Overview
In 2007,
participants from five continents gathered for the first
DESI Workshop at the ICAIL
2007
conference in California. The workshop drew people together from
mutiple areas with an interest in considering the challenges presented by
e-discovery, with a focus on dealing with large collections of
electronically stored information (ESI) during
litigations and regulatory investigations.
This year, the
second DESI workshop will be held at University
College London in the UK,
hosted by UCL Interaction Centre.
The aim will be to bring together legal practitioners, service
providers and researchers to develop the research
agenda further, to elaborate a European perspective on these issues,
and
to consider how developments in areas such as Information Retrieval,
Artificial Intelligence and Human
Computer Interaction might be brought to bear on key problems.

The workshop
coordinates with the International
Conference on Digital Evidence on 26th-27th June at Vintners Hall
in London.
Here you can submit papers
and find additional information (including dissemination after the
event).
We are inviting the submission of short position papers and papers
reporting original
research (for the call for papers please see the paper submission
section). To encourage delegates to contribute position papers (at
least), registration is limited to those submitting papers until 10th
May.
For additional background (with particular reference to work by The
Sedona Conference®
and the legal track of the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC)) please see
