**********************************************************
2nd International Workshop on Decision Making and Recommender Systems 2015

  October 22-23, 2015, Bozen-Bolzano, Italy.
  http://dmrsworkshop.inf.unibz.it
**********************************************************

Deadline for Poster Submissions: 25th, September, 2015

Background and Scope
=======================
While most research in recommender systems is conducted in recommendation
techniques, which boils down to rating prediction algorithms, there is
still little
discussion on the impact of the supported user interaction and its effect
on the
decision making behaviors that are enabled and supported. User
interactions and
decision-making are however critical in recommender system research. Hence
it is
important to design the interaction while understanding its impact on the
user
decision-making behavior and heuristic in order to support an effective
process.
Therefore with this workshop we aim to go beyond recommendation techniques
and
algorithm evaluations and further merit the research attention from both
recommender
systems and human factor.


Invited Speakers
=======================
Joseph Konstan, University of Minnesota, USA
Invited Talk: User Experience and New Ways of Recommending

Bamshad Mobasher, DePaul University, USA
Invited Talk: Context Aware Computing

Martijn Willemsen, TU Eindhoven, Netherlands

Poster submissions
=================
We call for extended abstracts, and hands-on demonstrations. All
submissions will be
reviewed by the conference organisers. While promoting the presentation of
novel,
even if, not completely validated ideas and theories. Hence, preference
will be
given to innovative, truly interdisciplinary work, bridging the research
gap between
recommender system and user decision making.

Each submission should be max 4 pages including the references. The
submissions
should be formatted using Springer LNCS Format

Submission Deadline: 25th September 2015
The notification will be on a rotating basis, early submission is encouraged.
