ACM UMAP is sponsored by ACM<br>SIGCHI and SIGWEB. The proceedings are published by ACM and will be part<br>of the ACM Digital Library.<br><br>ACM UMAP covers a wide variety of research areas where personalization<br>and adaptation may be applied. This include (but is in no way limited to) a<br>number of domains in which researchers are engendering significant<br>innovations based on advances in user modeling and adaptation,<br>recommender systems, adaptive educational systems, intelligent user<br>interfaces, e-commerce, advertising, digital humanities, social networks,<br>personalized health, entertainment, and many more. <br><br>This year the conference hosts three new tracks, one on privacy and<br>fairness, one on personalized music access, and one on personalized health.<br><br><br><b><u>CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS</u></b><br><br>• Marios Avraamides, University of Cyprus<br>• Judith Masthoff, Utrecht University<br>• Mounia Lalmas-Roelleke, Spotify London<br><br><br><b><u>CONFERENCE TRACKS<br></u></b><br>For details, see the conference website ( <a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQlUaGUgMjd0aCBBQ00gQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBVc2VyIE1vZGVsaW5nLCBBZGFwdGF0aW9uIGFuZCBQZXJzb25hbGl6YXRpb24gKFVNQVAgMjAxOSk6IFRoaXJkIENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcGVycwkzMDMJTGlzdHMJMTQyCWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.um.org%2Fumap2019%2F">https://www.um.org/umap2019/</a> ).<br><br>• Track 1 - Personalized Recommender Systems<br><br>• Track 2 - Adaptive Hypermedia and the Semantic Web<br><br>• Track 3 - Intelligent User Interfaces<br><br>• Track 4 - Personalized Social Web<br><br>• Track 5 - Technology-Enhanced Adaptive Learning<br><br>• Track 6 - Privacy and Fairness <br><br>• Track 7 - Personalized Music Access<br><br>• Track 8 - Personalized Health <br><br><br><b><u>SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS<br></u></b><br>Papers have to be submitted through EasyChair: <br><br><a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQlUaGUgMjd0aCBBQ00gQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBVc2VyIE1vZGVsaW5nLCBBZGFwdGF0aW9uIGFuZCBQZXJzb25hbGl6YXRpb24gKFVNQVAgMjAxOSk6IFRoaXJkIENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcGVycwkzMDMJTGlzdHMJMTQyCWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Dacmumap2019">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2019</a><br><br>Long (8 pages + references) and Short (4 pages + references) papers in ACM<br>style, peer reviewed, original, and principled research papers addressing<br>both the theory and practice of UMAP and papers showcasing innovative<br>use of UMAP and exploring the benefits and challenges of applying UMAP<br>technology in real-life applications and contexts are welcome.<br><br>Long papers should present original reports of substantive new research<br>techniques, findings, and applications of UMAP. They should place the work<br>within the field and clearly indicate innovative aspects.
