Jiwen Huo	Title : Methodology to Evaluate Boolean Query Representations Abstract: The talk introduces a mehtodology that allows us to isolate a querying task into components. Based on the mehtodology, the time taken for completing each task component can be acquired. Different query representations can be evaluated and compared based on more precise quantitative measurements.
