DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSALS ● For tutorials: https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-tutorials/ ● For workshops: https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-workshops/ WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ACM UMAP 2023, the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and which collect, represent, and model user information, is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore emerging areas of User Modeling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program comprising different workshop formats, combining newly emerging, currently evolving and established research topics. Different full-day and half-day workshop schemas are possible, such as: ● Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; participants may be asked to submit a white paper or position statement ● Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper submission and review processes ● Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual or team participation ● Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the UMAP general research topics ● Joint panels for different workshops We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit workshop proposals. Researchers interested in submitting a workshop proposal are invited to contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful proposals. In particular, for workshop proposals with novel interactive formats, we are happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas. We strongly suggest involving organizers from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative structure that may attract various types of contributions and may ensure rich interactions. The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web site containing the call for papers and detailed information about the workshop organization and timeline. They will be responsible for their own publicity and reviewing processes. There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all the workshop papers will be published. Hence, the workshop organizers will need to adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication timeline. IMPORTANT DATES FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ● Proposal submission: January 16, 2023 ● Notification of proposal acceptance: January 30, 2023 ● Send the workshop description & website URL: February 23, 2023 ● Workshop Date: June 26, 2023 Deadlines refer to 23:59 in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone. TUTORIAL PROPOSALS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● New user modeling technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g. exploiting data mining and big data analytics for user modeling, evaluation methodologies, data visualization, etc.) ● User modeling and personalization techniques for specific domains (e.g., health sciences, e-government, e-commerce, cultural heritage, education, internet of things, mobile, music, information retrieval, etc.) ● Application of user modeling and personalization techniques for information retrieval and recommender systems ● Eliciting and learning user preferences by taking into account users’ emotional state, physical state, personality, trust, cognitive factors An ideal tutorial should be broad enough to provide a basic introduction to the chosen area, but it should also cover the most important topics in depth. Tutorial presenters can have one page in the adjunct proceedings.
