[Reminder] CfP Posters and Demos Track at ECSCW’21 (June 7-11, 2021) in Zurich, Switzerland

by Anton Fedosov

Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming ECSCW conference in the summer. There are still opportunities to contribute by submitting a short contribution (2000 words max) to the Posters and Demos track until February 22. The European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work is an international venue on practice-centered computing and the design of cooperation technologies. It is a series of conferences on computer-supported cooperative work located in Europe that was established in 1989. The 19th edition of ECSCW will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, from 7th to 11th June 2021. The presentation of posters and demos is a key element of the ECSCW conference. For presenters as well as recipients, the poster & demo session provides a lively environment for getting in touch with late-breaking research, preliminary results, innovative ideas, and early-stage research and design explorations. At a special session during the conference, authors are given the opportunity to showcase their research to interested delegates, as well as to involve them in discussions about their work, exchanging ideas, providing feedback, and sharing work-in-progress relating to CSCW. Posters provide a great opportunity to present preliminary research results and disseminate novel ideas to conference visitors. Posters also offer the space to discuss potential collaborations and the emergent issues in CSCW in an informal manner with the larger ECSCW community. We particularly invite submissions that introduce speculative or provocative ideas that challenge existing epistemologies and methodologies. Demos may be submitted in various forms. These may be interactive research prototypes or products, but also low-fi prototypes, such as paper mock-ups etc. In addition, the demo session will provide space for exhibiting innovative materials that have been developed in the context of the deployment of (user-centered) research methods – for example, innovations in storyboards, personas, and other materials that foster creativity in the design process. How to apply? Both submission categories (posters and demos) require the submission of a short paper (2000 words maximum excl. references, figures, and a 150-word max. abstract) in the PDF format through the EasyChair platform<https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ecscw2021#>. More details about the submission process (incl. templates) can be found at our website https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/posters-demos/ All accepted submissions will be published as short papers in the European Society for Embedded Technologies (EUSSET) digital library http://www.eusset.eu/digital-library Key dates Submission deadline: February, 22 2021, 23:59 AoE Notifications: March 31, 2021 Camera-ready submission: May 11, 2021 Conference: June 7-11, 2021 Attendance As of now, the conference is planned in Zurich, Switzerland from 7th until 11th of June 2021. The final format of the conference is currently under discussion. Remote participation will be possible.

INTERACT 2021 - Deadline extension for Workshop proposals - February 10th

by Davide Spano

Deadline for submitting Workshop proposals has been extended to February 10th. ----------------------- apologies for cross-posting ------------------------ INTERACT 2021 Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2021, Bari, Italy https://interact2021.org <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Finteract2…> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. INTERACT workshops provide a one-day or two-day forum for participants to compare their experiences and explore research issues or topics of special interest to the HCI community. Workshop proposal submissions are accepted via PCS by February 10th. Further information on the workshop proposals and workshop organization can be found on the INTERACT 2021 website: https://www.interact2021.org/tracks/workshops.php Workshops will take place on 30 and 31 August 2021, immediately preceding the main conference. 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.

Fifth International Summer School on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work

by De Angeli Antonella

Dear Colleagues, This may be an important opportunity for Phd students, post-doc, or early career researchers who have an interest in CSCW Antonella [Apologies for cross-posting] Fifth International Summer School on Computer Supported Cooperative Work 23-27 August 2021, Como, 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. Full program TBA soon (For updates check: www.eusset.eu/events/summer-school/<http://www.eusset.eu/events/summer-school/>) Important dates (final dates will be announced later) • Application deadline: May, 2021 • Notification of acceptance: May, 2021 • Registration deadline: June 2021 Credits: 7,5 ECTS Location We plan to hold the summer school onsite at the Villa del Grumello, a nice villa close to Como, Italy. The center of the town can be reached in a ten-minute walk along the border of the lake. If the current Corona-situation does not permit us to hold the school onsite in Italy, it will be held online. The final decision as to whether the summer school will be held onsite or online, will be made medio Apr- beginning of May, 2021. Chairs • Antonella De Angeli (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano - Italy) • Claus Bossen (Aarhus University – Denmark) • Nina Boulus-Rødje (Roskilde University – Denmark) Fees The registration fee for the course will be around 350€, not including accommodation (For updates check: www.eusset.eu/events/summer-school/<http://www.eusset.eu/events/summer-school/>) Application Please provide a document that includes one to two pages of CV and one page that includes your PhD topic, your research approach and why you want to participate at the summer school.

Hybrid International CHItaly 2021: 3rd Call for Workshop Proposals / 11–13 July 2021 / Bolzano, Italy

by chitaly2021

*Apologies for cross-posting/please share* ================================================ CHItaly 2021 - Frontiers of HCI CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS 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. ================================================ SPECIFICATIONS ================================================ Workshops in CHItaly are events which will open the main conference providing a physical and digital forum for discussion on new and emerging HCI topics, relevant for the theme of CHItaly 2021 (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/). All workshops will be half-day, and will be held in the morning of July 12th. Workshop proposals will be reviewed according to quality criteria, which consider the relevance of workshop proposals for CHItaly 2021, their potentials of gathering quality contributions, their review process. A paper describing each accepted workshop will undergo a quality check (so as to clarify the relevance of the workshop topic for the HCI community, the open challenges, the innovative aspects, the received contributions, etc.) before being accepted and included in the main conference Proceedings (submission deadline, format and requirements will be defined later). ================================================ STRUCTURE OF THE PROPOSAL ================================================ - Workshop title - Workshop acronym (if any) - Workshop edition and, if not on the first one, previous venues, number of attendees and links to the websites - List of organizers (with short bio) and main contact person - Motivation and objectives - List of topics - Target audience and expected number of attendees - Papers Review process (if any): the strategy used to collect contributions (such as online conference management systems or submitting by emails to the workshop chairs, etc.), minimum numbers of reviews,... Note that workshop organisers need to organise themselves how to collect and review papers/abstract/etc., and prepare a web page where the workshop will be advertised - Workshop setting (paper presentations, discussions, group works, …) - Dedicated proceedings (if any): type of paper, reviewing process, venue (Journal special issue, CEUR-WS, …) - PC tentative list ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ================================================ February 1, 2021 - Submission deadline February 15, 2021 - Review notification Deadlines are meant till 11.59 pm CET. ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS ================================================ Submission deadline: April 23th Notifications to contributors: May 14th Camera-ready/final version deadline: May 24th Workshops: July 12th Deadlines are meant till 11.59 pm CET. ================================================ SUBMISSION: HOW TO ================================================ Proposals should be submitted in PDF form (no specific template is required) at this address: workshops.chitaly2021(a)unibz.it ================================================ WORKSHOP CHAIRS ================================================ Barbara Rita Barricelli, Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy (barbara.barricelli(a)unibs.it) Catia Prandi, Università di Bologna, Italy (catia.prandi2(a)unibo.it) ================================================ CHITALY 2021 TRACKS ================================================= This year, CHItaly 2021 has several tracks, besides the track for workshops: long and short research papers, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html interactive experience, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html doctoral consortium, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/dc.html

ACM UMAP 2021: Call for Doctoral Consortium

by Oana Inel

— Apologies for cross-posting — ACM UMAP 2021: Call for Doctoral Consortium Important Dates • Paper Submission: March 9, 2021 • Notification to authors: March 31, 2021 • Camera ready submission: April 11, 2021 • ACM UMAP 2021 conference: June 21-25, 2021 • ACM UMAP 2021 DC Session: TBD, 2021 Note: The submissions times are 11:59 PM AoE time (Anywhere on Earth) ACM UMAP 2021 is the premier international conference on systems that adapt to users and user models for adaptation. It includes a Doctoral Consortium (DC) Session. The DC provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of distinguished researchers from the field. Doctoral students are invited to apply to present their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. Students are expected to document in a brief submission their doctoral research (see below described submission information for further details), which will be evaluated by the consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a Doctoral Consortium Session as part of the conference. Promising, but less well- developed applications will be selected for presentation at a poster session. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student’s work and will discuss the doctoral research with the student and the audience at the consortium. How to Submit to the Doctoral Consortium To apply for the ACM UMAP 2021 doctoral consortium, students should submit a paper presenting their doctoral research organized under the following headings: • Research Problem. The problem being addressed and a motivation outlining the relevance of the problem; • Related Work. Work already performed by other researchers related to this problem. This should situate your work, showing your knowledge of the relevant previous work and how your work will make a new contribution; • Research Questions and Proposed Approach. The main questions the PhD project aims to answer, contributions it aims to achieve, and the thesis methodology; • Progress to Date and Future Work. The progress made to date (including a clear description of the approach, methodology and preliminary results) as well as the plan for further research. Topics include (but are not limited to) the ACM UMAP 2021 key areas. Each DC submission should cover: identification of related (state of the art) work, indication of the potential innovation, application or advancement of the state-of-the-art that the work intends to achieve. In addition, as appropriate for the PhD project, each submission may cover: indication of data to be used for experimentation, indication of implementation approach, indication of evaluation criteria and experimental design. Each DC paper submission should be accompanied by a cover page that states: the paper title, name of the PhD candidate, the name of his/her supervisor(s) and University, a paragraph describing the stage they are in the PhD programme, together with a brief description of their background. This will enable the committee to adapt its assistance to each student. The DC will be most useful to students who have completed enough of their thesis work to have a solid foundation with a clear topic and literature review but the student should be early enough in their studies to still benefit from guidance and advice. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021 by selecting the “UMAP 2021 Doctoral Consortium” track. Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized before submission. Submissions should be a single pdf document consisting of 1 cover page and the paper (up to 7 pages long + references) in the new ACM single-column style. Papers 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.

INTERACT 2021 - Full paper and workshop proposal deadline is January 27th, 2021

by Paolo Buono

-- apologies for cross-posting -- 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: Tracks with submission deadline *January 27th, 2021* - Full Papers - Workshops Tracks with submission deadline *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.

MobileHCI 2021 - Cfp

by anna spagnolli

(Apologies fro cross-postings) The MobileHCI Conference Series (http://mobilehci.acm.org/2021/) has shaped research, development and practice in services used on mobile or within mobile contexts for over two decades now. Our interpretation of mobility is inclusive and broadly construed. We welcome contributions related to any aspect of mobile HCI technology, systems, devices, techniques, experience, application, methods, tools, theories, and new perspectives. The conference theme in 2021 is “Mobile Apart, Mobile Together.” Technological advances allow us to bridge a potential geographical distance in a digital fashion, thereby bringing us closer together while being physically apart. These opportunities and interactions are extremely valuable - not only for families living apart, but in particular during an extraordinary situation, such as the Corona-pandemic in 2020, where many started working from and/or on the go. With advances in multisensory and multimodal interactions, this is no longer limited to screen-based interaction. MobileHCI 2021 embraces this expanded horizon, and invites submissions and contributions that reflect the strength of mobile technologies of bringing people together while being apart. Submissions dates Submissions will be managed through Precision Conference (PCS). Submission deadline: February 4, 2021 (anywhere on earth) Reviews sent to authors: March 19, 2021 Revise and Resubmit deadline: April 19, 2021 Conditional acceptance notification: May 17, 2021 Camera ready version: May 31, 2021 Suggested Topics Systems and Infrastructure. The design, architecture, deployment, and evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support development of or interaction with mobile devices and services. Devices and Techniques. The design, construction, usage, and evaluation of devices and techniques that create valuable new capabilities for mobile human-computer interaction. Applications and Experiences. Descriptions of the design, empirical study of interactive applications, or analysis of usage trends that leverage mobile devices and systems. MobileHCI for social good. Using mobile HCI to address societal challenges of our times such as health care, mobility, sustainability, social engagement, and civic engagement. Methods and Tools. New methods and tools designed for or applied to studying or building mobile user interfaces, applications, and mobile users. Theories and Models. Critical analysis or organizing theory with clearly motivated relevance to the design or study of mobile human-computer interaction; taxonomies of design or devices; well-supported essays on emerging trends and practice in mobile human-computer interaction. Provocations and new Perspectives. Well-argued and well-supported visions of the future of mobile computing; non-traditional topics that bear on mobility; underrepresented viewpoints and perspectives that convincingly bring something new to mobile research and practice. Situation with Coronavirus/Covid-19 Because of the evolving situation with covid-19 and the difficulties of running a physical in-person conference, Mobile HCI will be held virtually. Revisions The editorial board members will make decisions for any submitted papers as either accepted, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejected. These notifications are sent to authors on March 19 2021. If the initial decision is "minor revisions", the authors will have a revision cycle within the current to address these changes, from March 19 until April 19, 2021. After the revised paper is submitted on April 19, the final decisions will be sent to authors on May 10. If the initial decision is "major revisions", the paper must be submitted in the following round to guarantee treatment as a revision, meaning that the same primary and secondary Board Members are assigned to continuously handle the submission. Submissions requiring "major revisions" will not submit on the revision deadline on April 19, but in the next full review cycle for the following MobileHCI 2022. This is to allow extra time in case the authors need to perform significant new work, such as conducting a new evaluation, before acceptance is possible. Paper Length and Format Important: This year, MobileHCI will be using the new ACM Master Article Templates and Publication Workflow! The complete instructions can be found here: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. Word users can submit their initial documents in a simplified single-column format which is then converted to the final formatting only if the paper is accepted. LaTeX users should use the latest template on that same web page (please use the manuscript template [sample-manuscript.tex]). Note that we will provide instructions on word/character count in the near future. However, as a guidance, the final 2-column papers should be between 6 and 10 pages long. For checking the length of your paper you can either use an older 2-column template or have a look at the ACM website: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. At the very bottom there is a rough estimation of word counts and estimated page count. Paper length during the submission stage will not be handled as strictly as for previous MobileHCI conferences, but if your paper gets accepted we might request that you need to shorten it. Authors are encouraged to submit a paper of length proportional to its contribution. References are not included in the paper length. Reviewers will be instructed to weigh the contribution of a submission relative to its length, so papers with a length disproportionate to their contribution will be rejected. Shorter, more focused papers (akin to Notes or Short Papers in previous years) are encouraged, and will be reviewed appropriately. Papers need to be anonymised for blind review. We use a relaxed model that does not attempt to conceal all traces of identity from the body of the paper. However, you do need to completely remove identifying information from the title/header/acknowledgements area of the paper, and also make sure that it does not appear in the document’s meta-data. Citations to your own previous work do NOT need to be anonymised, so that reviewers can ensure that all previous research has been taken into account. However, you should refer to your prior work in third person. As an ACM conference, MobileHCI papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Presentation at the Conference Upon acceptance, you have to present your paper at the conference. At least one author of each paper must register. The exact talk duration will be determined when the program is finalised.
