Apologies for cross-postings. Please send the CfP to interested colleagues and students. Many Thanks! -- Doreen Workshop on Personalization in Mobile and Pervasive Computing The workshop will be collocated with the UMAP’09, http:// umap09.fbk.eu/, June 22-26, 2009,Trento, Italy. Objective The objective of the workshop is to bring active researchers and practitioners together and to facilitate discussions on current research results and issues and emerging research topics in supporting personalization in mobile and pervasive computing. The workshop aims to answer the following focused questions by stimulating and involving as many active researchers in this field as possible: - What are the unique issues, difficulties, and potential solutions for personalization in mobile and pervasive computing? - What are the roles of domain knowledge and ontology for the personalization and efficient and effective ways of employing them? - Assuming our surroundings will be filled with smart objects, how does a system address the added complexity of personalization and what are the possible solutions? Topics of Interest Personalization for mobile and pervasive computing faces many challenges in areas of user modeling, adaptation and prediction. The topics of interest include but not limited to the following topics: - Mobile and pervasive intelligent personal assistants - User preference mining in a mobile and pervasive context - User intention prediction - Situation-awareness - Domain knowledge and ontology for mobile user modeling and personalization - Personalized mobile learning - Adaptivity through indoor/outdoor location awareness - Data acquisition and process - Personalized division of computation between the phone and cloud - Personalized power preservation - Mobile and pervasive group personalization - User studies and experiences - Social issues such as privacy Submission Guidelines Full papers should be no more than 5 pages.
