ACM UMAP Workshop - HAAPIE 2021 1st CALL FOR PAPERS
The 6th International Workshop on Human Aspects in Adaptive and
Personalized Interactive Environments, in conjunction with the
29th ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and
Personalization (ACM UMAP 2021), ONLINE from Utrecht, the
Netherlands, 21-25 June 2021.
Full details are available online:

# IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: 26 Macrh 2021
Notification: 19 April 2021
Camera-ready: 07 May 2021
# 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 2021 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.

# TYPES OF PAPERS
In HAAPIE 2021 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 (10 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 (7 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 new workflow for ACM
publications – as single-column paper submissions. Instructions
and templates are available here:
https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow.
# 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 by selecting the
track "Workshop-HAAPIE"
(
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021). Accepted
papers will be published by ACM and will be available via the ACM
Digital Library.
