Call for Papers - ACM UMAP 2020
28th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and
Personalization
Theme: "Responsible Personalization"
Genoa (Italy)
July 14-17, 2020
Website:
https://www.um.org/umap2020/
============================
Abstracts due: January 31, 2020 (mandatory)
Papers due: February 7, 2020
============================
BACKGROUND AND SCOPE:
============================
ACM UMAP - User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization - is the
premier
international conference for researchers and practitioners working
on
systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and
that
collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP is
sponsored by ACM
SIGCHI and SIGWEB, and organized with User Modeling Inc. as the
core
Steering Committee, extended with past years' chairs. The
proceedings are
published by ACM and will be part of the ACM Digital Library.
ACM UMAP covers a wide variety of research areas where
personalization and
adaptation may be applied. This includes a number of domains in
which
researchers are engendering significant innovations based on
advances in
user modeling and adaptation, recommender systems, adaptive
educational
systems, intelligent user interfaces, e-commerce, advertising,
digital
humanities, social networks, personalized health, entertainment,
and many
more.
We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization
and
adaptation in any area; the conference web site provides a
detailed (but not
proscriptive) list of topics and sub-topics of importance to the
conference.
As the theme for UMAP 2020 is "Responsible Personalization,"
submissions in
all areas that emphasize ethical dimensions of personalized
systems are
welcome.

SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
============================
Papers will be submitted through EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2020
Long (8 pages + references) and Short (4 pages + references)
papers in ACM
style. Original research papers addressing the theory and/or
practice of
UMAP, and papers showcasing innovative use of UMAP and exploring
the
benefits and challenges of applying UMAP technology in real-life
applications and contexts are welcome.
Long papers should present original reports of substantive new
research
techniques, findings, and applications of UMAP. They should place
the work
within the field and clearly indicate its innovative aspects.
Research
procedures and technical methods should be presented in sufficient
detail to
ensure scrutiny and reproducibility. Results should be clearly
communicated
and implications of the contributions/findings for UMAP and beyond
should be
explicitly discussed.
Short papers should present original and highly promising research
or
applications. Merit will be assessed in terms of originality and
importance
rather than maturity, extensive technical validation, and user
studies.
Separation of long and short papers will be strictly enforced so
papers will
not compete across categories, but only within each category.
Papers that
receive high scores and are considered promising by reviewers, but
didn't
make the acceptance cut may be revised and resubmitted as posters.
Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIG Standard (SIGCONF)
proceedings
template:
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.
All accepted papers will be published by ACM and will be available
via the
ACM Digital Library. To be included in the Proceedings, at least
one author
of each accepted paper must register for the conference and
present the
paper there. Student registration fee is allowed to students who
present a
student paper.
