Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

and social influence to support people in their learning and engaging in
beneficial behaviours She serves on the Editorial Boards of User Model-
ling and User Adapted Interaction Computational Intelligence and IEEE
Transactions on Learning Technologies She has served on the PC of Persuasive since 2006

ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems

Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

For the meteorologist
Weather in Denmark varies with the seasons Denmark has a temperate climate and can be
humid and overcast The winters are usually mild and windy and the summers can be cool
or sunny The weather in Denmark is a popular subject for discussion as it often changes
from day to day and even during the day It is therefore a good idea to bring a coat or an
umbrella on outdoor activities To check the weather forecast when you visit Aalborg plea-

For the Benjamin Franklin
Electrical appliances run at 230 volts in Denmark Electrical outlets in Denmark use a two-
prong plug typical for continental Europe Most laptops will automatically work with 220-
230 volts (check the back of your laptop for power input markings)

Welcome Reception at Utzon Center Monday 7th of July 2014 1830 - 2030
The City of Aalborgrsquos official opening reception will be held at Utzon Center The Utzon Cen-
ter functions as a venue for diffusion and innovation where art architecture and design in-
teract with exhibition education conferences meetings and culinary experiences - an apt
tribute to the Danish architect Joslashrn Utzon (1918-2008) Joslashrn Utzon grew up in Aalborg It is
therefore obvious that this architecture design and cultural centre should be placed in Aal-
borg ndash in the same area at Honnoslashrkajen where he use to walk by on his way to school every
day The Center is designed by Joslashrn Utzon himself in cooperation with his son Kim Utzon
Utzon Center has become a gathering point at the water front where there is an active life
for students for the locals as well as visitors from Denmark and foreign nations A light se-
lection of snacks and beverages will be served and you will have free access to enjoy the
current exhibitions at Utzon Center that evening

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics
Evaluation methods
News from social media Big Data technologies for news streams

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics
Evaluation methods
News from social media Big Data technologies for news streams

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

and social influence to support people in their learning and engaging in
beneficial behaviours She serves on the Editorial Boards of User Model-
ling and User Adapted Interaction Computational Intelligence and IEEE
Transactions on Learning Technologies She has served on the PC of Persuasive since 2006
Judith Masthoff is an associate professor of Computing Science at the

ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Schedule for The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
0915-0930 Introduction
0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

and social influence to support people in their learning and engaging in
beneficial behaviours She serves on the Editorial Boards of User Model-
ling and User Adapted Interaction Computational Intelligence and IEEE

ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the

lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

and social influence to support people in their learning and engaging in
beneficial behaviours She serves on the Editorial Boards of User Model-
ling and User Adapted Interaction Computational Intelligence and IEEE

ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

and social influence to support people in their learning and engaging in
beneficial behaviours She serves on the Editorial Boards of User Model-
ling and User Adapted Interaction Computational Intelligence and IEEE
Transactions on Learning Technologies She has served on the PC of Persuasive since 2006
Judith Masthoff is an associate professor of Computing Science at the

ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

For the meteorologist
Weather in Denmark varies with the seasons Denmark has a temperate climate and can be
humid and overcast The winters are usually mild and windy and the summers can be cool
or sunny The weather in Denmark is a popular subject for discussion as it often changes
from day to day and even during the day It is therefore a good idea to bring a coat or an
umbrella on outdoor activities To check the weather forecast when you visit Aalborg plea-
se visit the website of the Danish Meteorological Institute wwwdmidk for the latest fore-
cast View the forecast for the next 5 days here httpwwwdmidkengindex

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

For the meteorologist
Weather in Denmark varies with the seasons Denmark has a temperate climate and can be
humid and overcast The winters are usually mild and windy and the summers can be cool
or sunny The weather in Denmark is a popular subject for discussion as it often changes
from day to day and even during the day It is therefore a good idea to bring a coat or an
umbrella on outdoor activities To check the weather forecast when you visit Aalborg plea-

For the Benjamin Franklin
Electrical appliances run at 230 volts in Denmark Electrical outlets in Denmark use a two-
prong plug typical for continental Europe Most laptops will automatically work with 220-
230 volts (check the back of your laptop for power input markings)

Welcome Reception at Utzon Center Monday 7th of July 2014 1830 - 2030
The City of Aalborgrsquos official opening reception will be held at Utzon Center The Utzon Cen-
ter functions as a venue for diffusion and innovation where art architecture and design in-
teract with exhibition education conferences meetings and culinary experiences - an apt
tribute to the Danish architect Joslashrn Utzon (1918-2008) Joslashrn Utzon grew up in Aalborg It is
therefore obvious that this architecture design and cultural centre should be placed in Aal-
borg ndash in the same area at Honnoslashrkajen where he use to walk by on his way to school every
day The Center is designed by Joslashrn Utzon himself in cooperation with his son Kim Utzon
Utzon Center has become a gathering point at the water front where there is an active life
for students for the locals as well as visitors from Denmark and foreign nations A light se-
lection of snacks and beverages will be served and you will have free access to enjoy the
current exhibitions at Utzon Center that evening

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics
Evaluation methods
News from social media Big Data technologies for news streams

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

For the yuppies
Danish Kroner (DKK) is the currency in Denmark Banks are open from 1000 - 1600 Mon-
day to Friday Though in most hotels restaurants cafeacutes and shops international credit
cards are widely accepted If you would like to change your foreign currency to Danish kro-
ne you can visit Forex which is located at Ved Stranden 22
For the generous
Tipping In Denmark tipping isnt common - all service bills that you receive already include
gratuity and it is unnecessary (but always appreciated) to add a tip in Denmark

Nice to Know While staying in Aalborg
For the meteorologist
Weather in Denmark varies with the seasons Denmark has a temperate climate and can be
humid and overcast The winters are usually mild and windy and the summers can be cool
or sunny The weather in Denmark is a popular subject for discussion as it often changes
from day to day and even during the day It is therefore a good idea to bring a coat or an
umbrella on outdoor activities To check the weather forecast when you visit Aalborg plea-
se visit the website of the Danish Meteorological Institute wwwdmidk for the latest fore-
cast View the forecast for the next 5 days here httpwwwdmidkengindex
forecastshtm
For the Benjamin Franklin
Electrical appliances run at 230 volts in Denmark Electrical outlets in Denmark use a two-
prong plug typical for continental Europe Most laptops will automatically work with 220-
230 volts (check the back of your laptop for power input markings)
For Cary Grant
The conference is a non-smoking event and smoking is prohibited throughout the venue
However for those who do not want to walk outside for smoking there are a smokersrsquo
lounge and a smokersrsquo terrace in the building
For the one who wears a seat belt
Generally speaking Denmark is a very safe country and Aalborg is a particularly safe city
Like in most major cities in the world however it is advisable to watch ones belongings and
valuables while being in public places and to keep cars locked
Currency and Banks
Denmarkrsquos official currency is the Danish krone The krone is issued through the National
Bank of Denmark and is also used in the provinces of Greenland and the Faroe Islands The
currency is pegged at approximately 746 kroner per euro (euro)
There are numerous ATM with 24-hours service cash dispenser in the city Major credit
cards are widely accepted in the hotel restaurant taxi and stores
Time
The time in Aalborg is Central European Time (Summer Time GMT+1)

Welcome Reception at Utzon Center Monday 7th of July 2014 1830 - 2030
The City of Aalborgrsquos official opening reception will be held at Utzon Center The Utzon Cen-
ter functions as a venue for diffusion and innovation where art architecture and design in-
teract with exhibition education conferences meetings and culinary experiences - an apt
tribute to the Danish architect Joslashrn Utzon (1918-2008) Joslashrn Utzon grew up in Aalborg It is
therefore obvious that this architecture design and cultural centre should be placed in Aal-
borg ndash in the same area at Honnoslashrkajen where he use to walk by on his way to school every
day The Center is designed by Joslashrn Utzon himself in cooperation with his son Kim Utzon
Utzon Center has become a gathering point at the water front where there is an active life
for students for the locals as well as visitors from Denmark and foreign nations A light se-
lection of snacks and beverages will be served and you will have free access to enjoy the
current exhibitions at Utzon Center that evening

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Nice to Know While staying in Aalborg
For the meteorologist
Weather in Denmark varies with the seasons Denmark has a temperate climate and can be
humid and overcast The winters are usually mild and windy and the summers can be cool
or sunny The weather in Denmark is a popular subject for discussion as it often changes
from day to day and even during the day It is therefore a good idea to bring a coat or an
umbrella on outdoor activities To check the weather forecast when you visit Aalborg plea-
se visit the website of the Danish Meteorological Institute wwwdmidk for the latest fore-
cast View the forecast for the next 5 days here httpwwwdmidkengindex
forecastshtm
For the Benjamin Franklin
Electrical appliances run at 230 volts in Denmark Electrical outlets in Denmark use a two-
prong plug typical for continental Europe Most laptops will automatically work with 220-
230 volts (check the back of your laptop for power input markings)
For Cary Grant
The conference is a non-smoking event and smoking is prohibited throughout the venue
However for those who do not want to walk outside for smoking there are a smokersrsquo
lounge and a smokersrsquo terrace in the building
For the one who wears a seat belt
Generally speaking Denmark is a very safe country and Aalborg is a particularly safe city
Like in most major cities in the world however it is advisable to watch ones belongings and
valuables while being in public places and to keep cars locked
Currency and Banks
Denmarkrsquos official currency is the Danish krone The krone is issued through the National
Bank of Denmark and is also used in the provinces of Greenland and the Faroe Islands The
currency is pegged at approximately 746 kroner per euro (euro)
There are numerous ATM with 24-hours service cash dispenser in the city Major credit
cards are widely accepted in the hotel restaurant taxi and stores
Time
The time in Aalborg is Central European Time (Summer Time GMT+1)

Welcome Reception at Utzon Center Monday 7th of July 2014 1830 - 2030
The City of Aalborgrsquos official opening reception will be held at Utzon Center The Utzon Cen-
ter functions as a venue for diffusion and innovation where art architecture and design in-
teract with exhibition education conferences meetings and culinary experiences - an apt
tribute to the Danish architect Joslashrn Utzon (1918-2008) Joslashrn Utzon grew up in Aalborg It is
therefore obvious that this architecture design and cultural centre should be placed in Aal-
borg ndash in the same area at Honnoslashrkajen where he use to walk by on his way to school every
day The Center is designed by Joslashrn Utzon himself in cooperation with his son Kim Utzon
Utzon Center has become a gathering point at the water front where there is an active life
for students for the locals as well as visitors from Denmark and foreign nations A light se-
lection of snacks and beverages will be served and you will have free access to enjoy the
current exhibitions at Utzon Center that evening

tely different kind of power ndash Culture Power Nordkraft opened its doors in 2009 Nordkraft
brings together culture sports and recreation combining sports facilities a cinema theat-
res and restaurants under one roof ndash all in a fusion of contemporary architecture and au-
thentic industrial styles that create a very special atmosphere The exciting unique and im-
pressive building located in the centre of the city is the perfect setting for the Conference
Dinner The dinner will be served in the
concert hall Skraaen The Conference
Dinner is included in the registration fee
and the Conference Dinner is open to
both participants and accompanying per-
sons The price for accompanying person
for The Conference Dinner is DKK 600
EUR 80

The concept is pretty simple Running Aalborg is combining
running sightseeing and the beautiful city of Aalborg We
meet at a specific location and you will run with a guide
though the city The distances are relatively short and the
running pace will be adapted to the groupacutes speed We will
make some small stops along the way The guide will provide
history or anecdotes about what we are seeing Also the stop will allow you to catch your
breath and enjoy the view When participating you should dress comfortably and according
to weather conditions So be sure to check the local weather forecast Please note that it can
get very windy by the water in Aalborg so we recommend a windbreaker Rain will not keep
us away from giving you a Running tour During UMAP 2014 Running Aalborg is held on Tues-
day and Thursday at 700 am and the tour lasts app 45 min ndash 1 hour Meeting point will be
distributed via e-mail in the week before the conference
Price per person per tour is DKK 100 EUR 14 Max 15 participants pr tour

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

and social influence to support people in their learning and engaging in
beneficial behaviours She serves on the Editorial Boards of User Model-
ling and User Adapted Interaction Computational Intelligence and IEEE
Transactions on Learning Technologies She has served on the PC of Persuasive since 2006
Judith Masthoff is an associate professor of Computing Science at the
University of Aberdeen UK Her research is in personalisation and intel-
ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the
UMAP conference in 2012 and is a director of User Modeling Inc the professional association of

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Welcome Reception at Utzon Center Monday 7th of July 2014 1830 - 2030
The City of Aalborgrsquos official opening reception will be held at Utzon Center The Utzon Cen-
ter functions as a venue for diffusion and innovation where art architecture and design in-
teract with exhibition education conferences meetings and culinary experiences - an apt
tribute to the Danish architect Joslashrn Utzon (1918-2008) Joslashrn Utzon grew up in Aalborg It is
therefore obvious that this architecture design and cultural centre should be placed in Aal-
borg ndash in the same area at Honnoslashrkajen where he use to walk by on his way to school every
day The Center is designed by Joslashrn Utzon himself in cooperation with his son Kim Utzon
Utzon Center has become a gathering point at the water front where there is an active life
for students for the locals as well as visitors from Denmark and foreign nations A light se-
lection of snacks and beverages will be served and you will have free access to enjoy the
current exhibitions at Utzon Center that evening

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics
Evaluation methods
News from social media Big Data technologies for news streams

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Monday July 7th 2014 Tutorial 1 900 - 1230 User Affect and Sentiment Modelling by Bjoumlrn W Schuller Room room P1 Abstract Affect and Sentiment Recognition have matured to the degree where they are ready for real-world application At the same time the inte-rest in such technology has tremendously grown over the last decade and expectancy is nothing short of a potential to drastically change our way we interact with technology Affect and emotion are omni-present - be it if a system does not react in the way we want it to or - in the better case - be-cause it does In addition users may be affected by other influences and hu-mans certainly take such cues into account when interacting Accordingly there is great interest in having future interactive systems do so as well to make communication with them feel more natural sensitive and intelligent Modelling of affect thereby comprises an increasingly broader range of mental sta-tes beyond the big six basic emotions Todays approaches target increasingly more subtle affecti-ve states including also social emotions or mental states such as cognitive and physical load intoxi-cation pain or sleepiness just to name a few Models to represent affect are various and dimensi-onal modelling is increasingly more used rather than looking at a closed inventory of discrete la-bels Sentiment can be considered as one of these dimensions highly related to valence but usual-ly in connection with an object or target the sentiment is directed at This tutorial introduces the principles methods and state-of-the-art in user affect and sentiment modelling focussing first on speech and text but also including facial expression body gestures physiological sensors interaction patterns and context It further introduces typical databases tools and benchmarks in the field and touches upon use-cases and examples of affect-aware sy-stems and their engineering Emphasis is thereby laid on modelling and recognition in the wild and independent of the user In detail it will guide through the following parts Motivation for User Affect and Sentiment Modelling Classes Dimensions and Other represen-
tation forms Affect and Sentiment Data amp Benchmarks Database creation Monomodal Mul-timodal databases Benchmark tests and challenges Affect and Sentiment Recognition Moda-lities Pre-processing and de-noising Features and selection Classification and regression Au-tonomous learning and adaptation Affective Output and Feedback Affect synthesis Feed-back generation System integration aspects Confidence measures Context integration Di-stributed processing Encoding Tools Labelling Toolkits Feature Extraction Toolkits Learning Toolkits Use-Cases The (likely) next big things in the field

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications
She is interested in how to use personalized recommendations games
and social influence to support people in their learning and engaging in
beneficial behaviours She serves on the Editorial Boards of User Model-
ling and User Adapted Interaction Computational Intelligence and IEEE
Transactions on Learning Technologies She has served on the PC of Persuasive since 2006
Judith Masthoff is an associate professor of Computing Science at the
University of Aberdeen UK Her research is in personalisation and intel-
ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the
UMAP conference in 2012 and is a director of User Modeling Inc the professional association of
user modeling researchers She has served on the PC of Persuasive since 2006

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 3 1400 - 1800
Title Social Information Access
Room room P1
Abstract The power of the modern Web which is frequently called the Social Web or Web 20 is
frequently traced to the power of users as contributors of various kinds of contents through Wikis
blogs and resource sharing sites However the community power impacts not only the producti-
on of Web content but also the access to all kinds of Web content A number of research groups
worldwide explore what we call social information access techniques that help users get to the
right information using ldquocollective wisdomrdquo distilled from actions of those who worked with this
information earlier
Social information access can be formally defined as a stream of research that explores methods
for organizing users past interaction with an information system (known as explicit and implicit
feedback) in order to provide better access to information to the future users of the system It
covers a range of rather different systems and technologies from social navigation to collaborative
filtering An important feature of all social information access systems is self-organization Social
information access systems are able to work with little or no involvement of human indexers or-
ganizers or other kinds of experts They are truly powered by a community of users Due to this
feature social information access technologies are frequently considered as an alternative to the
traditional (content-oriented) technologies The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of
the emerging social information access research stream and to provide some practical guidelines
for building social information access systems
Presenter Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelli-
gent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh where he directs Personalized
Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab Peter has been working in the field of
adaptive educational systems user modeling and intelligent user interfaces
for over 20 years He published numerous papers and edited several books
on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web He was holding visiting facul-
ty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia) Sussex University
(UK) Tokyo Denki University (Japan) University of Trier (Germany) Free Uni-
versity of Bolzano (Italy) National College of Ireland and Carnegie Mellon University Peter is the
Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of
several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction ACM Transactions on the
Web and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems He is also the current President of User Modeling
Inc a professional association of user modeling researchers

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications

ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Friday July 11th 2014 Tutorial 2 900 - 1230
Title Personalization for behaviour change
Room room P1
Abstract Digital behaviour intervention is a growing area of research which investigates how inte-
ractive systems can encourage and support people to change their behaviour for their own or
communal benefits Personalization plays an important role in this as the most effective persuasi-
ve and motivational strategies are likely to depend on user characteristics such as the userrsquos per-
sonality affective state existing attitudes behaviours knowledge and goals Example application
areas include healthcare (eg encouraging people to eat more healthily and exercise more) edu-
cation (eg motivating learners to study more) environment (eg encouraging people to use less
energy and more public transport) and collaborative content development (eg incentivising pe-
ople to annotate resources participate online) This tutorial will cover the role of personalization
in behaviour change technology and methods and techniques to design personalized behaviour
change technology The tutorial will include both traditional and more recent approaches (such as
gamification) It will be highly interactive with short interactive lectures exercises and mini-
experiments
Presenters Julita Vassileva is a professor of Computer Science at the
University of Saskatchewan Canada Her research areas involve human
issues in decentralized software environments user modeling and per-
sonalization and in designing incentive mechanisms for encouraging
participation and facilitating trust in web cloud and mobile applications
She is interested in how to use personalized recommendations games
and social influence to support people in their learning and engaging in
beneficial behaviours She serves on the Editorial Boards of User Model-
ling and User Adapted Interaction Computational Intelligence and IEEE
Transactions on Learning Technologies She has served on the PC of Persuasive since 2006
Judith Masthoff is an associate professor of Computing Science at the
University of Aberdeen UK Her research is in personalisation and intel-
ligent user interfaces She is interested in personalizing behavior chan-
ge mechanisms for encouraging people to live more healthily and susta-
inably and in adapting motivating and emotional support messages to
personality She has co-organized four workshops on behavior change
technology She serves on the editorial board of User Modeling and
User-Adapted Interaction and is current guest-editing a special issue on
Personalization and Behavior Change She was program chair of the
UMAP conference in 2012 and is a director of User Modeling Inc the professional association of
user modeling researchers She has served on the PC of Persuasive since 2006

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Friday July 11th 2014 PALE 2014 900 - 1800
Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

0930-1030 Keynote by Pia Borlund
Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for

Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

The Joint Workshop on Personalized Information Access
Room Boslashgesalen
Description This unique workshop was a result of merging two workshops with overlapping
topics - the First Workshop on Personalized Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) and the
First Workshop on Personalizing Search - From Search Engines to Exploratory Search Systems
(PESE 2014)
bull The PMIA 2014 workshop was designed to share discuss and combine ideas for novel so-
lutions that support users according to their particular language abilities as well as other cha-
racteristics (eg culture domain expertise) and contexts (eg intent topic) that influence what
and how information should be retrieved composed and presented
bull The PESE 2014 workshop was designed to explore another subtopic of personalized infor-
mation access addressing the challenges in user modeling when aiming to bring personalization
to complex exploratory search tasks
During the reviewing process the organizers discussed the overlapping nature of the workshops
and a broader scope of interesting submissions and decided that it would be most appropriate to
merge these workshops under a broader topic of personalized information access The organizers
hope that the workshop results will directly influence the design of personalized applications that
support more effective access to knowledge and deliver users search experiences which are tailo-
red to their information needs and contextsacute

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics
Evaluation methods

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Evaluation of interactive information retrieval by use of simulated work task situations
The talk introduces the test instrument named a simulated work task situation that is commonly used in evaluations of interactive information retrieval (IIR) IIR evaluations focus on usersrsquo satisfaction with retrieved information and use of IR systems The test instrument takes the form of written search task descriptions that are assigned to the test participants The objective of the use of simulated work task situations is to obtain reali-stic reliable and comparable search and assessment behaviour during testing The talk presents the concept of simulated work task situation and the requirements for the use of it as a test instrument The talk further emphasises the importance tailoring of the simula-ted work task situations towards the group of test participants by providing illustrative examples of successfully tailored simulated work task situations and less successfully ones

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments Room Det Ny Kilden
Description The PALE 2014 workshop is a follow-up of the three previous editions of PALE The
focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which
personalization can be addressed in learning environments From the past experience we have
identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones In this
workshop we would like to share and discuss the current research on how user modeling and as-
sociated artificial intelligent techniques provide the personalization support in a wide range of
learning environments which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context
such as intelligent tutoring systems learning management systems personal learning environ-
ments serious games agent-based learning environments and others We are especially intere-
sted in the enhanced sensitivity towards learnersrsquo interactions (eg sensor detection of affect in
context) and technological deployment (including web mobiles tablets tabletops) and how can
this wide range of situations and features impact on modeling the learner interaction and context
Furthermore we aim to cover the every time more demanding need of personalized learning in
massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Topics of interest
Affective computing ambient intelligence
Personalization of MOOCs
Learner and context awareness
Social and educational issues to be addressed
Open-corpus educational systems adaptive mobile learning
Successful methods and techniques
Reusability interoperability scalability
Evaluation of adaptive learning environments

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services

ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The advent of e-government (e-Gov) initiatives has changed the interaction between govern-
ments and citizens Services can now be delivered by means of virtual channels eg through Web portals
or mobile apps or even online communities and citizens can exploit these channels to interact with public
administration In this new scenario innovative solutions based on e-Gov service offers that are better
tailored to citizens needs can facilitate the access to services and reduce the red tape that usually cha-
racterizes the public service provision Even though several personalization methods and user modeling
techniques have been proposed and successfully applied in several domains (eg e-commerce) the appli-
cation of these approaches in the eGovernment domain is still in its infancy As an example while in an e-
commerce we can quite easily catch user preferences and subsequently make suggestions according to
the user profile in the e-Gov domain the concept of preference itself is difficult to define There are also
potentially ethical (including privacy) issues related to the fact that citizens might be in a dependence rela-
tionship with governments and automatic user profiling might be considered big brother and not desirab-
le The major goal of this workshop is to stimulate the attention of the scientific and business community
on the aforementioned issues to move towards more user-aware and adaptive services in e-Gov by means
of personalization methods We are specifically interested in the role of user modeling and profiling in ad-
vanced public service design and delivery by dealing also with aspects related to privacy security and
multilingualism Following on the successful inaugural edition of the UMAP-PEGOV workshop of last year
this second workshop on Personalization in eGovernment Services and Applications aims to stimulate
further interest of the scientific and business communities on the aforementioned issues to move towards
more user-aware and adaptive services in the e-Gov domain by means of personalization methods
Topics of interest
Motivations benefits and issues of personalization in e-Gov Approaches for the personalization of
inclusive personal and interactive e-Gov services User and context awareness in personalization of
e-Gov services Multilingual e-Gov services Adaptation personalization and recommendation mod-
els and goals in e-Gov User group and family modeling in e-Gov Mining of user behavior opinion
mining and sentiment analysis in e-Gov
Services for personalized access to (Linked) Open Government Data Persistence removal and up-
date of citizen profiles Semantic techniques for user profiling and personalization in e-Gov Ethical
issues including privacy in e-Gov Usability of e-Gov applicationsEvaluation of personalized services
in e-Gov Applications of personalization methods in e-Gov Communities and social networks in par-
ticipatory e-Gov Citizen-centered service design and modeling

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Friday July 11th 2014 EMPIRE 2014 900 - 1800 Workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services Room Birkesalen
Description The 2nd workshop on Emotions and Personality in Personalized Services will be organized in conjunction with the UMAP 2014 conference and will be held in Aalborg Denmark as a full-day workshop on 11 July 2014 Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our prefe-rences decisions and behaviour in general Hence personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the userrsquos personality andor emotions to perform well Affective factors may include long-term personality traits or shorter-term states ranging from lsquoaffect dispositionsrsquo lsquoattitudesrsquo (liking lov-ing hatinghellip) lsquointerpersonal stancesrsquo (distant cold warmhellip) lsquomoodsrsquo (cheerful irritable depressedhellip) or lsquoreal emotionsrsquo Recently there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferen-ces gaming styles and learning styles Furthermore some studies showed that it is possible to extract per-sonality information about a user without annoying questionnaires by analyzing the publicly available userrsquos social media feeds Also the affective computing community has developed sophisticated tech-niques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection Generally emotions can be used in personalized systems in two ways (i) either to change the emotion (or mood eg from a negative to a po-sitive) or (ii) to sustain the current emotion (eg keep a user ldquochargedrdquo while doing sports) Recent studies showed that such information can be used in various personalized systems like emotion-aware recom-mender systems

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics
Evaluation methods

Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics
Evaluation methods
News from social media Big Data technologies for news streams

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-

Workshop on News Recommendation and Analytics
Room Boslashgesalen
Description The news domain is characterized by a constant flow of unstructured fragmentary
and unreliable news stories from numerous sources and different perspectives Finding the right
information either in terms of individual news stories or aggregated knowledge from analyzing
entire news streams is a tremendous challenge that necessitates a wide range of technologies
and a deep understanding of user preferences news contents and their relationships This work-
shop addresses primarily news recommender systems and news analytics with a particular focus
on user profiling and techniques for dealing with and extracting knowledge from large-scale news
streams The news streams may originate in large media companies but may also come from soci-
al sites where user models are needed to decide how user-generated content is to be taken into
account This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that addresses design is-
sues in news recommender systems and news analytics and promote fruitful collaboration oppor-
tunities between researchers media companies and practitioners
Topics of interest
News semantics and ontologies News summarization classification and senti-
ment analysis
Recommender systems and news personalization Group recommendation for
news
User profiling and news context modeling
News evolution and trends Large-scale news mining and analytics
Evaluation methods
News from social media Big Data technologies for news streams

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research

Title The ABCS A Framework for Thinking about People-Centered
Systems Design
Presenter Elisabeth Churchill
Room Det Ny Kilden Chairman Vania Dimitrova
Resume Dr Elizabeth Churchill is a an applied social scientist working in the area of social media interac-
tion design and mobileubiquitous computing She is currently Director of Human Computer Interaction at
eBay Research Labs (ERL) in San Jose California She was formerly a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo
Research where she founded staffed and managed the Internet Experiences Group Until September of
2006 she worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) California in the Computing Science Lab (CSL)
Prior to that she formed and led the Social Computing Group at FX Palo Laboratory Fuji Xeroxrsquos research
lab in Palo Alto Originally a psychologist by training throughout her career Elizabeth has focused on un-
derstanding peoplersquos social and collaborative interactions in their everyday digital and physical contexts
She has studied designed and collaborated in creating online collaboration tools (eg virtual worlds colla-
borationchat spaces) applications and services for mobile and personal devices and media installations in
public spaces for distributed collaboration and communication Her current focus is on developing princi-
ples for Human Centered Commerce With over 150 peer reviewed publications and 5 edited books topics
she has written about include implicit learning human-agent systems mixed initiative dialogue systems
social aspects of information seeking digital archive and memory and the development of emplaced me-
dia spaces She has been a regular columnist for ACM interactions since 2008 Her co-authored book Foun-
dations for Designing User-Centered Systems will be published by Springer in early 2014
Abstract Interactive technologies pervade every aspect of modern life Web sites mobile devices house-
hold gadgets automotive controls aircraft flight decks everywhere you look people are interacting with
technologies This trend is set to continue as we move towards a world comprising Smart Cities built around
the Internet of Things Unfortunately much of the rhetoric surrounding this dawning age of ubiquitous and
embedded computing fails to appropriately consider the people at the centre of it These people are embo-
died social agents with motivations emotions capabilities capacities proclivities and predilections Techno-
logical imaginings around the Internet of Things are often steeped in generalities or idealised scenarios of
use Such imaginings typically forget that design is always about meeting particular peoples needs in particu-
lar contexts From concept to ideation to prototype and evaluation the design of interactive technologies
and systems that are intended for people should start with some understanding of who the users will be
what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-

what tasks and experiences they are aiming for and what the circumstances conditions or context(s) are at
play In this talk I will discuss a simple people-centric framework devised with my colleagues and coauthors
to inform the way we think about design the ABCS of designing interactive systems A descriptive guide rath-
er than a prescriptive checklist the framework draws on basic research in ergonomics psychology and user
modeling It is intended to focus design thinking about people as the users of interactive computational sy-
stems It is intended to support us as the designers of interactive technologies as we scope draft and iterate
on the design space of imagined interactive experiences Using examples from my own work I will illustrate
how this framework has been explicitly andor tacitly applied in the design development and evaluation of
interactive multimedia systems In particular I will consider how this framework is currently being applied
to rethinking the concept of personalization

Title Mobile Sensing and Understanding User Behavior in Urban
Contexts
Presenter Kaj Gronbaeligk
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Peter Dolog
Resume Kaj Gronbaeligk is a professor at the Department of Computer Science University of Aarhus Den-
mark where his is heading the Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction research group He is manager of
the interdisciplinary Center for Interactive Spaces (2003 - present) that has developed a number of physi-
cally large-scale interactive systems eg interactive floors for learning interactive sports training
equipment and urban installations stimulating movement and social interaction The research has lead to
products being marketed by two companies the Alexandra Institute AS and Redia AS He is a part time
Research and Innovation Manager for Interaction at the Alexandra Institute He is currently research ma-
nager of two larger government funded projects 1) The EcoSense project (Danish Council for Strategic Re-
search) developing participatory mobile sensing and visualization methods and tools for personal environ-
mental awareness and environmental decision making in companies and societies 2) The PosLogistics pro-
ject (Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation) developing logistics and service task managemet
for hospitals based on indoor positioning and other context information His research areas span Ubiqui-
tous Computing Interaction Design Interactive Spaces HypermediaWeb Augmented Reality Context-
aware Computing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Participatory Design (system develop-
ment with active user involvement)
Abstract In the EcoSense project we strive to understand human activity in urban contexts and how it
impacts the local environment and the climate in general We develop methods that combine mobile
sensing mobile experience sampling and qualitative ethnographic methods to understand behavioral
patterns their impacts and the potentials to change behavior where needed The methods involve disse-
mination of smartphone apps to the general public or specific user groups to sense and probe their activi-
ties in order to make analysis as well as to support the everyday life of the users Examples of environ-
mental domains for mobile sensing and analysis are transportation behavior green transportation
campaigns (eg promotion of biking and electric vehicles) pollution mapping as well as sensing presence
and energy related activities in large buildings But the methods may also generalize beyond climate rela-
ted behavior to eg safety mapping of city areas and understanding participant behavior during large
urban cultural events The talk will give an overview of the methods being developed and examples of
their usage Finally I will discuss important challenges ranging from collection of data from a large num-
ber of heterogeneous devices maintaining data collection making sense of big data from mobile sensing

Title Computing and Autism How a real problem drives computing research
Presenter Gregory D Abowd
Room Det Ny Kilden
Chairman Tsvi Kuflik
Resume Gregory D Abowd is a Regents and Distinguished Professor in the School of Interactive Compu-
ting at Georgia Tech where he leads the Ubicomp Research Group His research interests concern how the
advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp) impact our everyday lives when
they are seamlessly integrated into our living spaces Dr Abowds work has involved schools (Classroom
2000) and homes (The Aware Home) with a recent focus on health and particularly autism
Dr Abowd received the degree of BS in Honors Mathematics in 1986 from the University of Notre Dame
He then attended the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom earning the degrees of MSc (1987) and
DPhil (1991) in Computation from the Programming Research Group in the Computing Laboratory From
1989-1992 he was a Research AssociatePostdoc with the Human-Computer Interaction Group in the De-
partment of Computer Science at the University of York in England From 1992-1994 he was a Postdocto-
ral Research Associate with the Software Engineering Institute and the Computer Science Department at
Carnegie Mellon University He has been a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1994 He
is an ACM Fellow a member of the CHI Academy and recipient of the SIGCHI Social Impact Award and
ACM Eugene Lawler Humanitarian Award Much more news about his research group both personal and
professional can be found here
Abstract In 2002 I had a fortunate collision of my personal and professional lives when I realized that
work in ubiquitous computing specifically the automated capture of live experiences for later access
could actually have an impact on the world of autism I am the father of two boys with autism and for
the past decade I have seen many different ways that computing technology can address challenges fa-
ced by a wide variety of stakeholder communities linked with autism from the individuals and their fami-
lies to educators therapists clinicians and researchers In this talk I want to explain how a concrete ap-
plications domain such as autism and related developmental disabilities can present a wide variety of
opportunities for computing research
