RecSys'09: Third ACM Conference on Recommender Systems Call for Paper

CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to invite you once again to participate in the premier annual event on research and applications of recommendation technologies, the Third ACM Conference on Recommender Systems. The previous conferences in Minneapolis and Lausanne have been distinguished by a strong level of interaction between practitioners and researchers in the sharing of ideas, problems and solutions, and the 2009 conference will continue in this tradition. The fully-refereed proceedings will be published by the ACM and, like past RecSys proceedings, are expected to be widely read and cited.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

The technical program will celebrate the diversity of research in and applications of recommender systems with refereed and invited presentations, keynote talks and posters.

Tutorials

The first day of the conference will be devoted to tutorials in which top practitioners and researchers share their expertise and latest results. The tutorials at the 2008 conference were highly-attended. Look for the Call for Tutorials announcement on the website, or send email to tutorial2009@recsys.acm.org if you are interested in presenting a tutorial.

Workshops

To reflect the diversity of research in recommender systems and to give additional venues for the presentation of research, the conference will feature workshops for the first time. Look for the Call for Workshops announcement on the website, or send email to workshop2009@recsys.acm.org if you are interested in organizing a workshop.

Doctoral Symposium

The Doctoral Symposium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished research faculty. Look for the Call for Participation announcement on the website, or send email to doctoral2009@recsys.acm.org if you are interested in participating.

Additional information on all aspects of the program can be found here.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

We construe recommender systems broadly, including applications ranging from e-commerce to social networking, platforms from web to mobile and beyond, and a wide variety of technologies ranging from collaborative filtering to case-based reasoning. Therefore, topics of interest for RecSys’09 include (but are not limited to):

Case studies of recommender system implementations

Conversational recommender systems

Context-aware and multidimensional recommender systems

Evaluation of recommender systems

Group recommenders

The impact of recommenders in practice

Innovative recommender applications
