---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACM UMAP 2020, the premier international conference for researchers and 
practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to 
groups of users, and which collect, represent, and model user 
information, is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in 
conjunction with the conference. The workshops provide a venue to 
discuss and explore emerging areas of User Modelling and Adaptive 
Hypermedia research with a group of like-minded researchers and 
practitioners from industry and academia.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Workshop Format*
In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program 
comprising different workshop formats, combining newly emerging, 
currently evolving and established research topics. Different full-day 
and half-day workshop schemas are possible, such as:

     Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; 
participants may be asked to submit a white paper or position statement
     Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper 
submission and review processes
     Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with 
individual or team participation
     Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the UMAP 
general research topics
     Joint panels for different workshops


*Instructions for Proposers*
Workshop proposals should not exceed 5 pages and should be organized as 
follows:

     Workshop title and acronym
     Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address, homepage, 
and experiences in organizing such events
     Abstract (up to 300 words) and topics of interest
     Motivation on why the workshop is of particular interest at this time
     Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper 
presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussions
     Intended audience and expected number of participants
     List of (potential) members of the program committee (at least 50% 
have to be confirmed at the time of the proposal)
     Requested duration (half day or full day)
     When available, past editions of the workshop, including URLs, a 
brief statement on the development of the workshop series, e.g., in 
terms of topics, number of paper submissions and participants, 
post-workshop publications over the years and acceptance statistics


*Submission and Review Process*
Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair 
submission site:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020

We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit 
workshop proposals.

Researchers interested in submitting a workshop proposal are invited to 
contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful proposals. In 
particular, for workshop proposals with novel interactive formats, we 
are happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas.
We strongly suggest involving organizers from different institutions, 
bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome 
workshops with a creative structure that may attract various types of 
contributions and may ensure rich interactions.
The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web site 
containing the call for papers and detailed information about the 
workshop organization and timeline. They will be responsible for their 
own publicity and reviewing processes.
There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where 
all the workshop papers will be published. Hence, the workshop 
organizers will need to adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication 
timeline.
