ACM UMAP  is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB. User Modeling Inc., as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library. The theme of UMAP 2023 is "Personalization in Times of Crisis”. Specifically, we welcome submissions that highlight the impact that critical periods (such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing wars, and climate change, to name a few) can have on user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems; the focus is on investigations that capture how these trying times may have influenced user behavior and whether new models are required.  While we encourage submissions related to this theme, the scope of the conference is not limited to the theme only. As always, contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). Important Dates • Paper Abstracts: January 19, 2023 (mandatory) • Full paper: January 26, 2023 • Notification: April 11, 2023 • Camera-ready: May 2, 2023 • Conference: June 26 - 29, 2023 Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth) Conference Topics We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems targeting a broad range of users and domains. For detailed descriptions and the suggested topics for each track please visit the UMAP 2023 website. Personalized Recommender Systems This track invites works from researchers and practitioners on recommender systems. In addition to mature research works addressing technical aspects of recommendations, we welcome research contributions that address questions related to user perception, decision-making, and the business value of recommender systems. Knowledge Graphs, Semantics, Social and Adaptive Web This track welcomes works focused on the use of knowledge representations (i.e., novel knowledge bases), graph algorithms (i.e., graph embedding techniques), and social network analysis at the service of addressing all aspects of personalization, user model building, and personal experience in online social systems. Moreover, this track invites works in adaptive hypermedia, as well as semantic and social web. Intelligent User Interfaces This track invites works exploring how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter and more productive, leveraging solutions from human-computer interaction, data mining, natural language processing, information visualization, and knowledge representation and reasoning. Personalizing Learning Experiences through User Modeling This track invites researchers, developers, and practitioners from various disciplines to submit their innovative learning solutions, share acquired experiences, and discuss their modeling challenges for personalized adaptive learning. Responsibility, Compliance, and Ethics Researchers, developers, and practitioners have a social responsibility to account for the impact that technologies have on individuals (users, providers, and other stakeholders) and society. This track invites works related to the science of building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying adaptive systems that are fair, transparent, respectful of users’ privacy, and beneficial to society. Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems This track invites submissions focused on personalization and tailoring for persuasive technologies, including but not limited to personalization models, user models, computational personalization, design, and evaluation methods. It also welcomes work that brings attention to the user experience and designing personalized and adaptive behavior change technologies. Virtual Assistants, Conversational Interactions, and Personalized Human-robot Interaction This track invites works investigating new models and techniques for adapting synthetic companions (e.g., virtual assistants, chatbots, social robots) to individual users. With the conversational modality so in vogue across disciplines, this track welcomes work highlighting the model and deployment of synthetic companions driven by conversational search and recommendation paradigms. Research Methods and Reproducibility This track invites submissions on methodologies to evaluate personalized systems, benchmarks, and measurement scales, with particular attention to the reproducibility of results and techniques. Furthermore, the track looks for submissions that report new insights from reproducing existing works.  Submission and Review Process Submissions for any of the aforementioned tracks should have a maximum length of *14 pages* (excluding references) in the ACM new single-column format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). (Papers of any length up to 14 pages are encouraged; reviewers will comment on whether the size is appropriate for the contribution.)  Additional review criteria and submission link will be available shortly on the conference website: https://www.um.org/umap2023/ . Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and presented at the conference. At least one author should register for the conference by the early registration date cut-off. UMAP uses a *double-blind* review process. Authors must omit their names and affiliations from their submissions; they should also avoid obvious identifying statements. For instance, citations to the authors' prior work should be in the third person. Submissions not abiding by anonymity requirements will be desk rejected.   UMAP has a *no dual submission* policy, which is why full paper submissions should not be currently under review at another publication venue. Further, UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduct (https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment).

It is an opportunity for community members and tool authors to showcase their work and learn from each other with hands-on exercises. The competition proceeds in three rounds. In each round, participants are given 90 minutes to implement and prove specified properties of a given algorithm and/or data structures. They are free to use any verification tools they choose. We are looking for problem submissions. If you have recently encountered an interesting challenge in your work, don’t hesitate to submit it. Typical challenges have clear input-output specifications and often incorporate one or more of the following: heap allocation, concurrency, arithmetic reasoning. A challenge usually describes a problem using natural language together with some pseudocode, and then provides a list of properties or “verification tasks” of varied levels of difficulty. Contributors are encouraged to look at the Archive of previous problems on the VerifyThis web site, at the URL above. An award will be given for any submission used in the competition. To avoid spoiling the competition for others, we ask that you keep the subject of your submission private. Submissions should be sent by email to xldenis at lri.fr and siegel at udel.edu. Submission Criteria: * A brief yet precise problem description, specifically identifying verification sub-tasks. * A solution to the challenge is strongly encouraged, otherwise please provide a sketch of correctness. * The description document can use any reasonable format, including plain text or PDF.

To provide a meeting point for researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas and hot topics related to parallel and distributed computing and their applications, Euro-Par 2023 will co-locate workshops and, for the first time, minisymposia with the main conference. This is an invitation to send proposals for the workshop and, for the first time, a minisymposium program. Both workshops and minisymposia will be held on August 28 - August 29, 2023, the first two days of the conference. WORKSHOPS Workshop Proposal Guidelines The proposals should include the following information: • Workshop title and acronym, preference for length (half or full-day) • Information of the organizers, including a short biography of each organizer (5-10 lines). Each workshop will have a single main organizer, the corresponding contact. Others can be co-organizers. All the organizers must be a staff member at an institution or a company, and no PhD or other students can be organizers. • A tentative program committee (10-15 members) • Motivation of the workshop: * scientific objective * interest to the Euro-Par community * positioning with respect to the currently existing Euro-Par workshops • Description of the workshop: * content * format (contributed papers, invited talks, panels, posters or any other kind of activity i including european project meetings) * organizational aspects • Workshop background (number of previous editions jointly with Europar or in any other format) • Link to international projects/initiatives The decision about the acceptance/rejection of a workshop proposal will be made on the basis of the overall quality of the proposal and the degree to which it matches the scope of the conference. In the case that several workshop proposals have very similar objectives and scopes, a merge of overlapping workshops may be recommended. The topics covered by a workshop should not overlap with the main topics of the conference. Decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Proposals can already be sent, and the organizers may be notified before the notification deadline in case of a strong proposal. Workshop Organizer Responsibilities • Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it • Preparing and maintaining the workshop Web site including the relevant sections according to the organization guidelines • Selecting the workshop program committee considering that each member of the committee should make at least one review • Selecting papers through a rigorous peer-review process including at least three reviews per submission using the provided EasyChair installation and considering the possible conflicts of interest • Delivering the final workshop program to the Euro-Par 2023 conference co-chairs in time • Delivering the preliminary workshop proceedings in time before the conference • Providing the Euro-Par Steering Committee with a Management Report, after the conference, with key indicators such as: number of submitted and accepted papers, program committee and review process management • Delivering the final workshop proceedings with a revised version of the papers in time after the conference in the required Springer LNCS format (12 pages max.) and writing a preface to the workshop. Camera-ready papers will be published only if the management report has been delivered • Short papers can be accepted and presented at the workshop. However, to be included in the formal Springer proceedings, the minimum length is of 10 pages per paper • Registering for the conference • Meet the deadlines according to the organization guidelines Workshop Proceedings and Paper Review The workshop proceedings will be published in a separate LNCS workshop volume after the conference. The principal coordinator of each workshop will appear as co-editor of the workshop volume. Registered workshop participants will receive an electronic copy of the volume by email. All authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a Springer copyright form. The Euro-Par organizers will provide an EasyChair setup for all Euro-Par 2023 workshops, and its use is mandatory to facilitate paper submissions, reviewing, and collecting the camera-ready versions. The workshop papers will not be published in the proceedings otherwise. Each workshop will be an independent track within the Workshops' EasyChair installation, but it will be fully manageable by the respective organizers. Papers of less than 10 pages will be considered as short papers that can be presented at the conference but not published in the proceedings. MINISYMPOSIA A minisymposium is a session of coordinated presentations for promoting interdisciplinary communication on a topic of current interest and importance in the field of parallel and distributed computing, ideally having potential application in other domains. The length and program will be decided by the organizers; half-day (three-hour) minisymposia are very welcome, longer is possible, not exceeding one day (6 hours). The contributions to the minisymposia will not be published in the proceedings. Minisymposium Proposal Guidelines The proposals should include the following information: • Minisymposium title and acronym, preference for length (half or full-day) • Information of the organizers (full name, affiliation, country and email address), including a short biography of each organizer (5-10 lines).

Nominated speakers should be approached in advance and should have agreed that they will participate. * companies and/or institutions involved Minisymposium Selection Process All the submitted proposals will be assessed by the organizing committee. The decision about the acceptance/rejection of a minisymposium proposal will be made on the basis of the overall quality of the proposal and the degree to which it matches the scope of the conference. Overlapping minisymposia will be avoided (or possibly merged). Decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Proposals can already be sent, and the organizers may be notified before the notification deadline. Minisymposium Organizer Responsibilities Minisymposium organizers will be in charge of making publicity of the minisymposium and specify the number of talks and other activities. The contributions will be sent to the same web page as the contributions for the workshops. The review process will be decided by the minisymposium organizers. One of the organizers will be the contact with the conference organization. The responsibilities are as follows: • Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it • Preparing and maintaining the minisymposium website mentioning the Euro-Par vinculation • Deciding the length of the minisymposium, the program and type of activities and the names of the speakers • Use the provided EasyChair installation for receiving the contributions • Delivering the program to the Euro-Par 2023 conference co-chairs in time • Providing the Euro-Par Steering Committee with a Management Report, after the conference, summarizing the experience and including number of persons involved in the activities as well as any consideration useful for future editions • Registering for the conference as well as all the participants to the minisymposium • Meet the deadlines according to the organization guidelines Minisymposium publication The contributions to the minisymposia will not be published in the proceedings.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSALS ● For tutorials: https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-tutorials/ ● For workshops: https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-workshops/ WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ACM UMAP 2023, 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 Modeling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. 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 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. IMPORTANT DATES FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ● Proposal submission: January 16, 2023 ● Notification of proposal acceptance: January 30, 2023 ● Send the workshop description & website URL: February 23, 2023 ● Workshop Date: June 26, 2023 Deadlines refer to 23:59 in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

ACM UMAP  is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB. User Modeling Inc., as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library. The theme of UMAP 2023 is "Personalization in Times of Crisis”. Specifically, we welcome submissions that highlight the impact that critical periods (such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing wars, and climate change, to name a few) can have on user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems; the focus is on investigations that capture how these trying times may have influenced user behavior and whether new models are required.  While we encourage submissions related to this theme, the scope of the conference is not limited to the theme only. As always, contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). IMPORTANT DATES • Paper Abstracts: January 19, 2023 (mandatory) • Full paper: January 26, 2023 • Notification: April 11, 2023 • Camera-ready: May 2, 2023 • Conference: June 26 - 29, 2023 Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth) CONFERENCE TOPICS We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems targeting a broad range of users and domains. For detailed descriptions and the suggested topics for each track please visit the UMAP 2023 website. Personalized Recommender Systems This track invites works from researchers and practitioners on recommender systems. In addition to mature research works addressing technical aspects of recommendations, we welcome research contributions that address questions related to user perception, decision-making, and the business value of recommender systems. Knowledge Graphs, Semantics, Social and Adaptive Web This track welcomes works focused on the use of knowledge representations (i.e., novel knowledge bases), graph algorithms (i.e., graph embedding techniques), and social network analysis at the service of addressing all aspects of personalization, user model building, and personal experience in online social systems. Moreover, this track invites works in adaptive hypermedia, as well as semantic and social web. Intelligent User Interfaces This track invites works exploring how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter and more productive, leveraging solutions from human-computer interaction, data mining, natural language processing, information visualization, and knowledge representation and reasoning. Personalizing Learning Experiences through User Modeling This track invites researchers, developers, and practitioners from various disciplines to submit their innovative learning solutions, share acquired experiences, and discuss their modeling challenges for personalized adaptive learning. Responsibility, Compliance, and Ethics Researchers, developers, and practitioners have a social responsibility to account for the impact that technologies have on individuals (users, providers, and other stakeholders) and society. This track invites works related to the science of building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying adaptive systems that are fair, transparent, respectful of users’ privacy, and beneficial to society. Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems This track invites submissions focused on personalization and tailoring for persuasive technologies, including but not limited to personalization models, user models, computational personalization, design, and evaluation methods. It also welcomes work that brings attention to the user experience and designing personalized and adaptive behavior change technologies. Virtual Assistants, Conversational Interactions, and Personalized Human-robot Interaction This track invites works investigating new models and techniques for adapting synthetic companions (e.g., virtual assistants, chatbots, social robots) to individual users. With the conversational modality so in vogue across disciplines, this track welcomes work highlighting the model and deployment of synthetic companions driven by conversational search and recommendation paradigms. Research Methods and Reproducibility This track invites submissions on methodologies to evaluate personalized systems, benchmarks, and measurement scales, with particular attention to the reproducibility of results and techniques. Furthermore, the track looks for submissions that report new insights from reproducing existing works.  SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS Submissions for any of the aforementioned tracks should have a maximum length of *14 pages* (excluding references) in the ACM new single-column format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).
