Scalability Challenges in Web Search Engines
In this book, we aim to provide a fairly comprehensive overview of the scalability and efficiency challenges in large-scale web search engines. More specifically, we cover the issues involved in the design of three separate systems that are commonly available in every web-scale search engine: web crawling, indexing, and query processing systems. We present the performance challenges encountered in these systems and review a wide range of design alternatives employed as solution to these challenges, specifically focusing on algorithmic and architectural optimizations. We discuss the available optimizations at different computational granularities, ranging from a single computer node to a collection of data centers. We provide some hints to both the practitioners and theoreticians involved in the field about the way large-scale web search engines operate and the adopted design choices. Moreover, we survey the efficiency literature, providing pointers to a large number of relatively important research papers. Finally, we discuss some open research problems in the context of search engine efficiency.
Advances in Information Retrieval
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 34th European Conference on IR Research, ECIR 2012, held in Barcelona, Spain, in April 2012. The 37 full papers, 28 poster papers and 7 demonstrations presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 167 submissions. The contributions are organized in sections named: query representation; blogs and online-community search; semi-structured retrieval; evaluation; applications; retrieval models; image and video retrieval; text and content classification, categorisation, clustering; systems efficiency; industry track; and posters.

Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction. Design for All and EInclusion
The four-volume set LNCS 6765-6768 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction, UAHCI 2011, held as Part of HCI International 2011, in Orlando, FL, USA, in July 2011, jointly with 10 other conferences addressing the latest research and development efforts and highlighting the human aspects of design and use of computing systems. The 57 revised papers included in the first volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: design for all methods and tools; Web accessibility: approaches, methods and tools; multimodality, adaptation and personlization; and eInclusion policy, good practice, legislation and security issues.
Bias and Social Aspects in Search and Recommendation
This book constitutes refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Algorithmic Bias in Search and Recommendation, BIAS 2020, held in April, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic BIAS 2020 was held virtually. The 10 full papers and 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and seleced from 44 submissions. The papers cover topics that go from search and recommendation in online dating, education, and social media, over the impact ofgender bias in word embeddings, to tools that allow to explore bias and fairnesson the Web.
