International Workshop on Decision Making and Recommender
Systems (DMRS 2014)
http://dmrsworkshop.inf.unibz.it/
While most research in recommender systems is conducted in recommendation techniques,
which boils down to rating prediction algorithms, there is still too little discussion on the
impact of the supported user interaction and its effect on the decision making behaviors that
are enabled and supported. User interaction and decision-making support are however critical
in recommender system acceptance. Hence it is important to design the interaction while
understanding its impact on the user decision-making behavior and heuristic in order to
support an effective process. Therefore with this workshop we aim to go beyond the analysis
of recommendation techniques and further merit the research attention from both
recommender systems and human factor.
This workshop aims to bring researchers and practitioners together from user interaction,
decision-making and recommender system research communities, especially focusing on
integrating research interests across different communities. Also, we aim to provide an
opportunity for discussing approaches, models, research results and case studies addressing a
broad range of issues related to recommender system and user interaction. We are specifically
interested in discussing the interdisciplinary research challenges and emerging research
directions.
The proceedings of DMRS 2014 workshop include a total of 13 papers - 6 poster papers
and 7 extended abstracts of invited presentations. The call for papers attracted a lot of
attention from the research community and 6 high-quality submissions from all over the
world were received. Considering that the interdisciplinary research between recommender
system and decision-making is still in its infancy stage, the program committee decided to
accept the 6 poster papers.
The workshop program was mainly structured by invited presentations. We invited 9 high-
profile scholars who gave 7 talks. Each talk last by 75 minutes and was followed by a 30-
minute discussion. The talks are multidisciplinary and try to address the emerging research
topics between recommender system and decision-making. The workshop chairs and invited
speakers served as program committee for reviewing the poster submissions. The poster
papers were peer reviewed and selected based on the quality and relevance to the workshop.
The invited speakers, that are also members of the program committee, are listed as follows:
• Anthony Jameson, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Germany
• Fabio Del Missier, University of Trieste, Italy
• Marko Tkalcic, Johannes Kepler University, Austria
• Giovanni Semeraro and Marco de Gemmis, University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy
• Paolo Viappiani, Universite' Pierre et Marie Curie, France
• Cleotilde Gonzalez, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
• Alexander Felfernig,Graz University of Technology, Austria
• Ido Erev, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel
Thanks to all the invited speakers, poster presenters and workshop participants, the DMRS
2014 had been successfully held at the Faculty of Computer Science, Free University of
Bozen-Bolzano in Italy, with the participation of around 30 people. Our special thanks goes to
the funding support of this workshop from the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. We are
looking forward to the next edition of the DMRS workshop.
