NEW! The Gerard Salton Award 2006
In SIGIR 2006, Professor Keith van Rijsbergen won the
Gerard Salton Award for his
"significant, sustained and continuing contributions to research in information retrieval".
The acceptance talk was titled Quantum haystacks, presenting "a curious mixture of personal history and developing ideas in the context of the growing field of IR covering several decades".

Congratulations, Keith!
The Information Retrieval Group led by Professor Keith van Rijsbergen has a vigorous programme of research,
based on both theory andexperiment, aimed at developing novel, effective, and efficientretrieval approaches for all types of information. The group plays aleading role in the international information retrieval community andhas set trends in many aspects of IR research. The IR group of Glasgowis one of the oldest and major information retrieval research centres inthe world.
The group, part of the Department of Computing Science, University ofGlasgow, has a long and strong research history in a wide area ofinformation retrieval research from theoretical modelling of theretrieval process to large-scale text retrieval systems building and tothe interactive evaluation of multimedia information retrieval systems.The group's interests also include areas such as large-scale and highperformance text retrieval, Web information retrieval, Distributed andPeer-to-Peer retrieval, Intranet/Enterprise and Blog search,multilingual retrieval, and the development of novel adaptiveinteraction techniques. Our research preserves a strong emphasis ontheoretically-driven, still practical solutions for large-scale documentcollections. The group maintains strong links with researchers inMachine Learning and Human-Computer Interaction, as well as withindustry through knowledge and technology transfer. Members of the grouphave also been extensively involved in organising major conferences,workshops and summer schools in the area of information retrieval.
