Annual 'Evvie' for Excellence in Search Engine Study Papers Awarded
Stephen E. Arnold of ArnoldIT.com, http://www.arnoldit.com, announced the Evvie "best paper award" for 2009 at Infonortics' Boston Search Engine Meeting on April 28.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 5, 2009 -- Stephen E. Arnold of ArnoldIT.com, http://www.arnoldit.com, announced the Evvie "best paper award" for 2009 at Infonortics' Boston Search Engine Meeting on April 28.
The Evvie Award went to Dr. David Evans of JustSystems Evans Research for "E-Discovery: A Signature Challenge for Search." The paper explains the principal goals and challenges of E-Discovery techniques. The second place award went to Martin Baumgärtel of bioRASI for "Advanced Visualization of Search Results: More Risks or More Chances?", which addressed the gap between breakthroughs in visualization and actual application of techniques.
The Evvie is given in honor of Ev Brenner, one of the leaders in online information systems and functions. The award was established after Brenner's death in 2006. Brenner served on the program committee for the Boston Search Engine Meeting since its inception almost 20 years ago. He had two characteristics that made his participation a signature feature of each year's program: He was willing to tell a speaker or paper author to "add more content," and after a presentation, he would ask a presenter one or more penetrating questions that helped make a complex subject more clear.
The Evvie is sponsored by ArnoldIT.com to keep Brenner's push for excellence squarely in the minds of the speakers and the conference attendees.
This year's judges were Jill O'Neill, NFAIS, Dr. David Evans, Just Systems (Tokyo), and Sue Feldman, IDC Content Technologies Group. O'Neill is Director of Planning and Communications at NFAIS. Evans, founder of Clairvoyance, is one of the foremost authorities on search. Feldman is one of the leading analysts in the search, content processing, and information access market sector.
Stephen E. Arnold conceived the award. Arnold is the author of the new monograph "Google: The Digital Gutenberg" offers critical analysis and information to anyone connected with traditional media enterprises and to anyone charged with calculating threats and potential for media companies in book and magazine publishing, directory and guide compilation, television and video. The study reviews Google's content automation methods, dataspace functions and the company's increasing impact on education, scholarly publishing, and commercial online business as Google positions itself as a major player in the media industry.
The monograph is published by Infonortics, http://www.infonortics.eu/publications/index.html. A table of contents is posted at http://www.infonortics.com/publications/google/google-gutenberg.html.
