Workshop Organizers:
====================

Peter Brusilovsky (University of Pittsburgh, USA)
Leandro Balby Marinho (Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil)

Objectives & Topics:
====================
For the Social Personalization & Search workshop, we invite to
participate researchers working in the fields of Information
Retrieval, Personalization, User Modeling, and Recommender Systems
where the social dimension plays a fundamental role. The workshop is
examining several approaches that leverage the social side of the
search process on two main contexts: (a) using social data for
improving search and recommendations, and (b) search as a social
process, collaborative IR. On the first context, we expect to attract
contributions that use the social dimension in different methods for
personalization and search, such as data from online social networks,
social tagging systems, online forums and community-based Q&A. This
topic is important because it involves leveraging new sources of
information that are specific to social systems such as shared items
and tags, user public profiles, online and offline social connections,
and logs of user social activities in order to improve people's
information access in a wide variety of tasks and devices. On the
second context, the social dimension is emphasized as collaboration,
so we aim to discuss works that consider information seeking as a
collaborative activity. Here, researches can potentially use explicit
social communication information (such as online, offline chat) to
boost the personalized search experience for each user, or in a
community-wise sense, support the common goal of users working on the
same search tasks, such as people planning a group trip.

We invite submissions that may include the following topics, but are
not limited to:
* search and recommendations based on social links
* search and recommendations in collaborative tagging systems
* group-level search personalization
* search and recommendations in blogs and microblogs
* approaches for social personalization in recommender systems
* approaches on personalized social collaboration
* approaches on social linking
* methods for social search and navigation
* methods for social predictive models
* social methods for information visualization and display
* applications of the aforementioned topics to diverse domains
* any other methods that exploit new forms of social data for search
and personalization
* applications of any of the above methods and technologies

Goal:
=====
The goal of this workshop is to share and discuss research that goes
hopefully beyond classic personalization techniques, trying to
capitalize potentially useful information available in social data for
paving the way to more efficient personalized information access
technologies. In addition to personalization, we also consider social
search and navigation as topics that involve the importance of the
social dimension on filtering and information access.

Submissions:
============
We solicit regular research papers (up to 6 pages) & short papers (up
to 2 pages), both in the ACM conference paper style. Papers should be
submitted in EasyChair to
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sps2015

Submission guidelines:
======================
All submitted papers must be written in English;
* contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses;
* be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) with a
font size no smaller than 9pt;
* be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform),
and formatted for US Letter size;

All papers will be peer-reviewed, must not be under review in any
other conference, workshop or journal (at the time of submission), and
must contain novel contributions. Accepted papers will be published
according to the ACM SIGIR 2015 WS publication rules.

Location:
=========
