1st CfP: 2022 EUSSET CSCW-Summer School - 22-26 August in Bolzano, Italy

by María Menéndez-Blanco

Dear list members, The EUSSET summer school on Computer Supported Cooperative Work will take place from the 22nd to the 26th of August in Bolzano. If you are a PhD or postdoc researcher in topics related to CSCW please consider applying - or forward it to those who might be interested. All the best, María ***************** Sixth International Summer School on Computer Supported Cooperative Work *2**2-26 August 2022, Bolzano, Italy.* *About* The CSCW Summer School provides young researchers (PhD or post-doc) with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of CSCW as a research field and community. The interaction among the participants (both teachers and students) will promote the generation of new ideas and their confrontation with the experiences they have acquired in their field research. *Aims and scope* After the introduction of the acronym CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) in the late 1980’ the themes connected with the understanding of collaborative work practices and the design of artefacts supporting collaboration have become pervasive in many scientific, business and social discourses. The domains in which CSCW can inform sociotechnical design are constantly growing and changing. This asks for a continuous elaboration of the *theoretical foundations* of the underpinning disciplines through a reflection on the outcomes of the *field studies*, on the *methods* applied in the social and technological investigations and on the *impact* of the technologies on practices they are made part of. The combination of these perspectives should be the patrimony of any researcher who wants to grasp the complex and subtle issues that are involved in the CSCW research area. *Program* The course will present central themes, methods and discussions within CSCW by experienced scholars in conversations with participants. The full program will be available on our website: www.eusset.eu/events/summer-school/. *Important dates* · - Application deadline: April 8, 2022 - Notification of acceptance: April 13, 2022 - Registration deadline: June 14, 2022 *Credits:* 7,5 ECTS *Location* The summer school will be held in Bolzano (Italy), and specifically at Maretsch Castle <https://goo.gl/maps/5w5iqWDVMGaesjc26>, a few minutes walking distance from the city centre. Most of Bolzano’s centre is a pedestrian area; and many hotels, the train station, and the main square are located within a one-kilometre radius. The city is in a beautiful alpine valley and surrounded by the Dolomites mountains. This scenic location makes it a popular touristic destination; if you plan to join us, we recommend booking your trip as early as possible.

IxD&A Journal - DOIs

by Carlo Giovannella

Dear all, this short email is to inform you that, since the editor of IxD&A Journal - ASLERD - became a member of Crossref, the Journal has now its own DOI, and from now on we will assign a DOI also to all papers that will be published in IxD&A Journal. As example you can find the DOI assigned to: IxD&A Journal -> link <http://ixdea.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php?s=102> or equivalently https://doi.org/10.55612/s-5002-000 (this can be used as URL of the landing page) Issue N.50 -> link <http://ixdea.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php?s=102&link=ToC_5…> or equivalently https://doi.org/10.55612/s-5002-050 papers -> have a look at the Table of contents (previous link) or to the pages containing the abstract of each paper that has been included in the issue. We have asked also to assign a DOI to the videos recorded during the "Meet the Authors" events but at the present it is not yet possible In the next future we will progressively back-extend the assignement of DOIs to all the papers published in the past on IxD&A Journal. If interested, from time to time you can have a check to the website of the journal. For future issues, we'll include the assigned DOI also in the downloadable .pdf files, together with the ORCID of the authors (if they will provide it). Kindest regards Carlo Giovannella

by Helma Torkamaan

--- Please forward to anyone who might be interested --- --- Apologies for cross-posting --- ----------------------------------------------------------------- # ** Call for LBR and Demos: 30th ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (UMAP ’22)** http://www.um.org/umap2022/ (*) Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are planning for a hybrid conference and will accommodate online presentations where needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ***Important Dates*** ============================ - Submission of demos and LBR papers: April 15, 2022 - Notification of acceptance: May 10, 2022 - Camera-ready versions of accepted papers: May 18, 2022 - Conference: July 4-7, 2022 **Note: The submissions times are 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth)** -------------------------------------------------------- ACM UMAP – User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization – is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB, and organized with User Modeling Inc. as the core Steering Committee, extended with past years' chairs. The proceedings are published by the ACM and will be part of the ACM Digital Library. ACM UMAP 2022 invites Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Results (LBR) papers of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes). You are encouraged to submit your Demo or LBR by April 15th, 2022. -------------------------------------------------------- ***Submission formats*** ============================ For more details, see below! *# Demonstrations* - Max. 5 pages + max. 1 additional page for references - (Required) unpublished page describing how they would present the demo virtually and/or in person - (Optional) video or external material demonstrating the system - Publication in ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings - Presentation as a (potentially virtual) demo + poster at the conference *# Late-Breaking Results* - Max. 7 pages + max. 2 additional pages for references - (NEW: required) unpublished page with a list of questions the authors aim to get feedback on - Publication in ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings - Presentation as a (potentially virtual) poster at the conference **Submission via** : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 ***Demonstrations*** ============================ Demonstrations will showcase research prototypes and commercially available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference. Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase implementations and to get valuable feedback from the community. Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how these will be demonstrated on-site as well as online. To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or YouTube) or any external material related to the demo (e.g., shared code on GitHub). Descriptions of demonstrations should have a length of max. 3 pages + 1 page of references in the new ACM single-column style. On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2022. Given uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, this extra page should also describe if/how the demo can be presented in a virtual setting (e.g. with a video or a live link to the system). ***Late-Breaking Results*** ============================ Late-Breaking Results (LBR) are research-in-progress that must contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization. In addition, papers introducing recently started research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well. We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit a late-breaking work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. Late-Breaking Results papers have a length of up to 7 pages + 2 pages of references in the new ACM single-column style and will be presented to the conference as (in-person and virtual) posters. On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a list of questions that the authors aim to get feedback on during the poster session at UMAP 2022. -------------------------------------------------------- ***Submission and Review Process*** ============================ Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized before submission. Papers (demo and LBR) must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. The templates and instructions are available here: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. Authors should submit their papers as single-column. The templates are available here (we strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting): - LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column): https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t… - Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column): https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-master-… - MS Word: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submissio… Note: Accepted papers will require a further revision to meet the requirements and page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the papers will be provided after acceptance. The ACM Code of Ethics gives the UMAP program committee the right to (desk-)reject papers that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, employ unethical research practices, or uncritically present outcomes/implications that clearly disadvantage minority communities. Submit your papers in PDF format via EasyChair for ACM UMAP 2022 Demos and Late-Breaking Results at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 (choose *New Submission* and make sure to select *UMAP 2022 Demo and LBR* track). The review process will be single-blind, i.e. authors' names should be included in the papers. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall readability. Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the formatting guidelines will be returned without review. -------------------------------------------------------- ***Publication and Presentation*** ============================ Accepted Demo and Late-Breaking Results papers will be published in the ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Papers will be accessible from the UMAP '22 website through ACM OpenToc Service for one year after publication in the ACM Digital Library. All categories will be presented at the poster reception of the conference, in the form of a poster and/or a software demonstration following poster format. This form of presentation will provide presenters with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the conference. Due to the uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the poster session may be partially or fully virtual. **To be included in the Proceedings, at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.** -------------------------------------------------------- ***Late-Breaking Results and Demo Chairs*** ============================ - Cataldo Musto, University of Bari, Italy - Veronika Bogina, University of Haifa, Israel - Contact: umap2022-lpd(a)um.org -------------------------------------------------------- ***Follow UMAP 2022 on Social Media*** ============================ - Twitter: @UMAPconf #umap2022 (https://twitter.com/UMAPconf) - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/acmumap

Throughout three decades, the Conference has attracted leading researchers of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from all over the world, offering a forum to present and disseminate new technological results, paradigms, and visions for HCI and user interfaces. Because of advanced technology and new possibilities for user interaction, AVI has broadened the topics it covers, still keeping its primary focus on the conception, design, implementation, and evaluation of novel visual interfaces. While rooted in Italy, AVI is an actual international conference concerning the nationality of participants, authors of papers, and program committee members. The mixture of carefully selected research contributions paired with cordial Italian hospitality creates a unique conference atmosphere, which has made AVI an internationally recognized name. AVI 2022 is under the patronage of Sapienza Università di Roma, Dipartimento di Informatica, Italy. We look forward to your participation in AVI2022!
