TLDR
The goal of the Fourth International Conference on User Modeling (UM94) was to bring together user-modeling researchers from different parts of the field to discuss and learn about each other's research, contrast approaches, and develop a basis for future research and collaboration.Abstract:
The goal of the Fourth International Conference on User Modeling (UM94) was to bring together user-modeling researchers from different parts of the field to discuss and learn about each other's research, contrast approaches, and develop a basis for future research and collaboration. A broad international audience of more than 110 people attended the conference, which featured system demonstrations, paper and poster sessions, three tutorials, and a set of special interest group meetings.read more

Work, locales and distributed social worlds
TL;DR: Anselm Strauss' (1993) Theory of Action is proposed as a candidate from which to evolve a framework to ground an understanding of work, thus providing a bridge between the social and the technical.
Creating Adaptive Hyperdocuments for and on the Web
Pme Paul De Bra,Licia Calvi +1 more
TL;DR: A simple but powerful representation of user (student) knowledge is presented, as used to adapt the link structure and textual contents of the course text, which results in adaptive hypermedia documents written in standard HTML3.2.

Using plan reasoning in the generation of plan descriptions
TL;DR: It is argued here that concise and effective text descriptions of plans can be generated by exploiting a model of the hearer's plan reasoning capabilities that views the interpretation of plan descriptions as refinement search through a space of partial plans.

Poster sessions, promotion, and publishing: is there a connection?
TL;DR: The majority of poster session presenters at ALA annual conferences regard the experience as positive and indicate that their institutions generally view such sessions as a form of publishing or creative work, and as helpful in meeting promotion and tenure requirements as mentioned in this paper.

Tailoring object descriptions to a user's level of expertise
TL;DR: This research addresses the issue of how the user's domain knowledge can affect an answer by studying texts and proposes two distinct descriptive strategies that can be used in a question answering program, and shows how they can be mixed to include the appropriate information from the knowledge base, given the users' domain knowledge.
