  Dear colleague,
  
  We apologize for multiple copies of this message. 
  It  is  our  pleasure  to  invite  you to submit a paper to the 
  3rd Workshop on Computational Intelligence for  Personalization
  in Web Content and  Service  Delivery  (CIWP'11) at  ISDA  2011
  Conference, Nov 22 - 24, 2011, Cordoba, SPAIN.

  Organizers: 
    G. Castellano, M.G.C.A. Cimino, F. Marcelloni, M.A. Torsello

  SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
  Today,  the  explosion  of  multimedia  content  and  available
  services prompts the need for more effective  Web systems, that
  allow users to retrieve the right information and/or service at
  the right time in the right way.
  Personalized  retrieval  is  a  promising   research  direction
  devoted   to   enhance  information   retrieval   and   service
  customization  by  exploiting  explicit  user requests combined
  with implicit user preferences. User  preferences  are complex,
  heterogeneous,  changing,  and  even  contradictory.  Moreover,
  information retrieval process is characterized by vagueness  of
  queries and approximation in the comparison between  the  query
  content and the information in the database. 
  Computational  Intelligence (CI)  provides  valid tools to cope
  with the complexity in the  mechanisms  underlying  Web content
  and  service    delivery  personalization. Indeed, CI  encloses
  different  computing  paradigms  that  work  synergistically to
  exploit the tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty, approximate
  reasoning, and  partial  truth  in  order  to provide  flexible
  information processing capabilities and low-cost solutions. Due
  to these characteristics, CI techniques   are  suitable to deal
  with the  imprecision  and  vagueness inherent  a  personalized
  information retrieval system. Recently, many  researchers  have
  addressed  their  interest  towards  the  benefits  of  CI  for
  personalization in Web information retrieval systems. 
  This   represents  a  promising   direction   to   improve  the
  effectiveness  of  such  systems and to  make them adaptive and
  more flexible.

  TOPICS
  We invite prospective authors to submit papers that propose the
  use of CI techniques to advance the technology in the  field of 
  Web   personalization,   with  special  focus  on   information
  retrieval  and  service  delivery. Original  contributions  are
  solicited in the following topics (but are not limited to): 
  * User behaviour modelling 
  * Context-aware browsing 
  * Automated techniques for user profiling 
  * Web mining for personalization 
  * Data models for Web usage, content and structure data 
  * Collaborative and content based filtering 
  * Clustering in personalization systems 
  * Hybrid personalization systems 
  * Adaptive user interfaces and personalization techniques 
  * Personalization in information retrieval 
  * Context-aware search 
  * Service delivery personalization 
  * Intelligent context-aware services delivery 
  * Explanation and justification in personalization systems 
  * Modelling decision making in personalization systems 
  * Measuring personalization effectiveness 

 IMPORTANT DATES
  * May 31, 2011: deadline for paper submission;
  * July 22, 2011: notification of acceptance/rejection;
  * September 16, 2011: camera-ready final submission and
    registration;

  Papers must be directly submitted through the ISDA2011 webpage:
