Call for Papers - ACM UMAP 2021
29th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
Theme: "Re-Evaluating Evaluation in Personalization Research"
Hybrid: Utrecht (The Netherlands) and Online
June 21-25th (tentative), 2021
Website: https://www.um.org/umap2021/
============================
Abstracts due: January 17, 2021 (mandatory)
Full paper due: January 24, 2021
============================
BACKGROUND AND SCOPE:
============================
ACM UMAP – User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization – is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB, and organized with User Modeling Inc. as the core Steering Committee, extended with past years’ chairs. The proceedings are published by ACM and will be part of the ACM Digital Library.
ACM UMAP covers a wide variety of research areas where personalization and adaptation may be applied. This includes a number of domains in which researchers are engendering significant innovations based on advances in user modeling and adaptation, recommender systems, adaptive educational systems, intelligent user interfaces, e-commerce, advertising, digital humanities, social networks, personalized health, entertainment, and many more.
We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization and adaptation; the conference web site provides a detailed list. Below we present a short (but not proscriptive) list of topics of importance to the conference. As the theme for UMAP 2021 is “Re-Evaluating Evaluation” we encourage submissions in all areas that offer a critical analysis of evaluations of personalized systems. We particularly want to acknowledge that some of the research might be influenced by Covid-19 related constraints (e.g., difficulty of running lab studies), and welcome submissions which introduce novel methodologies arising from a need to conduct research in new ways.
CONFERENCE TOPICS:
============================
We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization and adaptation in any area. The topics listed below are not intended to limit possible contributions.
Final decisions will be made on the basis of suitability for, and fit to, the overall conference (not for specific tracks). Additionally, there is no quota for the maximal number of accepted papers per track. Topics include (but are not limited to):
• Personalized Recommender Systems
• Track chairs: Alejandro Bellogin, Sole Pera, Ludovico Boratto
• Adaptive Hypermedia and the Semantic Web
• Track chairs: Maria Bielikova, Panagiotis Germanakos, Ben Steichen
• Intelligent User Interfaces
• Track chairs: Katrien Verbert, Dennis Parra
• Personalized Social Web
• Track chairs: Julita Vassileva, Jie Zhang
• Technology-Enhanced Adaptive Learning
• Track chairs: Ella Haig, Manolis Mavrikis
• Fairness, Transparency, Accountability, and Privacy
• Track chairs: Christine Bauer, Michael Ekstrand
• Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems
• Track chairs: Jaap Ham, Rita Orji
SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
============================
Papers will be submitted through EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021
Long (8 pages + references) and Short (4 pages + references) papers in ACM style. Original research papers addressing the theory and/or practice of UMAP, and papers showcasing innovative use of UMAP and exploring the benefits and challenges of applying UMAP technology in real-life applications and contexts are welcome.
* Long papers should present original reports of substantive new research techniques, findings, and applications of UMAP. They should place the work within the field and clearly indicate its innovative aspects. Research procedures and technical methods should be presented in sufficient detail to ensure scrutiny and reproducibility. Results should be clearly communicated and implications of the contributions/findings for UMAP and beyond should be explicitly discussed.
* Short papers should present original and highly promising research or applications. Merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance rather than maturity, extensive technical validation, and user studies. Separation of long and short papers will be strictly enforced so papers will not compete across categories, but only within each category.
Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIG Standard (SIGCONF) proceedings template: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.
UMAP uses a double blind review process. Authors must omit their names and affiliations from submissions, and avoid obvious identifying statements. For instance, citations to the authors' own prior work should be made in the third-person.
All accepted papers will be published by ACM and will be available via the ACM Digital Library. To be included in the Proceedings, at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there. Student registration fee is allowed for students who present a student paper.

Carissim*
come già anticipato qualche giorno fa, il 12 novembre dalle ore 9,30 alle 13 ci sarà il online il primo WUD del SIGHitaly. L’evento è gratuito e ci si può registrare sul sito: http://wud-sigchitaly.di.unito.it/ <http://wud-sigchitaly.di.unito.it/>.
Il WUD (World Usability Day), la giornata mondiale sull’usabilità promossa su scala globale dalla User Experience Professional Association (UXPA), si tiene ogni anno il secondo giovedì di Novembre per "disseminare" l'importanza del lato "umano" nella tecnologia.
Ogni anno c'è un tema diverso e il tema di quest’anno è Human-Centered AI (https://worldusabilityday.org/ <https://worldusabilityday.org/>).
La giornata si aprirà con un intervento dell’assessore torinese all'innovazione Marco Pironti, a cui seguirà l’invited talk di apertura di Olivero Stock di FBK. Chiuderà la giornata l’intervento di Francesca Costabile su Teaching HCI for AI, e la mattinata è ricca di brevi, ma interessanti interventi sul tema della Human-Centered AI,di cui trovate il dettaglio sul sito.
Ci fa ovviamente piacere la vostra partecipazione e potete anche diffondere l’invito ai vostri studenti interessati.
Segnaliamo infine che nel pomeriggio del 12 novembre e anche nelle giornate del 10, 11 e 13 novembre potete seguire online i WUD days organizzati dalla Società Italiana di Ergonomia, trovate maggiori informazioni sul sito: http://www.wudtorino.org/ <http://www.wudtorino.org/>
Buona giornata
Cristina, con Maristella e Massimo

Care tutte e cari tutti,
Tra poche settimane, scade il mandato della nostra attuale chair Maristella
Matera.
Come sapete, è tradizione del nostro chapter incoraggiare che la posizione
di chair venga riproposta per un secondo mandato e quindi, in qualità di
vice-chair vorrei incoraggiare Maristella a candidarsi per un secondo
mandato.
In ogni caso, la candidatura è aperta a tutti i soci e le socie iscritti ad
ACM e al SIG CHI Chapter (oltre ovviamente alla nostra associazione).
Vi chiederei quindi di mandare a me (facendo reply a questa email) le
eventuali candidature con un breve profilo e motivazione.
La raccolta delle candidature si chiuderà Mercoledì 21 Ottobre e
contestualmente verranno aperte le votazioni fino a Venerdì 30 Ottobre. La
procedura di spoglio verrà fatta dal me e dalla secretary/treasurer Franca
Garzotto.
Vi ricordo che per regolamento, per votare è necessario essere membri ACM
oppure SIG CHI e registrati al sito web http://sigchitaly.eu/en/members/
come Voting Members (nel caso scrivete a me per aggiornare la lista).
Saluti,
-M.
