User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization, 2010 18th International Conference, UMAP 2010, Big Island, HI, USA, June 20-24, 2010, Proceedings Information Systems and Applications, incl. Internet/Web, and HCI Series

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization, held on Big Island, HI, USA, in June 2010. This annual conference was merged from the biennial conference series User Modeling, UM, and the conference on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-Based Systems, AH. The 26 long papers and 6 short papers presented together with 7 doctoral consortium papers, 2 invited talks, and 4 industry panel papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 161 submissions. The tutorials and workshops were organized in topical sections on intelligent techniques for web personalization and recommender systems, pervasive user modeling and personalization, user models for motivational systems, adaptive collaboration support, architectures and building blocks of web-based user adaptive systems, adaptation and personalization in e-b/learning using pedagogic conversational agents, and user modeling and adaptation for daily routines.
