MOTIVATION
==========
During our life, we are involved in a huge variety of activities that we
constantly repeat associated to diverse contexts. These activities can be
related to domestic routines, working tasks, everyday urban-life, and so on.
However, not all users have the same capabilities. For example, whilst
travelling in public transportation can be trivial for some users,
it can be quite hard for others (i.e., elder people, or those with cognitive
limitations or motor disabilities). The same happens with most daily routines.

Similarly, during each day, there are a lot of decisions to be taken, both in
regular situations (e.g. "what would I buy for tonight dinner"?) and in
unexpected ones (e.g.: "the underground is not working, how will I go home
now?"). While some users can take this type of decisions with an insignificant
effort, it may not be easy at all for others. For example, it seems to be more
complicated for users with special needs (such as those with psychological or
cognitive limitations), or users facing situation for the first time.

The main aim of this workshop is to bring light about how adaptive methods and
techniques can be used to help users (with some kind of either disability or
specific need) to accomplish daily tasks and to take decisions, both in foreseen
and unforeseen situations, considering their capabilities, preferences and
needs in each context. In this direction, modeling user's capabilities,
limitations and needs is an essential task.

The workshop targets work on analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of
adaptive models, methodologies, systems or technologies to assist users with
special/specific needs daily, with special emphasis on major trends in: modeling
user features, limitations and special/specific needs; representing daily
activities and potential problems that may arise; designing and building
adaptive assistants for daily routines; and evaluating the use of this type of
assistants. The workshop will focus on the following key questions
to be discussed:

* Which are the difficulties and the potential solutions to help users
to carry out routine tasks?
* How can usual tasks and expected/unexpected situations be modeled?
* Which aspects of the user (capabilities, preferences, personality, cognitive
limitations, motor disabilities, affective states, context, etc.) should be
taken into account to assist to users in their daily routines at different
contexts, such as home, work, transport, learning, leisure, etc.?
* What adaptation methods and techniques are more appropriate for adaptive
assistance in daily activities?
* How should potential trade-offs of adaptive systems (e.g. proactivity,
predictability, privacy) be managed, especially in the context of adaptive
assistants for daily routines?
* How can recommendations of context-based adaptive assistants for daily
routines be evaluated?
* Which experiences exist in this research area?
