Call for Tutorials ACM UMAP 2016 invites tutorials that address the interests of its varied audience: people new to the User Modeling, User Modeling and Personalisation researchers and practitioners who wish to learn new technologies, users of Personalized technologies, and representatives of government and funding agencies as well as potential private investors in Personalized technologies. We welcome submissions of tutorial proposals on all major topics related to user modeling and personalisation technologies. We especially solicit proposals for tutorials of the following types: • Tutorials with a coherent theme providing an introduction to new user modeling technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g. exploitation of Linked Open Data, ontology-based user modeling, user modeling design principles, etc.). • Tutorials describing the application of user modeling technologies in specific domains (e.g., life-sciences, e-government, e-commerce, cultural heritage, educations, mobile, music, etc.). • Tutorials presenting techniques from other fields that are of relevance for User Modeling research, including semantic web, social sciences, digital humanities, biomedical research, HCI, Information Retrieval, database, NLP, Internet of Things, data visualization, etc. Tutorials may focus on theoretical topics, however, we encourage organizers to incorporate hands-on sessions where appropriate. The tutorial should reach a good balance between the topic coverage and its relevance to the community. Tutorials can be half a day or a full day.
