# ** Call for LBR and Demos: 30th ACM Conference on User Modeling,
Adaptation and Personalization (UMAP ’22)**
http://www.um.org/umap2022/
(*) Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are planning for a hybrid
conference and will accommodate online presentations where needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
***Important Dates***
============================
- Submission of demos and LBR papers: April 15, 2022
- Notification of acceptance: May 10, 2022
- Camera-ready versions of accepted papers: May 18, 2022
- Conference: July 4-7, 2022

--------------------------------------------------------
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 the ACM and will be part of the ACM
Digital Library.
ACM UMAP 2022 invites Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Results (LBR)
papers of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes).
You are encouraged to submit your Demo or LBR by April 15th, 2022.
--------------------------------------------------------
***Submission formats***
============================
For more details, see below!
*# Demonstrations*
- Max. 5 pages + max. 1 additional page for references
- (Required) unpublished page describing how they would present the demo
virtually and/or in person
- (Optional) video or external material demonstrating the system
- Publication in ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings
- Presentation as a (potentially virtual) demo + poster at the conference
*# Late-Breaking Results*

**Submission via** : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22
***Demonstrations***
============================
Demonstrations will showcase research prototypes and commercially
available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be
based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more
innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference.
Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase
implementations and to get valuable feedback from the community. Each
demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be
demonstrated, and how these will be demonstrated on-site as well as online.
To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors to
submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or YouTube) or
any external material related to the demo (e.g., shared code on GitHub).
Descriptions of demonstrations should have a length of max. 3 pages + 1
page of references in the new ACM single-column style. On an extra page
(not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the
technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2022. Given
uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, this extra page should
also describe if/how the demo can be presented in a virtual setting
(e.g. with a video or a live link to the system).
***Late-Breaking Results***
============================
Late-Breaking Results (LBR) are research-in-progress that must contain
original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas,
preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes,
addressing both the theory and practice of User Modeling, Adaptation and
Personalization. In addition, papers introducing recently started
research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit a late-breaking
work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas,
eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions
and collaborations among colleagues.
Late-Breaking Results papers have a length of up to 7 pages + 2 pages of
references in the new ACM single-column style and will be presented to
the conference as (in-person and virtual) posters. On an extra page (not
to be published), submissions should include a list of questions that
the authors aim to get feedback on during the poster session at UMAP 2022.
--------------------------------------------------------
***Submission and Review Process***
============================
Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized
before submission.
Papers (demo and LBR) must be formatted according to the new workflow
for ACM publications. The templates and instructions are available here:
https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow.
Authors should submit their papers as single-column. The templates are
available here (we strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX for the
camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting):
- LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} in the
sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column):
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t…
- Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for
single-column):
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-master-…
- MS Word:
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submissio…
Note: Accepted papers will require a further revision to meet the
requirements and page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM.
Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the
papers will be provided after acceptance.
The ACM Code of Ethics gives the UMAP program committee the right to
(desk-)reject papers that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, employ
unethical research practices, or uncritically present
outcomes/implications that clearly disadvantage minority communities.
Submit your papers in PDF format via EasyChair for ACM UMAP 2022 Demos
and Late-Breaking Results at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 (choose *New Submission*
and make sure to select *UMAP 2022 Demo and LBR* track).
The review process will be single-blind, i.e. authors' names should be
included in the papers. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two
independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on their originality
and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential
impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented
experiences, as well as their overall readability.
Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the formatting
guidelines will be returned without review.
--------------------------------------------------------
***Publication and Presentation***
============================
Accepted Demo and Late-Breaking Results papers will be published in the
ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Papers
will be accessible from the UMAP '22 website through ACM OpenToc Service
for one year after publication in the ACM Digital Library. All
categories will be presented at the poster reception of the conference,
in the form of a poster and/or a software demonstration following poster
format. This form of presentation will provide presenters with an
opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide
audience during the conference. Due to the uncertainties regarding the
COVID-19 pandemic, the poster session may be partially or fully virtual.
**To be included in the Proceedings, at least one author of each
accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper
there.**

International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI) - 30TH ANNIVERSARY
Since 1992, AVI has been a biennial appointment for a vast international community of experts with a broad range of backgrounds. Throughout three decades, the Conference has attracted leading researchers of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from all over the world, offering a forum to present and disseminate new technological results, paradigms, and visions for HCI and user interfaces.
Because of advanced technology and new possibilities for user interaction, AVI has broadened the topics it covers, still keeping its primary focus on the conception, design, implementation, and evaluation of novel visual interfaces.
While rooted in Italy, AVI is an actual international conference concerning the nationality of participants, authors of papers, and program committee members. The mixture of carefully selected research contributions paired with cordial Italian hospitality creates a unique conference atmosphere, which has made AVI an internationally recognized name.

SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
The fast development of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and
Mixed Reality (MR) solutions over the last few years are transforming how
people interact, work, and communicate. The eXtended Reality (XR) term
encloses all those immersive technologies that can shift the boundaries
between digital and physical worlds to realize the Metaverse. According to
tech companies and venture capitalists, the Metaverse will be a
super-platform that convenes sub-platforms: social media, online video
games, and ease-of-life apps, all accessible through the same digital space
and sharing the same digital economy. Inside the Metaverse, virtual worlds
will allow avatars to carry all human endeavors, including creation,
display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the Metaverse will
evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, and each
other things on the Internet. A user could join friends to play a
multiplayer game, watch a movie via a streaming service, and then attend a
university course precisely the same as in the real world.
The Metaverse development will require new software architecture that will
enable decentralized and collaborative virtual worlds. These self-organized
virtual worlds will be permanent and will require maintenance operations.
In addition, it will be necessary to design an efficient data management
system and prevent privacy violations. Finally, the convergence of physical
reality, virtually enhanced, and an always-on virtual space highlighted the
need to rethink the actual paradigms for visualization, interaction, and
sharing of digital information, moving toward more natural, intuitive,
dynamically customizable, multimodal, and multi-user solutions.
