CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON RECOMMENDATION AND PERSONALIZATION IN ECOMMERCE
28/5/2002 - Malaga, Spain
http://ectrl.itc.it/rpec/
at
2nd International Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive
Web Based Systems
29/5/2002 - 31/5/2002
Malaga, Spain
http://sirius.lcc.uma.es/AH2002/
Context and Objectives
======================
Electronic commerce is the process of managing business occurring over
networks, which use non-proprietary protocols such as Internet.
Business includes buying and selling of information, services and
goods and maintaining a network of relationships between organizations
and individuals.
Recommender systems are e-commerce applications that provide advice to
users about products or services they might be interested in. Web
based recommender systems are the most notable application of the web
personalization, i.e., the process of tailoring a web site to
individual users' characteristics or preferences. Recommender systems
are exploiting a vast range of AI technologies and are defining new
scenarios for human to human and human to machine interaction. The
ultimate goal is to offer an enhanced one-to-one solution for each
single user and meet his needs more effectively and efficiently.
There remain difficulties limiting the full exploitation of
personalization and recommendation, arising both from technology and
from the "human factor." The goal of this workshop is to bring
together academic and industrial researchers to discuss the most
innovative approaches to recommendation in the context of personalised
e-Commence applications and in particular to discuss emerging related
topics such as: modelling decision making in recommendation systems,
cooperative query answering, session modelling, user modelling, web
mining, methodologies for comparison and explanation of
recommendations.

Subject: MLA Discussion Group
Call for Papers: 2002 MLA. "Mining Digital Resources: Sites, Tools,
Results"
The MLA's Discussion Group for Computer Studies in Language and
Literature has issued its Call for Papers for the December 2002
Conference in New York. The session is titled "Mining Digital
Resources: Sites, Tools, Results." We seek papers describing exemplary
projects and studies that use computer resources. Of special interest
are papers that include evaluations of resources. What works well? Are
there new uses for old tools? Are there new tools that should be
essential for the "scholar's workstation." Proposals for papers
(electronic format only) should be sent by March 1 to Malcolm Hayward,
mhayward at iup.edu. According to MLA requirements, "All session
participants must be members in good standing by 1 April 2002 to be
listed in the Program issue of PMLA."
