The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on User Centered Design and Adaptive Systems, UCDAS 2015, is co-located with COMPSAC 2015, http://www.computer.org/portal/web/COMPSAC/home. The aim of this Workshop is to introduce the combination of different disciplines to build adaptive systems. Also, to discuss this approach and the state-of-the-art advances in research and development of the construction of user-centered adaptive systems. This Workshop is addressed to researchers from different disciplines in academia and industry, as well as practitioners, who share interests in adaptive systems design and development. The focus will be on the processes and methodologies combining techniques from these disciplines and the experiences drawn from adaptive system design practice, as well as on emergent topics. UCDAS 2015 Theme An adaptive system changes to improve its performance by adjusting its operation to the feedback from the users. An adaptive system infers the goals and needs of users from multiple sources of information in terms of activity and interests. Research on adaptive systems should be addressed to identify new means for enriching the user experience through advances in automated reasoning, adaption and user interface design. User models are particularly important. To build adaptive systems, a combination of different disciplines is required, such as usability engineering, human-computer interaction, software engineering, system engineering, psychology, and sociology; each one providing its principles and techniques. Topics of interest Fundamentals and design of adaptive systems; User Modeling and Intelligent User Interfaces; Psychological Studies; Novel Input Devices and Sensors; Conversational Systems; Frameworks and Architectures for Adaptive Supporting Platforms; User and Interaction: Information Access, Filtering, and Management; Human-Computer Interaction Design and Visualization; Software Engineering for Adaptive Systems. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: March 18, 2015 Author notification deadline: April 10, 2015 Camera-ready copy and registration deadline: April 30, 2015 Paper Guidelines The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings. Papers should be no more than 6 pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines in preparing your paper. For more information of paper guidelines, please visit: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/COMPSAC/home. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Work publication The IEEE Computer Society Press will publish accepted papers in the workshop proceedings and IEEE Explore. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a participant of the workshop and present the paper at the workshop, in order to have the paper published in the proceedings. Select papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the International Journal of Universal Access in the Information Society (Springer) (To be confirmed).
