--------------------------------------------------------<br>
ACM UMAP – User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization – is the
premier international conference for researchers and practitioners
working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of
users, and that collect, represent, and model user information.
ACM UMAP is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB, and organized with
User Modeling Inc. as the core Steering Committee, extended with
past years' chairs. The proceedings are published by the ACM and
will be part of the ACM Digital Library.<br>
<br>
ACM UMAP 2022 invites Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Results
(LBR) papers of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research
prototypes). You are encouraged to submit your Demo or LBR by
April 15th, 2022.<br>
<br>
--------------------------------------------------------<br>
<b>**Submission formats**</b><br>

<br>
**Submission via** :
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<b>**Demonstrations**</b><br>
============================<br>
Demonstrations will showcase research prototypes and commercially
available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must
be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or
more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference.<br>
<br>
Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase
implementations and to get valuable feedback from the community.
Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system
will be demonstrated, and how these will be demonstrated on-site
as well as online.<br>
<br>
To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors
to submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or
YouTube) or any external material related to the demo (e.g.,
shared code on GitHub).<br>
<br>
Descriptions of demonstrations should have a length of max. 3
pages + 1 page of references in the new ACM single-column style.
On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include
a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating
the system at UMAP 2022. Given uncertainties surrounding the
COVID-19 pandemic, this extra page should also describe if/how the
demo can be presented in a virtual setting (e.g. with a video or a
live link to the system).<br>
<br>
<b>**Late-Breaking Results**</b><br>
============================<br>
Late-Breaking Results (LBR) are research-in-progress that must
contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research
ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system
prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of User
Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization. In addition, papers
introducing recently started research projects or summarizing
project results are welcome as well.<br>
<br>
We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit a
late-breaking work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing
valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and
fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues.<br>
<br>
Late-Breaking Results papers have a length of up to 7 pages + 2
pages of references in the new ACM single-column style and will be
presented to the conference as (in-person and virtual) posters. On
an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a
list of questions that the authors aim to get feedback on during
the poster session at UMAP 2022.<br>
<br>
--------------------------------------------------------<br>
<b>**Submission and Review Process**</b><br>
============================<br>
Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be
anonymized before submission.<br>
<br>
Papers (demo and LBR) must be formatted according to the new
workflow for ACM publications. The templates and instructions are
available here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow">https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow</a>.<br>
<br>
Authors should submit their papers as single-column. The templates
are available here (we strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX for
the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting):<br>
<br>
- LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart}
in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-template/acmart-primary.zip">https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-template/acmart-primary.zip</a><br>
<br>
- Overleaf (use
\documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for
single-column):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-master-template/pnrfvrrdbfwt">https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-master-template/pnrfvrrdbfwt</a><br>
- MS Word:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submission_template.docx">https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submission_template.docx</a><br>
<br>
Note: Accepted papers will require a further revision to meet the
requirements and page limits of the camera-ready format required
by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready
versions of the papers will be provided after acceptance.<br>
<br>
The ACM Code of Ethics gives the UMAP program committee the right
to (desk-)reject papers that perpetuate harmful stereotypes,
employ unethical research practices, or uncritically present
outcomes/implications that clearly disadvantage minority
communities.<br>
<br>
Submit your papers in PDF format via EasyChair for ACM UMAP 2022
Demos and Late-Breaking Results at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22</a> (choose *New
Submission* and make sure to select *UMAP 2022 Demo and LBR*
track).<br>
<br>
The review process will be single-blind, i.e. authors' names
should be included in the papers. Submissions will be reviewed by
at least two independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on
their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the
research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the
usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall
readability.<br>
<br>
Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the
formatting guidelines will be returned without review.<br>
<br>
--------------------------------------------------------<br>
<b>**Publication and Presentation**</b><br>
============================<br>
Accepted Demo and Late-Breaking Results papers will be published
in the ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings in the ACM Digital
Library. Papers will be accessible from the UMAP '22 website
through ACM OpenToc Service for one year after publication in the
ACM Digital Library. All categories will be presented at the
poster reception of the conference, in the form of a poster and/or
a software demonstration following poster format. This form of
presentation will provide presenters with an opportunity to obtain
direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the
conference. Due to the uncertainties regarding the COVID-19
pandemic, the poster session may be partially or fully virtual.<br>
<br>
**To be included in the Proceedings, at least one author of each
accepted paper must register for the conference and present the
paper there.**<br>
