Call for Papers:

As the variety and complexity of interactive systems increases, understanding how a system can dynamically capture relevant user needs and traits, and can automatically adapt its interaction to this information, has become critical for devising effective advanced services and interfaces. The International User Modelling Conference represents the central forum for presenting the advances in research on and development of personalized, user-adaptive systems. In the last 25 years, the field of User Modeling has produced significant new theories and methods to analyze and model computer users in short and long-term interactions. Moreover, methods for personalizing human-computer interaction based on user models have been successfully applied and evaluated in a number of domains, such as information filtering, e-commerce, dialogue based interfaces and adaptive educational systems. New User Modeling topics are emerging, including adaptation to user attitudes and affective states, adapting to better accommodate people with disabilities or special interaction needs/circumstances (e.g., text-based only access), personalized interaction in mobile, ubiquitous and context-aware computing and in user interactions with embodied autonomous agents. User Modeling is a highly interdisciplinary field which has drawn from work in several traditional disciplines including Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction, Databases, Cognitive Psychology, Linguistics, and Education. In addition the field enjoys emerging ties with Customer Relationship Management and technologies for communication on the Web, such as Web Services and the Semantic Web. This conference aims to provide a stimulating occasion for researchers from all these different areas to come together, share their current work, and discuss future avenues of development for the field.
