Call for talks: IxDA's Interaction 23 conference in Zurich. Submission deadline Sept 4, 2022.

by Anton Fedosov

Dear colleagues, On behalf of the program committee team, I’d like to draw your attention to the upcoming Interaction 23<https://interaction23.ixda.org/> week to be held in Zurich from 25th February until 3d March 2023. Interaction 23 is a premier venue for interaction design practitioners, researchers, and educators to discuss emergent practice-based challenges, share best practices in the discipline, and call for a change through design. It is organized by the Interaction Design Association (IxDA). This year’s CfP<https://interaction23.ixda.org/call-for-proposals> theme includes several topical areas highly relevant to HCI research community: decentralization by design, supporting decision-making practices, creating new work experiences, and lowering environmental impact of technologies. Check-out Interactions 23 call for proposals below and submit an idea for a talk, a workshop or a panel by 4th September 2022. Submissions are in a very lightweight format! Interaction 23 is a great way to establish and strengthen the links between academia and a wide community of (interaction) design practitioners. We hope many of you decide to participate. Best regards, Thomas Link, Karmen Franinović, Daniel Boos, Anton Fedosov, and the Interactions 23 Team. Dr. Anton Fedosov People and Computing Lab (ZPAC) antonf(a)ifi.uzh.ch<mailto:antonf@ifi.uzh.ch> antonfedosov.com<https://antonfedosov.com/> University of Zurich Department of Informatics Binzmühlestrasse 14 CH-8050 Zürich Switzerland Call for Proposals for Interaction 23 Allegra, Ciao, Salut and Grüezi, Greetings from Switzerland, the land where Grid systems, Helvetica and melted cheese are at home. And exactly because solid defining factors of the past are icons around the world, we invite you to join us in (re)defining the power of design in our Interaction 23 conference. Interaction 23 is a call – a call to formulate essential design positions about how we want to (re)define life across the planet. The inevitable transformations of personal lives and social structures have gathered momentum. To be defined/designed… The last two years saw the redefinition of collaborative efforts, workplace culture and collaboration in general. Moving into the era of ‘hybrid everything’, Interaction 23 - the conference to be defined by you - will support participants joining physically and virtually from all over the world. We seek talks, panels, sessions, and workshops by individuals from all walks of life, in any language, anywhere in the world. What can be redefined? What must be redesigned? Interaction design contributes to (re)designing the role of technology in perpetuating social and environmental justice and injustice, but also has much to learn from other disciplines. That’s why we’re inviting submissions from fields working with people, design, environment, and technology. We are looking for speakers offering diverse perspectives, specific case studies, visions or hands-on design approaches in one of the areas to be (re)defined by design: * design decision-making processes * decentralisation for the better * create new work experiences * the environmental impact of technology * estabslishing design ethics * (re)defined by design Read the call for proposals: https://interaction23.ixda.org/call-for-proposals<https://interaction23.ixda.org/call-for-proposals>

Call for papers: Programming Abstractions and Interactive Notations, Tools, and Environments 2022 (PAINT-22)

by Luigi De Russis

Programming Abstractions and Interactive Notations, Tools, and Environments 2022 (PAINT-22) Co-located with SPLASH 2022 (Mon 5 - Sat 10 December 2022 Auckland, New Zealand) https://2022.splashcon.org/home/paint-2022#Call-for-Papers Call for Papers and Demos (Submissions: Thu 1 Sep 2022) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= *** Introduction *** Programming environments that integrate tools, notations, and abstractions into a holistic user experience can provide programmers with better support for what they want to achieve. These programming environments can create an engaging place to do new forms of informational work - resulting in enjoyable, creative, and productive experiences with programming. *** Topics of Interest *** In the workshop on Programming Abstractions and Interactive Notations, Tools, and Environments (PAINT), we want to discuss programming environments that support users in working with and creating notations and abstractions that matter to them. We are interested in the relationship between people centric notations and general-purpose programming languages and environments. How do we reflect the various experiences, needs, and priorities of the many people involved in programming — whether they call it that or not? Areas of interest to PAINT include but are not limited to: * Design and implementation of program representations and their means of interaction for end-users of all ages * Design and implementation of visual programming environments * Block-based environments and their application * Projectional editors and their application * Languages and their environments with mixed notations * Meta tools or tool creation frameworks * Methods to support working with abstractions, such as example-based programming * Input and output devices for interacting with programming environments * Theories of the above *** Important Dates *** * Submissions: Thu 1 Sep 2022 * Notifications: Sun 2 Oct 2022 * Camera-ready: Mon 24 Oct 2022 * Workshop: during SPLASH 2022 (Mon 5 - Sat 10 December 2022), to be determined *** Format *** The actual format of PAINT will depend on it being held hybrid or online. ___Remote participation will be ensured.___ We plan to organize the workshop as a one-day workshop (or up to two days with shorter slots if online) as a combination of short presentations and demos combined with structured feedback inspired by the Writer’s Workshop format: * Participants are expected to have visited the materials beforehand. * A moderator leads and directs the discussion. * We review the pieces and their ideas one at a time. * In general, the authors whose work is under review are silent. * When discussing form, the following kinds of questions will be asked: - What did you gather / understand from the piece? - What aspects of the piece worked well to present the ideas? - What aspects need improvement? (These comments must be in the form of suggestions, not criticisms.) * When discussing the ideas, the following kinds of questions will be asked: - What are the ideas? - Which ideas seem like good ones (and why)? - Which ideas need improvement or elimination? (Make positive suggestions when you can.) * At the end the authors ask questions of the group. This is the basic format, but we adjust the flow according to the needs of the group and the way the discussion is going. It is formal to ensure all the important points are covered. For more information about the workshop format, please have a look at Richard P. Gabriel’s book “Writers’ Workshops & the World of Making Things” (http://dreamsongs.com/Files/WritersWorkshopTypeset.pdf). *** Types of Submissions *** PAINT welcomes two types of contributions: * Research papers should present new, previously unpublished research in one or more of the topics described above. Six to eight pages might be considered a good target for the contributions expected at PAINT. However, there is no page limit on submitted papers. As a general rule, the number of pages should match the size of the contribution. It is the responsibility of the authors to keep the reviewers interested and motivated to read the paper. Reviewers are under no obligation to read all or even a substantial portion of a paper if they do not find the initial part of it interesting. Papers must be prepared in LaTeX, adhering to the ACM format available at http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format using the sigplan option. * Demos show early implementations of novel and compelling tools, techniques, devices, and systems. Submissions should be in the form of a video no longer than 5 minutes that participants can watch prior to the workshop and then discuss. Papers and demos are to be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paint22). *** Publication *** Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. (To be confirmed: Proceedings will be post-workshop to give authors the opportunity to incorporate feedback obtained at the workshop.) AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
