Call for Papers: ACM RecSys 2011 Workshop on Personalization in Mobile
Applications

http://pema2011.cs.ucl.ac.uk/
http://recsys.acm.org

--- Workshop Description ---
The rise of location-enabled mobile phones and location based services
offers a great opportunity to apply personalization and recommender
system technology to people's everyday lives. A variety of digital
traces can now be used to infer how people move about their city and
extract their context and habits. Personalization and recommender
systems, potentially merged with the data that people store online
(e.g., social networks, web ratings), can then not only be used to
recommend new places and events that they may find interesting to
attend, but, more broadly, personalize and enhance any service that
people find themselves using.

The workshop will host three invited speakers:
. Anthony Tomasic, CMU, "Tiramisu: Transit Service Design and
Implementation via Crowdsourcing"
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tomasic/

. Christine Outram, MIT, "The Copenhagen Wheel"
http://christineoutram.weebly.com/

. Janne Lindqvist, CMU, "Understanding mobile social networks: Why
people do (not) check-in"
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jklindqv/

--- Call for Papers ---
The workshop solicits research papers (8 pages), short position papers
(proposing new directions of research, advocating non-traditional
approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generating controversy and
discussion, max 4 pages in the ACM Proceedings format), and demos (max
2 pages in the ACM Proceedings format). Papers will be reviewed by at
least 3 members of the workshop program committee, and will be
evaluated according to their significance, originality, novelty,
style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. At least one author of
each accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop.

--- Journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing --
Extended versions of the best papers from the workshop will be put
forward for fast track publication in the Pervasive and Mobile
Computing (PMC) journal (subject to the number and quality of received
submissions).

--- Workshop Topics ---
Include, but are not limited to:
  . Innovative applications of recommender systems in mobile settings
  . Location and/or context-based recommender systems
  . Recommending locations, venues, and social events
