[Call for Paper] Workshop Robots for Humans (R4H) @AVI 2024

by Marco Manca

* 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.

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

by Tommaso Calo'

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<mailto:alberto.monge@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. Accepted and presented papers will be made available on CEUR Workshop Proceedings, if possible, while workshop results will be published on our website. Notifications will be mailed to the authors within 15 days of receipt (and no later than the date reported below). IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: 31 March 2024 Notification: 19 April 2024 Camera-ready: 05 May 2024 Registration due: 10 May 2024 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Alberto Monge Roffarello, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Luigi De Russis, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Chiara Ceccarini, Università di Bologna, Italy Catia Prandi, Università di Bologna, Italy

[HWID'2024 Cfp] Human Work Interaction Design Conference

by Angela Locoro

--------------------------------- CfP: Human Work Interaction Design 2024 (HWID'2024) Sustainable Workplaces by Design Università degli Studi di Milano, Milan (Italy) - September 5-6, 2024 Joint conference of the IFIP WG 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design and IFIP WG 13.5 on Human Error, Resilience, Reliability, Safety and System Developmenthttps://hwid2024.unibs.it/hwid2024 --------------------------------- Designing for sustainability extends beyond merely reducing resource consumption and waste. It encompasses environmental, social, and economic dimensions while acknowledging their potential conflicts. Today, designers need to anticipate the impact on future generations, and social equity and justice between workers, while also considering financial performance. It appears clear that focusing solely on individual behaviour change, without considering workplace practices and reaching decision-makers, can only have a limited influence. While interactive systems to support sustainability have been proposed, it is crucial not to overlook the interactive systems used by workers in this endeavor. Beyond being mere tools, automation and AI systems must become work partners collaborating with workers to enhance their performance by taking over repetitive and tedious tasks. However, as these systems increasingly handle high-level cognitive tasks, designing meaningful roles for workers is even more challenging when designers already have to deal with known issues such as complacency, deskilling, monitoring, and takeover performances when automated systems reach their operational limits or fail. Consequently, methods, tools, and processes need to be refined to ensure a positive user experience and identify novel forms of human-automation cooperation for sustainable workplaces. THEME, SCOPE, AND FOCUS The theme of HWID'24 emphasizes the insights into the relationship between the sustainability of workplaces, the anticipatory potentials of design, and how automation and AI may fit the picture. It calls for a workplace design oriented towards sustainability, responsibility, and explainability. Examples of relevant questions include: - What does the very notion of design imply from the point of view of being sustainable, responsible, and explainable, and how can these values be embodied in workplaces? - How to design environment-friendly and humane workplaces? - What individualistic vs collectivistic frictions may emerge from unethical practices, and how can design mitigate them? - How to design workplaces ensuring social equity and well-being when we deal with both biased humans and automated systems? - How to identify, evaluate, and support the new UX interactional patterns between workers and AI and maintain workers' efficiency and well-being? - How can alternative forms of job design (e.g. job crafting) mitigate conflicts between the pursuit of financial profit and the reduction of companies’ impact on the environment? Can automation help? Topics of interest include: - Artificial Intelligence and Intelligence Augmentation in the workplace - Collaborative robots - Virtual Assistants - Digital Twins - Cyber-physical systems - Automation for social equity and well-being - User experience in workplaces and novel forms of human-computer cooperation - Sustainability, Responsibility, and Ethics of Technology in Workplaces This working conference aims to answer these and more questions by involving professionals working in academia, national labs, and industry who are engaged in human work analysis and interaction design for sustainable workplaces. We will discuss tools, procedures, and professional competencies needed to face issues and opportunities provided by workplace design's sustainable and automatization perspectives. IMPORTANT DATES in 2024 Submission deadline: April 21st, 2024 Notification to authors: June 2nd, 2024 Camera ready: June 28th, 2024 Conference: September 5-6, 2024 SUBMISSIONS We invite authors to submit full papers (max 8 pages, excluding references) formatted according to LNCS template available on the Springer website: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… The link to the submission system: https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/HWID2024 Each paper will be reviewed by three reviewers. The collection of all accepted papers will be distributed to the participants as digital proceedings before the conference. During the review process, the reviewers will be asked to evaluate whether an extended version of the paper is suitable for an IFIP Springer book (IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology) that will be edited and published after the conference (before the end of 2024).

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

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.
