In this paper we will briefly describe the approaches taken by the Cheshire (Berkeley) Group for the CLEF Adhoc-TEL 2009 tasks (Mono and Bilingual retrieval). Recognizing that many potentially relevant documents in each of the TEL sub-collections are in other languages, we tried to use multiple translations of the topics for searching each subcollection, combined into a single query. Overall th...

The Internet has undergone numerous transformations in its less than 20 years of existence. As discussed in the first of our selected papers, a fundamental transformation was its migration from Web 1.0 (with a broadcast-oriented architecture enforcing a strict separation between consumers and producers) to the social Web 2.0 (supporting broad-based participation allowing users to create and sha...

We describe the current situation concerning methods to search for relic neutrinos from the Big Bang and from all past supernovae (SNs). The most promising method for Big Bang neutrinos is by the interaction of ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrinos. For supernova neutrinos, both Super Kamiokandeand ICARUS-type detectors will be important to study both *e and e fluxes. We also discuss a dedicated su...

Abstract. Over the past five years, EC-TEL has established itself as a major conference on learning with and through technology. Nearly 600 researchers have contributed about 230 full and short papers on various topics in the domain of Technology Enhanced Learning. In this paper we analyze the contributions of five years of EC-TEL and identify prolific authors, successful co-author-networks and...
