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 informationretrieval and adaptive hypermedia. The goal of the new special issue is different -- to show the benefits and challenges of user modeling andpersonalization 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.
Abstracts of one page or less should be sent to the guest editors
prior to January 30 2002, 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.
