The BehavRec workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing open problems and innovative research approaches in this area. Some questions that motivate the workshop are: What kind of data should be used to design “persuasive” recommendations? How should they be delivered? What kind of strategies should be implemented to design timely and contextualized persuasive recommendations? What kind of theories should we rely on to design effective persuasive recommendations? How to support the user’s motivation and help them sustain the desired behavior in the long term? What contextual factors may affect the effectiveness of behavior change recommender systems and should be considered in design?
