                              UM 2001

         8th International Conference on User Modeling

                      July 13 to July 17, 2001
 AlpenCongressCentrum in Sonthofen, Bavaria, Germany

                      www.dfki.de/um2001



The field of user  modeling  (UM)  has  resulted  in  significant
amounts  of theoretical work, as well as practical experience, in
developing UM-based applications in traditional areas  of  human-
computer  interaction  and tutoring systems. Further, it promises
to have an enormous impact on recent developments in  areas  like
information    filtering,   e-commerce,   adaptive   presentation
techniques, and interface agents.

This year's conference will include

- a  series  of  7  workshops  with  topics   ranging  from  basic
   research areas like machine learning to established applications
   like  adaptive   hypermedia  and  more  futuristic  issues  like
   personalized TV;
- 3 tutorials from acknowledged  researchers on  intelligent  user
   interfaces,  Web-based  education  systems, and  personalization
   in e-commerce;
- a panel with  representatives from industry  discussing  various
   aspects  of personalization in "real-world" applications;
- 3 invited talks with well-known researchers (and  practitioners)
   presenting  their  point  of  view  on  privacy  (Alfred  Kobsa),
   recommender  systems   (Joseph  A. Konstan),  and  eye  tracking
   (Sandra Marshall);
- two  and  a  half  days  of technical presentations with papers,
   posters,  system  demonstrations, and  a doctoral  consortium in
   which   students  can   discuss  their  ideas  with  experienced
   researchers in the field.
