There will be a special issue of Information Processing and Management out this summer on this topic. Several papers at the ACM SIGIR Conf. on R&D in Information Retrieval in New Orleans in a few weeks will be about this - I will announce how to get proceedings from ACM when they become available. There was a 2 part article in JASIS by Biswas et al. recently. Notable other systems include I3R by Croft and Thomson, RUBRIC by Tong et al., CODER by Fox et al, CANSEARCH by Pollitt, ... Also, there are abstracts in issues of ACM SIGIR Forum. If you are not an ACM SIGIR member, I encourage joining -- it still only costs $6 to ACM members, but dues will jump to $12 soon. - Ed]
