BCS IR Specialist Group Networked Information Retrieval Room 214 Department of Computer Science University College London 17th November 1993 at 2pm Developments in networking have merely served to make intractable problems of information retrieval even more intractable by changing the relations of time and space in which information is produced and consumed. This has not been helped by people who think that achieving ls, cd and get is progressing IR. However it is clear that by building interoperable networks a new complexity has been added to the older problems which might mean that we can look at them in a new light. Partly this is the consequence of the success of TCP/IP in achieving a level of penetration not achieved by OSI so far, partly decisions by research and academic networks providers to allow secondary and commercial connectivity. And now the involvement of cable television companies in providing high bandwidth with the possibility that it will become pervasive. This meeting will try to establish how these developments will provide new opportunities for real network information retrieval. It is aimed at people who have an experience of networks but less so of information retrieval or people with IR experience and who are concerned at how much progress has been made in actually using their networks to answer questions.
