Call for Papers - PATCH’2014 – The Future of Experiencing Cultural
Heritage, Haifa, Israel. February 24, 2014
The 7th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage
(PATCH 2014) will be this year co-located with the Intelligent User
Interfaces Conference <http://www.iuiconf.org/> (http://www.iuiconf.org/).
IUI is the annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and
serves as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding
research and development on intelligent user interfaces. It takes place in
Haifa, Israel on 24 February 2014. Next to the full research papers, we
also encourage submissions of position papers, short papers and
demonstrations to enable active discussion of the open challenges and
issues in this area of research. For more details check PATCH2014 webpage:

The PATCH workshop series (http://patchworkshopseries.wordpress.com/) is
the meeting point between state of the art cultural heritage and
personalization research – using technology to enhance the personal
experience in cultural heritage applications. We aim at building a research
agenda for personalization in cultural heritage in order to make the
individual cultural heritage experience a link in a chain of a lifelong
cultural heritage experience which builds on past experience, is linked to
daily life and provides the foundation for future experiences. The workshop
aims to be multi-disciplinary. It is intended for researchers,
practitioners, developers and students of information and communication
technologies (ICT), cultural heritage domains, e.g. museums, archives,
libraries, and more, and personalization.
Topics
Multimedia information systems, such as interactive tours, visualizations
and search engines, are now positioned centrally in a shared information
space consisting of (1) digitized artifacts (2) the social web (3) and
links between them. Personalization in multimedia information systems can
improve the experience of visitors by assisting them in finding appropriate
starting points, and in discovering new relevant information. Critically,
these systems must become smart, so that they are able to adaptively act,
react, respond and learn intelligently from user interactions. This
workshop investigates three timely and interrelated issues relevant to the
domains of both intelligent user interaction and cultural heritage:
-
Mobile, personalized and context-aware cultural heritage information
delivery – using mobile devices, large displays, projectors embedded in
the environment and new technologies including Google Glass.
-
Grow existing knowledge with new knowledge – Explore methods and tools
to capture knowledge resulting from interactions between users (collective
intelligence), professionals and collection artifacts, and interaction
between users and different (intelligent systems) collecting information
about them
-
Extend contexts of use – Appropriation of digitized artifacts from
memory organizations outside the traditional museum and research context
for both visitors and professionals
Call for papers
Besides the full research papers, we also encourage submissions of position
papers, short papers and demonstrations to enable active discussion of the
open challenges and issues in this area of research. We invite submissions
of work at all stages of development that address any aspects of
personalization in the cultural heritage domain, e.g., papers which
describe work in progress, empirical results, position statements, and
demonstrations of existing systems.
An extended abstract of the workshop will be included in the ACM Digital
Library for IUI 2014.
