Call for Proposal - ACM CSCW 2023 Special Interest Groups (SIG)

by Sayan Sarcar

[Apologies for the cross-posting] Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) 2023—for the first time—will offer Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as another way for people from diverse backgrounds and interests to join together around shared research initiatives. SIGs enable conference attendees to meet informally about a common interest, which may include specific technologies, societal concerns, curious human behaviors or any other topic where there has been or could be CSCW research. A SIG can be an excellent space for dialog and may incorporate novel facilitation strategies, from group discussion to collective storytelling, roleplay, and even sketching activities to help SIG participants creatively engage with a topic. While CSCW 2023 will be a hybrid conference from October 16-18, the SIG sessions will all be facilitated in-person in Minnesota, USA. Submission Details SIG proposals must be submitted via the PCS system as a single PDF by May 11, 2023. Each submission must include a SIG Proposal (5-pages) as well as Supplementary Materials describing the facilitation strategy and requirements for the in-person session at the conference (2-pages). Accepted proposals will be published as Extended Abstracts in the Conference Proceedings. During the conference, CSCW will provide each SIG with a meeting space for 75-minutes and will help to advertise the meetings in various ways. - Online submission: PCS Submission System - Template: ACM Master Article Submission Templates (single column) - Submission format: A proposal including references (maximum 5-pages) and mandatory supplementary material describing the SIG (2-pages). - Selection Process: Juried How have other academic communities engaged with the topic of your SIG? The SIG Proposal (5-pages) should clearly articulate a compelling reason for the SIG. Authors are strongly encouraged to describe the topic in a maximum of 20 primary references with approximately half of the references coming from ACM publications and the other half from sources beyond the ACM. This is not a hard rule as much as it is a challenge to seek out interdisciplinary opportunities for collaboration. Develop the proposal collaboratively with a group of people. While not strictly required, we prefer that proposals be authored by a minimum of two individuals representing at least two different organizations or communities. Clearly describe the activities you would like to facilitate during your SIG. The Supplementary Material (also mandatory) using the same template should be no more than 2-pages in length. Accepted SIGs will have a scheduled, 75-minute long session at the conference. After your SIG is accepted, we will notify you what technical support will be available. Rooms will be set up to facilitate discussion. The following details about the SIG session should be included in the Supplementary Material: (1) A brief description of the community (or communities) to which this SIG would be of interest and why it is of interest, (2) assumed attendee background, (3) the approach you will use for organizing and presenting the SIG, (4) an informal schedule of discussion topics, (5) your plan to attract a reasonable number of attendees, and (6) which organizer should serve as the primary contact. As you develop a plan for your SIG proposal, please pay attention to accessibility considerations. Follow recommendations found in the Guide to an Accessible Submission <https://sigchi.org/conferences/author-resources/accessibility-guide/>. If you have any questions or concerns about creating accessible submissions, please contact the Accessibility Chairs at accessibility2023(a)cscw.acm.org <accessibility(a)chi2023.acm.org>. All deadlines are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time - Deadline for submissions due: Thursday, May 11, 2023 - Notification of acceptance: Thursday, June 15, 2023 Selection process Although the process is highly selective, it does not necessarily follow a reviewing process by a committee, and authors should not expect to receive formal feedback on their submission other than the selection decision. Specifically, we will consider the following criteria: 1. Appeal to the community: Is the topic both timely and of wide enough appeal to attract a significant audience? At the same time, is the topic sufficiently focused to allow for productive discussion during the SIG meeting? Too narrow, and the SIG might attract too few people; too broad, and it is difficult for progress to be made in the relatively short duration of a SIG. 2. Format: Is the proposed format conducive to discussion and shared insight? Will it be possible to achieve its aims? SIGs are not workshops, nor project showcases, nor tutorials. 3. Diversity of perspective: It helps to be able to show that the SIG will be able to encompass a wide perspective, and that the organizers can accommodate and facilitate discussion across this breadth. Places to show this are in the description of the intended community, the assumed attendee background, and the home institutions and disciplines of the organizers. 4. Continuity: Does the SIG support the development of a longer term interest group, for example follow-on SIGs or other types of contributions at subsequent CSCW and other conferences? If the topic is a very recent or new one, or a revival of an old topic, then arguments will need to be made, to demonstrate that it is a topic that will persist, rather than simply being this year’s fashion. If the topic is a continuation of previous SIG(s), then it is necessary to present the latest developments of the topic and their projection into the future. 5. Anonymity: Submissions should not contain sensitive, private, or proprietary information that cannot be disclosed at publication time. Submissions should NOT be anonymous. However, confidentiality of submissions will be maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until the start of the conference, with the exception of title and author information which will be published on the website prior to the conference. Upon Acceptance of Your Submission The corresponding author of a conditionally accepted paper has to follow the instructions on preparing and submitting a final version by the Publication-Ready Deadline. If the authors cannot meet these requirements by the Publication-Ready deadline, the venue chairs will be notified and may be required to remove the paper from the program. The publication-ready version has to follow the LaTeX and Word templates from ACM. Should you need technical assistance, please direct your technical query to: pubs2023(a)cscw.acm.org. For more details, check the website: https://cscw.acm.org/2023/index.php/submit-sig/ Thanks for your time and we hope to see you at CSCW 2023! Best, Brian McInnis and Sayan Sarcar sigs2023(a)cscw.acm.org

10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023): Fifth Call for Submissions

by georgeangelos60＠gmail.com

*** Fifth Call for Submissions *** 10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023) October 24-26, 2023, Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/esocc2023/ (Proceedings to be published in Springer LNCS; Journal Special Issue with Springer Computing) AIM AND SCOPE Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the primary approaches to build large-scale distributed systems and deliver software services to end users. Cloud-native software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of (micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the increasing growth of their computing capabilities. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe. ESOCC aims to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.

HCSE@INTERACT 2023 Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering - Call for Papers (Submissions due: May 08)

by Stefan Sauer

*(Apologies if you receive multiple e-mails on this subject via different channels!)* https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023 *Call for Papers* HCSE@INTERACT 2023 International Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering Rethinking the Interplay of Human–Computer Interaction and Software Engineering in the Age of Digital Transformation organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 onMethodologies for User-Centered Systems Design atINTERACT 2023 <https://interact2023.org/> The 19th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction August 28/29, 2023 York, United Kingdom Theme The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by a process of technological transformation that is affecting the social structure across the globe. It has changed the way of shopping, of relating to others, of living. At the core of the process are technologies that generate important cultural impacts in our lives. In Europe, this process is differently named, depending on the different countries: digitisation, digital transformation, digital transition, etc. Here we call it digital transformation, but no matter how you name it, it has in fact revolutionized every market and company, as well as our life. We follow the definition by Gong & Ribiere (2020) that states that Digital transformation is “A fundamental change process, enabled by the innovative use of digital technologies accompanied by the strategic leverage of key resources and capabilities, aiming to radically improve an entity* and redefine its value proposition for its stakeholders.” (*An entity could be: an organization, a business network, an industry, or society.). Various technologies enable the digital transformation process: mobile and wearable devices, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain, Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Digital Twin, Cybersecurity. However, while introducing undeniable benefits, they also bring some important issues. This workshop is looking for contributions from various fields, with a focus on: * the domain of Internet of Things (IoT) and IoT devices that are becoming more pervasive and social * IoT also introduces issues from the cybersecurity perspective * The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on human lives and the economywith the problem thatthe required computing power is high, there are worriesof how AI models predict the output, data privacy and securityetc * Digital Twin (DT) is another protagonist of the digital transformation process. It is a virtual replica of a real-world object that is run in a simulation environment to mirror its physical pendant, with digital and physical twins influencing each other including the ability to perform predictions. * benefits and issues of other technologies: usability of mobile and wearable devices, as well as of Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality; user awareness about the usage and the security of Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain. What emerges is that Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) is more relevant than ever. The interplay between Human–Computer Interaction and Software Engineering needs to be rethought and fortified for a rapid response to the evolution of technologies, while also considering aspects such as greater agility in service development, sustainability, ethical considerations, cybersecurity, user mindset and awareness, to name just a few. But also the approaches for addressing them have to be carefully considered. For example, some software development companies show an increasing interest in low-code development platforms to facilitate application development by domain experts without sophisticated software development knowledge, as a possible solution to the need of more agile, fast and also sustainable service development. Domain experts are, however, not trained in software development methods. This introduces a risk of domain experts creating unusable applications or exceeding the designated time frame of a project (or both). <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.kzuma82xxlaf> Objective In this workshop, we aim to broaden the traditional scope of the workshop series of IFIP Working Group 13.2beyond the traditional themes of IFIP 13.2 workshops. Particularly, this edition promotes sharing of knowledge and experiences that address how to deal with the challenges of the digital transformation and its influence on human-centered socio-technical system design and development practices. This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized atINTERACT 2015 in Bamberg, Germany <https://www.irit.fr/recherches/ICS/events/conferences/workshop-IFIPWG13.2-B…>,INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India <http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>,INTERACT 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifip-wg-13-2-workshop-interact/home>, andINTERACT 2021 in Bari, Italy <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/>. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_iJ1JDR1kenC0> Target Audience and Expected Outcomes This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human–computer interaction from a user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this workshop focus on methods, processes and approaches for designing, building and testing interactive systems. We expect a high participation of IFIP Working Group 13.2 members. We particularly invite participants to present position papers describing real-life case studies that illustrate how they rethought HCI’s and SE’s interplay in order to address aspects such as agile development, sustainability, ethical considerations, and cybersecurity. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface design are welcome. We are especially interested in work that deals with current trends that change the way humans use, interact and collaborate with technical components in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and tools that combine human-centered design and software engineering practices. Position papers will be made available through the workshop website. Furthermore, an extended version of selected papers will be considered for inclusion in a Springer LNCS post-proceedings volume published in conjunction with the other INTERACT workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_OX43lXt1eneG> Workshop Format This full-day workshopisin person only. Itisorganized around presentation of position papers and working activities in small groups. From the set of contributions, a subset of selected case studies will be invited to be presented at the beginning of the workshop and will be used to support the discussion that follows. The morning session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and presenting case studies. Participants will be invited to comment on the case studies and to report similar experiences. The afternoon sessions will be devoted to interactive sessions, where participants will be engaged to work in small groups and propose solutions to the problems of the case st udies seen in the morning. Solutions proposed by the participants will be compiled and compared. Based on the lessons learned, participants will be incited to draft an agenda of future work that can be accomplished. We plan to run the workshoponsite in person only. If circumstances require it, we intend to switch to a completely digital format that will be run online. We will continuously adapt to any decision regarding the conference format by the INTERACT 2023 organizers. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_ID_80> Submission Instructions In order to attend the workshop, participants are invited to submit position papers reporting original academic or industrial research relevant to the workshop's theme.

HCI-E2: Workshop on HCI Engineering Education @ INTERACT 2023 2nd CfP

by Davide Spano

------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- HCI-E2: Workshop on HCI Engineering Education http://ui-engineering.org/activities/hci-engineering-education-2023/ In conjunction with INTERACT 2023 York 28 August - 1 September 2023 https://interact2023.org Submit your paper at https://ise.di.uminho.pt/hci-e2/openconf.php ---------------- Overview ---------------- The workshop aims at carrying forward work on identifying, examining, structuring, and sharing educational resources and approaches to support the process of teaching/learning Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Engineering. The widening range of available interaction technologies and their applications in increasingly varied contexts (private or professional) underlines the importance of teaching HCI Engineering but also the difficulty of taking into account changes and developments in this field in often static university curricula. Besides, as these technologies are taught in diverse curricula (ranging from Human Factors and Psychology to hardcore Computer Science), we are interested in what the best approaches and best practices are to integrate HCI Engineering topics in the curricula of programs in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Human-computer Interaction, Psychology, Design, etc. ----------------- Scope ----------------- Engineering interactive systems is a multidisciplinary endeavour positioned at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Software Engineering, Usability Engineering, Interaction Design, Visual Design, and other disciplines. The Human-Computer Interaction Engineering (HCI-E) field is concerned with providing methods, techniques, and tools for the systematic and effective design, development, testing, evaluation, and deployment of interactive systems in a wide range of application domains. HCI techniques, methods and tools, as well as many other novel forms of interaction, involve aspects that need to be adequately addressed in the curricula of programs in HCI, Software Engineering and Computer Science. This begs the question of how best to address these topics in those curricula, and what the best approaches to address them are. When considering education about HCI Engineering, we need to think about who is being educated as there is likely to be different curriculum scope and educational methods for different types of learners. There are two main distinctions likely influencing these methods: - Technical vs non-technical. Students in Computer Science and similar areas are likely to be the main consumers of detailed HCI-E education. However, the creation of interactive applications “requires input from science, engineering and design disciplines” and multidisciplinary teamwork requires from participants an increased understanding and appreciation for other disciplines. It is also important for those who are likely to have a more interface design or user research role to able to appreciate the limits of technology and the potential impacts of architectural design choices. - Student vs practitioner. It is likely that the primary interest of many participants will be university education. However, developers are often involved in lively online discussions about different frameworks, and even in the use of monads in interactive JavaScript. Interaction Design Foundation courses attract tens of thousands of UX practitioners worldwide, evidencing the desire of on-the-job learning in both communities. ----------------- Audience ----------------- We would like to bring together experiences from people teaching HCI concepts impacting how we engineer interactive systems and from people working in HCI-E to identify topics and methods that should be included in teaching this subject. Besides the courses in HCI-E, interesting inputs may arrive from HCI courses outside the CS curriculum requiring to communicate engineering challenges, or from more general software engineering courses discussing aspects related to human factors. Hence, we will solicit contributions from the HCI-E-related communities, and we will be very interested in welcoming members of the educational community, for a fruitful discussion. ----------------- Goals ----------------- We identify two types of potential outcomes that could define the group activities during the workshop: Educational resources – One goal is to create a repository of educational resources for HCI-E including cases studies, projects and exercises. These educational resources need to be described in a common structure. The definition of this structure was started at the previous workshop. A goal of the workshop will be to extend and consolidate this structure as well as to describe these resources according to this structure. HCI-E Education Roadmap – Edited volume: Depending on the quality of the submissions and the workshop results, revised versions of the contributions will be published on an edited volume. Alternatively, we will produce a journal paper summarizing and consolidating the contributions, in the form of an HCI Engineering Education roadmap. ----------------- Submissions ----------------- Position papers (6-10 pages in Springer format) must report experiences related to HCI Engineering education. Submissions could report software engineering units including some aspects of HCI-E, curricula or teaching units dedicated to HCI-E, case studies/projects demonstrating aspects of HCI-E, evaluation of students’ skills related to HCI-E, training non-technical and mixed students in HCI-E, training appropriate aspects of HCI-E to professionals/practitioners, a new teaching modality promising for teaching HCI-E, introducing HCI-E into existing curricula, etc. Authors could also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and their motivation to participate in this workshop. Link for submissions: https://ise.di.uminho.pt/hci-e2/openconf.php ----------------- Important Dates ----------------- Submission deadline: May 15th, 2023 Notification deadline: June 15th, 2023 Workshop: to be announced Deadlines are AoE. ----------------- Organizers ----------------- José C.

EXTENDED DEADLINE - PATCH 2023: International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage

by Noemi Mauro

CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH 2023) Held in conjunction with ACM UMAP 2023 - Limassol, Cyprus. https://patch2023.di.unito.it/index.html Important dates: April 25, 2023: paper submission April 20, 2023: paper submission May 8, 2023: notification to authors May 18, 2023: camera-ready due The workshop will be in person. However, in very exceptional circumstances we might accept a remote participation, to be discussed with us at paper submission time. Abstract and Topics Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2023 will again be the meeting point between state-of-the-art cultural heritage (CH) research and personalization research. Focused on those using different types of technology, with emphasis on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, used to enhance the personal experience in CH sites. The workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are working on various aspects of CH and are interested in exploring the potential of state-of-the-art mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance the CH visiting experience. The expected result of the workshop is a multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research directions and, hopefully, forge some research collaborations. Motivation Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a primary area for personalization research. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing to experience and learn new things, with expectations but possibly without a clear idea of what they will find there. The Museum Experience Revisited, by John Falk and Lynn Dierking (2013), argues that the visitor’s experience is constructed by the intertwining of the personal, the social, and the physical context. The experience begins before the visit, when one starts to think about it, and lasts well after leaving the building. Indeed CH is rich in objects and information and offers much more than the visitor can absorb during their limited time in situ. Hence, visitors may benefit from individualized support that takes into account contextual and personal attributes. 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: - Adaptive navigation and personalized browsing in digital and physical cultural heritage collections and in CH sites - Ambient Cultural Heritage - Personalization for group of visitors to CH sites - Personalization for collective CH information authoring and management - Creativity and collaboration support in CH - Personalized mobile museum guides & personal museum assistants - Personalization by Citizen Curation - Recommendation strategies for CH - Adaptation strategies for text and non-verbal content in CH - NLG techniques and conversational agents for CH - (User Interaction with) Integration of virtual and physical collections - Analysis of behavior patterns to improve CH recommendation - Personalization across the whole of a person's digital ecosystem (including CH) - Long-term personalization in CH - IoT and Cultural Heritage - Human-Robots adaptation in museums - 3D, Virtual and Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage - Context-aware information presentation in CH - Interactive user interfaces for CH applications - Use of personality for guiding Cultural Heritage Experiences - Participatory CH including multiple viewpoints and perspectives - Community mapping for CH information sharing - Multiple viewpoints and perspectives for CH - Remote access to CH - Personalized support to the exploration of Cultural and Natural Heritage 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://patch2023.di.unito.it/submission.html . All papers should be submitted in PDF format via the online submission system by selecting the track "The 14th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH 2023)": https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23 . 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.

ICMI 2023 2nd Call for Papers

by gualtiero.volpe＠unige.it

================================= ACM ICMI 2023 2ND CALL FOR PAPERS ================================= 9-13 October 2023, Paris - France https://icmi.acm.org/2023/ ================================= The 25th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2023) will be held in Paris, France. ICMI is the premier international forum that brings together multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) and social interaction research. Multimodal AI encompasses technical challenges in machine learning and computational modeling such as representations, fusion, data and systems. The study of social interactions englobes both human-human interactions and human-computer interactions. A unique aspect of ICMI is its multidisciplinary nature which values both scientific discoveries and technical modeling achievements, with an eye towards impactful applications for the good of people and society. This year, the conference is pleased to welcome 3 keynote speakers: * Maja Mataric (Interaction Lab, University of Southern California) * Sophie Scott (Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London) * Simone Natale (University of Turin) We are keen to showcase novel input and output modalities and interactions to the ICMI community. ICMI 2023 will feature a single-track main conference which includes: keynote speakers, technical full and short papers (including oral and poster presentations), demonstrations, exhibits, doctoral spotlight papers, and late-breaking papers. The conference will also feature workshops and grand challenges. The proceedings of all ICMI 2023 papers, including Long and Short Papers, will be published by ACM as part of their series of International Conference Proceedings and Digital Library, and the adjunct proceedings will feature the workshop papers. Novelty will be assessed along two dimensions: scientific novelty and technical novelty. Accepted papers at ICMI 2023 will need to be novel along one of the two dimensions: * Scientific Novelty: Papers should bring new scientific knowledge about human social interactions, including human-computer interactions. For example, discovering new behavioral markers that are predictive of mental health or how new behavioral patterns relate to children’s interactions during learning. It is the responsibility of the authors to perform a proper literature review and clearly discuss the novelty in the scientific discoveries made in their paper. * Technical Novelty: Papers reviewed with this sub-criterion should include novelty in their computational approach for recognizing, generating or modeling data. Examples include: novelty in the learning and prediction algorithms, in the neural architecture, or in the data representation. Novelty can also be associated with new usages of an existing approach. Please see the Submission Guidelines for Authors https://icmi.acm.org/2023/guidelines-for-authors/ for detailed submission instructions. This year’s conference theme: The theme for this year’s conference is “Science of Multimodal Interactions”. As the community grows, it is important to understand the main scientific pillars involved in deep understanding of multimodal and social interactions. As a first step, we want to acknowledge key discoveries and contributions that the ICMI community enabled over the past 20+ years. As a second step, we reflect on the core principles, foundational methodologies and scientific knowledge involved in studying and modeling multimodal interactions. This will help establish a distinctive research identity for the ICMI community while at the same time embracing its multidisciplinary collaborative nature. This research identity and long-term agenda will enable the community to develop future technologies and applications while maintaining commitment to world-class scientific research. Additional topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Affective computing and interaction * Cognitive modeling and multimodal interaction * Gesture, touch and haptics * Healthcare, assistive technologies * Human communication dynamics * Human-robot/agent multimodal interaction * Human-centered A.I. and ethics * Interaction with smart environment * Machine learning for multimodal interaction * Mobile multimodal systems * Multimodal behaviour generation * Multimodal datasets and validation * Multimodal dialogue modeling * Multimodal fusion and representation * Multimodal interactive applications * Novel multimodal datasets * Speech behaviours in social interaction * System components and multimodal platforms * Visual behaviours in social interaction * Virtual/augmented reality and multimodal interaction Submissions: ------------ Please note that the instructions were updated as of March 17th, 2023. All submissions are expected for reviewing in PDF. The submission format is the double column ACM conference format (see https://icmi.acm.org/2023/guidelines-for-authors/) The length depends on the different submission categories: * Long paper: The maximum length is 8 pages using latex or Word (excluding references). * Short paper: The maximum length is 4 pages using latex or Word (excluding references). The submissions can be submitted online on: https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions/icmi23a ACM Publication Policies ------------------------ By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects.

4th International Workshop on Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems (EMPATHY) - Deadline extended to May 7th

by Andrea Mattioli

*Apologies for cross-posting* *Call for papers* ***Submission deadline extended to May 7th*** EMPATHY: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems - 4th Edition https://empathy-ws.github.io/2023/ June 6th, 2023 Cagliari, Italy Workshop co-located with IS-EUD 2023 OVERVIEW In the last decade, the spreading of low-cost technologies integrating sensors and actuators has favored the development of the so-called smart objects. This trend has been further fostered by the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects the physical world with Internet via ubiquitous sensors and actuators. The opportunities offered by the IoT are amplified by the use of new approaches that, based on novel interaction paradigms, involve directly non-technical users in configuring the joint behavior of their smart objects, among them and with online services. Existing solutions to define the behavior of such “IoT ecosystems” range from systems that leave the users complete control for establishing the joint behavior of smart objects, to solutions that automatically define smart objects behavior exploiting intelligent techniques. In this continuum, different technologies, frameworks, and approaches present different levels of user control and automation. In this perspective it is also important to consider the emerging role played by social and humanoid robots, which are integrated sets of sensors and actuators with human-like behaviours. DATES May 7th: Paper submission deadline (Extended) May 9th: Paper acceptance notice (Extended) May 29th: Camera-ready submission (Extended) June 6th: Workshop day SUGGESTED TOPICS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS This workshop aims to serve as a venue for discussing ongoing research and sharing ideas for researchers and practitioners working on solutions to personalize the behavior of IoT ecosystems. We aim to encourage participation in order to have stimulating discussion from various perspectives. Topics include, but are not limited, to: - End-User Development (EUD) for IoT; - Interaction Paradigms for IoT; - Usability of IoT Systems; - Interface Design for IoT; - Intelligent Interface for IoT Systems; - Accessibility for IoT Systems; - Virtual and Augmented Reality for EUD in IoT settings; - Conversational User Interfaces for EUD; - Usable Privacy and Security in IoT systems; - Personalisation and Recommendations for IoT; - IoT for Cultural Heritage; - Ubiquitous computing and mobile human-computer interaction; - Human-centered artificial intelligence in IoT contexts; - Explainable AI solutions for EUD; - User centered design; - Personalization for Humanoid Robots; - Integrated and Visual Development Environments for IoT; - Interaction Paradigms for IoT; - Industry case studies. PARTICIPATION This will be a one-day workshop, oriented towards discussions, hands-on sessions, and presentations. We invite submissions of two types: short papers (3-4 pages) and position papers (1-2 pages). Participants are asked to submit their paper describing their recent or future work in one of the areas indicated in the topics of interest. All submissions must be in the 1-column CEURART Template (https://ceurws.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/ceurws-publishes-ceurart-paper-styl…). Papers should be submitted in PDF to Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=empathy2023). All papers will be reviewed by the organizers and by the program committee based on relevance and significance in order to provide constructive comments to the submitters. Reviewing will be single blind (i.e. author names and affiliations should be listed). If accepted, at least one of the authors must register and attend the workshop. Final versions of the accepted papers will be submitted for publication in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings, which is indexed by Scopus.

The pandemic situation boosted the growth of education in the online context: online learning is becoming an essential part of the educational landscape. Learning Analytics has always been a measurement of data about learners and their contexts for understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. It is a combination of educational research, assessment sciences, statistics, visualization, data sciences, artificial intelligence, and socio-technical system thinking for human-centered design. Educational concepts and practices can be enhanced, and put on trial, by means of theories and techniques of Learning Analytics. Learning Analytics can support educational practices to reach better results, in any learning context, from traditional learning, in less technological areas, to personalized and adaptive e-learning, extending its usefulness to social-wide learning-on-demand applications. In order to perform and develop Learning Analytics, current data science and intelligent systems should be introduced in addition to the conventional instruction/learning systems, theories, and practices. At this stage of its evolution, Learning Analytics requires transparency and an “easy to grasp” feeling, such as the visualization process of the educational data can produce. The interaction between Learning Analytics and Information Visualization may produce a new concept of educational innovation. The Learning Analytics Symposium within the Information Visualization Conference LA@iV2023 aims at bringing together researchers from a number of disciplines (e.g., Education, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in particular, Management, Psychology, Economics, CyberSecurity, and Data Governance), practitioners, students, policymakers and companies to share and discuss the latest research insights related to Learning Analytics and its interaction with Information Visualization. Therefore, we welcome submissions from both research and practice, encompassing different theoretical, methodological, empirical, and technical contributions to the Learning Analytics field. Academics and practitioners, who are interested in such topics should consider submitting their research work and attending this event. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: Learning Analytics and AI AI for Education [Learning, Teaching, Intelligent Assessment and Feedback] AI-supported educational resources AI virtual personal assistants Learning & Teaching tracking Temporal Analysis of Learning Data Tools for quality assurance and quality improvement Tools for boosting retention rate Tools for adaptive learning Tools to improve teaching quality Emotional and expression for cognitive condition learning Learning activity and eye movements Learning activity and behavioural / bio signals Learning Analytics for Education Data Science for Education: open data, big data Machine and Deep Learning for Education Educational Data Mining Platforms and Tools for Educational Data Analytics for Teaching and learning methodologies supporting departments and schools for education Learning strategies Self-regulated learning Instructional designs Peer support & assessment Collaborative learning Team-based learning Generic skills / Key competence Literacy development/assessment Cultural difference Evaluation theories and techniques Test theory Item Response Theory Learning activities Performance assessment Essay document text analysis Motivation assessment Self Efficacy Conceptual mapping Portfolio Educational indicators Game-Based Learning / Gamification Technical infrastructures and platforms for Learning Analytics E-Learning M-Learning Platforms for MOOCs management Personalised and Adaptive Learning systems Learning analytics warehouse Data Science platforms for Learning Analytics Issues in Data-Driven Educational Theories and models Automate assessment Automate Essay / Report assessment Prediction of learning performance and engagement Educational Database / Datashare Ethics and privacy in learning analytics --- Symposium Steering Committee Tania Di Mascio, University of L’Aquila, Italy tania.dimascio((a))univaq.it Minoru Nakayama, Tokyo Inst. of Technology, Japan nakayama((a))ict.e.titech.ac.jp Filippo Sciarrone, Universitas Mercatorum, Italy filippo.sciarrone((a))unimercatorum.it Marco Temperini, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy marte((a))diag.uniroma1.it

CfP - VL/HCC 2023 - abstracts due this week, April 21 - IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing

by Rebecca Krosnick

VL/HCC 2023: IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2023 **Call for Research Papers** IMPORTANT DATES - Abstracts only: April 21, 2023 - Submission deadline: April 28, 2023 - Rebuttal phase: June 5 - 9, 2023 - Notification: June 23, 2023 - Camera-ready: July 14, 2023 The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing is the premier international forum for research on this topic. Established in 1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory, application, and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling, and communicating, which are easier to learn, use, and understand by people. The 2023 symposium is scheduled to take place October 2-6 in Washington, DC, USA. VL/HCC 2023 is 100% Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (TCMC). SCOPE AND TOPICS We solicit original, unpublished research papers on computing technologies for modeling, programming, communicating, and reasoning, which are easier to learn, use or understand by humans than the current state-of-the-art. Papers should focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate those technologies and languages. This includes technologies intended for general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public) or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people working in business administration, production environments, healthcare, urban design or scientific domains). Empirical papers that validate current proposed solutions with rigorous scientific means (i.e., empirical studies, controlled experiments, rigorous case studies, etc.) are also welcome. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Visual languages: Novel visual languages, Design, evaluation, and theory of visual languages and applications, Development of systems for manipulating and interacting with diagrammatic representations - Human aspects and psychology of software development and language design, such as supporting inclusion and diversity in programming - End-user development: End-user development, adaptation and programming, Creation and evaluation of technologies and infrastructures for end-user development - Crowdsourcing design and development work - Representations: Novel representations and user interfaces for expressing computation, Software, algorithm and data visualization - Modeling: Model-driven development, Domain-specific languages, including modeling languages, Visual modeling of human behavior and socio-technical systems - Thinking more deeply about code: Computational thinking and Computer Science education, Debugging and program understanding, Explainable ML/AI If you are not sure if your paper is a good fit for VL/HCC, feel free to email the PC Co-chairs (see “Contact” below). We welcome those new to the VL/HCC community to submit! SPECIAL EMPHASIS FOR 2023: Low-Code / No-Code Development This year’s special topic is “Low-Code / No-Code Development”. This development paradigm enables the creation and deployment of fully functional applications using visual abstractions and interfaces and requiring little or no procedural code. This way, users are empowered to create software applications for constrained domains, even if they lack a programming background. This year, we especially welcome papers at VL/HCC that design, build, or evaluate any aspects of low-code and no-code solutions. PAPER SUBMISSIONS We invite two kinds of papers: - full-length research papers, up to 8 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements - short research papers, up to 4 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements Papers must be submitted using the IEEE two-column conference paper format. Be sure to use the current IEEE conference paper format (which was updated in 2019), and to select the “US letter” template: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2023). To facilitate the assigning of papers to reviewers, we require paper abstracts to be submitted via EasyChair at least 1 week prior to the paper submission deadline (see Important Dates below). The abstract must be kept up to date such that it matches exactly the abstract in the submitted paper. The abstract must be no longer than 250 words. All accepted papers, whether full or short, should be complete, self-contained, archival contributions. Contributions from full papers are more extensive than those from short papers. Note that some full paper submissions may be accepted as short papers if reviewers deem contributions to be comparable in size to a short paper. Work-in-progress, which has not yet yielded an archival contribution, should be submitted to the Posters/Showpieces category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee in a double-blind review process. Authors will then receive the reviews for their submissions and will be able to answer them in a rebuttal phase. Only after this step the PC will make a final decision about the acceptance of the submissions. Submissions and reviews for the technical program are managed with EasyChair. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for VL/HCC 2023 and present the paper at the conference. There will be a virtual presentation option in case of travel restrictions. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference. The proceedings of IEEE VL/HCC are published in digital form by the IEEE Computer Science Society and archived in the IEEE Digital Library with an official ISBN number. Accepted papers will be available to conference attendees via the IEEE Open Preview program in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/). DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING We follow a double-blind reviewing process. Both authors and reviewers are expected to make every effort to honor the double-blind reviewing process. In case of questions, please contact the Program Chairs. Authors should ensure that the submission can be evaluated without it being obvious who wrote the paper. This means leaving author names off the paper and using terms like “previous research” rather than “our previous research” when describing background. However, do not hide previous work – papers must still reference all relevant research using full (non-anonymized) citations, including the author’s own prior work, so that reviewers can evaluate novelty. Please reference your own prior work in the third-person just like you would do for any other related work (e.g., avoid “As described in our previous work [10], … ” and instead write something like “As described by [10], …”). It is also important that authors specify all conflicts of interest with potential reviewers during the submission phase. Reviewers should not undertake any investigation that might lead to the revealing of authors’ identity. If identities are inadvertently revealed, please contact the Program Chairs. The Program Chairs will check all submissions for obvious signs of lack of anonymity and may ask authors to make changes and resubmit the paper within three days of the submission deadline. Only changes to resolve anonymity issues will be permitted. EVALUATION AND JUSTIFICATION Papers are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence. For example, a paper that claims to improve programmer productivity is expected to demonstrate improved productivity; a paper that claims to be easier to use should demonstrate increased ease of use. However, not all claims necessarily need to be supported with empirical evidence or studies with people. For example, a paper that claims to make something feasible that was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim through the existence of a functioning prototype. Moreover, there are many alternatives to empirical evidence that may be appropriate for justifying claims, including analytical methods, formal arguments or case studies. Given this criterion, we encourage potential authors to think carefully about what claims their submission makes and what evidence would adequately support these claims. In addition, we expect short papers to have less comprehensive evaluation than long papers.
