[CFP] [Extended and Firm Deadline] [1-2 pages Abstract] IEEE Special Session on “eXtended Reality as a gateway to the Metaverse: Practices, Theories, Technologies and Applications” (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2024)

by Giuseppe Caggianese

Dear Colleagues, Due to the several requests of deferral received in the last days, the deadline for Abstract Submissions has been EXTENDED. The new deadline for submitting a paper proposal for the special session on "eXtended Reality as a gateway to the Metaverse: Practices, Theories, Technologies and Applications" is *April 10, 2024 - Extended and Firm Deadline*. Then, you will have time to finalize your work by the deadline of *May 15*. Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might be interested in contributing to this special session. Best regards, Giuseppe Caggianese ==================================================================================== Call for Papers - Special Session on: “EXTENDED REALITY AS A GATEWAY TO THE METAVERSE: PRACTICES, THEORIES, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS” https://metroxraine.org/special-session-6 2024 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2024) https://metroxraine.org/ October 21-23, 2024 - St Albans, London, UK. ==================================================================================== 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-6 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: April 10, 2024 (Extended and Firm Deadline) Final Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2024 (Extended and Firm Deadline) Full Paper Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2024 Final Paper Submission Deadline: July 31, 2024 SUBMISSION AND DECISIONS ------------------------ Authors should prepare an Abstract (1 - 2 pages) that clearly indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the work.

The 8th edition of this workshop aims to critically differentiate, dissect, and deepen the roles, experiences, and demands of end users by inviting contributions from different perspectives. The workshop invites contributions to explore the following fundamental issues: - Re-conceptualizing the multi-faceted roles that end users can play. - Investigating how end users are evolving into active participants in the design and development through frameworks (such as meta-design) that encourage creation, modification, and evolution in individual and group activities. - Understanding the skills and literacies (e.g., computational fluency) that end users need to acquire to be successful contributors (e.g., education, after-school clubs, etc.). - Envisioning future scenarios and possibilities for end user roles and experiences in the context of emerging technologies and cultural changes. - Understanding the design trade-offs associated with balancing the potential value of end-user contributions with the necessary effort to ensure that end users will be motivated to contribute over long periods of time. Participants from academia, industry, and user communities are invited to share their ideas, insights, and experiences to increase our collective understanding and approach towards end users in the digital age. Topics of discussion may include (but will not be limited to): - Analysis of the use and historical development of the concept of “end user” - Can meta-design frameworks facilitate and empower end users in becoming designers, shaping and adapting systems to their needs? - What are the major responsibilities for end users in "end-user development” and/versus "end-user software engineering"? - If computational fluency is widely achieved by humans in the digital age — how will this change the concept of "end user" and “learning with digital tools”? - How can the division between professional developers and end users be designed and supported as collaborative interactions rather than a rigid separation? - How do we scale up user participation from individuals to groups to communities? - In which contexts are end users the drivers of the innovation? - Which other frameworks and environments in AI exist in addition to Large Language Models (LLMs) for supporting end users? - How does the role of end users change in the era of LLMs? - Which additional learning demands occur that empower end users to assess LLM possibilities and limits? - Success stories and failures (e.g., empirical studies) involving or analyzing end users as active participants in sociotechnical systems in different domains (education, workplace, at home, leisure, etc.). ----------------- Submissions ---------------- Authors are invited to submit a 6-page position paper using the 1-column CEUR template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip.

CFP: Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage - PATCH@UMAP 2024

by Noemi Mauro

**** PLEASE, EXCUSE MULTIPLE POSTINGS **** CALL FOR PAPERS The 15th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH 2024) Held in conjunction with ACM UMAP 2024 - Cagliari, Italy. https://patch2024.di.unito.it/ Important dates: April 24, 2024: paper submission May 8, 2024: notification to authors May 16, 2024: camera-ready due The workshop will be in person or hybrid. Abstract and Topics Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2024 will be again the meeting point between state-of-the-art cultural heritage research and personalization – using any kind of technology, while focusing on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, to enhance the personal experience in cultural heritage sites. The workshop is aimed at bringing together, physically and/or virtually, researchers and practitioners who are working on various aspects of cultural heritage and are interested in exploring the potential of state of the art mobile technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance the CH visit experience. The expected result of the workshop is a sharing and discussing novel ideas and creating a multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research directions and hopefully, forge some research collaborations. Motivation Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a privileged area for personalization research, as highlighted by the many H2020 calls on this topic. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing to experience and learn new things, usually without a clear idea of what to expect. CH sites are typically rich in objects and information; much more than the visitor can absorb during the limited time of a visit. Cultural Heritage exploration and fruition are central aspects to value the richness of the territory and the history of our countries. The research on this topic is very active and continuously expanding towards new topics, such as the integration of cultural and natural heritage exploration, the extension to novel interaction means (e.g., haptic user interfaces and IoT), ambient intelligence, etc. We invite cultural heritage professionals and researchers to join us to discuss findings and trends on personalisation of cultural heritage in the broadest sense, from online and remote cultural access to onsite visit, from individuals to groups, from tangible to virtual and robotic mediation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Navigation and personalized browsing in digital and physical cultural heritage collections - Recommendation strategies for natural and cultural heritage - Adaptation strategies for text and non-verbal content in CH/NH - NLG techniques for mobile user modeling in natural and cultural heritage sites - Integration of virtual and physical collections - Immersive cultural and natural heritage - Mobile museum guides and personal museum assistants - Context-aware information presentation in natural and cultural heritage - Adaptive navigation and browsing in CH/NH sites - Intelligent user interfaces for natural and cultural heritage applications - Personalization for group of visitors to natural and cultural heritage sites - Personalization for collective CH information authoring and management - Creativity and collaboration support in CH - Personalization across the whole of a person's digital ecosystem - Long-term personalization - IoT and Cultural Heritage - Living lab in museum - Robots in museums - 3D, Augmented, and Virtual Reality for cultural and natural heritage - Gestural interfaces for Cultural Heritage applications - Analysis of behavior patterns to improve CH/NH recommendation - Conversational agents for cultural and natural heritage - The use of personality for guiding CH/NH experiences - Multiple viewpoints and perspectives for CH - Remote access to CH/NH - Intelligent agents to interact with CH/NH Submissions Full papers: up to 14 pages excluding references. Short papers/Position papers/Demo papers: up to 7 pages excluding references. Papers that exceed the page limits or formatting guidelines will be returned without review. Submissions should be single-blinded, i.e., authors’ names should be included in the submissions. Papers must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. The templates and instructions are available here: https://patch2024.di.unito.it/submission.html. All papers should be submitted in PDF format via the online submission system by selecting the track "UMAP 24 Workshop PATCH": https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=umap24. An international panel of experts will review all submissions. Work that has already been published should not be submitted unless it introduces a significant addition to the previously published work. There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all the workshop papers will be published.

[CFP] [deadline approaching] [1-2 pages Abstract] IEEE Special Session on “eXtended Reality as a gateway to the Metaverse: Practices, Theories, Technologies and Applications” (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2024)

by Giuseppe Caggianese

Dear Colleagues, The deadline for submitting a paper proposal for the special session on "eXtended Reality as a gateway to the Metaverse: Practices, Theories, Technologies and Applications" is fast approaching. The extended deadlines are: - *March 29* for your paper proposal in the form of a 1-2 page Abstract or a Graphical Abstract - *May 15* to finalize your work and submit the full paper. Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might be interested in contributing to this special session. Best regards, Giuseppe Caggianese ==================================================================================== Call for Papers - Special Session on: “EXTENDED REALITY AS A GATEWAY TO THE METAVERSE: PRACTICES, THEORIES, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS” https://metroxraine.org/special-session-6 2024 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2024) https://metroxraine.org/ October 21-23, 2024 - St Albans, London, UK. ==================================================================================== 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-6 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 29, 2024 (extended) Final Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2024 (extended) Full Paper Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2024 Final Paper Submission Deadline: July 31, 2024 SUBMISSION AND DECISIONS ------------------------ Authors should prepare an Abstract (1 - 2 pages) that clearly indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the work.

ExUM Workshop @UMAP 2024 - Call For Papers

by amon

*** Apologies for cross postings *** *ExUM Workshop @UMAP 2024 - Call For Papers - *** DEADLINE APRIL, 24 *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Explainable User Models and Personalised Systems (ExUM@UMAP 2024) co-located with UMAP 2024 (http://www.um.org/umap2024) - The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization Monday 1 - Thursday 4 July, 2024 Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy Twitter: https://twitter.com/ExUM_Workshop Web: http://swap.di.uniba.it/exum/index.html For any information: marco.polignano(a)uniba.it ========= ABSTRACT ========= Adaptive and personalized systems have become pervasive technologies, gradually playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives. Indeed, we are now accustomed to interacting with algorithms that leverage the power of Language Models (LLMs) to assist us in various scenarios. From services suggesting music or movies to personal assistants proactively supporting us in complex decision-making tasks. As these technologies continue to shape our everyday experiences, it becomes imperative to ensure that the internal mechanisms guiding these algorithms are transparent and comprehensible. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) recognizes the users' right to explanation when confronted with intelligent systems, highlighting the significance of this aspect. Regrettably, current research often prioritizes the maximization of personalization strategy effectiveness, such as recommendation accuracy, at the expense of model explainability. To address this concern, the workshop aims to provide a platform for in-depth discussions on challenges, problems, and innovative research approaches in the field. The workshop will specifically focus on investigating the role of transparency and explainability in recent methodologies for constructing user models and developing personalized and adaptive systems. By bringing together researchers and practitioners, the workshop aims to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the development of novel solutions. Through this collective effort, we can advance the understanding and implementation of transparent and interpretable approaches in adaptive and personalized systems, including integrating Language Models (LLMs) to enhance transparency and enable users to comprehend the internal mechanisms guiding these systems. ====== TOPICS ====== Topics of interest include but are not limited to: ∑ TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE PERSONALIZATION STRATEGIES o Scrutable User Models o Transparent User Profiling and Personal Data Extraction o Explainable Personalization and Adaptation Methodologies o Novel strategies (e.g., conversational recommender systems) for building transparent algorithms o Transparent Personalization and Adaptation to Groups of users o Transparent Personalization based on Large Language Models ∑ DESIGNING EXPLANATION ALGORITHMS o Explanation algorithms based on the item description and item properties o Explanation algorithms based on user-generated content (e.g., reviews) o Explanation algorithms based on collaborative information o Building explanation algorithms for opaque personalization techniques (e.g., neural networks, matrix factorization) o Explanation algorithms based on methods to build group models ∑ DESIGNING TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE USER INTERFACES o Transparent User Interfaces o Methodologies for designing transparent interaction o Novel paradigms (e.g. chatbots, LLMs) for building transparent models ∑ EVALUATING TRANSPARENCY AND EXPLAINABILITY o Evaluating Transparency in interaction or personalization o Evaluating the Explainability of the algorithms o Designing User Studies for evaluating transparency and explainability o Novel metrics and experimental protocols ∑ OPEN ISSUES IN TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE USER MODELS AND PERSONALIZED SYSTEMS o Ethical issues (Fairness and Biases) in User Models and Personalized Systems o Privacy management of Personal and Social data o Discussing Recent Regulations (GDPR) and future directions ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We encourage the submission of contributions investigating novel methodologies to exploit heterogeneous personal data and approaches to build transparent and scrutable user models. In particular, we accept three kinds of submissions: (A) Regular papers (max. 14 pages + references - single-column ACM format) (B) Ongoing projects, Demo and Short papers (max. 7 pages + references - single-column ACM format); Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap24 During the submission process select “6th Workshop on Explainable User Models and Personalized Systems (ExUM)” All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least 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. Papers must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. All accepted papers will be published by ACM as a joint volume of Extended UMAP 2024 Proceedings and will be available via the ACM Digital Library.

CFP: CoPDA 2024 - 8th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age (co-located with AVI 2024) - deadline is approaching

by Antonio Piccinno

------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- CoPDA 2024 - 8th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: Differentiating and Deepening the Concept of "End User" in the Digital Age https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2024/ June 3rd or 4th, 2024 - Arenzano (Genoa), Italy In conjunction with AVI 2024 (https://avi2024.dibris.unige.it/home) ------------ Overview ------------ Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and meta-design challenge the understanding of the concept of “end user”. The 8th edition of this workshop aims to critically differentiate, dissect, and deepen the roles, experiences, and demands of end users by inviting contributions from different perspectives. The workshop invites contributions to explore the following fundamental issues: - Re-conceptualizing the multi-faceted roles that end users can play. - Investigating how end users are evolving into active participants in the design and development through frameworks (such as meta-design) that encourage creation, modification, and evolution in individual and group activities. - Understanding the skills and literacies (e.g., computational fluency) that end users need to acquire to be successful contributors (e.g., education, after-school clubs, etc.). - Envisioning future scenarios and possibilities for end user roles and experiences in the context of emerging technologies and cultural changes. - Understanding the design trade-offs associated with balancing the potential value of end-user contributions with the necessary effort to ensure that end users will be motivated to contribute over long periods of time. Participants from academia, industry, and user communities are invited to share their ideas, insights, and experiences to increase our collective understanding and approach towards end users in the digital age. Topics of discussion may include (but will not be limited to): - Analysis of the use and historical development of the concept of “end user” - Can meta-design frameworks facilitate and empower end users in becoming designers, shaping and adapting systems to their needs? - What are the major responsibilities for end users in "end-user development” and/versus "end-user software engineering"? - If computational fluency is widely achieved by humans in the digital age — how will this change the concept of "end user" and “learning with digital tools”? - How can the division between professional developers and end users be designed and supported as collaborative interactions rather than a rigid separation? - How do we scale up user participation from individuals to groups to communities? - In which contexts are end users the drivers of the innovation? - Which other frameworks and environments in AI exist in addition to Large Language Models (LLMs) for supporting end users? - How does the role of end users change in the era of LLMs? - Which additional learning demands occur that empower end users to assess LLM possibilities and limits? - Success stories and failures (e.g., empirical studies) involving or analyzing end users as active participants in sociotechnical systems in different domains (education, workplace, at home, leisure, etc.). ----------------- Submissions ---------------- Authors are invited to submit a 6-page position paper using the 1-column CEUR template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt The papers can be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=copda2024 All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee.

[CfP] AVI 2024 workshop 'Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2024)'

by Luigi De Russis

** Apologies for cross-posting — deadline approaching (March, 31)** Call for Papers – Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2024) AVI 2024 Workshop June 3-4 2024 – Arenzano (Genova), Italy More info: https://sites.google.com/view/digi-teens --- ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Recently, researchers have been examining the unforeseen issues caused by the excessive use of personal devices and online services, especially as companies increasingly employ "attention-capture" tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users' psychological vulnerabilities, aiming to boost advertising revenue, resulting in tangible repercussions on users' perceived agency and often leading to a perceived lack of control over their technology use. These problems gave rise to a new kind of psychological "digital wellbeing," investigated in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and psychology. Traditional strategies employed by practitioners and researchers involve the creation of Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), i.e., mobile applications and browser extensions that empower users to monitor their usage patterns and implement interventions, such as timers and lock-out mechanisms, to self-regulate device usage. Yet, researchers and the users themselves are starting to warn that achieving digital wellbeing is a path of personal growth that requires education more than self-monitoring strategies. The objective of this workshop is to establish a venue for the academic and industrial communities to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education, aiming to promote the development of strategies and tools to "teach" users – particularly children and teenagers – to use technology more meaningfully and consciously. This objective can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by creating novel DSCTs that include educational aspects, serious games, or collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning at school. This workshop is part of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2024). CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, psychology, design, and/or education to engage in dialog on the topics above. A key priority of our workshop will be to invite submissions from an intellectually diverse and global group of participants to further discussions on how appropriate human-centered design can contribute to digital wellbeing education. Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper (2-4 pages) describing and highlighting their contributions to the workshop topics. The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems; - tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school; - strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing; - novel DSCTs that include educational aspects; - gamification strategies for digital wellbeing; - ethical, social, and political factors. WORKSHOP STRUCTURE This half-day workshop will be interactive and informal. It will combine presentations of accepted position papers with discussions and hands-on sessions, aimed at generating ideas for future research directions. The workshop is planned to be in-person, at the conference. Virtual participation will be made possible. AVI workshops are scheduled for either the 3rd or 4th of June, 2024. Please check back the workshop website soon for the exact dates and scheduling information. SUBMISSIONS Submissions of position papers should be of 2-4 pages, in the ACM Primary Article Submission Templates (single column, https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). PDFs of submissions can be emailed to Alberto Monge Roffarello (one of the organizers) at alberto.monge(a)polito.it. They will be reviewed by all organizers based on relevance, originality, and overall quality. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop. Virtual participation will be made possible. All workshop participants will need to register for the workshop.

[Call for Paper] Workshop Robots for Humans (R4H) @AVI 2024 - - Deadline extension until 10 April 2024

by Eleonora Zedda

We have extended the deadline for the workshop on Robots for Humans at AVI to 10 April. We are eager to learn about your work! *NEW*: Deadline extended to *10 April 2024* * * ############################################################# * Apologies for multiple copies. Please forward to anybody who might be interested, thanks * CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International Workshop Robots for Humans (R4H) Co-located within the 17th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI2024) Arenzano (Genoa), Italy June 3rd or 4th 2024 Workshop website: https://r4h-workshop.github.io/ ############################################################# AIMS AND SCOPE The "Robots for Humans" (R4H) workshop bridges the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) communities. With this workshop, we want to bring together these communities by highlighting the commonalities of the two, stressing their differences, and encouraging the contamination of their methods and results. We aim to do so by recognising that human beings can be the bridge between these two communities and the main objective for a human-centred design approach. With these reflections in mind, our workshop invites HCI and HRI researchers to develop proposals for theoretical, technical and design ideas that highlight thoughts on empowerment and the new challenges posed by the design of robots. We ask researchers to propose both perspectives: the utopian, which imagines ideal scenarios, and the dystopian, which explores potential challenges, reflecting on the role of artefact design and interaction in shaping these visions. Join us to explore the intricate bond between humans and robots for thoughtful HRI advancements. ############################################################# TOPICS Topics included in the workshop, but not limited to, are the following: HCI theories and methods and novel approaches applied to HRI, Cognitive Architectures for HRI. Concept papers on the role of technology and robots in empowering or challenging human well-being. Empirical studies for human empowerment with technology (e.g., SAR, Health care, educational context). Participatory design approaches for HRI applications (e.g., user-centred design for computer and robotic applications, human-centred, and interaction-based design) Research methods and challenges for different contexts (e.g., assistive and education) in the HRI field. Interaction with virtual or physical embodied agents, human factors and human-in-the-loop in HRI, group dynamics in HRI. Design relationship between humans and robots (multi-modal communication, robot personalities, gender robotics, empathy). Diversity, power dynamics, gender, racism, social stereotypes and vulnerable targets of users in HRI. Trust, acceptance and explainability in HRI; personalisation and end-user development of robot applications. Ethical issues (e.g. privacy, misuse and abusive interactions), social risks and fairness in HRI. ############################################################# ORGANISATION AND DURATION We plan to conduct a half-day workshop including the following activities: Welcome and opening (10 min.). Keynote speaker: Dr Giulia Perugia (confirmed) (30 min.) and Q&A (10 min.). Papers/Poster presentations (1.15 min.). Coffee Break (15 min). Focus groups (60 min.) moderated by Dr Carlo Mazzola. Closing remarks (15 min.). The workshop is planned to be in-person. Participants will propose discussion topics for a focus group session in the workshop's second part. Led by moderators, subgroups will facilitate idea exchange in designing HRI applications. Participants will then identify the most significant topics for the workshop at the session's conclusion. AVI workshops are scheduled for either the 3rd or 4th of June, 2024. Please check back the workshop website soon for the exact dates and scheduling information. ############################################################# SUBMISSION AND EVALUATION CRITERIA Workshop participants are invited to submit a position papers (max 6 pages excluding references) The accepted papers will be published in the workshop’s proceedings on CEUR Workshop Proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org/), indexed by Scopus. All submissions should be submitted by mail to r4hworkshop(a)gmail.com in PDF format using the “CEUR Template”: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip.
