=================================================================================
UMAP 2014 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. We welcome proposals for half-day
and full-day workshops. We encourage proposals for a wide
range of workshops, including but not limited to:
-
Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic;
such workshops may wish to ask participants to submit a
white paper or position statement.
-
Mini-conferences on specialized topics; such workshops may
have their own paper submission and review processes.
- Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics
with individual or team participation.
=============== PROPOSAL FORMAT ===============
The
workshop proposals should be PDF documents not exceeding 5
pages, submitted by email to the workshop chairs. The
proposals 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
- Motivation on why the topic is of particular interest at
this time
-
Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as
paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and general
discussion
-
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)
- Past versions of the workshop, including URLs as well as
submission and acceptance statistics.
Additionally, we strongly suggest to have organizers from
different institutions, bringing different perspectives to
the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative
structure that attracts various types of contributions and
ensures 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.
The organizers will be responsible for their own reviewing
process, publicity, and publishing electronic proceedings
(e.g., on the CEUR-WS website). They will be required to
closely cooperate with the UMAP workshops chairs to
finalize the above mentioned details.
