      <p>The 24th International Conference on User Modeling,
Adaptation, and Personalization (UMAP 2016) was held in
Halifax, Canada, on July 13-16, 2016. In addition to the
regular research papers track in which substantive research was
presented, the UMAP conference provided the opportunity
for presenting original and unpublished accounts of
innovative research ideas, preliminary results of recently started
research projects, industry showcases, and system
prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of user
modeling, adaptation and personalization, in the form of posters,
demonstrations, or late-breaking results. A total of 15
submissions were received on the rst call. The submissions
were reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. They
were assessed based on their originality and novelty,
potential contribution to the research eld, potential impact in
particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented
experiences, as well as their overall readability.</p>
      <p>A total of 11 papers were accepted, including 5 posters, 1
demo, and 5 late-breaking results papers, which are included
in these online extended proceedings of UMAP 2016. In
addition, 15 submissions to the main conference were accepted
for poster presentation and were published in the main
proceedings of UMAP 2016, published by Springer.</p>
      <p>We extend our thanks to all authors who submitted their
research to the UMAP 2016 Poster, Demo, and Late
Breaking Results track. We are also thankful to the following
members of the UMAP 2016 Program Committee, who
reviewed the papers submitted to the UMAP 2016 Poster,
Demo, and Late Breaking Results track.</p>
