=============================================================================================
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the premier annual event
on research and
applications of recommendation technologies, the Sixth ACM Conference on
Recommender
Systems (RecSys 2012). The conference will be held on September 9-13 in
Dublin, Ireland.
Previous conferences have been distinguished by a strong level of
interaction between
researchers and practitioners in the sharing of ideas, problems and
solutions, and the 2012
conference will continue in this tradition. The fully-refereed
proceedings will be
published by the ACM and, like past RecSys proceedings, are expected to
be widely read and
cited.
Please see the complete list of calls for contribution at
http://recsys.acm.org/2012/call_for_papers.html
Topics of Interest
==================
We construe recommender systems broadly, including applications ranging
from e-commerce to
social networking, platforms from web to mobile and beyond, and a wide
variety of
technologies ranging from collaborative filtering to case-based
reasoning. Topics of
interest for RecSys 2012 include (but are not limited to):
- Algorithm scalability
- Case studies of real-world implementations
- Computational advertising
- Conversational recommender systems
- Context-aware and multidimensional models
- Evaluation metrics and studies
- Explanations and evidence
- Group recommenders
- Impact studies
- Innovative/New applications
- Machine learning for recommendation
- Novel paradigms
- Personalization
- Preference elicitation
- Recommendation algorithms
- Social recommenders
- User interfaces
- Security, privacy, trust, and reputation
- Semantic web technologies for recommendation
- Theoretical foundations
- User modelling
- User studies
Submission Information
===========================
All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically in PDF
format. RecSys 2012
submissions should be prepared according to the standard ACM SIG
proceedings format. For
your convenience, we provide paper templates in Microsoft Word and LaTeX
on the conference
website.
Papers
----------
http://recsys.acm.org/2012/call_for_papers.html
There are two paper submission categories:
Long paper submissions should report on substantial contributions of
lasting value. The
maximum length is 8 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format.
Each accepted long
paper will be presented in a plenary session as part of the main
conference program. We
expect the review process to be highly selective: in 2011, the
acceptance rate for full
papers was 20%.
Short paper submissions typically discuss exciting new work that is not
yet mature enough
for a long paper. The maximum length is 4 pages in the standard ACM SIG
proceedings format.
Each accepted short paper will be presented in a poster session. The
presentation may
include a system demonstration.
Note: Please note that rejected long paper submissions will not be
automatically considered
as short papers.
More details on the submission procedure are available at
http://recsys2012.ucd.ie/submission.html.
Demos
----------
http://recsys.acm.org/2012/call_for_demos.html
Demos should be submitted via e-mail to [log in to unmask] and
[log in to unmask] and must include:
1. A two page, camera-ready extended abstract describing the demonstrated
technology for publication in the conference proceedings (proceedings are
published by ACM; use the ACM SIG format used by the long & short papers
to format your abstract). For formatting templates please see
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
2. A one-page summary of the demo system and the required setup and any
additional user engagement envisioned such as pre-registration of
attendees. If the system will feature an installable component (e.g.
mobile app) or web site for users to use throughout or after the
conference, please mention this; exact URLs and installation instructions
can be provided as the conference approaches. The summary should also
provide information about the presenter(s), including their relationship
to the project.
Tutorials
------------

The tutorial proposal should be a PDF document no more than 2 pages
long, submitted by e-mail to [log in to unmask] and organized as
follows:
1. Tutorial Title
2. Name, email address, and affiliation for tutorial instructor(s). Each
listed instructor should present at the conference.
3. Detailed bulleted outline of the tutorial (this should take most of
the proposal's space)
4. Targeted audience, prerequisite knowledge,
5. Importance of this topic for the RecSys community
6. History of prior tutorials from the instructor(s)
Workshops
----------------
http://recsys.acm.org/2012/call_for_workshops.html
The workshop proposal should be a PDF document no more than 4 pages long,
submitted by e-mail to [log in to unmask] and organized as follows:

Doctoral Symposium
------------------------------
http://recsys.acm.org/2012/call_for_symposium.html
Submissions are invited from current graduate students pursuing a PhD
project who would benefit from detailed workshop discussions of their
doctoral research by a panel of established researchers. Funding for
selected applicants may be available to offset some accommodation expenses
please check back here or email the chairs for updates.
Submission materials consist of:
1. An extended abstract (see below).
2. A curriculum vitae.
3. A one-paragraph statement of expected benefits of participation (see
below).
4. A letter of recommendation from the student's primary dissertation
advisor.
Submit your contribution to
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recsys12doctoralsymp by April
23rd, 5:00 PM (1700) PST. Furthermore, your supervisor should send a
recommendation letter in the form of a single PDF file to
[log in to unmask] Your contribution should be named
lastname_ds.pdf, where lastname is your family name. The file must be no
larger than 5 Mbytes in size. Please ask your advisor to name the file
(and set the email subject) according to the convention:
studentLastName_ds_ref. We will send email acknowledgements to you when
your application is received and to your advisor when his/her
recommendation is received.
