UMAP is the successor to the biennial User Mo- deling (UM) and Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-based Systems (AH) conferences that were merged in 2009. It is organized under the auspices of User Modeling Inc. The conference spans a wide scope of topics related to user modeling, adaptation and persona- lization, considering: UMAP in the era of big data, social data, and pervasive computing; technological and socio-pedagogical underpinning of user modelling and user adaptive in- teraction; applications of adaptation and personalisation. The 22nd Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization will be held in Ho- tel Comwell Hvide Hus in Aalborg, North of Denmark. Aalborg is a multi-faceted city - full of contrasts. A city with a lust for life and all of its pleasures. It is also grand on a manageable scale. All the major city attractions are concentrated within easy distance. From fast-paced fun to peaceful oases. From a foaming draft beer to sublime gastronomy. From the Viking era to the Middle Ages, to modern art. Thanks for coming and welcome to Aalborg and Denmark.

  • Powerpoint Sunusu
    Jorn Utzon • Jørn Utzon, was born in the 9th of April 1918, Copenhagen. In 1937 he began studying architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art. In 1942 he returned to Copenhagen after his graduation. • Later he worked with the famous architect Alvar Aalto. As he became more experienced and popular, he fascinated lots of foreign countries with his magnificent architecture such as the Svaneke Water Tower and Middelboe House. Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia, 1973 • In 1957 Jørn Utzon won the competition of Designing the Sydney Opera House. His design was one of the 233 submissions from 32 countries, many of them from the most famous architects of that time. • The Danish architect won the competition to design the Sydney Opera House in 1957, but resigned from the project in 1966 after concerns over construction costs escalated. • . The building was completed without him in 1973. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II with an exciting opening ceremony. But Jørn Utzon, the architect who put the most effort into the project was not invited and his name was not mentioned at the opening ceremony. • However, on May 17, 1985, Jørn Utzon was awarded with the ’Companion of the Order of Australia’, one of Australia's most important honors and he was invited to redesign the entrance of the Sydney Opera House. • And In 2003, he was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Award, one of the most prestigious awards in architecture. • Back in Denmark, Utzon embarked on two other key architectural projects: the Bagsværd Church (Denmark) built between 1968 and 1976, and the Kuwait National Assembly, designed and built from 1971 onwards and rebuilt in 1993 after being destroyed by Iraqi forces during the Gulf War.

  • Arne Jensen , En Vejgaard Dreng Fortæller
    Arne Jensen. En Vejgaard dreng fortæller om sin tid i Vejgaard Fra 1934 – 1951. 1 En Vejgaard dreng fortæller. Arne Jensens beretning om hans tid i Vejgaard. Det hele begyndte i 1934. Onsdag før påske den 28. marts nedkom min mor, Signe Marie Jensen (født Poulsen) med mig. Klokken var 12.30 og til at bistå med fødslen var, foruden jordemoderen, fru Jensen, som boede i stueetagen. Fødslen var en hjemmefødsel og foregik i mine bedsteforældres hjem på Østervangsvej 29 i Vejgaard, som dengang var en selvstændig forstadskommune til Aalborg. Min far, Erhard Johan Wittrup Jensen, var ikke til stede ved fødselstidspunktet, idet han stadig sejlede som søfyrbøder og først afmønstrede 2 måneder senere og ifølge min mor medbragte en fin barnevogn. Senere fremstillede han både en barneseng til mig og en kommode til mit tøj for far var en dygtig håndværker. Min far og mor fik den første tid bolig i et værelse hos mormor og morfar, og mens de boede der, blev jeg døbt den 21. maj 1934 og fik navnet Arne Jensen. Min barnedåb den 21. maj 1934 2 Vejgaard – Frederikshavn Tur/retur Birthes fødsel Far havde intet arbejde og da han var fra Frederikshavn, søgte han og fik arbejde på Frederikshavn Skibsværft hen på sommeren 1934 så vi flyttede til Frederikshavn, hvor vi den første tid boede til leje hos en af fars ungdomskammerater. Her boede vi en kort tid, indtil far fandt en lejlighed på Emilievej og senere på Ingeborgvej. I september 1935 kom der familie forøgelse. Den 9. september fødtes min lillesøster, som kom til at hedde Birthe og hun blev ligesom min far Frederikshavner.

    RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEMS - CALL FOR PAPERS It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the Fifth International Conference on Research and Practical Issues of Enterprise Information Systems (CONFENIS 2011) to be held in Aalborg, Denmark, October 16-18, 2011. For more information please consult the CONFENIS 2011 Website: http://confenis2011.aau.dk. This conference is a joint effort of the Center for Industrial Production, Aalborg University and the IFIP Working Group on Enterprise Information Systems (WG 8.9). CONFENIS is a primary international event which provides an opportunity for Enterprise Information Systems academicians and practitioners in the world to gather, exchange ideas, and present original research and case studies in their fields. Scientists and practitioners are invited to address the current topics in the area or the research frontier at this unique international forum. IFIP WG 8.9 was inaugurated in 2006 and since then the field of EIS has matured and developed. The time has now come for a more rigid theorizing on EIS. Consequently the aim of this year’s event will be re-conceptualizing Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). We have an emphasis on design thinking and CONFENIS 2011 include a doctoral consortium on Design Science Research in Enterprise Information Systems. The conference this year has a particular interest in papers challenging the established concepts of enterprise information systems and the scope of the conference include workshops and panel proposals, conceptual

  • The Utzon Paradigm
    THE UTZON PARADIGM Roger Tyrrell Co-Director of the Jørn Utzon Research Network (JURN) and Adrian Carter Co- Director of the Jørn Utzon Research Network (JURN), Director of the Utzon Research Center, Aalborg University. RE-CONSIDERING UTZON “Comparable in subtle ways to the protean achievements of Le Corbusier, Utzon’s architecture emerges today as paradigmatic at many levels not least of which is the manner in which, from the beginning of his career, he would challenge the assumed superiority of Eurocentric culture.” (Frampton. K. 2003 p 6) This Paper strives to address three objectives. The first is to discuss the Utzon’s oeuvre from a paradigmatic perspective, the second to layer that paradigm within two distinct but interconnected frameworks. The third objective is to explore the fusion of this dichotomous paradigm through the concept of ‘poetic conjunction’. Jørn Utzon (1918-2008) is now internationally recognised as one of the most original, innovative and socially concerned of modern architects, perhaps the last great exponent of the humanistic Nordic tradition within modern architecture. He is the architect of what is still widely considered the most noble and humane housing built in Denmark, a simple, yet poetic modern church at Bagsværd and the most iconic and popular building of the 20th Century, his great unfinished masterpiece, the Sydney Opera House. (Fig 1) The Opera House has become the symbol of not just Sydney, but also Australia; that owes it origins to the maritime environment of Aalborg, where Jørn Utzon spent his youth, and the inspiration of his father Aage Utzon, an esteemed yacht designer.
