CfP for the workshop "New trends in Sports and HCI" at MobileHCI 2022

by Eleonora Mencarini

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the call for papers for our workshop on “*New trends in sports and HCI*” at the upcoming *MobileHCI’22 conference*. The field of HCI for sports is evolving under the push of new technological developments and worldwide natural events, such as the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change. Recent technological advancements have widened the possibilities of HCI in the sports domain by paving the way to augmented humans, inbodied interactions, esports, new forms of sociality thanks to virtual reality and the metaverse, and new ways for engaging the audience thanks to AI. Whereas contextual factors, such as the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, seem to pull the sports trends in opposite directions: on the one hand, they foster the indoorisation and individualization of sports, as we can see by the spreading of home training systems such as bike rollers and related apps; and, on the other hand, they encourage practicing outdoor sports to take advantage of the ‘restorative power’ of nature. With this workshop, we invite the HCI community to discuss the current trends for portable technologies for sports and trace future directions for HCI research in this field. TOPICS OF INTEREST Possible topics for submissions may include (but are not limited to):‬‬ - Wearable/mobile technologies for sports - Interactive systems for the indoorisation of outdoor sports - Phenomenology of sports (how to report the sports experience) - Augmented feedback for sports - Augmented human capabilities in sports - Immersive technologies for sports - Exergames - Gamification techniques for sports - Superhuman sports HOW TO APPLY? We invite paper submissions (*minimum 12.500 characters long*) in the form of a research, reflection, pictorial, provocation, or design fiction using the ACM SIGCHI template via Easy Chair. A program committee will assess the submissions based on their potential to spark an interesting discussion. Proceedings of the accepted submissions will be *published with CEUR and indexed in Scopus*. KEY DATES *Submission deadline: June 1, 2022, AoE* Notification: June 24, 2022 Workshop: October 1, 2022 ATTENDANCE The “New Trends in HCI and Sports” will take place *online*. The workshop activities and discussions will be organized accordingly. ORGANIZERS Eleonora Mencarini, FBK (Italy) Amon Rapp, University of Torino (Italy) Ashley Colley, University of Lapland (Finland) Florian Daiber, DFKI (Germany) Micheal D. Jones, Brigham University (U.S.A.) Felix Kosmalla, DFKI (Germany) Stephan Lukosch, University of Canterbury (New Zealand) Jasmin Niess, University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) Evangelos Niforatos, TU Delft (The Netherlands) Paweł W.

ACM International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2022): Sixth Call for Contributions

by Announce Announcements

*** Sixth Call for Contributions *** ACM International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2022) 7–9 September, 2022, 5* St. Raphael Resort & Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/goodit2022/ Scope The ACM GoodIT conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions related to the application of information technologies (IT) to social good. Social good is typically defined as something that provides a benefit to the general public. In this context, clean air and water, Internet connection, education, and healthcare are all good examples of social goods. However, new media innovations and the explosion of online communities have added new meaning to the term. Social good is now about global citizens uniting to unlock the potential of individuals, technology, and collaboration to create a positive societal impact. GoodIT solicits papers that address important research challenges related to, but not limited to: • Citizen science • Civic intelligence • Decentralized approaches to IT • Digital solutions for Cultural Heritage • Environmental monitoring • Ethical computing • Frugal solutions for IT • Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications • Health and social care • IT for automotive • IT for development • IT for education • IT for smart living • Privacy, trust and ethical issues in ICT solutions • Smart governance and e-administration • Social informatics • Socially responsible IT solutions • Sustainable cities and transportation • Sustainable IT • Technology addressing the digital divide Paper Submission The papers should not exceed eleven (11) pages single-column, including figures, tables, and references in the new ACM format (https://cyprusconferences.org/goodit2022/index.php/authors/ ). They must be original works and must not have been previously published. At least one of the authors of all accepted papers must register and present the work at the conference; otherwise, the paper will not be published in the proceedings. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library. In addition to a Main Track, the conference features 9 additional Special Tracks. More information on these tracks is available on the conference web site. Journal Special Issues and Best Paper Award Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to two special journal issues: • FGCS, Elsevier (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems) • MDPI Sensors, where the theme of the special issue will be "Application of Information Technology (IT) to Social Good" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/topical_collection_good… ). Specifically 5 papers will be invited free of charge and another 5 papers will get a 20% discount on the publication fees. Furthermore, MDPI Sensors will sponsor a Best Paper Award with the amount of 400 CHF. Work-in-Progress and PhD Track Inside ACM GoodIT, the Work-in-Progress and PhD Track provides an opportunity to showcase interesting new work that is still at an early stage. We encourage practitioners and researchers to submit to the Work-in-Progress venue as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. Moreover, this track provides a platform for PhD students to present and receive feedback on their ongoing research. Students at different stages of their research will have the opportunity to present and discuss their research questions, goals, methods and results. This is an opportunity to obtain guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and other PhD students working in research areas related to technologies for social good. Important: For this specific track, papers must not exceed nine (9) pages single column, including figures, tables, and references in the new ACM format (https://cyprusconferences.org/goodit2022/index.php/authors/ ). Submission Instructions All papers must be submitted electronically via the hotcrp web site (https://goodit2022.hotcrp.com ). Once on the submission page, you will be able to select the track where to submit your paper. Important Dates • Submission deadline for all types of contributions: 23 May 2022 • Notification of acceptance: 20 June 2022 • Camera-ready submission and author registration: 11 July 2022 Conference Committees https://cyprusconferences.org/goodit2022/committees/

Throughout three decades, the Conference has attracted leading researchers of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from all over the world, offering a forum to present and disseminate new technological results, paradigms, and visions for HCI and user interfaces. Because of advanced technology and new possibilities for user interaction, AVI has broadened the topics it covers, still keeping its primary focus on the conception, design, implementation, and evaluation of novel visual interfaces. While rooted in Italy, AVI is an international conference concerning the nationality of participants, authors of papers, and program committee members. The mixture of carefully selected research contributions paired with cordial Italian hospitality creates a unique conference atmosphere, which has made AVI an internationally recognized brand. AVI 2022 is under the patronage of Sapienza Università di Roma, Dipartimento di Informatica, Italy. We look forward to your participation in AVI2022!
