ABIS 2013 - 20th International Workshop on Adaptivity and User Modeling Interacting with Adaptive Systems http://abis.l3s.uni-hannover.de/abis-2013-workshop Held at Mensch & Computer 2013 8-11 September 2013 - Bremen, Germany Submission deadline: 23 June 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ABIS 2013 is an international workshop, organized by the German SIG on Adaptivity and User Modeling of the Gesellschaft für Informatik. For the last 19 years, the ABIS Workshop has been a highly interactive forum for discussing the state of the art in personalization and user modeling. Latest developments in industry and research are presented in plenary sessions, forums, and tutorials. Researchers, Ph.D. students and Web professionals obtain and exchange novel ideas, expertise and feedback on ongoing research before submitting their work to major conferences such as CHI, UMAP, WWW and SIGIR. This year's ABIS will be organized as part of Mensch & Computer 2013, the leading event in the area of human-computer interaction in German speaking countries. The ABIS workshop accepts full or short papers, position statements, Ph.D. research papers and demos, between 4 and 8 pages in length. This year, we aim to specifically invite Ph.D. students to submit their research plans and to organize a special mentoring and feedback session at the end of the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Topics include but are not limited to: - Obtaining user data: logging tools, aggregation of data from social networks and other Web 2.0 services, location tracking, sensor networks - Modeling the user data: collaborative filtering, cross-application issues, contextualization and disambiguation, use of ontologies and folksonomies - Personalization and recommendation: applications in social networks, search, online stores, mobile computing, e-learning, automotive domain, assisting elderly or handicapped persons and other applications areas - Privacy issues, transparency, user control and scrutability - Adaptive or intelligent user interfaces: adaptive dialogues, menus or other means of interaction, intelligent agents, feedback mechanisms, interaction with ubiquitous environments, new paradigms in human-computer interactions - Evaluation and user studies: laboratory studies, empirical studies in the field and analysis of existing corpora of usage data ---------------------------------------------------------------- Organization: Mirjam Augstein - Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences, Hagenberg Boris Brandherm - DFKI, Saarbrücken Dominik Heckmann - University of Applied Science Amberg-Weiden Eelco Herder - L3S Research Center, Hannover Wolfgang Woerndl - TU München --------------------------------------------------------------- For news of CHI books, courses & software, join CHI-RESOURCES mailto: [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe from CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS send an email to mailto:[log in to unmask] For further details of CHI lists see http://listserv.acm.org ---------------------------------------------------------------
