PATCH 2019 - CALL FOR PAPERS

The 10th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural
Heritage (PATCH 2019),
co-located with ACM UMAP 2019, 9-12th June 2019 at Larnaca, Cyprus

http://patch2019.di.unito.it/


Abstract and Topics

Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2019 will be
again the meeting point
between state of the art cultural heritage (CH) research and
personalization research.
For those using any kind of technology, while focusing on ubiquitous
and adaptive scenarios,
to enhance the personal experience in CH sites.
The workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and
practitioners who are working
on various aspects of CH and are interested in exploring the potential of
state of the art of mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well
as online)
to enhance the CH visit experience.
The expected result of the workshop is a multidisciplinary research
agenda that will
inform future research directions and hopefully, forge some research
collaborations.

Topics (of interest) include, but are not limited to:
* Adaptive navigation  and personalized browsing in digital and
physical CH collections
* Recommendation strategies for CH
* Adaptation strategies for text and non-verbal content in CH
* NLG techniques for mobile user modeling in CH sites
* Integration of virtual and physical collections
* Ambient CH
* Mobile museum guides & personal museum assistants
* Context-aware information presentation in CH
* Interactive user interfaces for CH applications
* Personalization for group of visitors to CH sites
* Personalization for collective CH information authoring and management
* Creativity and collaboration support in CH
* Session-based recommendation for short-term CH personalization
* IoT and CHe
* The cloud and CH
* Living labs in museums
* Robots in museums
* Augmented Reality for CH
* Gestural interfaces for CHapplications
* 3D and virtual reality for CH
* Community mapping for CH information sharing
* Analysis of behaviour patterns to improve CH recommendation
* Conversational agents for CH
* Accessible personalized CH

Motivation
CH has traditionally been a privileged area for personalization
research. Visitors come to
CH sites willing to experience and learn new things, usually without a
clear idea of what to expect.
CH sites are typically rich in objects and information; much more than
the visitor can absorb
during the limited time of a visit. There are two main challenges:
Firstly, can we support CH exploration for first-time and anonymous
visitors, taking into account
that many people access cultural sites only once, or they interact
with digital services anonymously?
Secondly, when it is possible to track users over time, can we provide
an engaging experience
for the ‘digital’, ‘mobile’ and ‘traditional’ CH visitors before,
during and after a visit
by exploiting information from previous interactions on CH sites and
elsewhere on the ubiquitous Web.
Further, an interesting problem to explore is whether this kind of
support can be a basis
for maintaining a lifelong chain of personalized CH experiences. This
is true, not only
in “traditional” CH sites, but also in cities, which reflect the
varied history of mankind
and are rich of places and objects representing shared values for the
population,
to be preserved and valorized. Actually modern urban planning shows an
avalanche of varying
initiatives focused on creative urban development. Consequently, it
has become fashionable
to regard cultural expressions like arts, festivals, exhibitions,
media, design, digital expression
and research as signposts for urban individuality and identity and
departures for a
new urban cultural industry.
Specifically regarding the first challenge, a lot of information about
general user behavior
can be acquired by mining previous visitors’ interactions and this can
help the development
of session-based personalization techniques which can be applied to
first-time visitors.

Submissions

Papers that exceed the page limits or formatting guidelines will be
returned without review.

Submissions should be single blinded, i.e. authors names should be
included in the submissions.

Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIG Standard (SIGCONF)
