3rd International Workshop on Ubiquitous Personal Assistance (UPA'18) In conjunction with UbiComp 2018 08 October 2018, Singapore https://upa18.weebly.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Paper Submission: July 20, 2018 ** Advancements in ubiquitous technologies and artificial intelligence have paved the way for the recent rise of digital personal assistants (so-called IPAs, such as Apple's Siri, Google Assistant, or Amazon's Alexa) in everyday life. However, digital personal assistants are still in their infancy and far from being able to support humans unobtrusively and based on humans' intents and goals, or the way human personal assistants are able to. Ubiquitous personal assistance (UPA) refers to the next era of digital personal assistants, refining and completing the concept of IPA. The 3rd International Workshop on Ubiquitous Personal Assistance (UPA'18) aims to share experiences of current researches on digital personal assistants in order to understand the extent of how such digital helpers can unobtrusively guide and intent-based support users in their daily and professional life. We invite the submission of papers in the emerging, inter- disciplinary research field of ubiquitous personal assistance, which focus on understanding, design, and development of such digital helpers. We also welcome contributions that inves- tigate human behaviors, underlying recognition and prediction models; conduct field studies; as well as propose novel HCI interfaces and techniques to provide personal support. Relevant workshop topics include but are not limited to: * Digital personal assistants, anticipatory mobile computing, interpretation of predictive model outcomes, decision making, and intent-based assistance * Understanding human behavior including mobile sensing, context/activity recognition and prediction * Human behavior changes, intervention mechanisms, proactive guidance, intelligent actioning, psychological and persuasive computing * Novel HCI interfaces and techniques to provide personal support * Infrastructures, platforms, frameworks, and design for the development of digital personal assistants IMPORTANT DATES ================ Paper Submission Deadline: ** July 20, 2018 ** Authors Notification: August 10, 2018 Camera-ready due: August 17, 0218 Workshop date: October 8, 2018 PAPER SUBMISSION ================= We invite submissions with a length of * 4 to 8 pages * (incl. figures, references), ranging from motivated opinions or viewpoints on UPA, over work-in-progress or short technical papers, to full research papers. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 peers. Papers must be submitted to Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=upa18 All accepted papers will be published in the adjunct proceedings of the UbiComp 2018 conference and included in the ACM Digital Library.
