International Workshop on Adaptation and Personalization for Web 2.0
AP-WEB2.0
http://ailab.dimi.uniud.it/en/events/2009/ap-web20/
This workshop will collocated with UMAP 2009, http://umap09.fbk.eu/, June 22-26, 2009, Trento, Italy
Paper submission (EXTENDED) deadline: April 8th, 2009
OBJECTIVES
This workshop aims at discussing the state-of-the-art, open problems, challenges and innovative research approaches in adaptation and personalization for Web 2.0; it provides a forum both for proposing innovative and open models, applications and new data sharing scenarios, as well as novel technologies and methodologies for creating and managing these applications.
Examples of stimulating application fields are social bookmarking environments, publication sharing systems, or, more in general, digital libraries.
Three specific questions motivate this workshop.
1. How adaptation and personalization methodologies can augment Web 2.0 environments? And how can social adaptation mechanisms be evaluated?
2. What models, techniques, and tools are the most adequate to better support Web 2.0 users?
3. How much the introduction of tools for structuring personal user spaces (currently flat) can improve the creation and navigation processes and social awareness?
TOPICS
The topics of interest for the workshop are listed below. All of them have to be considered within the combined Web 2.0/Adaptation&Personalization perspective. Topics not explicitly listed below, which anyway adhere to the goals of the workshop, will be considered as well.
