Big Island of Hawaii, June 20-24, 2010

---------------------------------
Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals
---------------------------------
UMAP is the premier international conference for researchers and
practitioners working on systems that adapt to their individual users, or to
groups of users, and collect and represent information about users for this
purpose. UMAP is the successor to the biannual User Modeling and Adaptive
Hypermedia conferences that were merged in 2009. It is organized under the
auspices of User Modeling Inc.
---------------------------------
Workshop Proposals (due Nov. 23, 2009)
---------------------------------
A workshop provides an opportunity to meet researchers with similar
interests, discuss common issues in a focused way and suggest directions for
future research. Preference will be given to workshops that aim to produce
answers to one or more explicitly formulated questions and that involve
interactive presentations and constructive work, as opposed to
"miniconferences" that comprise mainly paper presentations.
Workshop proposals (3 pages) should contain:
1. A cover page including:
- Workshop title
- Name, affiliation, postal address, and e-mail address for each
organizer
- Identification of the primary contact person(s)
2. Area: Describe the overall topic of the workshop and why it is
interesting for UMAP participants.
3. Goals: Identify the specific questions the workshop will focus on.
4. Format: Give a description of the proposed workshop format, specifying
the mix of events such as position statements, invited talks, panels, demos,
and general discussion. Indicate the intended duration (a half day or a full
day). Provide a preliminary schedule with estimated times. Design your
schedule for a length of 6 hours (full-day workshop) with a lunch break and
two coffee breaks.
5. Participants: State your estimate of the number of participants and how
you want to attract them. Also indicate how you plan to select participants
and contributions to the workshop. Describe the relevant criteria and/or
review process that will be used to select position papers.
6. Organizers: Give short descriptions of each organizerÕs relevant
expertise and experience.
