Special Issue of the

ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems on HUMAN DECISION MAKING AND RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS

Main submission deadline: February 29th, 2012

http://tiis.acm.org/special-issues.html

AIMS AND SCOPE

A primary function of recommender systems is to help people make good choices and decisions. But in research on recommender systems, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to the decision making processes of users. Instead, it has focused mainly on (a) ways of eliciting and modeling users' preferences and (b) algorithms for identifying items that a user is likely to evaluate positively. Even systems that do explicitly aim to support the decision making process could benefit from greater use of knowledge about human decision making. And the growing amount of research on users' interaction with recommender systems, which aims to enhance their usability and acceptance, can be expanded to consider support for specific aspects of decision making.

This special issue will highlight research that explicitly considers ways in which an understanding of human choice and decision making can benefit research and practice on recommender systems. The dimensions listed below indicate the range of work that is relevant to the special issue. In case of doubt about the relevance of your topic, please contact the special issue associate editors.

TOPIC DIMENSIONS

Types of Decision Made by Users of Recommender Systems

- Decisions about items in some domain (e.g., products,

documents, ...)

- Decisions about actions performed as part of the domain-level

decision making process (e.g., what information to divulge or

to acquire)

Aspects of the Recommendation Process

- Acquiring information about users' preferences

- Modeling users' preferences

- Provision of decision-relevant information

- Presentation and explanation of recommendations

- Adaptation to the interaction context

- Special characteristics of recommendation to groups

- ...

Aspects of Human Choice and Decision Making

- What people desire in a decision making process

- Roles of justification and argumentation in decision making

- Descriptive models of choice

- Heuristics and biases

- The nature of preferences

- Temporal aspects of decision making

- Forms of social influence

- Roles of emotion and mood

- Effects of learning from experience

- Negotiation in decision making

- Factors that influence decision making (e.g., culture, mood,

time pressure ...)

- ...

Evaluation Criteria for Recommender Systems

- Decision quality

- Minimization of effort and stress

- Trust and confidence

- ...

Nature of the Research Contribution

- Novel functionality inspired by an understanding of human

decision making

- Empirical results concerning decision making with recommender

systems

- Innovation in research methodology (e.g., concerning ways of

evaluating recommender systems or observing users' decision

making processes)

- ...

ABOUT ACM TiiS

TiiS (pronounced "T double-eye S") is a recently founded ACM journal for research about intelligent systems that people interact with. The journal's procedures and infrastructure have been designed to combine the traditional quality and depth of ACM journals with the efficiency and predictability of the best-run conferences.
