*Theme*
The context of use plays an important role in Human-Centered Software
Engineering (HCSE) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. Typically,
user, environment, and platform are considered to make up the core aspects of
the context of use. Changing the context of use, for example due to unplanned
circumstances like the current pandemic situation, has significant impact on how
we use systems, and how we adapt and adopt them even if the systems were not
designed for such usages. In HCSE research we have to account for this change,
making interactive system development context-aware or design and develop in a
way that systems can adapt for novel forms of usage. Recently, we observe
developments that strongly change contexts of use. For example, in the area of
industrial automation (Industry 4.0) work environments change, new kinds of user
assistance evolve, and workers are going to be supported by innovative types of
devices and digital assistance tools to accomplish their working tasks. Typical
examples are augmented, virtual, and mixed reality applications in training or
support situations. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed where and the
way how we work, particularly in collaboration with others to keep distance and
increase personal safety. In contrast, the trend towards increasingly autonomous
systems and systems that use and provide artificial intelligence gives rise to
new kinds of interaction, particularly, human-machine interaction (HMI), in
areas such as autonomous driving or human-robot collaboration in different
domains such as industrial production, logistics, or health. These trends should
be accounted for in the way we design and build such interactive systems,
possibly coming to evolutionary or even revolutionary solutions. For example,
expected or unforeseen changes of usage scenarios and their context of use may
be accounted for by flexible and more resilient system solutions and be
reflected in the development practices and technical frameworks. Specific kinds
of interaction such as HMI, but also social and socio-technical interaction may
demand for more prominent and explicit consideration. Quality aspects such as
ubiquity, security, and safety may be seen in a different light. Changing
contexts of use may even have an impact on the way we think about user
motivation and user experience, away from short-term notions like emotions
towards long-term traits like users’ values. We want to specifically account for
these developments in addition to the general concerns of HCSE. Discussions and
interactive working sessions will particularly deal with these concerns.
*Objective*
In this workshop, we aim to broaden the traditional scope of the workshop series
of IFIP Working Group 13.2. We focus on the study of context of use, its
long-term evolutionary trends as well as its short-term design and management in
a user-centered design process, from a social and user-centered methodological
viewpoint as well as from a technical viewpoint. Our aim is to cover a large set
of user interface perspectives, aspects, and properties and fuel new ideas and
approaches for research and practice. The long-term perspective of this workshop
is to foster the development of theories, methods, tools and approaches for
dealing with the changing context of use and its impact on HCI and collaboration
that should be taken into account when developing interactive and
socio-technical systems.
This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized at INTERACT
2017 in Mumbai, India
<http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>and INTERACT 2019
in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifipwg132workshopinteract19/>.
*Target Audience and Expected Outcomes*
This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human-computer
interaction froma user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this
workshop focus on user interface properties while designing and building
interactive systems and study associated methods, processes and approaches. 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 the role of the context of use in HCI and its impact on
thesystem design and use. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface
design are welcome. However, we are especially interested in work that deals
with current trends that change the way how humans use, interact and collaborate
with technical components in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in
methods, theories and tools for managing context of use at design and run-time.
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.
*Workshop Format*
This full-day workshop is organized 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 studies 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 workshop in a hybrid setting, allowing
attendees to participate both physically and remotely in the workshop. 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 2021 organizers.

CoPDA 2021 - 6th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation
in the Digital Age: AI for Humans or Humans for AI?
https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2021/
July 6, 2021 - Limassol, Cyprus
In conjunction with IS-EUD 2021 (http://cyprusconferences.org/iseud2021/)
--------
Overview
--------
This one-day workshop edition addresses the theme "AI for Humans or
Humans for AI?".
The workshop will explore the relationship between AI, aimed at
replacing human beings, and Intelligence Augmentation (IA), focused on
empowering human beings in their daily life and work. Balancing
between these two perspectives means changing the research paradigm
from traditional Human-Centered Design (HCD), to designing the
collaboration between humans and computers. This will foster
creativity, meaningful work, intersubjectivity, and learning, and
eventually improve the quality of life of individuals. However, a
variety of issues and ethical problems need to be addressed in this
new age – e.g., privacy intrusions, massive unemployment, knowledge
and competence loss, lack of control, autonomous weapons, etc. The
workshop organizers encourage researchers to submit position papers
that will consider these aspects.
In summary, the workshop will aim at discussing the importance of HCD
in the AI Age by considering several topics including (but not limited
to):
- Cooperative problem-solving systems
- Collaborative learning
- Meaningful human control
- Distributed cognition
- Tacit knowledge and meaning making
- Multi-dimensional aspects of learning
- Big data and privacy
- Learning analytics
- Human-machine teaming systems
- Explainability and accountability of AI-based decisions
- Evaluation of AI-based systems
- End-User Development for AI-based systems
-------------------
Topics and Keywords
-------------------
The workshop will explore specific questions around the relationship
between AI and HCD, such as:
- Can we identify success stories and inspirational prototypes of
systems where humans and AI components have created unique
opportunities that neither one could achieve on their own?
- Can we identify failures of AI systems that we can learn from?
- How can we orient future development when considering the
differences and complementarity between adaptive systems (focus on AI)
and adaptable systems (focus on HCD)?
- Do the concepts of co-evolution and appropriation of human-machine
team-ing/cooperative systems change in the AI age?
- How can End-User Development methods and techniques be used in
AI-based systems to actively involve all stakeholders in design and
development process?
- How do we measure the overall benefits of AI decision-making support?
- What are examples of collective human-centered design environments?
- Do insights derived from AI systems (e.g., from Big Data analysis
and Learning Analytics) constitute unique contributions that humans
are not able to contribute on their own?
- Will the current understanding of advanced technologies help us
better under-stand who we are as human beings and what are our unique
abilities?
Keywords:
Cultures of Participation (CoP); Artificial Intelligence (AI);
Intelligence Augmentation (IA); Human-Centered Design (HCD); Design
Trade-Offs; Quality of Life (QoL).

======= DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 31th ==========
The EICS’2021 Doctoral Consortium (DC) is intended to bring together PhD
students working on foundations, techniques, tools and studies in the
Human-Computer Interaction Engineering field. DC provides an opportunity
for doctoral students to present their research goals as well as
intermediate results, and to discuss them with leading experts in the field
as well as with peers.
Students can be in intermediate or advanced stages of their research, but
should not have completed their work yet, and should thus still be able to
take into account feedback from the DC.
The goals of the Doctoral Consortium are to provide PhD students with the
opportunity to:
- Receive constructive feedback and advice on their research,
- Meet experts with different backgrounds working on topics related to
the Human Computer Interaction Engineering field,
- Interact with other PhD students and exchange ideas and suggestions
among participants,
- Discuss concerns about research, supervision, job market, and other
career-related issues,
- Present their work as a poster at the EICS’2021 conference.
A submission consists of a short paper (max 4 pages standard ACM SIGCHI
format (2020), references excluded), a free-form CV of the PhD candidate
and a draft poster. Submissions must be submitted using the PCS system by
the deadline (see the firm deadline below). Papers suitable for (virtual or
presence) demonstration at the conference should also submit a
supplementary video of the system in action. The submission should not be
anonymous and must:
- identify a significant problem in the field of research,
- clearly formulate the research question,
- outline the current status of the problem domain and related solutions
(main related works)
- present clearly (preliminary) ideas, the proposed approach and the
results achieved so far,
- describe the research methodology that is applied or planned,
- make explicit the current status of the doctoral work (e.g. when
research started, how long to reach the end, papers already accepted)
- outline the expected contributions to the problem domain and highlight
their uniqueness.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the Doctoral
Consortium Program Committee. The main evaluation criteria are: relevance,
originality, significance, technical soundness, accuracy, and clarity.
Submissions must be made through the PCS system by the deadline (see the
Important dates section below).
In addition to the DC chairs, additional leading experts will be invited to
the DC to discuss the participants' research
DC participants will have their registration fee waived. The SIGCHI Student
Travel Grant (SSTG) program also be of interest to help covering traveling
expenses. For more information about this grant and for applying online,

Hybrid Conference
11th International Conference in Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/>
________________________________
Salamanca (Spain) | 6th-8th October, 2021<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/>
[cid:838C96DE-19CE-4F70-A539-FDF4701B03D8]<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/>
SCOPE
Education is the cornerstone of any society and it serves as one of the foundations for many of its social values and characteristics. State-of-the-art and novel methodologies and technologies allow researchers, designers, and domain experts to pursue Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) solutions targeting not only cognitive processes but also motivational, personality or emotional factors. Nowadays, we can identify two main legs, providing necessary and complementary strengths to a TEL oriented design process: appropriate technologies should be applied, and appropriate methods should guide such application. Technologies in TEL are capable of delivering smart, personalized, tailored, and motivating learning solutions. Methods are coming from different fields, such as education psychology, medicine, computer science, and from diverse communities, where collaboration and co-working is used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, Learning Analytics can help manage available (big) data and allow to augment learning opportunities for learners and educators alike, for instance by supporting self-regulated learning or adaptation of the learning material.
As to these topics, the annual appointment of MIS4TEL established itself as a consolidated fertile forum where scholars and professionals from the international community, with a broad range of expertise in the TEL field, share results and compare experiences. The 10th edition of the conference calls for novel research in TEL and expands the topics of the previous editions, highlighting the role of the most recent methods and technological opportunities (ranging from Artificial Intelligence and agent-based systems to Robotics, Virtual Reality, Internet of Things and wearable solutions, among others) and looking for papers discussing how they can be employed to create novel approaches to TEL, innovative TEL solutions and valuable TEL experiences. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL (e.g., engineering, computer science, education, medicine) from this multidisciplinary field.
MIS4TEL 2021 will be held in Salamanca (Spain) on October 6th-8th, 2021, in parallel with the PAAMS'21 International Conference<http://www.paams.net/>.

• Conference: June 21-25, 2021, online from Utrecht, the Netherlands
Note: The submissions times are 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth)
ACM UMAP 2021 – User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users, to groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information.
ACM UMAP 2021 invites Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Results (LBR) papers of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes). You are encouraged to submit your Demo or LBR by March 26th, 2021.
Submission formats
For more details, see below!
Demonstrations
• Max. 3 pages + max. 1 additional page for references
• (Required) unpublished page describing how they would present the demo virtually and/or in person
• (Optional) video or external material demonstrating the system
• Publication in ACM UMAP 2021 Adjunct Proceedings
• Presentation as a virtual demo + poster at the conference
Late-Breaking Results
• Max. 7 pages + max. 2 additional pages for references
• (NEW: required) unpublished page with a list of questions the authors aim to get feedback on
• Publication in ACM UMAP 2021 Adjunct Proceedings
• Presentation as a virtual poster at the conference
Submission via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021
Demonstrations
Demonstrations 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 to get valuable feedback from the community. 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).
Descriptions of demonstrations should have a length of max. 3 pages + 1 page of references in the new ACM single-column style. On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2021. Given uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, this extra page should also describe if/how the demo can be presented in a virtual setting (e.g. with a video or a live link to the system).
Late-Breaking Results
Late-Breaking Results (LBR) 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 User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization. In addition, papers introducing recently started research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit a 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.
Late-Breaking Results papers have a length of up to 7 pages + 2 pages of references in the new ACM single-column style and will be presented to the conference as (in-person and virtual) posters. On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a list of questions that the authors aim to get feedback on during the poster session at UMAP 2021.
Submission and Review Process
Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized before submission.
Papers (demo and LBR) must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. The templates and instructions are available here: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow.
Authors should submit their papers as single-column. The templates are available here (we strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting):
• LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column):
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t…
• Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column): https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-master-…
• MS Word: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submissio…
Note: Accepted papers will require a further revision to meet the requirements and page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the papers will be provided after acceptance.
Submit your papers in PDF format via EasyChair for ACM UMAP 2021 Demos and Late-Breaking Results at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021 (choose “New Submission” and make sure to select “UMAP 2021 Demo and LBR”).
The review process will be single-blind, i.e. authors’ names should be included in the papers. 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.
Publication and Presentation
Accepted Demo and Late-Breaking Results papers will be published in the ACM UMAP 2021 Adjunct Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. All categories will be presented at the poster reception of the conference, 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.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.

INTERACT 2021
Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2021, Bari, Italy
https://interact2021.org
------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERACT 2021 is the 18th International Conference promoted by the IFIP
Technical Committee 13 on Human–Computer Interaction. INTERACT is held
every two years.
The theme of INTERACT 2021 is “Sense, Feel, Design”, highlighting new
challenges of interaction design. Technology is today more and more
widespread, pervasive and blended in the world we live in. On one side,
devices that sense humans' activities have the potential to provide an
enriched interaction. On the other side, the user experience can be
further enhanced by exploiting multisensorial technologies. Not only the
traditional human senses of vision and hearing, but also senses of
touch, smell, and taste, as well as emotions are to be taken into
account when designing for future interactions. INTERACT 2021 is the
right venue to debate such new challenges. Another new topic of this
edition is Human-AI Interaction, focusing on the design of
human-centered intelligent systems.
Conference proceedings are published in Springer LNCS series and are
available in the Springer Digital Library.
We invite you to submit your original work to INTERACT 2021 in the
following tracks by *April 16th, 2021*:
- Short Papers
- Posters
- Interactive Demos
- Courses
- Doctoral Consortium
- Industrial Experiences
- Panels
All contributions are peer reviewed, juried or curated by the members of
the international program committee.
INTERACT 2021 will be held in Bari, a beautiful city on the Adriatic
coast of Southern Italy.
The hotel Villa Romanazzi Carducci will host the conference. With its
liberty-period villa immersed in a nice park characterized by a variety
of trees along various pathways, this hotel provides a great context for
welcoming the INTERACT participants.
All precautions to ensure participants’ health safety will be taken. The
evolution of the pandemic will be carefully monitored and those who
could not travel due to COVID-19 will be allowed to present and
participate online to the conference.

PATCH Workshop @ UMAP 2021 - FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
NEWS: Extended Deadline!
Due to several requests, papers are now due by* April 2, 2021.*
------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
The 12th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage
(PATCH 2021) co-located with ACM UMAP 2021 - Online
https://patch2021.di.unito.it/
Abstract and Topics
Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2021 will be
again the meeting point between state of the art cultural heritage (CH)
research and personalization research. For those using any kind of
technology, while focusing on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, 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 of
mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance
the CH visit experience. The expected result of the workshop is a
multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research
directions and hopefully, forge some research collaborations.
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
-
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
-
Gestural interfaces for Cultural Heritage 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
Motivation
Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a privileged area for
personalization research, as highlighted by the many H2020 calls on this
topic. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing to experience and
learn new things, usually without a clear idea of what to expect. CH sites
are typically rich in objects and information; much more than the visitor
can absorb during the limited time of a visit. As discussed by Falk (2009),
visitors to CH sites differ and their visit experience involves a
combination of the physical, the personal, and the socio-cultural context
and identity-related aspects. Hence, they may benefit from individualized
support that takes into account contextual and personal attributes.
However, personalization brings two main challenges:
-
Firstly, can we support CH exploration for first-time and anonymous
visitors, taking into account that many people access cultural sites only
once, or they interact with digital services anonymously?
-
Secondly, when it is possible to track users along time, can we provide
an engaging experience for the ‘digital’, ‘mobile’ and ‘traditional’ CH
visitors before, during and after a visit by exploiting information from
previous interactions on CH sites and elsewhere on the ubiquitous Web?
Further, an interesting problem to explore is whether this kind of support
can be a basis for maintaining a lifelong chain of personalized CH
experiences. This is true, not only in “traditional” CH sites, but also in
urban environments, which reflect the varied history of mankind and offer
places and objects representing shared values for the population, to be
preserved and valued.
Submissions
Regular papers: up to 10 pages excluding references;
Position paper/Demo papers: up to 4 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://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow.
All papers should be submitted in PDF format via the online submission
system by selecting the track "Workshop-PATCH":
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021.
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.
Important dates:
April 2, 2021: Submission deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time)
March 26, 2021: Submission deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time)
April 19, 2021: Notification deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time)
