USER MODELING, ADAPTATION, AND PERSONALIZATION
Rome, Italy - June 10-14, 2013
UMAP is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that
adapt to their individual users, or to groups of users, and collect and represent information about users for
this purpose. UMAP is the successor to the biennial User Modeling and Adaptive Hypermedia conferences
that were merged in 2009. It is organized under the auspices of User Modeling Inc.
The 21st edition UMAP 2013 will be held in Rome, Italy, at Roma Tre University.
The conference spans a wide scope of topics related to user modeling and personalization, including construction of user models, adaptive responses, tailoring of search results, recommending products, Web
