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.
