=================================================================================
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.
