* Objective:

The objective of the workshop is to bring active researchers and practitioners

together and to facilitate discussions on current research results and issues

and emerging research topics in supporting personalization in mobile and pervasive

computing. The workshop aims to answer the following focused questions by

stimulating and involving as many active researchers in this field as possible:

- What are the unique issues, difficulties, and potential solutions for

personalization in mobile and pervasive computing?

- What are the roles of domain knowledge and ontology for the personalization and

efficient and effective ways of employing them?

- Assuming our surroundings will be filled with smart objects, how does a system

address the added complexity of personalization and what are the possible solutions?

* Topics of Interest:

Personalization for mobile and pervasive computing faces many challenges in areas

of user modeling, adaptation and prediction. The topics of interest include but not

limited to the following topics:

- Mobile and pervasive intelligent personal assistants

- User preference mining in a mobile and pervasive context

- User intention prediction

- Situation-awareness

- Domain knowledge and ontology for mobile user modeling and personalization

- Personalized mobile learning

- Adaptivity through indoor/outdoor location awareness

- Data acquisition and process

- Personalized division of computation between the phone and cloud

- Personalized power preservation

- Mobile and pervasive group personalization

- User studies and experiences

- Social issues such as privacy
