make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how these will
be demonstrated on-site as well as online.
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).
Descriptions of demonstrations should have a length of max. 5 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 On an extra page (not to
be published), submissions should include a specification of the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 2023.
Late-Breaking Results
● Max. 7 pages + max. 2 additional pages for references;
● (Required) unpublished page with a list of questions the authors aim to get
feedback on;
● Publication in ACM UMAP 2023 Adjunct Proceedings;
● Presentation as a (potentially virtual) poster at the conference.
Description: 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contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas,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.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit 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.
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 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 On an extra page (not to be published),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 2023.
SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymised before
submission
Papers must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. The
templates and instructions are available here:
https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow.
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):
● LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript,review]{acmart} in the sample-
authordraft.tex file for single-column):
◦ https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t…

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.
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.
Submit your papers in PDF format via EasyChair for ACM UMAP 2023 Demos and
Late-Breaking Results at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23
(choose “New Submission” and make sure to select “UMAP'23 - LBR and

Carissime/i,
ho il piacere di comunicarvi che Giuliana Vitiello è la nuova presidentessa del SIGCHI Italy, avendo ricevuto 35 voti a suo favore (su 36 voti totali).
Nel congratularmi con Giuliana, ne approfitto per ringraziare Massimo Zancanaro, l'Extended Committee (Luigi De Russis, Rosa Lanzilotti, Davide Spano, Anna Spagnolli, Giuliana) e tutti coloro che negli ultimi quattro anni mi hanno sostenuto offrendo spunti, suggerimenti e aiuti concreti per le iniziative intraprese durante il mio mandato. La mia percezione è che, grazie alla partecipazione di molti, la comunità sia ulteriormente cresciuta (non solo nel numero dei membri), perché sono cresciuti in tutti noi la consapevolezza dell'importanza di fare ricerca nel settore dell'HCI e l'impegno nel disseminare il valore della nostra ricerca.
Sicuramente Giuliana riuscirà a cogliere nuovi spunti e guiderà l'associazione in modo da rafforzare ulteriormente la visibilità dell'HCI e della nostra associazione in contesti nazionali e internazionali. Sono certa che tutti noi sapremo offrire a Giuliana tutto il sostegno di cui avrà bisogno!
Un caro saluto a tutti,

UMAP ’23: 31st ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
June 26 - 29, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus
https://www.um.org/umap2023/
Proposals due: January 16, 2023
Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23
PROPOSAL FORMAT
Workshop and tutorial proposals should be submitted in PDF format via the Easy
Chair submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23, not
exceeding 5 pages, and following the ACM single-column format.
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.
TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
● New user modeling technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g. exploiting
data mining and big data analytics for user modeling, evaluation methodologies,
data visualization, etc.)
● User modeling and personalization techniques for specific domains (e.g., health
sciences, e-government, e-commerce, cultural heritage, education, internet of things,
mobile, music, information retrieval, etc.)
● Application of user modeling and personalization techniques for information
retrieval and recommender systems
● Eliciting and learning user preferences by taking into account users’ emotional
state, physical state, personality, trust, cognitive factors
