Background
Mobile and pervasive computing technologies have become an integral part of
everyday life and have changed the way people interact with information. The
rapidly growing amount of information and services raises the need for user
modeling and personalization in pervasive and ubiquitous environments.
Unique challenges include (1) inferring relevant information about a user
from sensors, (2) aggregating and integrating such information effectively
into long-term user models, while achieving user model interoperability, and
(3) providing pervasive and ubiquitous information access in a personalized
manner. The objective of this workshop is to bring together active
researchers and practitioners working on user modeling and personalization
in pervasive and ubiquitous environments and to produce vision statements
about the future of these fields.
Workshop Topics
The workshop addresses the following four focus questions:
1. What pervasive or situational information is most useful for user
modeling and personalization, how can such information be extracted from
sensors, and how can the information be represented and effectively used in
user models?
2. How can we aggregate and integrate user modeling data from various
sources, resolve conflicts, and abstract from and reason about the data?
3. How can we overcome syntactic and semantic heterogeneity of
distributed user models in order to achieve user model interoperability?
4. What unique challenges and opportunities exist in pervasive ubiquitous
environments that are not present in conventional online personalization
domains, and how can these challenges be addressed?
Submissions
Submissions to the workshop should address one or more of the focus
questions. Submissions should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS
format. The maximum length of submissions is 8 pages. Submissions should be
sent by email to pump.umap.2010 [at] gmail.com
