The conference will be held on September 9-13 in Dublin, Ireland. <br>Previous conferences have been distinguished by a strong level of interaction between <br>researchers and practitioners in the sharing of ideas, problems and solutions, and the 2012 <br>conference will continue in this tradition. The fully-refereed proceedings will be <br>published by the ACM and, like past RecSys proceedings, are expected to be widely read and <br>cited.<br><br>Topics of Interest<br>==================<br><br>We construe recommender systems broadly, including applications ranging from e-commerce to <br>social networking, platforms from web to mobile and beyond, and a wide variety of <br>technologies ranging from collaborative filtering to case-based reasoning. Topics of <br>interest for RecSys 2012 include (but are not limited to):<br><br>- Algorithm scalability<br>- Case studies of real-world implementations<br>- Computational advertising<br>- Conversational recommender systems<br>- Context-aware and multidimensional models<br>- Evaluation metrics and studies<br>- Explanations and evidence<br>- Group recommenders<br>- Impact studies<br>- Innovative/New applications<br>- Machine learning for recommendation<br>- Novel paradigms<br>- Personalization<br>- Preference elicitation<br>- Recommendation algorithms<br>- Social recommenders<br>- User interfaces<br>- Security, privacy, trust, and reputation<br>- Semantic web technologies for recommendation<br>- Theoretical foundations<br>- User modelling<br>- User studies<br><br>Paper Format and Submission<br>===========================<br><br>All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically in PDF format. RecSys 2012 <br>submissions should be prepared according to the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. For <br>your convenience, we provide paper templates in Microsoft Word and LaTeX on the conference <br>website. More details on the submission procedure are available at </span><a href="http://recsys2012.ucd.ie/submission.html"><span lang=EN-US>http://recsys2012.ucd.ie/submission.html</span></a><span lang=EN-US>. <br><br>There are two paper submission categories:<br><br>Long paper submissions should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The <br>maximum length is 8 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. Each accepted long <br>paper will be presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program. We <br>expect the review process to be highly selective: in 2011, the acceptance rate for full <br>papers was 20%.<br><br>Short paper submissions typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough <br>for a long paper. The maximum length is 4 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. <br>Each accepted short paper will be presented in a poster session. The presentation may <br>include a system demonstration. <br>Note: Please note that rejected long paper submissions will not be automatically considered <br>as short papers<br><br>Important Dates<br>===============<br><br>Abstract Submission: April 2, 2012<br>Paper Submission: April 9, 2012<br>Notification of Acceptance: June 1, 2012<br>Camera-Ready Papers Due: June 22, 2012<br>Conference Dates: September 9-13, 2012<br><br>Questions?<br>==========<br><br>More information at: </span><a href="http://recsys.acm.org/2012"><span lang=EN-US>http://recsys.acm.org/2012</span></a><span lang=EN-US><br>Twitter: @recsys2012<br><br>Program Co-chairs (</span><a href="mailto:program2012@recsys.acm.org"><span lang=EN-US>program2012@recsys.acm.org</span></a><span lang=EN-US>):<br>Ido Guy, IBM Research-Haifa, Israel<br>Sarabjot Singh Anand, University of Warwick, England<br><br>General Co-chairs (</span><a href="mailto:recsys2012@acm.org"><span lang=EN-US>recsys2012@acm.org</span></a><span lang=EN-US>)<br>Pádraig Cunningham, University College Dublin, Ireland<br>Neil Hurley, University College Dublin, Ireland<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:DE'>--<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:DE'>***************************************<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:DE'>M.Sc.(Eng.)
