SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST

----------------------------

 

The International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and 

Personalization (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

biennial User Modeling and Adaptive Hypermedia conferences that were

merged in 2009. It is organized under the auspices of User Modeling Inc.  

The conference spans a wide scope of topics related to user modeling and 

personalization, including construction of user models, adaptive 

responses, tailoring of search results, recommending products, Web usage 

mining, collaborative and content-based filtering. Please see the more 

detailed listing of conference topics below.

 

As the combination of the two leading conference series in this area, 

UMAP is now the single "place to be" for anyone involved in user modeling, 

adaptation, and personalization. The conference proceedings will be widely 

available in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. 

Moreover, they will be included in the ACM Digital Library. These sources 

will be the first place that people look to find the latest results in 

this area. The Conference will include invited talks from leading 

researchers in the field, research presentations (long papers, short papers,


and posters), industry papers, demos, tutorials, and workshops as well as 

a Doctoral Consortium. Accepted papers are eligible for the Springer Best 

Paper Award. In addition, UMAP provides student support and full papers

with a student as the first author are eligible for the James Chen Award 

for the best student paper.
