========================================================
We are pleased to invite you once again to participate in this
premier annual event on research and applications of recommender
technologies.
The 2nd ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems, builds
on the success of the Recommenders06 School in Bilbao, Spain; and the
1st International Conference in Minneapolis, USA. In these events
many members of the practitioner and research communities valued the
rich sharing of ideas made possible by the shared plenary sessions.
The 2nd International conference will combine the same close
interaction among practitioners and researchers with a fully refereed
published collection of papers. The proceedings, which are available
both as a bound volume and via the ACM Digital Library, are expected
to be widely read and cited.
In addition to a regular technical program, there will be tutorials
covering the state-of-the-art of this domain, an industrial program
comprising of panel discussions and a practice/industry-paper track.
We also expect to have one keynote speaker who will address the major
applications of recommendation technologies in industry.
Also, the RecSys08 Doctoral Symposium provides an opportunity for
doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in
an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of
distinguished research faculty. We invite students who feel they
would benefit from this kind of feedback on their dissertation work
to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work withstudents
in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field.
