Special Issue of the

ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems

on PERSONALIZATION AND PERSUASION

Main submission deadline: February 15th, 2011

http://tiis.acm.org/special-issues.html

AIMS AND SCOPE

Personalized systems aim to enhance users' experience by taking

into account the individual user's interests, needs, or other

relevant properties. Systems based on persuasive technologies aim

to modify users' attitudes, motivation, intentions, or behavior

through persuasion and social influence. The coupling of

personalization and persuasion has great potential to enhance the

impact of both types of technology.

Most persuasive applications employ a "one-size-fits-all"

approach to persuasive delivery, but their impact can be

increased if characteristics of users are taken into account

(e.g., their preferences for particular forms of persuasion).

Similarly, the acceptance and effectiveness of personalization

(e.g., recommendation of interface adaptations) may be increased

if it is supported with state-of-the-art persuasive technology.

This special issue invites submissions in the intersection of the

areas of personalization and persuasion, which examine some

combination of these two types of technology. Such combinations

can be realized in a variety of domains and applications: from

natural language techniques for personalized generation of

persuasive content through persuasive explanations in recommender

systems and e-commerce services to personalized and persuasive

aspects of user interfaces and application functionalities.

The dimensions listed below indicate the range of work that is

relevant to the special issue.

TOPICS

Relationships Between Persuasion and Personalization:

- Personalization in the service of persuasive technology

- Persuasive technology in the service of personalization

- ...

Ways in Which Personalization Can Enhance Persuasion:

- Automatic matching of persuasive techniques to particular

users

- Tailoring of persuasion to the user's current context

- ...

Forms of Personalization That Can Be Enhanced With Persuasive

Technologies:

- User interface adaptation, recommendation, personalized

content generation, personalized information presentation or

visualization ...

Application Domains:

- E-commerce, e-learning and intelligent learning environments,

multimedia, user support, cultural heritage, health care, ...

Platforms:

- Web-based systems, mobile systems, smart environments,

pervasive/wearable computing , ...

Aspects of Personalized Persuasive Systems:

- Advances in either personalization or persuasive technology

required by their combination

- User experience: explanation, privacy, ethical issues,

predictability, and user control

- Evaluations in research or practice
