Don't know how many SIGIA-Lers would be interested in submitting a paper
here, but it does sound like a very interesting publication and might be
worth checking out.

> Information Retrieval is one of the oldest application areas that
> utilized user profiles and user models to serve individual users
> better. Yet Information Retrieval is not the same research field now
> that it was just 5-6 years ago. The World Wide Web has challenged
> classic models and approaches of Information Retrieval and brought
> to life a large stream of research on Web Information Retrieval that
> differs from traditional document retrieval in several ways. To
> encourage researchers to report on the application of user models for
> Web and Hypermedia Information Retrieval, we are calling for
> contributions to a special issue of UMUAI. In the past, UMUAI has
> hosted special issues on adaptive information retrieval and adaptive
> hypermedia. The goal of the new special issue is different -- to show
> the benefits and challenges of user modeling and personalization for
> Information Retrieval in the context of Hypermedia and the Web. This
> special issue will serve as an essential reference for researchers
> on Web Information Retrieval who are interested in making their
> systems adaptive and personalized.
>
> We want to devote this special issue to the memory of James Chen, a
> researcher who contributed to several foundational projects at the
> crossroads of adaptive hypermedia and information retrieval, reported
> in UMUAI (1). James has tragically died in an accident in 2001, but
> his work keeps inspiring other researchers.
>
> For this special issue we will consider all works devoted to user
> modeling and user-adaptive systems in the field of Web and hypermedia
> information retrieval. Relevant topics include, but are not limited
> to:
>
> o adaptive information retrieval in a hyperspace of
> interconnected documents
>
> o building and maintaining user models and profiles for Web
> information retrieval
>
> o agent architectures for personalized Web information retrieval
>
> o personalized Web information services
>
> o personalized information services for corporate and knowledge
> management portals
>
> o merging search and browsing in adaptive information retrieval
>
> o adaptive hypermedia techniques in information retrieval context
>
> o empirical evaluation of adaptive Web information retrieval systems
>
> o adaptive visualization for Web information retrieval
>
> o group user models, collaborative filtering, and social navigation
> for Web information retrieval
>
> o user modeling and personalization for digital libraries
>
> o Web and Hypermedia Information Retrieval through mobile devices

> About UMUAI
>
> The journal User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction is an archival
> journal that publishes mature and substantiated research results on
> the (dynamic) adaptation of computer systems to their human users,
> and the role that the system's model of the user plays in this
> context. Papers that present untested research ideas are not ready
> to be submitted to UMUAI. Instead, these ideas should first be
> presented at workshops to get feedback from colleagues. Once you can
> demonstrate ideas that are backed up by results, then they are ready
> for UMUAI. These results may be generated by building a (partial)
> computer implementation and from that, either analyze its behavior,
> run empirical experiments, or analyze the idea using formal means.
> Many articles in UMUAI are therefore quite comprehensive and describe
> the results of several years of work. Consequently, UMUAI gives
> "unlimited" space to authors (as long as what they write is
> important) and also does not mind if research that is being submitted
> to UMUAI has been previously published in bits and pieces at
> workshops and conferences (as long as the synthesis provides
> significant new insights).

> Important Dates
>
> January 30, 2002 (Recommended) Submit a one page abstract to
> guest editors
>
> February 25, 2002 Deadline for submission of full papers
>
> May 1, 2002 Notice of review results
>
> Abstracts of one page or less should be sent to the guest editors
> prior to January 30 2001, especially if authors are concerned about
> relevance of the paper to the special issue. Abstracts are highly
> encouraged, but not required. These abstracts will be reviewed by
> the guest editors only.
>
> Full paper submissions should be in the UMUAI format and will be
> reviewed both by the guest editors and by two or more other UMUAI
> reviewers. More details of submission formats are available from
> UMUAI's web site, http://www.informatik.uni-essen.de/UMUAI.
