It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Glasgow and to the Fourth ACM SIGIR Conference on Information Interaction and Retrieval (CHIIR'19). The number of contributed papers and short papers, and the number of conference attendees, clearly demonstrate the value of this unique forum for researchers and students interested in the user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval. We are very pleased to see a great range of topics and institutions represented in the programme for this edition of the CHIIR conference series. We would like to thank the people and institutions who have contributed to making CHIIR'19 a success. We first thank the authors for providing the content of the conference program. The three Program chairs, Hideo Joho, Vanessa Murdock and Pernilla Qvarfordt invested a huge amount of time and effort in organizing the paper reviewing and selection process for the full and short papers, and in putting together a very interesting program, with the help of the Senior Program Committee and the Program Committee. We are grateful for the efforts of the Tutorial Chair, Catherine L. Smith, the Workshops Chairs, Stephann Makri and Suzan Verberne, the organizers of the Doctoral Consortium, Yashar Moshfeghi and Heather O'Brien, the Demos and Resources Chairs, Jiyin He and Frank Hopfgartner, the Publicity Chair, Diane Pennington, and the Publications Chair, Craig Macdonald. We also very grateful to Mateusz Dubiel and Sylvain Daronnat, for leading the student volunteers and for all their support with our webpages. Finally, we thank the hosting organization, the University of Strathclyde, for their practical support we could wish for, our colleagues at the Technology and Innovation Centre for help with all the logistics of the conference, and the City of Glasgow for inviting us into the City Chambers for the welcome reception. We hope that you will find the program interesting and thought-provoking and the interaction with old and new friends and colleagues engaging and stimulating, - and that you will enjoy the city of Glasgow!.

Why does information technology disappoint or enslave us? Why do so many information systems projects collapse? How can we do better? There are many technical, social, economic and other aspects to consider. How do we ensure we take all these into account as we research ITC or employ them? ICT affects our lives and world more profoundly than ever before. How may we understand it? This book employs philosophy to lay foundations for understanding the complexity of ICT, in five areas: The nature of information and computers, and artificial intelligence; The use of ICT at work and home, for serious and less-serious use; The ICT features that annoy or delight us; Societal issues, such as surveillance, e-government, ICT in developing countries, climate change, what technological progress is and what is the role of ICT as a whole and of the information systems field; ICT development - including computer programming, knowledge engineering and project management. The ideas in this book emerge from five decades of experience of the author with ICT, across industry, the professions and academic life. Information systems researchers will enjoy this book because it offers them new ideas and fresh perspectives. On the 500th anniversary of the European Reformation, this book introduces and applies the Reformational Philosophy of mid-20th-century Dutch thinker, Herman Dooyeweerd, to contemporary challenges of the 21st century. Excitingly, this accessible philosophy is grounded in everyday experience and yields a rich seedbed of ideas, which researchers and practitioners can develop to their advantage.

"The purpose of the book is to deliver a critical review of the literature and author's research data relevant for understanding the phenomena of curiosity, information seeking behavior, and novelty seeking. The book is designed to be a comprehensive and systematic lecture of areas related to the main subject in a way that will enable the reader to grasp the notion of development in terms of the evolutionary time scale and ontogenesis. Each of the subjects is explained on the basis of three perspectives: ultimate factors, integrative levels, and proximate mechanisms. This work is intended to integrate approaches adopted within psychology, ethology, and behavioral neuroscience. The major uniqueness is related to the integrative levels framework, which is not very often utilized the the contemporary books on the subject. This is why the book offers holistic, complete presentation of the area that it does cover. It should be of interests of students of psychology, animal behavior, as well teachers and educators. It provides refreshing cues for creative thinking about human curiosity. The present edition includes new data and the discussion of the new literature on the subject"--
