*LAST CALL FOR PAPERS - PATCH 2020*
The 11th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage
(PATCH 2020) on July 17th, 2020, co-located with ACM UMAP 2020 in Genova,
Italy.

https://patch2020.di.unito.it/

*Covid-19 Important update*
PATCH 2020 is scheduled to be held as planned (July 17), but we will
continue to monitor the evolving situation related to the coronavirus
disease outbreak and potential impact on global travel. UMAP 2020 follows
the guidelines provided by the World Health Organisation, local public
health authorities,  individual governments, and the Italian Government.
Decisions will be based on that. We wish to reassure that should a physical
conference be unsafe or should people have travel limitations from
Governments, the remote presentations/recordings will be possible. The
accepted papers of PATCH 2020 will be published as part of the UMAP 2020
Adjunct Proceedings and will be available as planned in the ACM Digital
Library.

*Abstract and Topics*
Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2020 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
cultural heritage collections and in CH sites
- Ambient Cultural Heritage
- Personalization for group of visitors to CH sites
- Personalization for collective CH information authoring and management
- Creativity and collaboration support in CH
- Personalized mobile museum guides & personal museum assistants
- Recommendation strategies for CH
- Adaptation strategies for text and non-verbal content in CH
- NLG techniques and conversational agents for CH
- Integration of virtual and physical collections
- Analysis of behavior patterns to improve CH recommendation
- Personalization across the whole of a person's digital ecosystem
- Long term personalization.
- IoT and Cultural Heritage
- Robots in museums
- 3D, Virtual and Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage
- Context-aware information presentation in CH
- Interactive user interfaces for CH applications
- Gestural interfaces for Cultural Heritage applications
- Use of personality for guiding Cultural Heritage Experiences
- Participatory CH including multiple viewpoints and perspectives
- Community mapping for CH information sharing

*Motivation*
Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a privileged area for
personalization research, as highlighted by the many H2020 calls on this
topic. Visitors come to cultural heritage 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. As discussed by Falk (2009),
visitors to CH sites differ and their visit experience involves a
combination of the physical, the personal, and the socio-cultural context
and identity-related aspects. Hence, they may benefit from individualized
support that takes into account contextual and personal attributes.
However, personalization brings 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 along 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
urban environments, which reflect the varied history of mankind and offer
places and objects representing shared values for the population, to be
preserved and valued.

*Submissions*
Page limits: Long papers 6 pages excluding references; Short papers 4 pages
excluding references; Position papers and Demo papers 2 pages excluding
references.
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) proceedings
template: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

All papers should be submitted in PDF format via the online submission
system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=patch2020.

An international panel of experts will review all submissions.
Demos need to provide links to the systems to be presented. Work that has
already been published should not be submitted unless it introduces a
significant addition to the previously published work.

*Important dates:*
*April 16, 2020: Submission deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time) - Deadline
extended*
April 30, 2020: Notification deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time)
May 6, 2020: Camera-Ready deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time)
