We encourage submissions that address the challenges related to situations where there are some kind of utility involved with the recommendations and/or where there are multiple objectives or multiple stakeholders in recommender systems.  The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

• Recommendation with multiple stakeholders

• Utility-aware recommender systems

• Applications of personalization in advertising and promotions   

• Recommender systems with multiple objectives

• Estimation and optimization methods for the long-term value of recommender systems

• Long-term community or audience growth for recommended items

• Explainable recommendations, especially for strategic and utility-aware recommendations.

• Methods for estimating trade-offs between user retention and satisfaction and a utility value of recommendations

• The impact of different objectives on the short-term and long-term success of the recommender systems.

• Simulation for experimentation in multi-objective, multi-stakeholder recommenders, and long-term user satisfaction. 

• Users’ trust in recommendations for non-organic recommendations.

Paper Submission Guidelines (please read carefully):

All submissions must be written in English. We will consider three different submission types:

• Long papers (8 pages using ACM double-column format) should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. Each accepted long paper will also be allocated a presentation slot during the workshop. We expect the review process to be highly selective.

• Short papers (4 pages using ACM double-column format) typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance into this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking a strong theoretical foundation. Depending on the number of submissions, short papers may be either presented as oral talks or as posters. Note that rejected long paper submissions will not be considered for short papers.

• Abstracts (1-2 pages using ACM double-column format): This will be some novel and interesting ideas, experiments that can bring discussions and brain strorming to the workshop. These will not be published in CEUR but can be still accepted as one form of contribution to the workshop. 

The review process will be single-blind, so please make sure to have the author's names and affiliation in your submission. Each paper will receive two to three reviews from the program committee, according to reviewers' expertise.
