UUMA 2013 - The 4rd International Workshop on Universal User Modeling and Applications

The International Workshop on Universal User Modeling and Applications (UUMA 2013) is an international forum for researchers to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice of user modeling and its related applications, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future. The technical program of UUMA 2013 will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions. UUMA 2013 will be held in Beijing, China during August 20-23, 2013. In conjunction with the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings2013). UUMA 2010, UUMA 2011 and UUMA 2012 were held in Hangzhou, Dalian and Chengdu, respectively.
