*** CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ***
28th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2020) University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy, July 14-17, 2020 https://www.um.org/umap2020/ Proposals due: January 20, 2020 Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020 ACM UMAP 2020, 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 Modelling 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. PROPOSAL FORMAT Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020, not exceeding 5 pages and organized as follows: - Workshop title and acronym - Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address, homepage, and experiences in organizing such events - Abstract (up to 300 words) and topics of interest - Motivation on why the workshop is of particular interest at this time - Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussions - Intended audience and expected number of participants - List of (potential) members of the program committee (at least 50% have to be confirmed at the time of the proposal) - Requested duration (half day or full day) - When available, past editions of the workshop, including URLs, a brief statement on the development of the workshop series, e.g., in terms of topics, number of paper submissions and participants, post-workshop publications over the years and acceptance statistics. INSTRUCTIONS 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.
