ACM RecSys 2010 - ACM Recommender Systems 2010

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the premier annual event on research and applications of recommendation technologies, the Fourth ACM Conference on Recommender Systems. The previous conferences in Minneapolis, Lausanne and New York have been distinguished by a strong level of interaction between practitioners and researchers in the sharing of ideas, problems and solutions, and the 2010 conference will continue in this tradition. The fully-refereed proceedings will be published by the ACM and, like past RecSys proceedings, are expected to be widely read and cited.

PAPER FORMAT & SUBMISSION
There are two categories of submissions: long papers, short papers.

LONG PAPER submissions should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. Each accepted long paper will be presented in a plenary session of the main conference program. The maximum length is 8 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. We expect the review process to be highly selective: in 2009, the acceptance rate for full papers was 19%.

SHORT PAPER submissions typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. Each accepted short paper will be presented in a poster session. That presentation may include a system demonstration. The maximum length is 4 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. We expect the review process to be much less selective than for full papers, but will still screen for relevance to the conference audience and clarity of presentation.

Please also see the Call for Report, Videos, and Demos.

RecSys10 submissions should be prepared according to the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. Please see the Submission tab for details.

AWARDS
The conference will present the Best Paper and the Best Poster award, with the Best Poster award being judged on both the (short) paper itself and on the presentation of the work in poster form.
