%   AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
% ---------------------------------

You are cordially invited to participate in SPIRE 2011, the 18th International Symposium on String Processing and
Information Retrieval. The scope of the SPIRE series of symposia includes not only fundamental algorithms in string
processing and information retrieval, but also SP and IR techniques as applied to areas such as computational biology,
DNA sequencing, and Web mining. Given its interdisciplinary nature, SPIRE offers a unique opportunity for researchers
from these different areas to meet and network. Typical topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* String Processing: Dictionary algorithms, Text searching, Pattern matching, Text and sequence compression, Succinct
and compressed indexing, Automata-based string processing;
* Biological Sequence Processing: Analysis of DNA and RNA sequencing data, Molecular sequence processing, Recognition of
genes and regulatory elements, Comparative genomics and population genetics;
* Information Retrieval: Information retrieval models, Indexing, Ranking and filtering, Interface design for IR,
Evaluation issues in IR, Text analysis, Text mining, Text classification and clustering, Information extraction,
Language models and topic models for search related-tasks, Efficient implementation of IR systems, Algorithms and data
structures for IR;
* Search-related tasks: Cross-lingual information retrieval, Multimedia / multi-modal information retrieval,
Recommendation and collaborative filtering, Semi-structured data retrieval, Blog retrieval.
