2nd International Workshop on:

** Augmented User Modeling **


In conjunction with UMAP 2012
20th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
Montreal, Canada, 16 - 20 July 2012

* 13 May:     Submission deadline (23:59 pm Hawaiian time)
* 11 June:    Notification of acceptance
* 18 June:    Camera-ready paper
* 17 July: AUM workshop

our interaction with computer systems has impact on our activities and
opens up new opportunities for personalization and adaptation.

The time is ripe for developing new adaptation paradigms that exploit
sensor data and other digital traces of our activities to extend users'
personalized experience by connecting the digital, social and physical

Technological advancements in various areas - such as location tracking,
RFID, media aggregation and retrieval, information extraction, opinion
mining, social signal processing, intelligent media annotation and semantic
alignment - make it now possible to automate the processing of digital
traces to enrich the system's understanding about users' experiences in the
physical world. These technological developments bring new opportunities to
technological, social, and ethical challenges.

The AUM workshop aims to create a forum for academic and industrial
researchers and practitioners to discuss augmented user modeling from three

* User Modeling: methods and techniques for analyzing digital traces to
capture, represent and connect user experiences.
* Alignment: methods and techniques for augmenting user models by aligning
heterogenous user data traces.
* Applications: personalization and adaptation approaches and application
areas which can benefit from augmented user models.

We welcome the following types of contributions.

* Demo papers (system demonstrations) and position statements (3 pages)
