BACKGROUND

UMAP is the premier international conference for researchers and
practitioners working on systems that adapt to their individual users,
or to groups of users, and collect and represent information about
users for this purpose. UMAP is the successor to the biannual User
Modeling and Adaptive Hypermedia conferences that were merged in 2009.
It is organized under the auspices of User Modeling Inc. in
cooperation with ACM SIGIR, SIGCHI and SIGART. Support for the
conference is provided by the National Science Foundation, Microsoft,
the Chen Family Foundation, Springer Verlag, and the University of
Hawaii at Manoa.

More details regarding suitable topics for demonstrations and posters
can be found on the conference website at
http://www.hawaii.edu/UMAP2010/.


SUBMISSION CATEGORIES AND FORMAT

DEMONSTRATIONS

Demonstrations will showcase research prototypes of UMAP-based systems
at the conference. Descriptions of demonstrations (max. 3 pages in
Springer LNCS format) must be original and unpublished accounts of
such systems. Submissions should include a specification of the
technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2010, and
must be accompanied by a draft poster of a single slide of about
24"x36" (ISO A1) or alternatively up to 9 ISO A4 slides.

Early submission of descriptions and draft posters: April 13, 2010 (*)
Early notification of acceptance: May 11, 2010

Camera-ready versions of accepted descriptions: June 11, 2010

POSTERS

Descriptions of posters (max. 3 pages in Springer LNCS format) must be
original and unpublished accounts of late-breaking results, innovative
work in progress, or research that is best communicated in an
interactive or graphical format. They should report at least
preliminary results. Submissions must be accompanied by a draft poster
of a single slide of about 24"x36" (ISO A1) or alternatively up to 9
ISO A4 slides. We encourage single-slide submissions. Criteria for
judging posters include content and design. This category is ideal for
submission of results obtained after your submissions of long and
short papers.

feedback about their work from a wide audience during the conference.
