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. Best Research Paper prize sponsored by Kluwer Publishers Best Application Paper prize sponsored by humanIT, Germany.
