---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
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.<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
<b>Workshop Format</b><br>
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:<br>
<br>
Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic;
participants may be asked to submit a white paper or position
statement<br>
Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper
submission and review processes<br>
Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with
individual or team participation<br>
Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the
UMAP general research topics<br>
Joint panels for different workshops<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Instructions for Proposers</b><br>
Workshop proposals should not exceed 5 pages and should be organized
as follows:<br>
<br>
Workshop title and acronym<br>
Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address,
homepage, and experiences in organizing such events<br>
Abstract (up to 300 words) and topics of interest<br>

time<br>
Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper
presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussions<br>
Intended audience and expected number of participants<br>
List of (potential) members of the program committee (at least

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