         SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON USER MODELING

          Chia Laguna, Sardinia, Italy, 2-5 June, 1997

          (Early registration deadline: 4 April, 1997)

                http://www.cs.uni-sb.de/UM97/ or
                    http://www.crs4.it/UM97/

-----------------------------------------------------------------

  User modeling has been found to enhance the effectiveness
and/or usability of software systems in a wide variety of
situations. A system that constructs and consults user models can
adapt aspects of its performance to individual users or user
groups.
  UM97 is the latest in a series of International Conferences on
User Modeling.  These conferences provide a forum in which
academic and industrial researchers from various disciplines can
exchange their complementary insights on user modeling issues.
  For UM97, a program has been assembled that offers an
invigorating and instructive experience for everyone interested
in user modeling. The schedule has been designed so as to ensure
a maximum of interactivity, so that the conference experience
offers benefits that go far beyond those of reading the
proceedings. In addition, the timetable will allow many
opportunities for unscheduled smaller-scale discussions, some of
which can be conducted in the inspiring surroundings of the
conference venue.
  Although most aspects of the program have now been filled in,
those who wish to contribute to the program can still submit to a
workshop or register a system demonstration.

               ***** 11. INFORMATION ABOUT HOTEL *****

  The following information is provided by the hotel:
  The Grand Hotel Chia Laguna is a four-star hotel about 40 km
southwest of Cagliari, in a beautiful area near the southernmost
tip of Sardinia. The hotel covers a large area, and it includes
several buildings and bungalows. The private beach is located in
a beautiful laguna, at walking distance, a few minutes away from
the hotel.
  Grand Hotel Chia Laguna offers rooms, suites, and residences.
The total number of beds is 1200.
  There is a main restaurant, the typical sea restaurant at the
swimming pool, and special children's restaurants. Five bars are
located so as to offer maximum comfort to the guests. The
shopping center provides local crafts, boutiques, sporting goods,
a pizzeria, a parfumerie, a herbalist and a coiffeur.
  The Grand Hotel Chia Laguna is surrounded by a great natural
park and the pure sea waters of Sardinia. Sand dunes, junipers
and cliffs give way to great expanses of fine golden sandy
beaches, where the sea is green and crystal-clear. There are four
swimming pools, four tennis courts, two squash courts and a
fitness center with a fully equipped gym and a sauna.  There is a
children's area, a small theater, a games room, a football pitch,
mini-football, mountain bike hire and a nightclub. The beach is
fully equipped with deck chairs and parasols. The Nautical Club
is available to guests for windsurfing courses, water skiing,
scuba-diving with a local tank refilling center and boat
excursions.

                  ***** 12. TRAVEL INFORMATION *****

  The airport nearest the conference hotel is Cagliari Elmas
Airport, which is about 40 km to the northeast.
  There are 8 flights per day each way between Cagliari and Rome,
4 per day between Cagliari and Milan, and additional flights to
and from other Italian cities (Bologna, Florence, Verona, Turin,
Palermo and Catania).
  There will be free shuttle bus service between the airport and
the conference hotel during the following periods:

  * in the morning and the afternoon of Sunday, June 1st;
  * in the late afternoon and the evening of Thursday, June 5th;
  * in the morning of Friday, June 6th.

The exact schedule for the shuttle bus will be adapted as well
as possible to the arrival and departure times of UM97
participants.
  For those who are willing to make part of their voyage by sea,
various ferry services link Sardinia with mainland Italy.
  Further types of travel information, including maps and local
bus schedules, are available via the Web sites. For the planning
of the complete voyage, however, it will probably be necessary to
consult a travel agency.

Each conference participant should fill in a separate form (see
Section 14). Accompanying persons who are not attending the
conference can be listed on the participant's form.
