www.mis4tel-conference.net<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/> info(a)mis4tel-conference.net<mailto:info@mis4tel-conference.net> Hybrid Conference 11th International Conference in Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/> ________________________________ Salamanca (Spain) | 6th-8th October, 2021<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/> [cid:6FAA4272-654D-4BFA-ABC5-4E5D18565221@homenet.telecomitalia.it]<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/> SCOPE Education is the cornerstone of any society and it serves as one of the foundations for many of its social values and characteristics. State-of-the-art and novel methodologies and technologies allow researchers, designers, and domain experts to pursue Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) solutions targeting not only cognitive processes but also motivational, personality or emotional factors. Nowadays, we can identify two main legs, providing necessary and complementary strengths to a TEL oriented design process: appropriate technologies should be applied, and appropriate methods should guide such application. Technologies in TEL are capable of delivering smart, personalized, tailored, and motivating learning solutions. Methods are coming from different fields, such as education psychology, medicine, computer science, and from diverse communities, where collaboration and co-working is used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, Learning Analytics can help manage available (big) data and allow to augment learning opportunities for learners and educators alike, for instance by supporting self-regulated learning or adaptation of the learning material. As to these topics, the annual appointment of MIS4TEL established itself as a consolidated fertile forum where scholars and professionals from the international community, with a broad range of expertise in the TEL field, share results and compare experiences. The 10th edition of the conference calls for novel research in TEL and expands the topics of the previous editions, highlighting the role of the most recent methods and technological opportunities (ranging from Artificial Intelligence and agent-based systems to Robotics, Virtual Reality, Internet of Things and wearable solutions, among others) and looking for papers discussing how they can be employed to create novel approaches to TEL, innovative TEL solutions and valuable TEL experiences. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL (e.g., engineering, computer science, education, medicine) from this multidisciplinary field. MIS4TEL 2021 will be held in Salamanca (Spain) on October 6th-8th, 2021, in parallel with the PAAMS'21 International Conference<http://www.paams.net/>.

INTERACT is held every two years. The theme of INTERACT 2021 is “Sense, Feel, Design”, highlighting new challenges of interaction design. Technology is today more and more widespread, pervasive and blended in the world we live in. On one side, devices that sense humans' activities have the potential to provide an enriched interaction. On the other side, the user experience can be further enhanced by exploiting multisensorial technologies. Not only the traditional human senses of vision and hearing, but also senses of touch, smell, and taste, as well as emotions are to be taken into account when designing for future interactions. INTERACT 2021 is the right venue to debate such new challenges. Another new topic of this edition is Human-AI Interaction, focusing on the design of human-centered intelligent systems. Conference proceedings are published in Springer LNCS series and are available in the Springer Digital Library. We invite you to submit your original work to INTERACT 2021 in the following tracks by *April 16th, 2021*: - Short Papers - Posters - Interactive Demos - Courses - Doctoral Consortium - Industrial Experiences - Panels All contributions are peer reviewed, juried or curated by the members of the international program committee. INTERACT 2021 will be held in Bari, a beautiful city on the Adriatic coast of Southern Italy. The hotel Villa Romanazzi Carducci will host the conference. With its liberty-period villa immersed in a nice park characterized by a variety of trees along various pathways, this hotel provides a great context for welcoming the INTERACT participants. All precautions to ensure participants’ health safety will be taken. The evolution of the pandemic will be carefully monitored and those who could not travel due to COVID-19 will be allowed to present and participate online to the conference.

Hybrid International CHItaly 2021: 3rd Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers / 11–13 July 2021 / Bolzano, Italy

by chitaly2021

================================================ CHItaly 2021 - Frontiers of HCI CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM PAPERS The International Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter ================================================ 11–13 July 2021 https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/ Location: From Bozen-Bolzano through the Internet to the World In cooperation with SIGCHI Italy and ACM-SIGCHI ================================================ ================================================ THEME ================================================ The theme for the 14th Edition of the Biannual Conference (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it) of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (http://sigchitaly.eu/en/general-info/) was defined in summer 2019 as “Frontiers of HCI”. At that time, we were thinking about disciplinary and national boundaries. Little did we know of the many frontiers this hybrid conference would have to overcome to create a safe space for HCI related discussions. To overcome this challenge, CHItaly combines physical and digital events while providing synchronous and asynchronous spaces for dialogue. So far, CHItaly has physically hosted HCI scholars working in the Mediterranean and other European countries. The aim of CHItaly 2021 is to connect research and geographical areas, so as to explore frontiers and cross-fertilise HCI research in practice. From this perspective, a hybrid conference can become an incredible experimentation space which you are all invited to shape. To reach its aims, the conference 1. solicits contributions from diverse research communities relevant to HCI, such as Science and Technology Studies, Technology Enhanced Learning, Interaction Design and Digital Fabrication, Design and the Arts, besides traditional fields such as computer science, engineering and psychology 2. opens its physical and digital doors to industry, civic societies and citizens. Join CHItaly either virtually or physically to expand the frontiers of HCI. ================================================ DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM: SPECIFICATIONS ================================================ The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide a setting in which PhD students can present and receive feedback on their work. Students at different stages of their research will be able to articulate and discuss their problem statement, goals, methods, and results. The Doctoral Consortium also aims to provide students with useful guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and the other student attendees. Finally, the Doctoral Consortium seeks to motivate students in the development of their scientific curiosity and facilitate their networking within the research community. The topics of the Doctoral Consortium are the same as CHItaly’s. The main scope of the consortium is to enable PhD students to interact with their peers, as well as with more senior researchers, on a wide range of Human-Computer Interaction related topics, and related to the conference theme. The consortium is open to PhD students worldwide at any stage in their research. Students at an initial stage should be able to challenge their ideas and current research directions. Students at a more mature stage should be able to present their thesis and get advice on ways to further improve and better communicate their contributions and findings. Participation is particularly encouraged from PhD students who are close to proposing a thesis. ================================================ PAPER FORMAT AND PROCEEDINGS ================================================ Submitted papers must be in English and single-author, but the name of the supervisor could be mentioned within the paper. Papers must be 5-page long using the 1-column CEUR template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt. Papers must: identify a significant problem in the field of research outline the current status of the problem domain and related solutions describe the contribution of the student by presenting the proposed approach and the results achieved so far Accepted papers will be collected and published in CEUR-WS proceedings. Each author of an accepted paper will present orally his/her contribution the first day of the conference. ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES ================================================ Submissions: April 23th Notifications to contributors: May 14th Camera-ready/final version deadline: May 24th Doctoral consortium: July 12th ================================================ SUBMISSIONS: HOW TO ================================================ DC papers must be sent via mail to dc.chitaly2021(a)unibz.it with 'DC submission' in the e-mail subject. ================================================ FURTHER INFORMATION ================================================ If you have any question, please write an email to the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs: Daniela Fogli, University of Brescia, Italy, email: daniela.fogli(a)unibs.it Fabio Paternò, CNR-ISTI, Italy, email: fabio.paterno(a)isti.cnr.it ================================================ CHITALY 2021 TRACKS ================================================= This year, CHItaly 2021 has several tracks, besides the track for doctoral consortium papers: long and short research papers, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html workshops, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/workshops.html interactive experience, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html

CfP Reminder: The online ECSCW 2021 workshop on Transferable UX on June 8, 2021

by Anton Fedosov

Dear colleagues, As a reminder, there is still time to participate in our workshop. The deadline for contributions is extended until Friday, April 23 and the submissions are really lightweight (2-4 pages position paper). We hope that it could be of interest to many of you. The details are below. The online ECSCW 2021 workshop on “Challenges of transferring UX designs and insights across products and services”<https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/zpac/ws-ecscw2021.html> aims to bring together practitioners and scholars working on conceptualization, maintenance, and preservation of transferable UX artifacts within their organizations. In this workshop, we aim on synthesizing the challenges and highlighting opportunities of transferring UX insights while developing multiple products and services. We ask: “How can we depart from a paradigm of designing a single product and turn to the holistic UX design approach at work?” Instead of focusing on a product, we call UX researchers, designers, experts and practitioners, to center on an ecology of artifacts, e.g. a portfolio. This, in turn, may help to improve existing work environments and to develop novel integrated work environments, where many actors need to effectively coordinate their actions using a myriad of tools. That change, ultimately, may lead not only to improved quality of work and create pleasurable experiences for the end-users, but also establish a ground for successful company-wide collaboration when it comes to preserving and transferring UX insights and rules. We call for participants from diverse backgrounds to contribute to a critical discussion at the intersection of design, enterprise architecture, product/portfolio management, and agile software development to create a UX research agenda for designing integrated digital work environments, unpacking development, users, and change perspectives to aid establishing long-living UX practices that extend across projects and overtime. More details: https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/zpac/ws-ecscw2021.html HOW TO APPLY? To apply, please submit a position paper (2-4 pages, template<https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/ecscw-2021_word/>) explaining your interests and experience in transferable UX in relation to the workshop theme<https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/zpac/ws-ecscw2021/ws-theme.html> in PDF format by April 23, 2021 by emailing it to transferable-ux(a)ifi.uzh.ch<mailto:transferable-ux@ifi.uzh.ch> . To promote broader participation from UX design practitioners (e.g., UX researchers, UX designers, Product Managers, Portfolio Managers, Enterprise Architects, Human Factors Specialists), and design leaders, we offer the option of submitting alternative material in the form of a design portfolio, a case study, a poster of a relevant project, or the like. KEY DATES Submission deadline: April 23, 2021, 23:59 AoE Notification: April 30, 2021 Workshop: June 8, 2021 ATTENDANCE The workshop organizers will arrange a virtual program for up to 20 participants.

[CFP] MRB-EICS 2021 - Management of Risks and Benefits when Engineering Interactive Digital Systems

by Davide Spano

Apologize for cross- posting --- Management of Risks and Benefits when Engineering Interactive Digital Systems --- IFIP WG 2.7/13.4 workshop at EICS 2021 Traditionally, most UX designers, computer scientists and software engineers have not had to consider risks to the public from using their systems. However, the current evolution of digital systems in terms of the increasing number of users, their growing complexity and the pervasiveness of Artificial Intelligence techniques allow common HCI designers and engineers to build systems that create risks for the individual, groups of people, or even to the entire society. In this workshop, we aim at collecting the views and the current practice in the management of the risks and benefits in the engineering of interactive digital systems. Such a view will draw the way for new research, methods, and tools to incorporate the risk analysis into the current engineering and design practices. ## Important Dates - April 30, 2021 – Paper submission deadline - May 7, 2021 – Paper notification deadline - May 14, 2021 – Camera-ready deadline - Between June 7 and June 11, 2021 – Workshop day ## Topics and Scope The workshop will focus on the following topics, which are not properly covered by the current research, methods and tools for engineering digital systems: -Exploring the risks in digital system interaction and their implications. In particular, we would like to identify the risks drivers and to build a categorization of the risks they produce. - Factors that impact the risk-benefit analysis and the information required. In this category, we would like to list the available scientific theories, the techniques for building a shared knowledge on such factors (e.g., databases, models and tools). - Accounting the risks put by the application of Artificial Intelligence algorithms in digital interactive systems. They include (but not limited to): transparency, interactive control, controllability and automation, explainability, biases in algorithms and data, decision support design, accountability, fairness and digital sobriety. - Techniques and interfaces for helping and/or nudging people on perceiving and understanding the risks in interacting with digital systems. ## Target Audience Different communities and disciplines are involved in developing such a topic, both in the research and in the development practice. Besides the UI engineering community, we expect relevant contributions by designers, safety and privacy experts, sociologists, psychologists, ethicists, etc. The workshop’s ultimate goal is to set-up a shared view on the risks related to the interaction, their severity, and their likelihood. ## Goals and Expected Outcome The workshop will last one day. We will start with a brief introduction of the elicited topics and a sequence of presentations of the different position papers in the first half. The second half will contain group activities for reaching a global consensus among the participants, which will result in the draft of a joint position paper, authored by all participants, which will depict the challenges and the opportunities raised in the discussion and the group’s view on future research in future risk and benefits management for interactive system engineering. The finalised version of such paper will be submitted for publication in an HCI journal. ## Submissions We solicit the submission of a two-page abstract describing the view and identifying the risks in one or more workshop topics. We also encourage to propose further applications of risk management in engineering interactive digital systems. The abstract may include the description of a major challenge or opportunity set by risk management and/or the analysis of related work in the literature. The abstracts will serve as the basis for the discussion during the workshop. Papers must be submitted through EasyChair and formatted according to LNCS guidelines ( https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). We plan to publish revised papers electronically (e.g CEUR-WS) after the workshop.

At home, at school, at work, in free time and beyond: people have been asked to change their habits, adopting a lifestyle that can protect the collective well-being. The persistence of the emergency situation and the lockdown is putting a strain on the population; among the main problems, we cite social distancing for the most vulnerable individuals, distance learning for children, health pressure for doctors and patients, forced closures for traders, the uncontrolled spread of fake news that confuse the population, the tourism stop that hinders culture, etc. The ongoing change requires the adoption of innovative solutions to tackle emerging problems and technology offers great opportunities for social good. The whole society can make use of technological tools to the health, physical, mental and psychological well-being safeguard of individuals. The goal of this session is to assess the state of tools and methods to support the population and institutions during the management of the COVID19 emergency, creating new opportunities for the future.

INTERACT 2021 - 10 days left to submit a contribution

by Paolo Buono

-- apologies for cross-posting -- Don't miss the opportunity to participate in the INTERACT 2021 conference by submitting a contribution to the following tracks by 16 April: - Short Papers - Posters - Interactive Demos - Courses - Doctoral Consortium - Industrial Experiences - Panels Further information is available on the conference website (https://interact2021.org) and in the CfP reported below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTERACT 2021 Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2021, Bari, Italy https://interact2021.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTERACT 2021 is the 18th International Conference promoted by the IFIP Technical Committee 13 on Human–Computer Interaction. INTERACT is held every two years. The theme of INTERACT 2021 is “Sense, Feel, Design”, highlighting new challenges of interaction design. Technology is today more and more widespread, pervasive and blended in the world we live in. On one side, devices that sense humans' activities have the potential to provide an enriched interaction. On the other side, the user experience can be further enhanced by exploiting multisensorial technologies. Not only the traditional human senses of vision and hearing, but also senses of touch, smell, and taste, as well as emotions are to be taken into account when designing for future interactions. INTERACT 2021 is the right venue to debate such new challenges. Another new topic of this edition is Human-AI Interaction, focusing on the design of human-centered intelligent systems. Conference proceedings are published in Springer LNCS series and are available in the Springer Digital Library. We invite you to submit your original work to INTERACT 2021 in the following tracks by *April 16th, 2021*: - Short Papers - Posters - Interactive Demos - Courses - Doctoral Consortium - Industrial Experiences - Panels All contributions are peer reviewed, juried or curated by the members of the international program committee. INTERACT 2021 will be held in Bari, a beautiful city on the Adriatic coast of Southern Italy. The hotel Villa Romanazzi Carducci will host the conference. With its liberty-period villa immersed in a nice park characterized by a variety of trees along various pathways, this hotel provides a great context for welcoming the INTERACT participants. All precautions to ensure participants’ health safety will be taken. The evolution of the pandemic will be carefully monitored and those who could not travel due to COVID-19 will be allowed to present and participate online to the conference.
