About

Overview

Nowadays, people leave their marks at a multitude of applications distributed across the Web: They share their bookmarks in Delicious, fill in profiles at social networking services such as Facebook and Orkut, browse and buy products on Amazon, search with Google and Yahoo and interact with diverse other sites for information and services. This distributed and heterogeneous corpus of user data is a valuable source of information for systems that aim for personalization and user adaptation. With the advent of Web 2.0, Semantic Web as well as initiatives such as Linked Data initiative and the Data Portability project, there is hope to bridge the interoperability gap so that the Web itself can serve as a homogeneous knowledge infrastructure.

Target Audience

This workshop aims to bring together academic and industrial researchers and practitioners in the fields of Intelligent User Interfaces, Interaction Systems, Social Media, Semantic Web, User Modeling, and Personalization in order to discuss theoretical and practical knowledge, open research issues, applications, and experiences for common benefit.

Topics

The workshop will tackle challenges posed by user modeling beyond application boundaries, including, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Aggregation and integration of distributed user data and profiles
• Smart mashup interfaces
• Techniques for visualizing distributed user data
• User interfaces enabling maintenance of distributed user profiles
• Inter-system scrutability of user profiles
• Semantic methods for exchanging user profiles
• Intertwining social networking services
• Studies assessing the use of external/public user data for personalization
• Applications demonstrating intermixing of user profiles from different sources
