UMAP concerns (interaction with) systems that acquire information about a user (or group of users) so as to be able to adapt their behavior to that user or group.

The following lists describe several dimensions along which UMAP systems can vary. A submission to UMAP will normally describe either (a) an advance with respect to one or more of these dimensions or (b) results that shed new light on the current state of the art and suggest possible advances.
