The RIAO conference is a triennial conference, addressing research topics related to the design of robust and large-scale scientific and industrial solutions to information processing. Previous RIAO editions were held at Grenoble (1985), MIT (1988), Barcelona(1991), Rockefeller University (1994), Montreal (1997), Paris (2000), Avignon (2004), and Carnegie Mellon University(2007). RIAO conferences provide peer-reviewed scientific sessions and demonstrations of innovative industrial applications and advanced research prototypes.

The RIAO conferences are meeting places for scientific and industrial specialists in information retrieval. There are sites for presentations of both high-level peer-reviewed scientific research and prototypes and of innovative products, selected by a special Call for Applications. The products presented are chosen uniquely on the basis of their innovativeness in the area of the conference topics.
