============================ CALL FOR PAPERS ============================
The Future of Personal Data: envisioning new personalized services enabled by Quantified Self technologies (FuturePD) – International Workshop @ ACM UMAP ‘16 – Halifax, Canada 13 -17 July, 2016
This one-day workshop will take place at ACM UMAP 2016 and wants to bring together professionals, researchers, practitioners and anyone else interested in the domain of personal data. The workshop will combine a brief presentation session and a longer design session, where participants will create future scenarios and fictional prototypes to reflect on QS personalized technologies.
Workshop Website: https://futurepd.wordpress.com/
IMPORTANT DATES 7 May 2016: Workshop papers submission 1 June 2016: Notification of acceptance 7 June 2016: Camera-ready version due
Please submit to: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=futurepd2016
MOTIVATION Quantified Self (QS) aims to use technology to collect personal data on different aspects of people’s daily lives. QS tools are more and more allowing people to self-track a variety of information related to their behaviors (sleep, food), activities (walking, run), psychological states (mood, stress), physiological parameters (heart rate, blood sugar level), locations, etc. As the current availability on the market of wearables and mobile applications for self-tracking is making it plausible that QS technologies will become pervasive in the near future, we have to start to explore how to employ personal data effectively for a broad user base and to enable new complex forms of personalization and user modeling.
In this workshop we want to explore a variety of challenges and explore different opportunities:
i) how can we model users’ habits and everyday activities through user modeling techniques based on “real-world” user’s data (related to e.g. user’s cognition, behavior, habits, physiology)? ii) how can we convey new forms of recommendations and personalized feedback, goals, plans based on these data? iii) which kind of personalized services and applications can be improved by this renewed availability of personal data in different domains? iv) how can we define new personalized ways to present the data collected, in order to make them simple to understand and improve the meaningfulness of the interfaces and visualizations provided? v) how can we face ethical and theoretical issues, e.g. to the user’s privacy and the possibility of storing all her experiences?
TOPICS Relevant workshop topics include but are not limited to:
i) New techniques for collecting data and engaging people in tracking them; ii) Reflections on how “real-world” personal data could enable new complex forms of personalization; iii) New ways to model users on the basis of real-world data; iv) Wearables’ data for personalization and user modeling; v) New services and applications for making personal data actionable, in order e.g. to trigger behavior change processes, provide health personalized services, enrich the recollection of memories, and support processes of learning; vi) New personalized interaction modalities and visualizations to manipulate personal information; vii) New techniques for interconnect, analyze and model personal data viii) Theoretical reflections and thought-provoking insights about the future of personalization and modeling of human real-life behavior and how they could change our lives; ix) Ethical issues related to the future pervasiveness of QS technologies and availability of personal data.
SUBMISSION All workshop papers must be 2-8 pages long in the 2015-2016 ACM SIG Proceedings template and submitted via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=futurepd2016
The deadline for submission is May 7, 2016.
Papers should be in pdf format and should not be anonymized.
We will accept both position papers and research papers, case studies, future research challenges and reflections. Papers will be reviewed by the program committee based on their pertinence with the workshop topics, quality of the exposition and, mainly, potential to trigger discussions and insights for inspiring the design of new solutions during the workshop.
All the accepted manuscripts will be included in the UMAP supplemental proceedings published with CEUR.
Best papers will be considered to submit an improved version to a special issue on an International Journal.
