by Giuseppe Caggianese

Dear Colleagues, Last days to submit your contribution to our Special Session on “eXtended Reality as a gateway to the Metaverse: Practices, Theories, Technologies and Applications” - IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023) - October 25-27, 2023 - Milan - https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17. I want to remind you that the deadline of tomorrow, 15 March, is for the submission of a 1-2 page Abstract or a Graphical Abstract to show the idea you are proposing. You will have time to finalise your work by the deadline of April 30. Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might be interested in contributing to this special session. I'm looking forward to meeting you, virtually or in your presence, at IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023. Best regards, Giuseppe Caggianese Giuseppe Caggianese, Ph.D. ------------------------------------------------------------- Research Scientist National Research Council (CNR) Institute for High-Performance Computing and Networking (ICAR) Via Pietro Castellino 111, 80131, Naples, Italy Telefono: +39 0816139227 Mobile: +39 3371588044 Skype: giuseppe.caggianese Email: giuseppe.caggianese(a)cnr.it [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ==================================================================================== Call for Papers - Special Session on: “EXTENDED REALITY AS A GATEWAY TO THE METAVERSE: PRACTICES, THEORIES, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS” https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023) https://metroxraine.org/ October 25-27, 2023 - Milan, Italy. ==================================================================================== SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION ------------------------- The fast development of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) solutions over the last few years are transforming how people interact, work, and communicate. The eXtended Reality (XR) term encloses all those immersive technologies that can shift the boundaries between digital and physical worlds to realize the metaverse. According to tech companies and venture capitalists, the metaverse will be a super-platform that convenes sub-platforms: social media, online video games, and ease-of-life apps, all accessible through the same digital space and sharing the same digital economy. Inside the metaverse, virtual worlds will allow avatars to carry out all human endeavours, including creation, display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the metaverse will evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, health services, cultural heritage, and each other things on the Internet. A user could join friends to play a multiplayer game, watch a movie via a streaming service and then attend a university course precisely the same as in the real world. The metaverse development will require new software architecture that will enable decentralized and collaborative virtual worlds. These self-organized virtual worlds will be permanent and will require maintenance operations. In addition, it will be necessary to design an efficient data management system and prevent privacy violations. Finally, the convergence of physical reality, virtually enhanced, and an always-on virtual space highlighted the need to rethink the actual paradigms for visualization, interaction, and sharing of digital information, moving toward more natural, intuitive, dynamically customizable, multimodal, and multi-user solutions. This special session aims to focus on exploring how the realization of the metaverse can transform certain application domains such us: (i) healthcare, in which the metaverse solutions can, for instance, improve the communication between patients and physicians; (ii) cultural heritage, with potentially more effective solutions for tourism guidance, site maintenance, and heritage object conservation; and (iii) industry, where to enable data-driven decision making, smart maintenance, and overall asset optimisation. More information can be found here: https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 TOPICS ---------- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Hardware/Software Architectures for metaverse - Decentralized and Collaborative Architectures for metaverse - Interoperability for metaverse - Tools to help creators to build the metaverse0 - Operations and Maintenance in metaverse - Data security and privacy mechanisms for metaverse - Cryptocurrency, token, NFT Solutions for metaverse - Fraud-Detection in metaverse - Cyber Security for metaverse - Data Analytics to Identify Malicious Behaviors in metaverse - Blockchain/AI technologies in metaverse - Emerging Technologies and Applications for metaverse - New models to evaluate the impact of the metaverse - Interactive Data Exploration and Presentation in metaverse - Human-Computer Interaction for metaverse - Human factors issues related to metaverse - Proof-of-Concept in Metaverse: Experimental Prototyping and Testbeds IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ Abstract Submission Deadline: March 15, 2023. **NOTE that the abstract should be 1 - 2 pages.

An assumption that implies a confrontation between AI, Human-Centered AI and HCD and a reflection on the role of HCD in the AI age. The issue, thus, is not intended to be focalized on the design of user interfaces of systems containing embedded AI features, per se; rather, it is expected to be grounded in research activities involving a broad spectrum of academic disciplines – from computer science to social science – that will critically analyze the interplay between AI, Human-Centered AI and HCD, in order to investigate the impact on individuals, social groups, and society as a whole. In particular this special issue wish to explore the relationship between AI, aimed at replacing human beings, and Intelligence Augmentation (IA), focused on empowering human beings in their daily life and work. Balancing between these two perspectives means changing the research paradigm from traditional human-computer interaction, to designing the collaboration between humans and computers. This will foster creativity, meaningful work, intersubjectivity, and learning, and eventually improve the quality of life of individuals. However, a variety of issues and ethical problems need to be addressed in this new age – e.g., privacy intrusions, massive unemployment, knowledge and competence loss, lack of control, autonomous weapons, new research methods, etc. The guest editors encourage researchers to submit articles that will consider these aspects. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Topics of interest for this special issue include, but not limited to: * AI and Human control: privacy and ethical issues * AI support in everyday work * Collaborative human-centered design * End-User Development for AI-based systems * Empirical evaluation of AI-based systems * Explainable AI through meta design * Human-centred AI * Learning analytics for teachers participation and learning effectiveness * Research methods in Human-Centered AI and Design =========================================== /*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.

CFP: AISB Convention 2023

by Grasso, Floriana

With apologies for cross postings - deadline March 6th AISB Convention 2023 13-14 April 2023 Swansea, Wales, UK The AISB Convention is a flourishing annual conference that thrives from an interdisciplinary audience and facilitates discourse amongst a diverse set of researchers and research cultures. Attendance will be free for AISB members. The 2023 convention of the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) will be held as a hybrid in-person and online event 13-14 April 2023. The convention will consist of several tracks based on popular symposia of previous AISB conventions instead of separately organised symposia. This decision was made to streamline the processes involved in organising the convention in the context of reduced timeframes due to COVID-19 disruptions from the past years and the longer-term changes this has brought about for the reseach community. In addition to the thematic tracks, we will run a general track that can accommodate papers on any topic related to AI. Each track acts like a mini conference with its own chair and programme committee. Please see below for a list of tracks for 2023. AI & Games (AIG) This track focuses on the application of artificial intelligence or intelligent-like techniques, frameworks and theories to the creation of intelligent games. AI can be used in any manner suitable in the game, from the algorithm to making the game more engaging, personalised, and/or interactive. The following non-exhaustive list of research and practice shows potential submission topics: * Use of AI techniques (e.g. planning, learning, evolution etc.) * Design and engineering of AI components * Procedural content generation * Intelligent or adaptive player interaction * Game analytics * Data-driven player modelling * Agent decision making systems * Intelligent agents * Environmental simulations * Interactive narrative generation * Intelligent narrative technologies * Experimental AI * Serious games & gamification AI Ethics (AIE) Recent years have seen an increased awareness of ethical issues stemming from a lack of responsibility in the design and deployment of AI- and data-driven technology systems. This track explores solutions to these issues. Some topics of interest: * Algorithmic fairness * Diversity * Data governance * Accountability * Data privacy * AI ethics principles * Implementing ethical reasoning * AI regulation * Explainable AI Computational Creativity (CC) Computational creativity is continuing to attract researchers from both arts and science backgrounds. Philosophers, cognitive psychologists, computer scientists and artists have all contributed to and enriched the literature. Many argue a machine is creative if it simulates or replicates human creativity (e.g. evaluation of AI systems via a Turing-style test), while others have conceived of computational creativity as an inherently different discipline, where computer generated (art)work should not be judged on the same terms, i.e. being necessarily producible by a human artist, or having similar attributes, etc. More general topics of interest for this symposium include, but are not limited to: * Novel systems and theories in computational creativity, in any domain, e.g. drawing and painting, music, storytelling, poetry, conversation, games, etc. * The evaluation of computational creative systems, processes and artefacts * Theory of computational aesthetics * Representational issues in creativity, including visual and perceptual representations * Social aspects of computational creativity, and intellectual property issues * Creative autonomy and constraint * Computational appreciation of artefacts, including human artwork Philosophy & AI (AIP) With its origins in the Philosophy after AI symposium from previous AISB Conventions, this track sets out to investigate the philosophical and linguistic perspectives of the research paths which deal with language as it is conceived by AI. Contributions to a general philosophical discourse on AI are also welcome. We invite talks on the following (but not exclusively) topics: * Linguistics and AI; * AI research on language; * Learning, creativity and AI; * Meaning and AI; * Creativity, machine-learning and language; * Robots and communication; * Truth, post-truth and AI; * Social media, devices and human sociality. General Track (GT) This track accommodates AI research that does not align with any of the other special tracks. Possible topics include: * Agents and multi-agent systems * Agent-based social simulation * Verification of AI systems * Combining learning and reasoning * Argumentation * AI & cyber security * Natural language processing * Knowledge representation Submission Submissions to any of the tracks are in the form of extended abstracts and are subject to peer review. Proceedings will then accommodate final papers as short or regular papers. These are limited to the following page restrictions. * Extended abstract (max. 2 pages) * Short paper (max. 4 pages) * Regular paper (max. 8 pages) Page limits include references. Please use Springer Nature LaTeX or Word templates to prepare your papers. Web site and submission links will be available from mid-January 2023. Please use the following submission links: * AISB - AI & Games 2023: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aisbaig2023 * AISB - AI Ethics 2023: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aisbaie2023 * AISB - Philosophy & AI 2023: Please email your submission to aip2023(a)aisb.org.uk * AISB - Computational Creativity 2023: Please email your submission to cc2023(a)aisb.org.uk * AISB - General Track 2023: Please email your submission to gt2023(a)aisb.org.uk Important Dates * Submission: 6 March 2023 * Notification of acceptance: 27 March 2023 * Camera-ready paper: 3 April 2023 Program Committee General Chair: Bertie Müller (Swansea University) Track Chairs: * AISB - AI & Games 2023: Swen Gaudl (University of Plymouth, UK) * AISB - AI Ethics 2023: Bertie Müller (Swansea University, UK) * AISB - Philosophy & AI 2023: Giusy Gallo (Università della Calabria, Italy), Claudia Stancati (Università della Calabria, Italy) * AISB - Computational Creativity 2023: Jiaxiang Zhang (Swansea University, UK) * AISB - General Track 2023: Floriana Grasso (University of Liverpool, UK)

Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might be interested in contributing to this special session. Visit the conference website for further and updated information https://metroxraine.org/. I'm looking forward to meeting you, virtually or in your presence, at IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023. Best wishes, Giuseppe Caggianese Giuseppe Caggianese, Ph.D. ------------------------------------------------------------- Research Scientist National Research Council (CNR) Institute for High-Performance Computing and Networking (ICAR) Via Pietro Castellino 111, 80131, Naples, Italy Telefono: +39 0816139227 Mobile: +39 3371588044 Skype: giuseppe.caggianese Email: giuseppe.caggianese(a)cnr.it ==================================================================================== Call for Papers - Special Session on: “EXTENDED REALITY AS A GATEWAY TO THE METAVERSE: PRACTICES, THEORIES, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS” https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023) https://metroxraine.org/ October 25-27, 2023 - Milan, Italy. ==================================================================================== SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION ------------------------- The fast development of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) solutions over the last few years are transforming how people interact, work, and communicate. The eXtended Reality (XR) term encloses all those immersive technologies that can shift the boundaries between digital and physical worlds to realize the metaverse. According to tech companies and venture capitalists, the metaverse will be a super-platform that convenes sub-platforms: social media, online video games, and ease-of-life apps, all accessible through the same digital space and sharing the same digital economy. Inside the metaverse, virtual worlds will allow avatars to carry out all human endeavours, including creation, display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the metaverse will evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, health services, cultural heritage, and each other things on the Internet. A user could join friends to play a multiplayer game, watch a movie via a streaming service and then attend a university course precisely the same as in the real world. The metaverse development will require new software architecture that will enable decentralized and collaborative virtual worlds. These self-organized virtual worlds will be permanent and will require maintenance operations. In addition, it will be necessary to design an efficient data management system and prevent privacy violations. Finally, the convergence of physical reality, virtually enhanced, and an always-on virtual space highlighted the need to rethink the actual paradigms for visualization, interaction, and sharing of digital information, moving toward more natural, intuitive, dynamically customizable, multimodal, and multi-user solutions. This special session aims to focus on exploring how the realization of the metaverse can transform certain application domains such us: (i) healthcare, in which the metaverse solutions can, for instance, improve the communication between patients and physicians; (ii) cultural heritage, with potentially more effective solutions for tourism guidance, site maintenance, and heritage object conservation; and (iii) industry, where to enable data-driven decision making, smart maintenance, and overall asset optimisation. More information can be found here: https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 TOPICS ---------- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Hardware/Software Architectures for metaverse - Decentralized and Collaborative Architectures for metaverse - Interoperability for metaverse - Tools to help creators to build the metaverse - Operations and Maintenance in metaverse - Data security and privacy mechanisms for metaverse - Cryptocurrency, token, NFT Solutions for metaverse - Fraud-Detection in metaverse - Cyber Security for metaverse - Data Analytics to Identify Malicious Behaviors in metaverse - Blockchain/AI technologies in metaverse - Emerging Technologies and Applications for metaverse - New models to evaluate the impact of the metaverse - Interactive Data Exploration and Presentation in metaverse - Human-Computer Interaction for metaverse - Human factors issues related to metaverse - Proof-of-Concept in Metaverse: Experimental Prototyping and Testbeds IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ Abstract Submission Deadline: March 15, 2023. **NOTE that the abstract should be 1 - 2 pages.
