Over the past eighteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC) has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists and
application developers from around the world to interact and present
their work. SAC 2004 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on
Applied Computing (SIGAPP): its proceedings are published by ACM in
both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web
through ACM's Digital Library. Visit the SAC 2004 home page for

SPECIAL TRACK ON INFORMATION ACCESS AND RETRIEVAL (SAC-IAR)

Nowadays, one of the most important and challenging problems in
computer science is the definition of effective technologies, which
support access to information. With the expansion of the Internet
effective tools for finding relevant information are urgently
needed. This special track will be concerned with theory and, in
particular, applications of novel approaches to information access and
retrieval. The track has been successfully running within SAC since
2002.

Major topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
