10th International Conference on User Modeling, UM'05
Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, 24-29 July, 2005
http://gate.ac.uk/conferences/um2005/
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
The International User Modeling Conferences represent the central forum
for the discussion and presentation of research and industry results in
the development of personalized systems, as well as basic research about
personalization. In the last 25 years, the field of User Modeling has
produced significant new theories and methods to analyze and model
computer users in short and long-term interactions. Moreover, methods
for
personalizing human-computer interaction based on user models have been
successfully developed, applied and evaluated in a number of domains,
such
as information filtering, e-commerce, adaptive natural language and
adaptive educational systems. New User Modeling topics are emerging,
including adaptation to user attitudes and affective states,
personalized interaction in mobile, ubiquitous and context-aware
computing
and in user interactions with embodied autonomous agents. User Modeling
research is being influenced by different fields, such as
Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction, Cognitive
Psychology, Linguistics, Education, as well as, by newly emerging
links with Customer Relationship Management and technologies for the
communication on the Web, such as Web Services and the Semantic Web.
UM'05 invites submissions in following categories:
* Papers and posters
* Workshops
* Tutorials
* Doctoral Consortium
Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited, to:
* acquisition, updating and management of
* user models and student models
* security and privacy aspects in the
* management of user data
* evaluation of user modeling techniques
* user model representation standards
* user model information sharing in ubiquitous
* services and smart environments
* user modeling servers
* user modeling in the Semantic Web
* user modeling and adaptive systems
* applications of user modeling systems and techniques
* data mining for personalization and cross-recommendation
* affective computing
* adaptation to the handicapped and elderly
* adaptive hypermedia and Web systems
* intelligent information retrieval, information
* filtering and content personalization
* collaborative filtering and recommender systems
* adaptive user interfaces
* dialog planning and response tailoring
* plan recognition and generation
* presentation planning
* recognition and correction of misconceptions
* intelligent tutoring systems
* human-computer cooperation, user support
* adaptive learning environments
* personalized Web sites and services
* personalized interaction in Virtual
* reality and 3D Interfaces
* personalized interaction in mobile,
* ubiquitous and context-aware computing
* embodied animated agents
* support of collaboration and group modeling
* engineering adaptive systems
All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of
relevance, originality, significance, soundness
and clarity. Three referees will review each submission.

------------------------------------------
SECOND CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to judge the
importance, quality, and benefits for the research community. Each
workshop should have one or more chairs and a program committee.
Proposals
should be 2-4 pages long and should provide the following information:
* Title of the proposed workshop.
* Names and full addresses, including contact details, of the
workshop chair(s).
* A brief description of the workshop topic and goals, its
relevance to UM05 and significance for the research field.
* A description of the target audience, areas from which the
participants are expected to come, strategy for publicizing the
workshop, number of expected participants, names of potential
attendees (if known).
* Arrangements for the organization of the workshop, including
length (half day or one day) and a brief outline of the workshop
describing anticipated format and possible session names.
* Names, addresses, and home page links of people who have agreed
to be part of the workshop program committee if the workshop
proposal is accepted. This list should preferably include people
from at least three different sites.
* A brief description of the organizers experience and background
in the topic, and links to web pages of the workshop chairs.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Workshops should be submitted via e-mail (either plain text or pdf
format)
to both UM05 workshop chairs:
Vania Dimitrova ([log in to unmask]) and
Kathleen McCoy ([log in to unmask]
with a subject line of: UM05 Workshop Proposal
Workshop organizers are encouraged to submit a preliminary workshop
proposal containing a brief outline of the workshop which will be used
to
identify possible overlap of workshop topics and, in this case,
cooperation and joint workshop organization may be suggested.
