Desktop search refers to the process of searching within one’s personal space of information. The information searched during a desktop search can include content that resides on one's personal computer (e.g., documents, emails, visited Web pages, and multimedia files), and may extend to content on other personal devices, such as music players and mobile phones. This workshop aims to bring together people interested in desktop search with the goal of fostering collaborations and addressing the challenges faced in this area.
