The Future Conversations workshop at CHIIR'21 looked to the future of search, recommendation, and information interaction ask: where are opportunities for conversational interactions? What do we need get there? Furthermore, who stands benefit? was hands-on interactive. Rather than a series technical talks, solicited position statements on opportunities, problems, solutions in search all modalities (written, spoken, or multimodal).

In this paper, we report a comparative study on what users' time spent searching for information is an indication of. Time commonly interpreted as implicit measure of interest, but might indeed describe other circumstances the retrieval (IR) interaction. This phenomenon interesting from IR evaluation point view with reference to how be interpreted. A comparison between semi-lab interactive (IIR) using simulated work task situations and naturalistic IIR presented. The findings are further...
Abstract Our aim is to introduce an emerging understanding of how practice theory can be used frame the analysis (work) task‐based research. This analytical work tentative, but has capacity furthering research by addressing dialogical relationships and embodied performances that constitute practice. We argue analyses task as a element contribute rich discussion knowledge construction in information studies.
