Fwd: First CFP: 9th International Conference on User Modeling (UM 2003)
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Jul '02

01 Jul '02

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: First CFP: 9th International Conference on User Modeling (UM 2003) Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2002 14:22:04 -0400 From: Peter Brusilovsky <peterb(a)mail.sis.pitt.edu> To: ah(a)listserver.tue.nl, ml4um(a)gmd.de, um-announce(a)cs.usask.ca UM 2003: 9th International Conference on User Modeling http://www2.sis.pitt.edu/~um2003/ June 22 to June 26, 2003 University of Pittsburgh Conference Center Johnstown, Pennsylvania, USA CALL FOR PAPERS The International User Modeling Conferences are the events at which research foundations are being laid for the personalization of computer systems. In the last 15 years, the field of User Modelling has produced significant new theories and methods to analyze and model computer users in short and long-term interactions. A user model is an explicit representation of properties of individual users or user classes. It allows the system to adapt its performance to user needs and preferences. Methods for personalizing human-computer interaction based on user models have been successfully developed, applied and evaluated in a number of domains, such as information filtering, e-commerce, adaptive natural language and hypermedia presentation and tutoring systems. New trends in HCI create new and interesting challenges for User Modeling. While consolidating results in traditional domains of interest, the User Modeling field now also addresses problems of personalized interaction in mobile, ubiquitous and context-aware computing and in user interactions with embodied, autonomous agents. It also considers adaptation to user attitudes and affective states. Previous successes in User Modeling research reflect the cooperation of researchers in different fields, including artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, education, cognitive psychology and linguistics. The International User Modeling Conferences are characterized by active participation of people from these areas and by lively discussions in a pleasant environment. UM 2003 is the latest in a conference series begun in 1986, and follows recent meetings in Sonthofen (2001), Banff (1999), Sardinia (1997), Hawaii (1996) and Cape Cod (1994). As in past conferences, UM03 offers the following forms of participation: tutorials, invited talks, paper and poster sessions, a doctoral consortium, workshops and system demonstrations. AREAS OF INTEREST include, but are not limited to: * theoretical issues of user modeling: inference techniques (neural networks, numerical uncertainty management, logic-based formalisms, machine learning); consistency checking; * construction of user models: contents of user and student models (including knowledge, beliefs, goals, plans, attitudes, personalities and emotions); observation of users' behavior, user modeling agents; user modeling in mobile systems; * exploitation of user models to achieve: adaptive information filtering and retrieval, personalized natural language understanding and generation, delegation of tasks from user to system, adaptation of tutorial strategies; * applications of user modeling techniques: teaching systems, on-line help environments, e-commerce, adaptive NL and hypermedia generation, embodied conversational agents, support of collaboration, support of users with special needs; * practical issues of user modeling: privacy, security, evaluation. DEADLINES November 11, 2002 - preliminary workshop proposals November 18, 2002 - papers November 25, 2002 - posters November 25, 2002 - final workshop proposals November 25, 2002 - tutorial proposals January 25, 2003 - Doctoral Consortium submissions SUBMISSIONS: Papers and Posters: Submissions are invited that describe original academic or industrial research on some aspect of user modeling. Following the past User Modeling conferences we expect that the proceedings of UM2003 will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS). The paper and poster submissions should follow as close as possible the Springer LNCS format and should be submitted electronically as PDF or Postscript files. For instructions on the LNCS paper format, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The page limit is 10 pages for paper submissions and 3 pages for posters. Please indicate whether the first (or main) author is a student to qualify for the best student award. Detailed submission instructions will be available from the conference web site. Workshops and Tutorials The purpose of the workshops is to provide an informal forum for practitioners and researchers to discuss novel applications and techniques of user modeling. The formats of the workshops will be determined by their organizers, who are encouraged to foster discussion and exchange of ideas by including mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations, differentiating their workshops clearly from typical conference sessions. All workshops will last either one-half day or (preferably) a full day. The purpose of a tutorial is either to offer an introduction to a fairly broad topic for newcomers to user modeling or to enable experienced participants to deepen their knowledge of a more specific topic. Each tutorial will last one-half day. Detailed submission instructions for workshop proposals and tutorials will be available from the conference web site http://www2.sis.pitt.edu/~um2003. Doctoral Consortium Continuing a tradition that started in 1994, the UM Doctoral Consortium aims to provide qualified Ph.D. students with the opportunity to present their on-going research to the UM community. The Doctoral Consortium is a great forum to receive useful feedback from a knowledgeable audience, to exchange ideas, compare approaches and meet fellow researchers in the field. Submissions should describe Ph.D. research that is at a stage where feedback from the broader UM community might be of value. Thus, we expect students to be close to make their research proposal, or to have made it but have at least a year of work remaining before completion of their thesis. Submissions must be a maximum of three pages (including references) and should clearly specify: (i) the problem(s) that the proposed research is addressing (ii) the main contribution(s) of the research to the UM field (iii) the proposed solution(s), including a brief description of work already done and a tentative plan for future work. Detailed submission instructions will be available from the conference web site http://www2.sis.pitt.edu/~um2003/ CONFERENCE SITE: Following UM conference series practice, UM'03 conference will be held at the Conference Center at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (http://www.pitt.edu/~ccupj/). The center is tucked into 650 acres of beautiful woodlands in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, a region well known for its hiking, biking, and whitewater opportunities as well as for several world-class attractions such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.

Foremost among its many notable structures is the magnificent twin-spiraled Cathedral of Saint Maurice (12th-13th century) and the massive Castle of Angers (early 13th century), with its moat and soaring towers. Today the castle of Angers houses a tapestry museum that includes the famous 140 meters long Apocalypse series. The town has seen passing through it some of the greatest figures in the history of France: the Plantagenêts, King René, the writer François Rabelais, the poet Joachim du Bellay, as well as the composer Clément Janequin and the surgeon Ambroise Paré. Strategically located in the "Val de Loire", recently recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage for humanity, the site of the most beautiful French castles, near the Paris region and the western part of France, ANGERS is also at the heart of a knowledge-intensive region, offering a wide range of education centers and successful research institutes, and attracting many successful IT enterprises. The high-speed train (TGV) can easily reach Paris in only 1 1/2 hours. ______________________________________________________________________ HONORARY PRESIDENT Victor Hammon, École Supérieure d' Electronique de l' Ouest, France. ______________________________________________________________________ CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS Joaquim Filipe, Escola Superior de Tecnologia de Setúbal, Portugal (jfilipe(a)iceis.org) Slimane Hammoudi, École Supérieure d' Electronique de l' Ouest, France (slimane.hammoudi(a)eseo.fr) ______________________________________________________________________ PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Olivier Camp, École Supérieure d' Electronique de l' Ouest, France (olivier.camp(a)eseo.fr) Mario Piattini, E.S.
