Preface
As the variety and complexity of interactive systems increase, understanding how a system can dynamically capture relevant user needs and traits, and automatically adapting its interaction to this information, has become critical for devising effective advanced services and interfaces. The International User Modeling Conference represents the central forum for presenting the advances in the research and development of personalized, user-adaptive systems. Bi-annual scientific meetings of the user modeling community started in 1986 as a small invitational workshop held in Maria Laach, Germany, with 24 participants. The workshops continued with an open format, and grew into an international conference with 74 submissions in 1994. While maintaining its feel as a highly engaged and intimate community, the conference has continued to grow, reaching the record number of 169 submissions (153 full papers and 16 posters) in this current edition, held in Corfu, Greece. With an acceptance rate of 19.6% for long papers and 38% for posters, selected by a team of reviewers who proved to be exceptionally thorough
