ACM UMAP Workshop - HAAPIE 2017 - FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2nd International Workshop on Human Aspects in Adaptive and
Personalized Interactive Environments, in conjunction with the 25th ACM
Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (ACM UMAP
2017), Bratislava, Slovakia, 9-12 July 2017
Full details are available online: http://haapie.cs.ucy.ac.cy
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: 20 April 2017
Notification: 20 May 2017
Camera-ready: 28 May 2017
MOTIVATION & GOALS
State-of-the-art approaches in adaptation and personalization research
consider user models that mostly maintain information regarding the
"traditional" user characteristics (i.e., experience, knowledge,
interests, context), and related contextual or technology aspects (i.e.,
displays, connectivity, processing power). While modeling these factors
has shown significant improvements and benefits to the end-users in
terms of usability and user experience, still the needs of today's epoch
signify the further engagement into research that will produce more
holistic human-centered practices. The vision is to bring more
inclusively the "human-in-the-loop", considering intrinsic user
characteristics and abilities, like perceptual, personality, visual,
cognitive and emotional factors as expressed by the theories of
individual differences. In addition, recent studies show the need of
broadening the scope of diversity parameters to include characteristics
such as motivation, self-actualization, and socio-cultural differences.
The overarching goal of HAAPIE 2017 is to bring together researchers and
practitioners working in the areas of human aspects in adaptation and
personalization, and aims to:
- Explore state-of-the-art and new implicit and explicit methods and
techniques of modeling a broad range of human factors of users and
behaviors - both separately and in possible combinations (e.g.,
cognitive abilities and age; motivation and cultural differences);
- Explore personalization techniques, computational intelligence
algorithms, recommendation models, and real-time paradigms that can
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of user tasks and interventions;
- Compare challenges and experience in different real world contexts and
applications (e.g., decision support, learning, wellbeing, security),
where a holistic view on human aspects is needed to provide a positive
user experience; and
- Identify theoretical and computational models for the design,
development and evaluation of human aspects in adaptation and
personalization.
The added value will be to shape new human-centered adaptive interactive
environments and personalized platforms that can contribute towards
long-term viable solutions.

TYPES OF PAPERS
In HAAPIE 2017 we encourage original and relevant contributions focusing
on experiences and lessons learned from real-life applications, current
state-of-the-art methodologies, challenges tackled and solutions
adopted, tools, algorithms, and services in the academic, public or
private sector, studies, theories, techniques, and evaluation procedures
that could support human-centered adaptation and personalization issues
in various levels of interactive environments.
All workshop papers must contain original, previously unpublished,
research work adhering the two publication types:
- Full research papers (6 pages, incl. references), proposing new
approaches, innovative methods and research findings. They should make
substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field.
- Short research papers (4 pages, incl. references), presenting work in
progress, lessons learnt, positions, emerging or future research issues
and directions on human aspect challenges in the area.
Manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM Standard double-column
(SIGCONF) templates (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).
SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION
All papers will undergo a peer review process by at least two expert
reviewers to ensure a high standard of quality. Referees will consider
originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of exposition,
and relevance to the workshop's topics.
Research papers should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file
through the EasyChair submission system
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=haapie2017). Accepted papers
will be published by ACM and will be available via the ACM Digital Library.
