At the core, the adjective smart comprises terms like intelligent, purpose oriented, supportive, artful, clever and the like. Thus, smart does not necessarily include the usage of technology (neither does it exclude technology!). The COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely challenging to address several research contexts, suddenly the two dimensions that characterises the smart learning ecosystems – physical and virtual – started to be perceived somewhat as antithetical and it came out that the e-maturity of a learning ecosystem is not sufficient to explain and predict its transformation. Many factors concur – processual, social, individual – to determine the technological evolution of learning ecosystems and their smartness. For sure the pandemic has generated a higher awareness about the intrinsic nature of the smart learning ecosystems and it is likely that they will no longer be the same after the pandemic. Papers that report on work that nurtures a post-pandemic view and strategy for a better learning world are specially welcome. This special issue is supported by the Association for Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development (ASLERD) and welcome the submission of substantially extended version of the papers presented at SLERD 2021. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Topics of interests can be grouped under three big themes: places for smart education, people in place centered design for smart education, supportive learning technologies and tools for smart education. All of which, can also include studies that nurtures a post-pandemic view and strategy for a better learning world. *Places for smart education* future of institutional learning interplay between formal and informal learning new educational models and settings continuity-discontinuity of time, technology, place/space, process in learning role of and case studies of games and gamification in smart education dual education and other alternate scheme approaches monitoring and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region) *People in place centered design for smart education* general frameworks and methodological advancement design, data and other relevant literacies literacies, skill and competences of smart citizens communities and co-design in smart learning sharing & participatory practices open access to any resource and disparity cultural influences *Supportive technologies and tools for smart education* intelligent tutoring systems and interfaces semantic web technologies and applications text/opinion mining and sentiment analysis real/virtual communities and social network analysis interoperability and application of open/smart data and services safety & security in education IoT, ubiquitous and wearable technologies adaptability to educational contexts and citizens role of VR in education =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors are invited to submit 8-20 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).

More specifically, we intend to attract research that takes into account the interaction peculiarities typical of different realities, with a focus on disadvantaged and at-risk categories (e.g., refugees and migrants) and vulnerable groups (e.g., children, elderly, autistic, and disabled people). Among others, we are also interested in human-robot interaction techniques aimed at the development of social robots, that is, autonomous robots that interact with people by engaging in social-affective behaviors, abilities, and rules related to their collaborative role. **********************Topics*********************** The main topics of the workshop are (but not limited to): * Multi-cultural system design; * Empirical studies on the impact of culture on systems; * Cultural and social influence in recommender systems; * Cultural and social aspects as contextual factors; * Cultural and social influence in online learning platforms (e.g., MOOC); * Methods for automatic assessment of social and cultural background from social media; * Strategies for adapting systems to groups of users with different backgrounds; * Cross-cultural analyses of trust in systems; * Human-robot adaptation for cross-cultural users, including under-represented groups; * Personalized Human-Robot Interaction (HRI); * Adaptation strategies for social HRI; * Machine learning for social robots; * Emotion and personality detection in social HRI; * Social robots as conversational recommender systems * Social robots in the real world; ********************Submissions******************** Researchers and practitioners in academia or industry are encouraged to submit original manuscripts relevant to the audience of the workshop. Papers must comply with the standard ACM SIGCHI Paper Format (see https://iui.acm.org/2022/call_for_papers.html <https://iui.acm.org/2022/call_for_papers.html>). The contributions can be: Full papers (6 pages excluding references) and Short papers (4 pages excluding references), including substantial work-in-progress, perspective papers, and lessons learned; and Challenge, Position, and Demo papers (2 pages excluding references), describing research challenges in theory or practice, defining new promising research directions, and demonstrating innovative software prototypes. Manuscripts must be submitted via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socialize2022 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socialize2022>) by January 14, 2022 (extended). All submissions will undergo a peer-review process. Reviewers will consider originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity, and relevance to the workshop’s topics. The reviewing process will be double-blind. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work during the workshop, and at least one author of each accepted paper must register for and (virtually) attend the workshop.
