ACM UMAP 2020, the premier international conference for
researchers and
practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or
to groups
of users, and which collect, represent, and model user
information, is
pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the
conference. The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore
emerging
areas of User Modelling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a
group of
like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and
academia.

Workshop Format
In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program
comprising
different workshop formats, combining newly emerging, currently
evolving and
established research topics. Different full-day and half-day
workshop
schemas are possible, such as:
· Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic;
participants
may be asked to submit a white paper or position statement
· Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper
submission
and review processes
· Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with
individual or
team participation
· Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the
UMAP general
research topics.
· Joint panels for different workshops
Instructions for Proposers
Workshop proposals should not exceed 5 pages and should be
organized as
follows:
· Workshop title and acronym
· Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address,
homepage, and
experiences in organizing such events
· Abstract (up to 300 words) and topics of interest
· Motivation on why the workshop is of particular interest at this
time
· Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper
presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussions
· Intended audience and expected number of participants
· List of (potential) members of the program committee (at least
50% have
to be confirmed at the time of the proposal)
· Requested duration (half day or full day)
· When available, past editions of the workshop, including URLs, a
brief
statement on the development of the workshop series, e.g., in
terms of
topics, number of paper submissions and participants,
post-workshop
publications over the years and acceptance statistics
Submission and Review Process
Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair
submission site:
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020>
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020
We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit
workshop
proposals.
Researchers interested in submitting a workshop proposal are
invited to
contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful
proposals. In
particular, for workshop proposals with novel interactive formats,
we are
happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas.
We strongly suggest involving organizers from different
institutions,
bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome
workshops
with a creative structure that may attract various types of
contributions
and may ensure rich interactions.
The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web
site
containing the call for papers and detailed information about the
workshop
organization and timeline. They will be responsible for their own
publicity
and reviewing processes.
There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM
where all
the workshop papers will be published. Hence, the workshop
organizers will
need to adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication timeline.
