User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization 21th International Conference, UMAP 2013 Rome, Italy, June 10-14, 2013 Proceedings 13 Volume Editors Sandra Carberry University of Delaware Newark, DE 19716, USA E-mail: Preface The 21st International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personal- ization (UMAP 2013) was held at Roma Tre University in Rome, Italy, during June 10–14, 2013. The General Chairs were Alessandro Micarelli from the Roma Tre University and Giovanni Semeraro from University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy. UMAP is the successor to the biennial User Modeling and Adaptive Hyperme- dia conferences that were merged in 2009 and is organized under the auspices of User Modeling Inc. The Research Track solicited papers presenting substantive new research re- sults on user modeling, adaptation, and/or personalization. The Research Track Program Chairs were Sandra Carberry from the University of Delaware, USA, and Stephan Weibelzahl from the National College of Ireland. The interna- tional Program Committee consisted of 56 leading members of the user modeling and adaptive hypermedia communities as well as highly promising younger re- searchers. They were assisted by 24 additional reviewers. A separate Industry Track solicited innovative commercial implementations of UMAP technologies and experience in applying recent research advances in practice. The Industry Track Program Chairs were Alejandro Jaimes from Yahoo! Research, Spain, and Michael Pazzani from the University of California Riverside, USA. They were as- sisted by a Program Committee of leading industrial researchers. The conference solicited Long Research Papers and Industrial Track Papers of up to 11 pages of content. In addition, the conference solicited Short Research Papers of up to six pages in content, whose merit was assessed more in terms of originality and importance than maturity and technical validation. Both long and short papers were allowed unlimited extra pages for references. Papers in the Research and Industry Tracks were reviewed by three reviewers; reviewing was stringent and the overall acceptance rate was 30%. The Main Technical Program of research and industrial track papers included sessions on a variety of established as well as emerging topics in user modeling, adaptation, and personalization. Among these were sessions on recommender systems, student modeling, social media and teams, human cognition, personal- ity, privacy, Web curation and user profiles, travel and mobile applications, and systems for elderly and disabled individuals. In addition, three distinguished re- searchers gave plenary invited talks on allied topics: Andrei Broder who is a Distinguished Scientist at Google, Geert-Jan Houben who is Professor of Web Information Systems in the Software Technology Department at Delft University of Technology, and Lillian Lee who is Professor of Computer Science at Cornell University. The conference also included a Doctoral Consortium, a forum for PhD stu- dents to present their ongoing research work and obtain feedback and advice from a Doctoral Consortium Committee of 17 leading UMAP researchers. The VI Preface Doctoral Consortium was chaired by Stephanie Elzer Schwartz from Millersville University, USA, and Marco de Gemmis from the University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy. This track received 16 submissions of which 12 were accepted. The Poster and Demo Session of the conference was chaired by Olga C. Santos, UNED, Spain, and Eelco Herder, L3S Research Center, Germany. There were 27 sub- missions reviewed by a Program Committee of 39 researchers, and 10 submis- sions were accepted for the conference. The UMAP 2013 program also included the following workshops and tutorials that were selected by the Chairs, Shlomo Berkovsky from NICTA, Australia, and Pasquale Lops from the University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy: Tutorials – Context-Aware User Modeling for Recommendation by Bamshad Mobasher – Design and Evaluation of Recommender Systems — Bridging the Gap be- tween Algorithms and User Experience by Paolo Cremonesi, Franca Gar- zotto, and Pearl Pu – User Community Discovery: The Transition from Passive Site Visitors to Active Content Contributors by Georgios Paliouras Workshops – Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services by Marko Tkalˇciˇc, Nadja De Carolis, Marco de Gemmis, Ante Odi´c, and Andrej Koˇsir – Group Recommender Systems: Concepts, Technology, Evaluation by Tom Gross, Judith Masthoff, and Christoph Beckmann – LifeLong User Modelling by Frank Hopfgartner, Till Plumbaum, Judy Kay, and Bob Kummerfeld – Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments by Milos Kravcik, Olga C.
