The 10th International Conference on User Modeling (UM'2005) will be held from 24 to 29 of July 2005> in Edinburgh. UM'2005 will be held in Edinburgh, UK, and organized under the auspices of User Modeling, Inc.

UM'2005 is the latest in a conference series begun in 1986 and follows UM 2003 in Pittsburgh (2003) UM 2001 in Sonthofen (2001), UM'99 in Banff (1999), UM'97 in Sardinia (1997), UM'96 in Hawaii (1996), UM'94 in Cape Cod (1994), and several earlier workshops.

The User Modeling conference series is the major forum for presentation and discussion of latest developments in academic research on user modeling and adaptive systems as well as industrial experience in deploying adaptive and personalized systems in "real-world" applications. The International User Modeling Conferences bring together researchers and practitioners from a variety of fields including artificial intelligence, linguistics, psychology, and human-computer interaction. This conference series is characterized by a high quality technical program and by lively discussions in a pleasant environment.

UM'05 has been scheduled for late July to enable participants in The 12th International Conference on AI in Education (AIED'05) to also attend UM'05.

UM'05 has also been arranged to be in the same town (Edinburgh) as the Nineteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI'05) so that participants at UM'05 can also easily attend IJCAI'05.
