For more than 20 yea rs, the ABIS Workshop has been a highly interactive forum for discussing th e state of the art in personalization and user modeling. Latest development s in industry and research are presented in plenary sessions, forums, and t utorials. Researchers, Ph.D. students and Web professionals obtain and exch ange novel ideas, expertise and feedback on ongoing research before submitt ing their work to major conferences such as CHI, UMAP, WWW and SIGIR.  \n\n Introduction\n\nUser modeling and adaptive systems deal with creating and m aintaining a user model with the aim to adapt interactive systems. User mod els can be inferred from implicitly observed user behavior or explicitly en tered information, such as the user’s profile data, the user’s current loca tion or items that the user browsed, searched, tagged or bought earlier.  A pplications of personalization include recommendations of items, location-b ased services, updates on friend activities, interest-based portal sites, e ducative games and personalized guidance or help.\n\nWith the ongoing trans ition from desktop computers to mobile devices and ubiquitous environments, the need for more and better user modeling and personalization to adapt to changing contexts in various situations is even more important. But this a lso poses new challenges, including privacy problems and questions of user control. Systems may draw wrong conclusions about a user’s search actions, limit functionality due to badly designed personalized menus, or may inadve rtently disclose sensitive information to colleagues and friends.  In addit ion, the user experience is becoming more important in a mobile and connect ed world. It may not be only important to deliver the absolute best recomme ndations, but have fast and “good enough” recommendations. On the one hand, there is a battle for the attention of users. On the other hand, the cost of wrong adaptation is very high, users may quickly switch to different app lications and service, if he or she is getting annoyed.\n\nPersonalization does not need to be limited to generating lists of recommendations: adaptat ions such as personalized maps, tailored menus, link annotation and scripti ng potentially have a greater effect on the user experience. A particular d esign issue is the explanation of why items are recommended, or which inter face elements have been adapted – and how this can be made undone, if neede d. And how can one encourage users to inspect and adjust their user profile s, collected information and privacy settings?  \n\nTopics\n\nTopics includ e but are not limited to:\n\n Obtaining user data: logging tools, aggregat ion of data from social networks and other Web 2.0 services, location track ing, sensor networks Modeling user data: collaborative filtering, cross-ap plication issues, contextualization and disambiguation, use of ontologies a nd folksonomies Personalization and recommendation: applications in social networks, search, online stores, mobile computing, e-learning, automotive domain, assisting elderly or handicapped persons and other applications are as Privacy issues, transparency, user control and scrutability Adaptive o r intelligent user interfaces: adaptive dialogues, menus or other means of interaction, intelligent agents, feedback mechanisms, interaction with ubiq uitous environments, new paradigms in human-computer interactions Personal ized interaction: approaches to personalize user input or system feedback ( involving novel interaction paradigms), related prototypes and studies Ada ptive support for learning and teaching: methods and tools for individual s upport in the knowledge acquisition process, adaptive support for collabora tive learning Evaluation and user studies: laboratory studies, empirical s tudies in the field and analysis of existing corpora of usage data   \n\nS ubmission\n\nThe ABIS workshop will accept the following submission types:\ n\n Full papers (8 pages) representing mature work with a proper evaluatio n Short papers and demos (4 pages) representing work in progress and early promising results Vision and position papers (2 pages) that provide futur e directions; visions may be bold, but should be backed up with relevant li terature \n\nIn addition to regular workshop submissions, we specifically a im to invite Master and Ph.D. students to submit their research plans and t o present their work to the community. Students are encouraged to submit an d present their work in English, but submissions and presentations in Germa n are welcome as well.\n\n Doctoral consortium papers (3 pages) present pr eliminary results or insights, plus concrete open research questions and pl anned future work Thesis abstracts (1 page) are summaries of recently subm itted Bachelor, Master or Ph.D. theses, including a (permanent) link to the paper download \n\nAll accepted papers will be published in the Poster and Workshop Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2016 and be additionally made available via the ABIS website.\n\nResearchers and students will be encoura ged to submit abstracts of published work, which they then can present to t he German HCI community. In order to further increase visibility of this wo rk, paper and thesis abstracts will be published online at the ABIS website , including a link to the original paper.\n\nThe proceedings of ABIS 2016 w ill be published in electronic form by Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag as pa rt of the Mensch & Computer 2016 Conference proceedings.\n\nSubmissions sho uld be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair. Please format your paper acco rding to the template and author guidelines from M&C 2016 (“Autorenrichtlin ien Vorlage (MS WORD)“). The template is in German, but should be self-expl anatory. Unfortunately, there is no template for Latex. The maximum length of your paper depends on the submission category that you have chosen.\n\nP lease submit your papers via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/? conf=abis2016\n\nShould you have questions regarding the submission process , please contact us.  \n\nImportant Dates\n\n Submissions: 22 May 2016 29 May 2016 (extended!)
