Adaptive Information Retrieval (IR) systems are designed to optimize retrieval effectiveness and user interaction in an underlying search environment. In this article, we report on a workshop held at Glasgow, UK, in October 2006. The workshop program consisted of three invited talks, four provocative presentations, and a panel discussion. In addition, 15 poster presentations enriched the workshop themes. Important pointers to further development of adaptive IR systems and their evaluation were suggested.
