UMAP 2018 HAAPIE (Human Aspects in Adaptive and Personalized Interactive Environments) Workshop Chairs' Welcome & Organization

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd International Workshop on Human Aspects in Adaptive and Personalized Interactive Environments (HAAPIE 2018). HAAPIE 2018 (http://haapie.cs.ucy.ac.cy) is a full-day workshop held on 08 July 2018 in conjunction with the 26th ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (UMAP 2018), 08-11 July 2018 in Singapore. Nowadays, the profound digital transformation has upgraded the role of the computational system into an intelligent multidimensional communication medium that creates new opportunities, competencies, models and processes. HAAPIE embraces the essence of the human-machine co-existence and aims to bring more inclusively the "human-in-the-loop" approach/idea, adequately supporting the rising multi-purpose goals, needs, requirements, activities and interactions of users through new human-centered adaptive and personalized interactive environments, algorithms and systems. It brings together experts, researchers, students and practitioners from different disciplines in order to share ideas and experiences, lessons learned, approaches and results that could substantially contribute to the broader UMAP community.
