[Hcitaly] ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Tutorial Proposals

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * Online version: https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-tutorial/ ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Tutorial Proposals ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy July 1-4, 2024 The 32nd International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2024) is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP 2024 is pleased to invite proposals for tutorials to be given in conjunction with the conference. Tutorials are expected to be instructional sessions aimed to provide a comprehensive introduction to established or emerging research topics of interest for the UMAP community. An ideal tutorial should be broad enough to provide a basic introduction to the chosen area, but it should also cover the most important topics in depth. Tutorials are encouraged to be as dynamic and interactive as possible. Example topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * User modeling in the era of generative artificial intelligence. * Responsible user modeling and personalization. * Effective evaluation of personalized applications. * Strategies to let users be in control of the personalization process. Tutorial presenters can have 4 pages + 1 for references in the adjunct proceedings. ** Important Dates ** · Tutorial Proposal Submission: January 11, 2024 · Notification: February 1, 2024 · Tutorial Description & Website URL Submission: February 24, 2024 · Tutorial Summary Camera-ready Submission (TAPS system): May 16, 2024 Note: The submission deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth)<https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe> time. ** Submission ** All tutorial proposals must be written in English. Proposals should be submitted electronically, in a PDF format, through the EasyChair submission system, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap24, by selecting the “UMAP24 Workshop and Tutorial Proposals” track. ** Length and Formatting ** *Format*. Each proposal should be arranged into a single PDF document, not exceeding 5 pages (references included). *Template*. Following the ACM Publication Workflow<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>ow>, the proposal should be arranged based on the new ACM single-column format. Instructions for the organizers are given below: * LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript, review, anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with LaTeX<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/prepari…ex>. * Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Overleaf<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/over…af>. * Word. Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Microsoft Word<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparin…rd>. Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com<mailto:acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com> for LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries. *Structure*. The proposal should include the following information: * Title and abstract of the tutorial (200 words maximum). * Tutorial description: · Learning objectives of the tutorial and relevance to ACM UMAP 2024. · Targeted audience (introductory, intermediate, advanced) and prerequisite knowledge or skills. · Brief outline of the tutorial structure. · Brief description of the practical sessions. * Tutorial length (ideally 1 hour and a half). * Other venues to which the tutorial or part thereof has been or will be presented, in addition to explaining how the current tutorial differs from the other editions, and from other tutorials on the same or similar topics (please specify conference name and year). * Name, email address, affiliation and brief professional biography of each tutorial organizer, indicating previous training and speaking experience. *Evaluation Criteria*. All proposals will be reviewed by the ACM UMAP 2024 Tutorial Chairs. The features that will be evaluated are: * ability of the tutorial to contribute to strengthening the foundations of UMAP research. * clarity of the tutorial, which should emerge from its description. * good organization, as appearing from the outline. * the value of any materials released with the tutorial for the community. * background/experience of tutorial instructor(s) in teaching the target topics. ** Instructions ** *Support*. We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit tutorial proposals. Researchers interested in submitting a tutorial proposal are invited to contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful proposals. In particular, for tutorial proposals with novel interactive formats, we are happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas. *Diversity*. We strongly suggest involving organizers from different institutions, bringing their different perspectives to the tutorial topic. We welcome tutorials with a creative structure that may attract various types of participants and may ensure rich interactions. *Expectations*. The organizers of accepted tutorials are expected to set up a webpage for the tutorial including detailed information about the tutorial organization and timeline, and disseminate a call for participation. They will be responsible for their own publicity. *Proceedings*. There will be conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM, and available via the ACM Digital Library. A camera-ready summary of the tutorial should be written by the organizers to be included in these adjunct proceedings. *Camera-ready Information*. Accepted summaries will require a further revision in order to meet the requirements and the page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the summaries will be provided after acceptance. We strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX/Overleaf for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting. Users of the Word template must use either the version for Microsoft Word for Windows, Macintosh Office 2011, or Macintosh Office 2016 (other formats such as Open Office, etc., are not admitted) for the camera-ready submission to avoid incompatibility issues. ** Registration and Presentation Policy ** Each accepted tutorial summary must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the early registration date cut-off. Each tutorial has to be run by all organizers. Therefore, each tutorial organizer must be registered (at least 25% in person, the remaining online). Each accepted tutorial summary will be included in the conference adjunct proceedings. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. ** Tutorial Chairs ** * Amra Delic, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina * Eelco Herder, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands * Noemi Mauro, University of Turin, Italy Contact information: umap2024-wt at um.org
