User modeling has been found to enhance the effectiveness and/or usability of software systems in a wide variety of situations. A user model is an explicit representation of properties of a particular user. A system that constructs and consults user models can adapt diverse aspects of its performance to individual users. Techniques for user modeling have been developed and evaluated by researchers in a number of fields, including artificial intelligence, education, psychology, linguistics, human-computer interaction, and information science.

The International Conferences on User Modeling provide a forum in which academic and industrial researchers from all of these fields can exchange their complementary insights on user modeling issues. The size and format of the meetings support intensive discussion, which often continues long after the conference has ended.

The proceedings of UM99 will be published as a book by Springer-Wien-New York. This book will appear in time for the conference. In addition, the proceedings will be made available indefinitely on the World Wide Web. The electronic version of the proceedings of UM97, which were published in the same way, is available at either of the following two Web sites:

Extended versions of award-winning papers are invited for publication in the Journal of User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction (UMUAI).

A $500 Best Research Paper Award is being sponsored by Kluwer Academic Publishers. A Best Application Paper Award is sponsored by humanIT, Germany.

UM99 follows the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth International Conferences on User Modeling:

  • UM94, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, August 1994
  • UM96, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, January 1996
  • UM97, Chia Laguna, Sardinia, June 1997

UM99 is being organized under the auspices of User Modeling, Inc.
