Issues The CLEF research community has been outstanding and very active in designing, developing, and testing MLIA methods and techniques, constantly improving the performances of such components BUT Do we really know how MLIA components behave with respect to languages? Do we have a deep comprehension of how these components interact together when the language changes? CLEF 2009 Workshop Nicola Ferro and Donna Harman 2 September 30th - October 2nd 2009, Κέρκυρα , Greece
Objectives Look at differences across a wide set of languages; Identify best practices for each language; Help other countries to develop their expertise in the IR field and create IR groups; Provide a repository, in which all the information and knowledge derived from the experiments undertaken can be managed and made available CLEF 2009 Workshop Nicola Ferro and Donna Harman 3 September 30th - October 2nd 2009, Κέρκυρα , Greece

The CIRCO Framework The framework allows for a distributed , loosely-coupled , and asynchronous experimental evaluation of Information Retrieval (IR) systems where: distributed implies that different stakeholders can take part in the experimentation, each one providing one or more components of the whole IR system to be evaluated; loosely-coupled points out that minimal integration among the different components is required to carry out the experimentation; asynchronous underlines that no synchronization among the different components is required to carry out the experimentation.
