*** FIRST CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM SUBMISSIONS ***
27th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation
and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2019)
Golden Bay Beach Hotel 5*, Larnaca, Cyprus, June 9-12, 2019
https://www.um.org/umap2019/
Submissions due: March 1, 2019
ACM UMAP 2019, 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, will, as
in previous issues of the conference series, include a Doctoral
Consortium
(DC) Session, which provides an opportunity for doctoral students
to explore
and develop their research interests under the guidance of
distinguished
researchers from the field. Doctoral students are invited to apply
to present
their research to experienced scholars who will provide
constructive
feedback and advice.
The Doctoral Consortium is implemented as a student mentoring
program
that introduces students to senior researchers from the relevant
fields.
Students are expected to document in a brief submission their
doctoral
research (see below described submission information for further
details),
which will be evaluated by the consortium committee.
Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a
Doctoral
Consortium Session as part of the conference. Promising, but less
well-
developed applications will be selected for presentation at a
poster session.
Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor
who
will provide feedback on the student's work and will discuss the
doctoral
research with the student and the audience at the consortium.
How to Submit to the Doctoral Consortium
To apply for the ACM UMAP 2019 Doctoral Consortium, students are
asked
to submit a paper presenting their doctoral research that
describes:
• The problem being addressed.
• Motivation outlining the relevance of the problem and referring
to
related work.
• The main contributions that the PhD project aims to achieve.
• The progress made to date (including a clear description of the
proposed approach, methodology and preliminary results) as well as
the
plan for further research.
• Topics include (but are not limited to) the ACM UMAP 2019 key
areas.
Each DC submission is encouraged to consider the following:
identification
of related (state of the art) work, indication of the potential
innovation,
application or advancement of the state-of-the-art that the work
intends to
achieve. In addition, as appropriate for the PhD project, the
submissions can
consider: indication of data to be used for experimentation,
indication of
implementation approach, indication of evaluation criteria and
experimental
design.
Each submission should contain a cover page including the paper
title, name
of the PhD candidate, the name of his/her supervisor(s) and
University, a
paragraph describing the stage they are in the PhD programme,
together
with a brief description of their background. This will enable the
committee
to adapt its assistance to each student.
Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair Doctoral Consortium
submission system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2019dc
Submissions should be pdf documents consisting of 1 cover page and
the
paper (up to 4 pages long), formatted using the ACM SIG
proceedings
template.
ACM UMAP Proceedings
The accepted ACM UMAP 2019 Doctoral Consortium papers will be
included
in the Conference Proceedings, which will be published by ACM and
that will
be available via the ACM Digital Library. The main author
(doctoral student)
must register for the conference for the paper to be included in
the
proceedings.
