Preface

This volume contains the papers presented at the ECIR 2015 workshop Support-
ing Complex Search Tasks (SCST 2015) held on March 29, 2015 at the Vienna
University of Technology, in Vienna, Austria.
    The workshop addresses many open research questions relating to complex
search tasks: What are the obvious use cases and applications of complex search?
What are essential features of work tasks and search tasks to take into account?
And how do these evolve over time? With a multitude of information, varying
from introductory to specialized, and from authoritative to speculative or opin-
ionated, when to show what sources of information? How does the information
seeking process evolve and what are relevant differences between different stages?
With complex task and search process management, blending searching, brows-
ing, and recommendations, and supporting exploratory search to sensemaking
and analytics, UI and UX design pose an overconstrained challenge. How do we
know that our approach is any good?
    Supporting complex search task requires new collaborations across the whole
field of IR, and the workshop is one step in bringing together a diverse group of
researchers to work together on one of the greatest challenges of our field.
   The workshop program contains a diverse set of papers covering many as-
pects of search. There were 8 submissions. Each submission was reviewed by
at 3 program committee members. The committee decided to accept 7 papers
(acceptance rate 87.5%). The program also includes an invited keynote talk by
Diane Kelly (UNC, Chapel Hill) on search task complexity.
   We thank the program committee members for their timely and constructive
reviews. We gratefully acknowledge the support of EasyChair for organizing
paper submission and reviewing and producing the proceedings.
