WIRUL '96

WIRUL '96.
2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval, Uncertainty and Logic

12 July 1996
Hosted by the IR Group at the Department of Computing Science, Glasgow, Scotland
Organised and chaired by Fabio Crestani, University of Padua and Mounia Lalmas, University of Glasgow

The proceedings of the first workshop are also available.

This booklet contains the Proceedings of WIRUL 96, the Second Workshop on Information Retrieval, Uncertainty and Logic, that was held in Glasgow on the 12th July 1996. The interest shown in last year's Workshop motivated us to organise a second event this year. The idea of the WIRUL Workshop is to compare and discuss the use of logics and uncertainty theories to model information retrieval systems. Most of the work presented here is "work-in-progress"; as such this year proceedings only contain "extended abstracts". We encourage the readers to contact the various authors for more details about their work.
