and Personalization - UMAP 2018 (http://www.um.org/umap2018/), July 8-11,
2018, Singapore.


IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
Mandatory Abstract submission: 1 May 2018 (23:59 AoE - Anywhere on Earth)
Paper Submission: 5 May 2018 (Extended - 23:59 AoE - Anywhere on Earth)
Notification to authors: 20 May 2018
Camera-ready version due: 27 May 2018
Workshop Day: 8 July 2018

DESCRIPTION
------------
The evolution of  social semantic environments and content personalization,
along with the adoption of context-aware techniques, the spread of handheld
devices together with always connected IoTs, and of cloud computing are
deeply changing the way people are using the Web and digital devices for a
variety of purposes. This change is also pushing application providers to
offer a new wave of services and calls for intelligent user interfaces to
support users in their interactions. Users want to freely access content as
they choose, anytime and anywhere, according to their personal goals,
preferences or special needs. Henceforth, they require:
ubiquitous applications that can be provided as a service and can be used
on any mobile device, with no need for installation or software updates;
proactive user interfaces that track their progress, adapt to their needs
and prompt them without being disruptive or inconvenient and provide
analytics and predictive instruments; smart and personalized information
services to explore, search, interact, share, practice, and discover
qualitative content that fit their diverse and changing needs.
All of these applications require a deep understanding of content, users,
devices and situations where interaction happens. Semantics covers a
significant role toward these goals. Smart applications aim to address
needs and requirements of 21st century systems, including context-aware,
ubiquitous, mobile, adaptive and personalized, along with other new
technologies and methods related with natural user interfaces, augmented
reality, serious games for education and training.
The objective of the Intelligent User-adapted and Context-aware
Applications and User Interfaces workshop is to bring together experts and
practitioners of user modeling, adaptive systems, recommenders and
artificial intelligence together with domain experts, intelligent user
interfaces and ubiquitous computing researchers, in order to shape the next
generation of ubiquitous, smart and adaptive application services.


TOPICS
-------
We invite submissions that may include the following topics, but are not
limited to:
- Context-aware adaptive and personalized mobile learning
- Context-aware recommender systems
- Intelligent context-aware user interface
- Context-aware social applications
- Natural User Interfaces for pervasive computing
- Ubiquitous, social and smart learning environments
- Design and experiments of intelligent user interfaces
- Linked-data enhanced user-adapted applications
- Semantically-enhanced cloud services
- Different use case applications of intelligent user interfaces and
adaptive services


REGISTRATION
------------
The workshop will consist of a part of accepted papers presentation and a
part of discussion among participants. At least one of the authors should
register and take part at the workshop to make the presentation.


SUBMISSIONS:
-----------------------
Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of the UMAP conference that
will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

We encourage the submission of original contributions that investigate and
study adaptive applications and intelligent user interfaces:
- Full research papers (max 8 pp. in PDF);
- Short papers (4 pp. in PDF) for position papers and research-in-progress
papers.


All submissions must be written in English and contain author names,
affiliations, and email addresses.
Submissions should follow the standard SigCHI format (Microsoft Word and
LaTeX templates are available) and submitted via EasyChair (
