CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
RecSys'09: Third ACM Conference on Recommender Systems
http://recsys.acm.org/
October 22-25, 2009
New York City
************************************************************
We are pleased to invite you once again to participate in the premier
annual event on research and applications of recommendation
technologies, the Third ACM Conference on Recommender Systems. The
previous conferences in Minneapolis and Lausanne have been
distinguished by a strong level of interaction between practitioners
and researchers in the sharing of ideas, problems and solutions, and
the 2009 conference will continue in this tradition.
Register early (before August 21, 2009) for the lower registration fee
at: http://recsys.acm.org/registration.html
************************************************************
PROGRAM
Technical Program
The technical program will celebrate the diversity of research in and
applications of recommender systems with refereed and invited
presentations, keynote talks and posters. This year we have received
record number of paper submissions and are expecting a very high-
quality technical program.
Tutorials
The first day of the conference will be devoted to three high-quality
tutorials in which top practitioners and researchers share their
expertise and latest results.
Workshops
To reflect the diversity of research in recommender systems and to
give additional venues for the presentation of research, the
conference will feature workshops for the first time. There will be
four special topic workshops this year:
* Recommender Systems and the Social Web
* Open Source Recommender System Software
* Workshop on Context-Aware Recommender Systems (CARS-2009)
* 1st International Workshop on Recommendation-based Industrial
Applications
Doctoral Symposium
The Doctoral Symposium provides an opportunity for doctoral students
to explore and develop their research interests in an
interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of
distinguished research faculty.
Additional information on all aspects of the program can be found at:

We construe recommender systems broadly, including applications
ranging from e-commerce to social networking, platforms from web to
mobile and beyond, and a wide variety of technologies ranging from
collaborative filtering to case-based reasoning. Therefore, topics of
interest for RecSys'09 include (but are not limited to):
* Case studies of recommender system implementations
* Conversational recommender systems
* Context-aware and multidimensional recommender systems
* Evaluation of recommender systems
* Group recommenders
* The impact of recommenders in practice
* Innovative recommender applications
* Novel paradigms of recommender systems
* Personalization
* Recommendation algorithms
* Recommendation in social networks
* Recommender system interfaces
* Scalability issues
* Security and privacy
* Semantic web technologies for recommender systems
* Theoretical aspects of recommender systems
* User modeling and recommender systems
* User studies
************************************************************
AWARDS
The conference will present a Best Paper and a 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.
