CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
In conjunction with the
21st International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and
Personalization (UMAP 2013)
Rome, Italy
June 10-14, 2013
http://www.umap2013.org/
===========================
UMAP 2013 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the conference.
The goal of the workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research
on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research
questions and challenges.
We welcome proposals for half-day and full-day workshops. We encourage
proposals for a wide range of workshops, including but not limited to:
- Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; such
workshops may wish to ask participants to submit a white paper or
position statement.
- Mini-conferences on specialized topics; such workshops may have their
own paper submission and review processes.
- Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual
or team participation.

PROPOSAL FORMAT
===============
The workshop proposals should be PDF documents not exceeding 5 pages,
submitted by e-mail to the workshop co-chairs at:

The proposals should be organized as follows:
- Workshop title and acronym
- Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address, and homepage
- Abstract (up to 300 words) and Topics
- Motivation on why the topic is of particular interest at this time
- Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper
presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussion
- 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)
- Past versions of the workshop, including URLs as well as submission
and acceptance statistics.
Additionally, we strongly suggest to have organizers from different
institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We
welcome workshops with a creative structure that attracts various types
of contributions and ensures 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. The organizers will be responsible
for their own reviewing process, publicity, and publishing electronic
proceedings (e.g., on the CEUR-WS website). They will be required to
closely cooperate with the UMAP workshops chairs to finalize the above
mentioned details.
