--------------------------------------------------------<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extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a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>
