Conference Navigator is a social system for conference attendees that provides personal scheduling, social linking and personalized recommendations of papers (this is, in fact, 11th year starting with AH2008 – http://halley.exp.sis.pitt.edu/cn3/portalindex.php ).

One role of the Conference Navigator is to provide access to the list of all papers (conference and workshops) along with all related information – slides, demos, paper source etc.  You could access papers in two ways:

The other role of the system is to serve as an extended list of authors and attendees

Conference Navigator is a user-adaptive system and offers personalized paper/people exploration and recommendation.

  • To enable recommendation, please, add papers that are of most interest to you to your personal UMAP 2020 schedule and follow most relevant authors and attendees. 

Note that only other attendees could see the list of attendees, while the list of authors is public. To make yourself and your past work more visible in the lists, consider adding more information about you to your profile – your Twitter, Google Scholar, etc.

While you could use the system without logging in, most of the advanced functionality (creating your schedule, recommendation, chat, etc) will be only available once you log in. Many authors and most of the attendees already have accounts in the Conference Navigator system. If you forgot your password, you can request reset it on the login page and click on a link that the system will send you by e-mail.

At the moment, Conference Navigator is not able to offer an SSL-protected registration so your password data are transferred to the site without encryption. While it is not a major concern for the system since it doesn’t collect or stores any sensitive information, it might be a problem if you re-use a password that you use in other systems. Please, do not reuse passwords, create a new password to work with the Conference Navigator!”

Conference Navigator collects your log data and uses it to support system functionality (i.e., show your schedule, generate recommendations, etc). Your data might be used to generate overall statistics (number of active users, number of schedule papers), but will not be used for any other purpose or transferred to another party without your explicit permission. You could limit the visibility of your data when editing the profile (i.e. restrict other people from seeing talks you planned to attend or your comments). At any time, you could request your account and all your data to be removed from the system by sending e-mail to conf.navigator@gmail.com
