Fwd: [AISWorld] ACM UMAP Workshop - HAAPIE 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Feb '20

25 Feb '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ACM UMAP Workshop - HAAPIE 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2020 11:25:20 +0100 From: pgerman <pgerman(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ACM UMAP Workshop - HAAPIE 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS The 5th International Workshop on Human Aspects in Adaptive and Personalized Interactive Environments, in conjunction with the 28th ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2020), Genoa, Italy, 14-17 July 2020 Full details are available online: http://haapie.cs.ucy.ac.cy IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: 09 April 2020 Notification: 30 April 2020 Camera-ready: 06 May 2020 MOTIVATION & GOALS State-of-the-art approaches in adaptation and personalization research consider user models that mostly maintain information regarding the “traditional” user characteristics (i.e., experience, knowledge, interests, context), and related contextual or technology aspects (i.e., displays, connectivity, processing power). While modeling these factors has shown significant improvements and benefits to the end-users in terms of user experience, there is an urgent need for a step change signifying the further engagement into research that will produce more holistic human-centered practices. The vision is to highlight the “human-in-the-loop” approach considering intrinsic user characteristics and abilities, like perceptual, personality, visual, cognitive and emotional factors adhering the theories of individual differences. Moreover, recent studies show the need for broadening the scope of diversity parameters to include characteristics such as motivation, self-actualization, and socio-cultural differences. The overarching goal of HAAPIE 2020 is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in areas of human aspects in adaptation and personalization, and aims to: - Explore state-of-the-art and new implicit and explicit methods and techniques for modeling a broad range of human factors of users and behaviors – both separately and in possible combinations (e.g., cognitive abilities and age; motivation and cultural differences); - Explore personalization methods, computational intelligence algorithms, recommendation models, and real-time paradigms that can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of human-centered user tasks and interventions; - Compare challenges and experiences in different real world contexts and applications (e.g., decision support, learning, wellbeing, security), where a holistic view on human aspects is needed to provide a positive user experience; and - Identify theoretical and computational models for the design, development and evaluation of human aspects in adaptation and personalization. The added value will be to shape new human-centered adaptive interactive environments and personalized platforms that can contribute towards viable long-term solutions. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Human-centered Modeling, Adaptation Methods and Techniques - Influence of Human Factors on Interactive Systems for Personalization - Usage of Human Factors for Personalization - Implicit and Explicit Detection of Human Factors for Personalization - Human-centered Algorithms for Content Recommendation and Delivery - Novel Human-centered Interaction Concepts and User Interfaces - Individual Differences (Personality, Cognition, Gender, Age, etc.) - Synergy of Affective and Human Cognitive Factors - Modeling Groups and Communities of Diverse Users - Evaluation of Human Aspects in Adaptation and Personalization - Personalized Access to Services Content - User Experience in Human-centered Systems - Cultural and Language Diversity and Adaptation - Age-specific Personalization and Adaptation - Adaptation and Personalization for Users with Special Needs - Personalization and Adaptation for Behavior Change - User Context Awareness - Human Aspects in Personalized Internet of Things Applications - User-centric Cyber-Physical-Social Adaptive Systems - Human Aspects in Social Adaptive Robots - Adaptation and Personalization in Usable Privacy and Security - Privacy & Ethical Aspects of Modeling Human Factors in Personalization Systems TYPES OF PAPERS In HAAPIE 2020 we encourage original and relevant contributions focusing on experiences and lessons learned from real-life applications, current state-of-the-art methodologies, challenges tackled and solutions adopted, tools, algorithms, and services in the academic, public or private sector, studies, theories, techniques, and evaluation procedures that could support human-centered adaptation and personalization issues in various levels of interactive environments. All workshop papers must contain original, previously unpublished, research work abiding the two publication types: - Full research papers (6 pages, incl. references), proposing new approaches, innovative methods and research findings. They should make substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field. - Short research papers (4 pages, incl. references), presenting work in progress, lessons learnt, positions, emerging or future research issues and directions on human aspect challenges in the area. Manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM Standard double-column (SIGCONF) templates (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION All papers will undergo a peer review process by at least two expert reviewers to ensure a high standard of quality. Referees will consider originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of exposition, and relevance to the workshop's topics. Research papers should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file through the EasyChair submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=haapie2020). Accepted papers will be published by ACM and will be available via the ACM Digital Library.

More specifically, with all economic and societal sectors being challenged by emergent digital technologies, this book aims to illustrate how organizations all around the globe leverage their capabilities to foster digital innovation, to develop digital business models, and to digitally transform themselves. In doing so, this book reports on best practices and lessons learned from organizations that succeeded in tackling challenges and seizing opportunities presented by the digital era. The cases provide insightful examples for practitioners and interesting cases for researchers, teachers, and students globally. All case descriptions follow a common format, making them easily accessible and comparable for the reader. Moreover, accompanying case materials facilitate the learning experience. TOPICS OF INTEREST The book intends to compile the experiences of organizations unfolding the potential of digital technologies, rethinking their business models for the digital age, and transforming the way they do business. The book’s focus is neither on traditional case studies published in academic journals nor on promotional offerings from consulting companies. Its intention is to share first-hand experiences that organizations have made with digitalization. That said, cases must be developed from the perspective of the organization in focus. For the learning to apply on a truly global scale, we aim for cases from the Americas, Europe and Africa, as well as the Asia-Pacific region. We invite industry cases addressing a wide range of topics. We welcome contributions related to any industry, including both business-to-consumer and business-to-business domains. Besides striving for new cases, we also appreciate updates on cases published in the book’s first edition. Updated cases should provide substantially new actions taken, results achieved, and lessons learned. Topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to: Digital Innovation - Insightful cases that demonstrate how innovative digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of things, virtual/augmented reality, robotic process automation) challenge existing businesses and offer new affordances - Application of innovative methods and approaches for the identification and selection of digital technologies, while accounting for organizational constraints and context factors - Assessments of the disruptive potential of emergent digital technologies - Approaches for demonstrating the value of disruptive technologies for particular business scenarios (e.g., prototyping, minimum viable products, smart services) - Roadmaps for the adoption of innovative technologies in organizations - Evaluation of user acceptance regarding disruptive technologies and development of corresponding training programs Digital Business - Examples of successful digital business models (e.g. platform business, sharing economy, social media, smart products and services) that challenge traditional business models - Identification of benefits and challenges of digitalization for organizations and their potential for new business models - Combination of physical products and digital services in ecosystems and offering of hybrid product-service systems - Methods for the development and evaluation of digital business models - Collaboration with start-ups and engagement in digital value networks to realize digital business models - Challenges and practical solutions related to cybersecurity in digital business Digital Transformation - Demonstration of how an organization successfully transformed itself into a digital enterprise - Strategies and transformation paths for structured and targeted digital change - Development and implementation of novel organizational approaches (e.g. bi- or multi-modal IT, agile at scale, business-managed IT) and processes (e.g. agile business process management, agile project management) - Definition and introduction of new roles (e.g. Chief Digital Officer or Chief Innovation Officer) - New paradigms and approaches for management, leadership, and performance management in the digital age - Change management and workforce transformation addressing digitalization challenges - Successful initiation of digital transformation programs (including a description of obstacles and roadblocks that had to be overcome, etc.) CASE FORMAT 1. Structured abstract (max. 400 words) 2. Introduction (approx. 500 words) 3. Situation faced (approx. 500 – 1,000 words) 4. Action taken (approx. 2,000 – 2,500 words) 5. Results achieved (approx. 1,000 – 2,000 words) 6. Lessons learned (approx. 1,000 – 2,000 words) Accompanying case materials (such as company presentations, teaching materials, etc.) are optional and can be handed in with final acceptance of the case. The actual name of the case company must be mentioned both in the title and throughout the manuscript.
