Proceedings of the 5th Information Interaction in Context Symposium

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the fifth Information Interaction in conteXt Conference, IIiX2014 in Regensburg. The conference has been organised by the Chair for Information Science at the University of Regensburg. The conference follows four previous IIiX symposia in Copenhagen ('06), London ('08), New Brunswick ('10) and Nijmegen ('12). These proceedings contain the refereed papers presented at the conference. The IIiX conference explores the relationships between and within the contexts that affect information retrieval (IR) and information seeking, how these contexts impact how users behave with and around information, and how knowledge of information contexts and behaviours can be used to improve the design of interactive information systems. The intention of IIiX is to foster an integrated approach to information access by bringing together members of the research communities in information seeking behaviour, user interface design for IR systems and IR system design.
