Covid-19 Important update
PATCH 2020 will proceed as planned July 17, but we will continue to monitor the evolving situation related to the coronavirus disease outbreak and potential impact on global travel. UMAP 2020 follows the guidelines provided by the World Health Organisation, local public health authorities, individual governments, and the Italian Government. Decisions will be based on that. We wish to reassure that should a physical conference be unsafe or should people have travel limitations from Governments, the remote presentations/recordings will be possible. The accepted papers of PATCH 2020 will be published as part of the UMAP 2020 Adjunct Proceedings and will be available as planned in the ACM Digital Library.
Abstract and Topics
Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2020 will be again the meeting point between state of the art cultural heritage (CH) research and personalization research. For those using any kind of technology, while focusing on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, to enhance the personal experience in CH sites. The workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are working on various aspects of CH and are interested in exploring the potential of state of the art of mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance the CH visit experience. The expected result of the workshop is a multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research directions and hopefully, forge some research collaborations.
