# ** Second Call for LBR and Demos: 30th ACM Conference on User 
Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (UMAP ’22)**

http://www.um.org/umap2022/

(*) Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are planning for a hybrid 
conference and will accommodate online presentations where needed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

**Important Dates**

============================

*- Submission of demos and LBR papers: April 22, 2022 (Updated)*

- Notification of acceptance: May 10, 2022

- Camera-ready versions of accepted papers: May 18, 2022

- Conference: July 4-7, 2022

**Note: The submissions times are 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth)**

--------------------------------------------------------

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.

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 22, 2022.

--------------------------------------------------------

**Submission formats**

============================

For more details, see below!

**


  # Demonstrations

- Max. 5 pages + max. 1 additional page for references

- (Required) unpublished page describing how they would present the demo 
virtually and/or in person

- (Optional) video or external material demonstrating the system

- Publication in ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings

- Presentation as a (potentially virtual) demo + poster at the conference

**


  # Late-Breaking Results

- Max. 7 pages + max. 2 additional pages for references

- (NEW: required) unpublished page with a list of questions the authors 
aim to get feedback on

- Publication in ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings

- Presentation as a (potentially virtual) poster at the conference

**Submission via**: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22

**Demonstrations**

============================

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.

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.

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. 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).

**Late-Breaking Results**

============================

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 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.

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.

--------------------------------------------------------

**Submission and Review Process**

============================

Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized 
before submission.

Papers (demo and LBR) 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,anonymous]{acmart} in the 
sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column): 
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-template/acmart-primary.zip

- Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for 
single-column): 
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-master-template/pnrfvrrdbfwt

- MS Word: 
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submission_template.docx

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.

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 2022 Demos 
and Late-Breaking Results at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 (choose *New 
Submission*and make sure to select *UMAP 2022 Demo and LBR*track).

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.

Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the formatting 
guidelines will be returned without review.

--------------------------------------------------------

**Publication and Presentation**

============================

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.

**To be included in the Proceedings, at least one author of each 
accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper 
there.**
