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 actual 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 2024 is under the patronage of University of Genoa, Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics and Systems Engineering, Italy. We look forward to your participation in AVI 2024!

We welcome workshops with a creative structure that may attract various types of participants and may ensure rich interactions. *Expectations*: The organizers of accepted workshops are expected to set up a webpage for the workshop including detailed information about the workshop organization and timeline, disseminate a call for papers, a call for participation, select reviewers, and gather reviews before selecting the final program. They will be responsible for their own publicity and reviewing processes. *Proceedings*: There will be conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM, and available via the ACM Digital Library. A camera-ready summary of the workshop should be written by the organizers to be included in these adjunct proceedings. Moreover, all workshop papers will be published in the same proceedings. Hence, the workshop organizers will need to make sure that the authors of workshop papers adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication timeline. *Camera-ready Information*: Accepted summaries/papers will require a further revision in order to meet the requirements and the page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the summaries/papers will be provided after acceptance. We strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX/Overleaf for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting. Users of the Word template must use either the version for Microsoft Word for Windows, Macintosh Office 2011, or Macintosh Office 2016 (other formats such as Open Office, etc., are not admitted) for the camera-ready submission to avoid incompatibility issues. ** Registration and Presentation Policy ** Each accepted workshop summary must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the early registration date cut-off. Each workshop has to be run by all organizers. Therefore, each workshop organizer must be registered (at least 25% in person, the remaining online). Each accepted workshop summary will be included in the conference adjunct proceedings. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. Each accepted workshop paper must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the early registration date cut-off. Each accepted workshop paper can be presented either in person or online and will be included in the conference adjunct proceedings. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024.

*** CAiSE'24 Forum: Second Call for Papers and Tool Demonstrations *** 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'24) June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/ (*** Submission Deadline: 4th March, 2024 AoE ***) The CAiSE Forum is a space within the CAiSE conference to present and discuss the new exciting ideas and tools related to Information Systems Engineering. The Forum intends to serve as an interactive platform, encourage potential authors to present emerging topics and controversial positions, and demonstrate innovative systems, tools, and applications. The Forum sessions at the CAiSE conference will facilitate the interaction, discussion, and exchange of ideas among presenters and participants. Contributions to the CAiSE'24 Forum are welcome to address any of the CAiSE'24 conference topics and, particularly, this year's theme—Information Systems in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. We invite two types of submissions: • Visionary papers present innovative research projects, which are still at a relatively early stage and do not necessarily include a full-scale validation. Visionary papers will be presented as posters in the Forum. • Demo papers describe innovative tools and prototypes that implement the results of research efforts. The tools and prototypes will be presented as demos in the Forum, accompanied by a poster. Both visionary papers and demo papers must not exceed 8 pages in LNCS format. See authors' guidelines at the Springer site: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… . Papers should be submitted in PDF format through the conference management system available at Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=caise2024) and select the Forum option. The submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. PUBLICATION AND PRESENTATIONS Accepted papers will be published by Springer in a CAISE Forum proceedings volume within the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series (https://www.springer.com/series/7911). Authors should consult Springer's authors guidelines and use their LaTeX or Word proceedings templates for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made. It is expected that at least one of the authors attends CAiSE'24, presents the poster/delivers the demo, and interacts with the Forum participants. We also envision a short oral presentation for all papers to attract participants to the posters.

ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Late-Breaking Results and Demos

by Wanling Cai

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * Online version: https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-lbr-and-demos/ ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Late-Breaking Results and Demos ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy July 1-4, 2024 The 32nd International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2024) is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP 2024 is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI<https://sigchi.org/> and SIGWEB<https://www.sigweb.org/>. User Modeling Inc.<https://um.org/>, as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. ACM UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduct<https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment>. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library. ACM UMAP 2024 invites Late-Breaking Results (LBR) papers as well as Demonstrations (demos) of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes). The topics for these submissions are the same as the ones included in the Call for Full and Short Papers<https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-full-and-short-papers/>. However, their scope and timing is different. In particular, although short papers (from the main track) and the LBR papers of this call have the same maximum length, LBR papers are expected to present innovative ideas that are being explored and have already shown some promising results. It is also a dissemination channel for new research directions. Mature results which have already gone through experimental validation are more suitable for the general call, either as a full or short paper. Thus, rejected papers from the main track are not expected to be a valuable contribution as an LBR paper unless their contents are revised to address the scope of this track. Note also that LBR papers are to be presented physically during the conference in a poster format, allowing for more informal discussions on the ideas shared. Demos are intended to present systems that have been used to achieve the research outcomes presented as full and short papers. Thus, we highly recommend authors of accepted full and short papers to also prepare a submission for a demo of their system to be showcased at the conference in the LBR and Demo session. ** Important Dates ** Submission: April 18, 2024 Notification: May 9 2024 Camera-ready Submission (TAPS system): May 16, 2024 Conference: July 1 – 4, 2024 Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth)<https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe> time. Submission All submissions must be written in English. Papers should be submitted electronically, in a PDF format, through the EasyChair submission system, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap24, by selecting the “UMAP24 Late Breaking Results and Demo Papers” track ** Length and Formatting ** -- Late-Breaking Results Format -- * Page Limits. Up to 7 pages, plus up to 2 additional pages for references (figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit). * Proceedings. Publication in ACM UMAP 2024 adjunct proceedings. * Presentation. Physically presented as a poster during the conference. * Description. LBRs are research-in-progress that must contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of UMAP. In addition, papers introducing recently started research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well. We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit late-breaking work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. In case that papers rejected in the main track (i.e. submitted as full or short papers) are submitted to this track, they should be revised not only to take into account the comments made to help improve the paper, but to fulfill the scope of the LBR, which emphasizes novelty of ideas. This is also valid for papers that have been recommended as an LBR when rejected in the main track. -- Demos Format -- * Page Limits *. Up to 5 pages, plus up to 1 additional page for references (figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit). On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2024. * Supporting Material *. Video or external material demonstrating the system. * Proceedings *. Publication in ACM UMAP 2024 adjunct proceedings. * Presentation * . Physically presented as a demo plus as a poster during the conference. * Description *. Demos will showcase research prototypes and commercially available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference. Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase implementations and get valuable feedback from the community, especially for those papers that have been presented in the main track. Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how these will be demonstrated on-site as well as online. To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or YouTube) or any external material related to the demo (e.g., shared code on GitHub). Non-Anonymity. Submissions will be reviewed single-masked (i.e., authors’ names should be included in the papers) thus there is no need to be anonymized before submission. Template for the Research Description. Following the ACM Publication Workflow<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in the new ACM single-column format. Instructions for authors are given below: * LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript, review, anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with LaTeX<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>. * Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Overleaf<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/overleaf>. * Word. Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Microsoft Word<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…> Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com<mailto:acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com> for LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries. * Accessibility *. Authors are strongly encouraged to provide “alt text” (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author and it broadens the reader base for the author’s work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Additionally, authors should follow the ACM Accessibility Recommendations for Publishing in Color and SIG ACCESS guidelines on describing figures<https://authors.acm.org/journals/accessibility-recommendations-for-publishi…>. ** Review Process & Camera-ready Submission ** * Review * Submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall readability. Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the formatting guidelines will be returned without review. The ACM Code of Ethics<https://ethics.acm.org/> gives the UMAP program committee the right to (desk-)reject papers that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, employ unethical research practices, or uncritically present outcomes/implications that clearly disadvantage minority communities. Further, reviewers will be explicitly asked to consider whether the research was conducted in compliance with professional ethical standards and applicable regulatory guidelines. Failure to do so could lead to a (desk-)rejection. * Camera-ready Information *. Accepted papers will be subject to further revision to meet the requirements of the camera-ready format required by ACM. We strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX/Overleaf for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting. Users of the Word template must use either the version for Microsoft Word for Windows, Macintosh Office 2011, or Macintosh Office 2016 (other formats such as Open Office, etc., are not admitted) for the camera-ready submission to avoid incompatibility issues. Instructions for preparing the camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be provided after acceptance. This might include instructions to prepare a video of the accepted contribution. Camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be later submitted using ACM’s new production platform<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML output formats before publication. ** Registration and Presentation Policy ** Each accepted paper must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the early registration date cut-off. Each accepted paper must be presented in person to be included in the conference adjunct proceedings, published by ACM and available via the ACM Digital Library. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. During the conference, all categories will be presented at the poster reception, in the form of a poster and/or a software demonstration following poster format. This form of presentation will provide presenters with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the conference. ** Late-Breaking Results and Demos Chairs ** * Bamshad Mobasher, DePaul University, USA * Hanna Hauptmann, Utrecht University, Netherlands * Olga C. Santos, Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia (UNED), Spain Contact information: umap2024-lbr at um.org

IC2E 2024 invites submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully developed results and ongoing foundational and applied work related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The IC2E Program Committee will interpret “cloud engineering” very broadly – to include everything from engineering principles to practical experiences, and advances that target different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and industry. In particular, submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities are encouraged. Authors can choose to submit their papers under either the Research and Vision or Industry and Experience Track. Submissions are invited on the following non-exhaustive list of topics for both tracks: * Cloud management and engineering, from single (micro-)services to complete system landscapes * Cloud applications, ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT) over Big Data to Machine Learning * Cloud systems, including storage, data distribution, and serverless computing * Cloud security and privacy concerns on all levels of the Cloud stack * Fog and Edge Computing, and all other system types in the Cloud-Edge Compute Continuum * Everything as a Service * Non-technical aspects of Cloud Computing, e.g., Cloud governance or cloud economics For a full list of the topics, please visit https://conferences.computer.org/IC2E/2024/. IC2E is looking for the following three types of paper submissions: * Research papers describe original well-evaluated research. Novelty is a key criterion in the review process. * Vision papers describe speculative but well-reasoned and inspiring papers. Here, the insights and clarity of the vision are of key concern. * Industry and experience papers describe how existing research has been transferred into practice. The review focus is on the lessons learned, including those relevant for researchers. Research and vision papers should be submitted to the Research Track, industry and experience papers to the Industry Track. Vision papers should have "(Vision Paper)" as a subtitle on the first page. ###SUBMISSION### Authors must submit full and short papers in PDF via the Web submission form at EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ic2e2024), upon selecting Research Track or Industry Track options. Both Research Track and Industry Track papers should use the IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings for formatting. LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}, without including the compsoc or compsocconf options. As reviewers often ask for additional content, IC2E differentiates between paper formatting for reviewing and for the final published version: * Full papers: For reviewing, full papers (including figures and tables) should not exceed 9 double-column pages; references can be additional pages. For the final published version, full papers are limited to a total of 12 double-column pages including everything. * Short papers: For reviewing, short papers are limited to 5 pages, not including references, and should be clearly marked as such in the title. For the final published version, short papers are limited to 8 pages, including everything. IC2E supports Open Science practices. Therefore, authors are strongly encouraged to publish software and data sets as open-source/data. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Depending on the paper type, submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted manuscripts must contain original contributions, and their contributions must not have appeared in or be under consideration for publication in another workshop, conference, or journal. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed). ###ORGANIZATION & CONTACT### General Chairs: * George Pallis University of Cyprus, Cyprus * Weisong Shi University of Delaware, US TPC Chairs: * Xiaohui (Helen) Gu North Carolina State University, US * Stefan Schulte Hamburg University of Technology, Germany

The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library<https://dl.acm.org/>. The theme of UMAP 2024 is “Collaboration and Cooperation for the Greater Good“. Specifically, we welcome submissions that highlight the impact that working together and synergy (such as between academia, industry, influential policy making bodies, committees and communities) can have on solving the world’s biggest problems; the focus is on investigations that capture how user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems may influence user behavior, trustful processes and whether new models are required, for building sustainable and inclusive services and solutions that can address critical challenges of our world. While we encourage submissions related to this theme, the scope of the conference is not limited to the theme only. As always, contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). Important Dates - Paper Abstract Submission: January 22, 2024 (mandatory) - Paper Submission: January 29, 2024 - Notification: March 28, 2024 - Camera-ready Submission: May 9, 2024 - Conference: July 1 – 4, 2024 The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth). Conference Topics We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems targeting a broad range of users and domains. Detailed descriptions and the suggested topics for each track will be available shortly in the extended version of the CFP on this page. ** Personalized Recommender Systems ** This track invites works from researchers and practitioners on recommender systems. In addition to mature research works addressing technical aspects of recommendations, we welcome research contributions that address questions related to user perception, decision-making, and the business value of recommender systems. ** Knowledge Graphs, Semantics, Social and Adaptive Web ** This track welcomes works focused on the use of knowledge representations (i.e., novel knowledge bases), graph algorithms (i.e., graph embedding techniques), and social network analysis at the service of addressing all aspects of personalization, user model building, and personal experience in online social systems. Moreover, this track invites works in adaptive hypermedia, as well as semantic and social web. ** Intelligent User Interfaces ** This track invites works exploring how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter and more productive, leveraging solutions from human-computer interaction, data mining, natural language processing, information visualization, and knowledge representation and reasoning. ** Personalizing Learning Experiences through User Modeling ** This track invites researchers, developers, and practitioners from various disciplines to submit their innovative learning solutions, share acquired experiences, and discuss their modeling challenges for personalized adaptive learning. ** Fairness, Transparency, Accountability, and Privacy ** Researchers, developers, and practitioners have a social responsibility to account for the impact that technologies have on individuals (users, providers, and other stakeholders) and society. This track invites works related to the science of building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying adaptive systems that are fair, transparent, respectful of users’ privacy, beneficial to society, and accountable for their impacts. ** Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems ** This track invites submissions focused on personalization and tailoring for persuasive technologies, including but not limited to personalization models, user models, computational personalization, design, and evaluation methods. It also welcomes work that brings attention to the user experience and designing personalized and adaptive behavior change technologies. ** Virtual Assistants, Conversational Interactions, and Personalized Human-Robot Interaction ** This track invites works investigating new models and techniques for adapting synthetic companions (e.g., virtual assistants, chatbots, social robots) to individual users. With the conversational modality so in vogue across disciplines, this track welcomes work highlighting the model and deployment of synthetic companions driven by conversational search and recommendation paradigms. ** Research Methods and Reproducibility** This track invites submissions on methodologies to evaluate personalized systems, benchmarks, and measurement scales, with particular attention to the reproducibility of results and techniques. Furthermore, the track looks for submissions that report new insights from reproducing existing works. ** Submission and Review Process** For UMAP 2024 we encourage two kinds of submissions (reviewers will comment on whether the size is appropriate for each contribution), in the ACM new single-column format<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>: * Long papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The maximum length is 14 pages (excluding references, which do not count towards the limit). Each accepted long paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program. * Short papers typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking strong theoretical foundation. The maximum length is 7 pages (excluding references, which do not count towards the limit). Each accepted short paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented either as an oral presentation or at the poster session. UMAP uses a double-blind review process. Authors must omit their names and affiliations from their submissions; they should also avoid obvious identifying statements. For instance, citations to the authors’ prior work should be in the third person. Submissions not abiding by anonymity requirements will be desk rejected. In addition, UMAP 2024 will introduce a new “Raise Your Voice” stage during evaluation, offering a small window to authors to optionally discuss the initial decision of their submission, enhancing the transparency and quality of the reviewing process. Additional review criteria and submission link will be available shortly on the conference website: https://www.um.org/umap2024. UMAP has a no dual submission policy, which is why full and short paper submissions should not be currently under review at another publication venue. Further, UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduc<https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment>t.
