5th International Open Search Symposium
#ossym2023
Dear Experts, Supporters and Friends of Open Internet Search!
We are pleased to organize the 5th International Open Search Symposium #ossym2023. The conference will take place at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, and online from 4 to 6 October 2023.
Open Search aims for alternative solutions – both in research and practice concerning a multi-disciplinary field – to provide a wide range of independent and free options for navigating the web. Thus, we are calling for your participation with scientific papers, sharing of practical experiences or by introducing concepts and positions in relevant fields, such as computer science, legal and ethics. Full papers and abstracts presented at the #ossym2023 will be published open access in online proceedings (including DOIs and ISBN) following the event.
Please submit your papers: for research contributions we accept full papers (4-6 pages) and for any other contribution (concepts, best practices or practitioners’ experiences) an extended abstract (1 page).
All abstracts and papers have to be submitted at https://indico.cern. ch/e/OSSYM-2023 using the templates specified there. The acceptance of all full papers and extended abstracts is subject of a peer-review process.
We are looking forward to your contributions – see you in October!
