The Workshop on Large-Scale Distributed Systems for Information Retrieval was a venue for seminal ideas on the design of systems for search. The workshop focused mainly on mechanisms for P2P IR, which is currently a highly popular research area, but it also had fruitful discussions and presentations on other architectures for large-scale systems. Given the attendance and the good level of discussion, we conclude that systems for information retrieval is a growing and promising area of research.
