CALL FOR PAPERS -- WFIOT 23 -- Future Platforms for Cloud-Edge Continuum – Theoretical Foundations and Practical Considerations

by Publicity Chair FedCSIS

Call for Papers Future Platforms for Cloud-Edge Continuum – Theoretical Foundations and Practical Considerations https://wfiot2023.iot.ieee.org/future-platforms-cloud-edge-continuum-%E2%80… Special Session (SPES-01) organized within the scope of 9th IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things (IEEE WFIoT2023) Aveiro, Portugal, October, 12-27, 2023https://wfiot2023.iot.ieee.org/ Internet of Things (IoT) brings fundamental changes to all sectors of society and economy. However, realization of the IoT vision requires data processing (stream, static, or both) in an “optimal location” within the cloud-edge continuum. Within such continuum, data can be produced, stored, and processed “anywhere”. For instance, (1) far/nano-edge devices produce data act upon it locally, (2) fog nodes process data stream locally, while (3) cloud/HPC facilities deliver “unlimited” processing capabilities, need, for instance, to train (large) AI models. Taking into account the, systematically increasing, scale of IoT deployments the question arises: what capabilities must be facilitated by future IoT platforms, which will have to manage processes in multi-stakeholder, multi-cloud, federated, large-scale IoT ecosystems. Here, key challenges are related to the fact that such platforms (encompassing operating systems, up to applications), will have to jointly leverage continuous progress of multiple enabling technologies, e.g.: 5G/6G networking, privacy and security, distributed computing, artificial intelligence, trust management, autonomous computing, distributed/smart applications, data management, etc. Moreover, they must facilitate intelligent (autonomous) orchestration of physical/virtual resources and tasks, by realizing them at the “optimal location” within the ecosystem (e.g., closer to where data is produced). To achieve this, resource-aware frugal AI is needed, to facilitate self-awareness and decision support, across heterogeneous ecosystem. Finally, it is also absolutely necessary that resource management will consider the CO2 footprint of the ecosystem and efficiently deploy data and tasks and also use multi-owner, heterogeneous sources of renewable energy. In this context, contributions addressing theoretical and practical aspects of the following topics are invited (this list is, obviously, not exhaustive): * IoT architectures for domain agnostic user-aware, self-aware, (semi-)autonomous edge-cloud continuum platforms, including proposals for novel decentralized topologies, ad-hoc resource federation, time-triggered behaviors * Foundations for next generation of higher-level (meta) operating systems facilitating efficient use of computing capacity across edge-cloud continuum * Resource aware AI, including frugal AI, bringing intelligence to the edge-cloud continuum platforms (and ecosystems) * Cognitive frameworks leveraging AI-techniques to improve optimization of infrastructure usage and services and resources orchestration * Efficient streaming Big Data processing within large-scale IoT ecosystems * Interoperability solutions for multi-user edge-cloud continuum platforms, capable of coping with systematically increasing complexity of connecting vast numbers of heterogeneous devices * Federated data spaces approach for improved data governance, sovereignty and sharing * Privacy, security, trust and data governance in competitive scenarios * CO2 footprint reduction and efficient use of green energy in edge-cloud continuum ecosystems * Practical aspects of resource orchestration within highly heterogeneous, large-scale edge-cloud continuum ecosystems * Intent-based networking and its application to IoT * Swarm intelligence for IoT-edge-cloud continuum Important Dates: * Paper submission: July 6, 2023 * Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2023 * Camera-Ready Paper Submission Deadline: August 20, 2023 Paper preparation and submission: Paper should be six (6) pages in length and follow the instruction provided for the main Conference. The conference allows up to two additional pages for a maximum length of eight (8) pages with payment of extra page charges once the paper has been accepted. Organizers: * Rajkumar Buyya, The University of Melbourne, and Manjrasoft Pvt Ltd, Melbourne, Australia * Maria Ganzha, Warsaw University of technology and Systems Research Institute * Levent Gürgen, Kentyou, Grenoble, France * Carlos Palau, Universitat Politecnica de Valencia * Marcin Paprzycki, Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences * Tarik Taleb,The University of Oulu and MOSAIC Lab, Oulu, Finland

by Sayan Sarcar

Designing Conversational User Interfaces for Older Adults A workshop to held at the ACM SIGCHI CUI 2023 conference (Conversational User Interfaces) Call for Submissions and for Participation This multidisciplinary workshop aims to tackle the significant gaps in theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and exploration of new paradigms within the research and design of Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs) for Older Adults (OAs). We also aim to build research capacity by bringing together researchers and practitioners across several disciplines and industries who are actively working or having an interest toward understanding older adults’ use of and need for CUIs. We invite researchers from various fields to present their work on and collectively engage in synthesizing and collating findings from different disciplines, and to discuss barriers and approaches to designing CUIs that are usable, adoptable, personally, and culturally relevant to OAs. Given the nascent phase of this community, and our goal of encouraging a grassroots approach to defining this space, we welcome position papers, short research papers, or short expressions of interest relevant to the broad space of designing CUIs for OAs. There is no format for the expression of interest - those wishing to participate in the workshop without a submitted paper should simply contact the organizers via email indicating through a short paragraph their prior experience and/or interest as relevant to the workshop, alongside their professional website or scholar page. For those interested in submitting a formal paper, we welcome short papers describing e.g. a research study, a novel system, a new theoretical contribution, or position papers that highlight new or ongoing challenges in the field. Submitted papers will be lightly reviewed by the organizing committee within 10 days of submission (there is no formal deadline). Accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website. We recommend papers to be no more than 4 pages long, following the CHI Extended Abstract format). Submissions, expressions of interest, and any other queries related to the workshop should be sent to: cui-oa2023(a)cs.toronto.edu Submissions will be reviewed according to the fit with the workshop topic and potential to contribute to the workshop goals.

Subject line: VL/HCC 2023 call for posters (due June 28) and graduate consortium (due July 7)

by Rebecca Krosnick

VL/HCC 2023: IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2023 The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing is the premier international forum for research on this topic. Established in 1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory, application, and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling, and communicating, which are easier to learn, use, and understand by people. The 2023 symposium is scheduled to take place October 2-6 in Washington, DC, USA. VL/HCC 2023 is 100% Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (TCMC). ---------------------- We invite you to consider submitting work to our posters/showpieces and graduate consortium tracks: Posters and Showpieces Submission deadline: June 28, 2023 AoE The Posters and Showpieces track (called the “showpieces track” for short) offers an interactive opportunity to discuss recent research, experiences, challenges, ideas, prototypes, and accomplishments with the VL/HCC community. Formerly called “posters and demonstrations”, the category now includes posters, videos, downloadable apps, handouts, electronic devices, physical prototypes, or any other artifacts that facilitate meaningful interactions with other conference attendees. A broad range of topics are appropriate for showpieces. The following non-exhaustive list illustrates the possibilities: - Current research in progress. This might include: - Original or innovative technologies or prototypes that may or may not be accompanied by an evaluation - Short qualitative or quantitative studies - Reflections, provocations, or proposals about theory or methods - Results presented in the main VL/HCC conference - Results already presented at another conference or published in a journal - Existing commercial products and/or services - Efforts aimed at integrating research into education - Efforts aimed at commercializing research Showpieces can help accomplish many goals, such as: - Helping graduate student presenters to meet faculty from other universities - Building community interest in a novel way of approaching a research topic - Starting conversations that could lead to new collaborations - Demonstrating to industry sponsors that a specific line of research has practical applications - Showcasing products or services available for sale More details: https://conf.researchr.org/track/vlhcc-2023/vlhcc-2023-posters-and-showpiec… Graduate Consortium Submission deadline: July 7, 2023 AoE The primary goal of this year’s event is to stimulate graduate students’ and other researchers’ thinking about “Low-Code / No-Code Development”. This development paradigm enables the creation and deployment of fully functional applications using visual abstractions and interfaces and requiring little or no procedural code to empower users in creating software applications for constrained domains, even if they lack a programming background. This goal aligns with the theme of the 2023 VL/HCC main conference. Other areas within the remit of VL/HCC are also welcome. Why You Should Participate - Present your work to a smaller, more attentive audience - Get detailed, critical, constructive feedback from a diverse panel of experts - Meet other students working on similar problems - Travel funding may be available to help cover your cost of attending VL/HCC (details below). Who Can Participate? The consortium is open to both Master’s and PhD students worldwide. Participation is particularly encouraged from PhD students who are close to proposing a thesis, as well as from members of groups identified by NSF as underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. If multiple applicants from a particular university apply for the consortium this year, then no more than two per university will be selected to participate. To be eligible, each applicant may have participated no more than once in the VL/HCC graduate consortia of past years.

*** Apologies for cross postings *** *GENERAL Workshop @CHITALY 2023 - Call For Papers - *** DEADLINE June, 23 *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st International Workshop on GENerative, Explainable and Reasonable Artificial Learning co-located with the CHITALY 2023, Italy Web: https://bit.ly/generalworkshop2023 Submission site: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=general23 For any information: federico.torrielli(a)unito.it ========= ABSTRACT ========= The GENERAL workshop explores advances in General and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GGAI), including breakthroughs in areas like natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV). It emphasizes the emerging capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) and promotes Human-Centered AIs with applications like ChatGPT and Midjourney. The workshop delves into generating human-like content across text and images, highlighting the creative, coherent, and unexpected properties of these AI models. A key aspect is AI explainability, focusing on understanding, explaining, and controlling the complexities of these AI systems in terms of fairness, accountability, and transparency. Additionally, it encourages interdisciplinary collaboration between fields like HCI, psychology, social studies, and the arts to enrich the understanding of AI's societal and cultural impacts. ====== TOPICS ====== Topics of interest include but are not limited to: ∑ GENERATIVE AI – Users perceptions of images, texts and sounds generated by Generative AIs – Machine Psychology – AI Assistants, Chatbots and Virtual Agents – Emerging properties of human-like intelligence in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) – Interfaces and techniques for interacting with Generative AIs – User studies on systems leveraging Generative AI ∑ AI EXPLAINABILITY TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AI explainability, transparency, and accountability in large-scale models – Human-machine cooperation ∑ ETHICS IN GENERATIVE AI – Ethical issues in Generative AI – Consequences of Generative AIs on individuals and societies – Safety and control mechanisms for large language models: analyzing and mitigating harms from generative AI like misinformation, biases, or synthetic media ∑ INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AND AI COMMUNICATION – Emerging applications of AI and interdisciplinary research – Communicating the potential of AI to the general public and fostering public understanding. ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We accept two kinds of submissions: (A) Regular papers (up to 12 pages, including references) (B) Position Papers, Ongoing projects and Demos (5-8 pages + references) Submission site: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=general23 All submitted papers will be evaluated by two members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance, and technical quality. Note that the references do not count toward page limits. Submissions should be single-blinded, i.e. authors’ names should be included in the submissions. We aim to publish all accepted papers in CEUR WS Proceedings, as a joint volume. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop. ================ IMPORTANT DATES ================ Early submissions are strongly encouraged. We adopt a rolling review system: early submissions will be immediately reviewed and the notification will be sent out approximately two weeks after the submission. * Paper submission final deadline: June 23, 2023 * Notifications to authors: July 14, 2023 * Camera-ready version deadline: July 21, 2023. ============= ORGANIZATION ============= Federico Torrielli University of Torino, Italy Amon Rapp University of Torino, Italy Luigi Di Caro University of Torino, Italy
