The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore emerging<br>areas of User Modelling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a group of<br>like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia.<br><br>In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program comprising<br>different workshop formats and combining emerging and established<br>research topics. Different full-day and half-day workshop schemas are<br>possible, such as:<br>· Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic;<br>participants may be asked to submit a white paper or position statement.<br>· Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper<br>submission and review processes.<br>· Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with<br>individual or team participation.<br>· Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the UMAP<br>general research topics.<br><br><br><b><u>PROPOSAL FORMAT<br><br></u></b>Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format to both workshop<br>chairs, not exceeding 5 pages and organized as follows:<br>· Workshop title and acronym.<br>· Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address, homepage,<br>and experiences in organizing such events.<br>· Abstract (up to 300 words) and topics of interest.<br>· Motivation on why the workshop is of particular interest at this time.<br>· Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper<br>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 50%<br>have to be confirmed at the time of the proposal).<br>· Requested duration (half day or full day).<br>· When available, past editions of the workshop, including URLs, a brief<br>statement on the development of the workshop series, e.g., in terms of<br>topics, number of paper submissions and participants, post-workshop<br>publications over the years and acceptance statistics.<br><br><br><b><u>INSTRUCTIONS<br><br></u></b>We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit<br>workshop proposals.<br><br>Researchers interested in submitting a workshop proposal are invited to<br>contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful proposals. In<br>particular, for workshop proposals with novel interactive formats, we are<br>happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas.<br><br>We strongly suggest to have organizers from different institutions, bringing<br>different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a<br>creative structure that may attract various types of contributions and may<br>ensure rich interactions.<br><br>The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web site<br>containing the call for papers and detailed information about the workshop<br>organization and timeline. They will be responsible for their own publicity<br>and reviewing processes.<br><br>There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all<br>the workshop papers will be published. Hence, the workshop organizers will<br>need to adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication timeline.<br><br><br><b><u>IMPORTANT DATES<br><br></u></b>· Proposal submission: December 14, 2018<br>· Notification of proposal acceptance: January 9, 2019<br>· Send the workshop description & website URL : January 23, 2019<br>· (Suggested) 1st call for papers: January 28, 2019<br>· (Suggested) 2nd call for papers: February 20, 2019<br>· (Suggested) paper submission: March 13, 2019<br>· (Suggested) notification to authors: March 26, 2019<br>· Workshop summary camera-ready: April 3, 2019<br>· Workshop papers camera-ready: April 3, 2019<br>· Adjunct proceedings camera ready: April 15, 2019<br><br> <br><b><u>WORKSHOP CHAIRS<br><br></u></b>· Milos Kravcík, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Germany (milos.kravcik AT dfki.de)<br><br>· Iván Cantador, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain (ivan.cantador AT uam.es)<br></font>
