WeBIUM-2024: 1st International Workshop on Wearable Devices and Brain-Computer Interfaces for User Modelling
Held in conjunction with ACM UMAP 2024 - Cagliari, Italy.
Important dates:
April 24, 2024, May 3 2024: paper submission
May 8, 2024: notification to authors
May 16, 2024: camera-ready due
The workshop will be in person or hybrid.
Aim and Scope:
The 1st Workshop on Wearable Devices and Brain-Computer Interfaces for User Modelling (WeBIUM) is dedicated to exploring the comprehensive utilization of data derived from Wearable Devices (WDs) and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to elevate the user experience
through enhanced user profiling and modelling. The primary objective is to catalyze research endeavours that leverage WDs and BCIs to obtain real-time biological data, thereby advancing the precision of user profiling. WeBIUM is committed to fostering innovations
in user modelling, aiming to improve user engagement and satisfaction by providing more accurate contextual and user information to personalization algorithms. This commitment aligns with the insights presented in the existing literature. WeBIUM endeavours
to facilitate meaningful discussions and knowledge exchange among researchers and practitioners on implementing solutions that harness WDs' and BCIs' data.
The workshop specifically aims to:
• Share cutting-edge research and methodologies encompassing new design technologies and evaluation approaches
• Identify and address forthcoming challenges in the interdisciplinary realm of WDs, BCIs, and AI
• Recognize emerging issues that warrant attention within the broader field
By providing a place for interdisciplinary collaboration, WeBIUM aspires to forge a community dedicated to leveraging WD and BCI data for user profiling. We encourage active participation from researchers and practitioners alike, fostering an environment conducive
to collaborative exploration and the exchange of innovative ideas.
