MIXR - 1st International Workshop on Multi-party Interaction in eXtended Reality

by Maurizio Mancini

[apologies for cross-posting] MIXR - 1st International Workshop on Multi-party Interaction in eXtended Reality Hosted @CHItaly 2021 (14th Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter) July 12th, 2021 (morning) Website: https://mixr-chitaly2021.github.io XR, or eXtended Reality, is an umbrella term that encompasses the areas of AR, VR, and MR, with strong emphasis on immersiveness, multimodality and presence. XR is a multidisciplinary field incorporating subjects such as computer science, psychology, cognitive science, and digital humanities. Within XR, collaborative environments is one of the fastest growing areas, as can be seen by the number of social VR worlds available today. Most of these environments focus on the graphical aspects of the environment, not fully taking advantage of multimodal and multi-party design. Interaction in these environments is largely limited to text chats and, in the case of a few systems, voice interaction. Deeper and more meaningful engagement and interaction in XR can be achieved by leveraging the principles of Social Signal Processing (SSP) and Affective Computing (AC). Due to the simultaneous one-to-one and one-to-many interactions that establish and evolve over time, Multi-party (group) Interaction in XR is a complex process, whose analysis is still an open challenge in SSP/AC. Nowadays, the need for exploring Multi-party Interaction in XR settings is expanding, as people are increasingly meeting remotely through teleconferencing tools for practical reasons (e.g., working and living abroad) or, for example, as a result of the social restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. MIXR seeks to progress research on Multi-party Interaction in XR by pursuing the following objectives: - to investigate how social science theories and models of Multi-party Interaction can be applied in or possibly adapted to XR scenarios - to develop techniques for collecting multimodal data of Multi-party Interaction - to promote interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration between scholars in Computer Science and Social Sciences on XR, Social Signal Processing, Affective Computing, Multi-party Interaction Topics We invite participants to submit short (6 pages) papers that focus on Multi-party Interaction in XR. Topics of interest include Multi-Party (team/group) Interaction in XR, covering the following research areas: - Emotion recognition and expression - Movement expressivity - Team emergent states and dynamics - Joint activity/collaboration - Immersive CSCW - Education and creativity - Serious games - Multimodality - Interaction fidelity - Theoretical models - System/interface ergonomics - Novel technologies Submissions/Proceedings Short papers (6 pages) can be submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=mixr21# Authors should use the 1 column CEUR-ART style: - The style is available from: Vol-XXX - An Overleaf page is available at: https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt - The offline version with the style files is at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip Accepted papers will be published on the free open-access repository CEUR-WS, which is indexed on SCOPUS. Important dates April 23, 2021 - Submission deadline May 14, 2021 - Notifications to contributors May 24, 2021 - Camera-ready/final version deadline July 12, 2021 - Workshops (All deadlines are meant till 11.59 pm CET) Organizing Committee Maurizio Mancini (University of Rome “Sapienza”, Italy) Giovanna Varni (LTCI, Télécom Paris, Institut polytechnique de Paris, France) David Murphy (University College Cork (UCC), Ireland) Fabio Pellacini (University of Rome “Sapienza”, Italy) Laura Maye (University College Cork (UCC), Ireland) Patrick O’Toole (University College Cork (UCC), Ireland)

Hybrid International CHItaly 2021: 1st Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers / 11–13 July 2021 / Bolzano, Italy

by chitaly2021

================================================ CHItaly 2021 - Frontiers of HCI CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM PAPERS The International Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter ================================================ 11–13 July 2021 https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/ Location: From Bozen-Bolzano through the Internet to the World In cooperation with SIGCHI Italy and ACM-SIGCHI ================================================ THEME ================================================ The theme for the 14th Edition of the Biannual Conference (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it) of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (http://sigchitaly.eu/en/general-info/) was defined in summer 2019 as “Frontiers of HCI”. At that time, we were thinking about disciplinary and national boundaries. Little did we know of the many frontiers this hybrid conference would have to overcome to create a safe space for HCI related discussions. To overcome this challenge, CHItaly combines physical and digital events while providing synchronous and asynchronous spaces for dialogue. So far, CHItaly has physically hosted HCI scholars working in the Mediterranean and other European countries. The aim of CHItaly 2021 is to connect research and geographical areas, so as to explore frontiers and cross-fertilise HCI research in practice. From this perspective, a hybrid conference can become an incredible experimentation space which you are all invited to shape. To reach its aims, the conference 1. solicits contributions from diverse research communities relevant to HCI, such as Science and Technology Studies, Technology Enhanced Learning, Interaction Design and Digital Fabrication, Design and the Arts, besides traditional fields such as computer science, engineering and psychology 2. opens its physical and digital doors to industry, civic societies and citizens. Join CHItaly either virtually or physically to expand the frontiers of HCI. ================================================ DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM: SPECIFICATIONS ================================================ The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide a setting in which PhD students can present and receive feedback on their work. Students at different stages of their research will be able to articulate and discuss their problem statement, goals, methods, and results. The Doctoral Consortium also aims to provide students with useful guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and the other student attendees. Finally, the Doctoral Consortium seeks to motivate students in the development of their scientific curiosity and facilitate their networking within the research community. The topics of the Doctoral Consortium are the same as CHItaly’s. The main scope of the consortium is to enable PhD students to interact with their peers, as well as with more senior researchers, on a wide range of Human-Computer Interaction related topics, and related to the conference theme. The consortium is open to PhD students worldwide at any stage in their research. Students at an initial stage should be able to challenge their ideas and current research directions. Students at a more mature stage should be able to present their thesis and get advice on ways to further improve and better communicate their contributions and findings. Participation is particularly encouraged from PhD students who are close to proposing a thesis. ================================================ PAPER FORMAT AND PROCEEDINGS ================================================ Submitted papers must be in English and single-author, but the name of the supervisor could be mentioned within the paper. Papers must be 5-page long using the 1-column CEUR template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt. Papers must: identify a significant problem in the field of research outline the current status of the problem domain and related solutions describe the contribution of the student by presenting the proposed approach and the results achieved so far Accepted papers will be collected and published in CEUR-WS proceedings. Each author of an accepted paper will present orally his/her contribution the first day of the conference. ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES ================================================ Submissions: April 23th Notifications to contributors: May 14th Camera-ready/final version deadline: May 24th Doctoral consortium: July 12th ================================================ SUBMISSIONS: HOW TO ================================================ DC papers must be sent via mail to dc.chitaly2021(a)unibz.it with 'DC submission' in the e-mail subject. ================================================ FURTHER INFORMATION ================================================ If you have any question, please write an email to the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs: Daniela Fogli, University of Brescia, Italy, email: daniela.fogli(a)unibs.it Fabio Paternò, CNR-ISTI, Italy, email: fabio.paterno(a)isti.cnr.it ================================================ CHITALY 2021 TRACKS ================================================= This year, CHItaly 2021 has several tracks, besides the track for doctoral consortium papers: long and short research papers, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html workshops, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/workshops.html interactive experience, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html

1st Call for papers PATCH@UMAP 2021

by Noemi Mauro

*** Apologies for cross postings *** PATCH Workshop @UMAP 2021 - CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- The 12th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH 2021) co-located with ACM UMAP 2021 - Online and in Utrecht, The Netherlands. 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 - Conversational agents for CH - 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: March 26, 2021: Submission deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time) April 19, 2021: Notification deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time) May 7, 2021: Camera-Ready deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time) Workshop organizers Liliana Ardissono, University of Torino, Italy, liliana.ardissono(a)unito.it Cristina Gena, University of Torino, Italy, cristina.gena(a)unito.it Tsvi (Tsvika) Kuflik, The University of Haifa, Israel, tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il Noemi Mauro, University of Torino, Italy, noemi.mauro(a)unito.it George E.

** Apologies for cross-posting/please share ** ================================================ CHItaly 2021 - Frontiers of HCI The Hybrid International Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html In cooperation with SIGCHI Italy and ACM-SIGCHI LAST CALL FOR LONG AND SHORT RESEARCH PAPERS Deadline (strict): Feb 28th 2021 ================================================ THEME ================================================ The theme for the 14th Edition of the Biannual Conference (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it<https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/>) of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (http://sigchitaly.eu/en/general-info/) was defined in summer 2019 as “Frontiers of HCI”. At that time, we were thinking about disciplinary and national boundaries. Little did we know of the many frontiers this hybrid conference would have to overcome to create a safe space for HCI related discussions. To overcome this challenge, CHItaly combines physical and digital events while providing synchronous and asynchronous spaces for dialogue.

Join CHItaly either virtually or physically to expand the frontiers of HCI. ================================================ RESEARCH PAPERS AND TOPICS ================================================ The research track of the conference will be hybrid, blending digital and physical frontiers. Contributions to the research track are in the form of either long or short research papers. Long papers present original and substantially new research in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and at the frontiers of HCI. They clearly indicate innovative aspects. Research procedures or technical aspects are presented in sufficient detail to ensure scrutiny and reproducibility. Results are communicated according to scholarly standards, and implications of the contributions/findings for HCI have to be explicitly discussed. Short papers present original and provocative research or novel applications in HCI. Merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance for HCI rather than maturity, extensive technical validation, or research studies. Examples of contributions might include but are not limited to: early-stage frontier research, techniques, technologies or prototypes with or without an in-depth evaluation; a self-contained innovative qualitative study for HCI; the design of novel systems, services or demos for hands-on interaction. Both types of papers are archival publications of original research in the field of HCI, and related to the conference theme and topics. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following ones, divided into traditional topics for HCI and frontier topics, at the intersection with other fields, for the advancement of HCI. Traditional HCI: Theories, Methods, Studies • HCI theories • HCI design and evaluation methods • HCI studies • Interaction processes and models • Collaborative and social computing and HCI • Affective computing and HCI • Accessibility and inclusive HCI Arts, Humanities, Education, Society and HCI • Design & arts and HCI • Humanities and HCI • Cultures, culture production and HCI • Education and HCI • Technology enhanced learning and HCI • Learning analytics and HCI • Values, ethics and HCI • Society and HCI Physical, Digital or Hybrid HCI • Game and gamification-based solutions and HCI • Augmented, virtual or mixed reality and HCI • Smart things, smart ambients or smart cities and HCI • Internet of Things (IoT) and HCI • Physical computing, making or digital fabrication and HCI • Cyber-physical systems, embedded systems and HCI • Tangible design, industrial design or product design and HCI • Mobile, wearable and ubiquitous computing and HCI • Human-robot interaction and HCI • Beyond cobots: assistive or proactive robots and HCI Artificial Intelligence and HCI • AI theories, technologies or tools and HCI • Human-in-the-loop machine/deep learning and HCI • Agent-based systems or multi-agent systems and HCI • Formal methods and HCI • Data analysis, modelling or visualisation and HCI • Business processes and HCI including process analysis, modelling and visualisation • Natural language processing and HCI • Recommendation, personalisation or adaptation and HCI ================================================ FORMAT AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ================================================ For specifications please refer to https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html ================================================ PROCEEDINGS AND JOURNALS ================================================ Accepted manuscripts will be invited for inclusion in the electronic ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS), published in the ACM Digital Library, which is Scopus indexed. Therefore, authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit a camera-ready version in a suitable ACM format for proceedings before the conference. Inclusion in the proceedings is conditional upon submission of the revised manuscript and registration of at least one presenter within the recommended deadlines. After the conference, authors of accepted top-quality papers will be invited, through an open call, to submit extended versions of their papers to special issues in highly ranked international journals. ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES ================================================ February 28, 2021 - Submission deadline April 16, 2021 - Notification to authors May 3, 2021 - Camera ready version July 11th-13th, 2021 - Conference (Deadlines are meant till 11.59 pm CET) ================================================ LONG PAPER CHAIRS ================================================ Rosella Gennari, Informatica, Libera Università di Bolzano, Italy (gennari(a)inf.unibz.it<mailto:gennari@inf.unibz.it>) Maria de Marsico, Università La Sapienza di Roma, Italy (demarsico(a)di.uniroma1.it<mailto:demarsico@di.uniroma1.it>) ================================================ SHORT PAPER CHAIRS ================================================ Alessandra Melonio, Informatica, Libera Università di Bolzano, Italy (alessandra.melonio(a)unibz.it<mailto:alessandra.melonio@unibz.it>) Cristina Gena, Università di Torino, Italy (cristina.gena(a)unito.it<mailto:cristina.gena@unito.it>) ================================================ CHITALY 2021 TRACKS ================================================= This year, CHItaly 2021 has several tracks, besides the track for long and short research papers: • workshops, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/workshops.html • interactive experience, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html • doctoral consortium, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/dc.html • industry event, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/industry_event.html

ACM UMAP 2021: Second Call for Doctoral Consortium

by Oana Inel

— Apologies for cross-posting — ACM UMAP 2021: Second Call for Doctoral Consortium Important Dates • Paper Submission: March 9, 2021 • Notification to authors: March 31, 2021 • Camera ready submission: April 11, 2021 • ACM UMAP 2021 conference: June 21-25, 2021 • ACM UMAP 2021 DC Session: TBD, 2021 Note: The submissions times are 11:59 PM AoE time (Anywhere on Earth) ACM UMAP 2021 is the premier international conference on systems that adapt to users and user models for adaptation. It includes a Doctoral Consortium (DC) Session. The DC provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of distinguished researchers from the field. Doctoral students are invited to apply to present their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. Students are expected to document in a brief submission their doctoral research (see below described submission information for further details), which will be evaluated by the consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a Doctoral Consortium Session as part of the conference. Promising, but less well- developed applications will be selected for presentation at a poster session. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student’s work and will discuss the doctoral research with the student and the audience at the consortium. How to Submit to the Doctoral Consortium To apply for the ACM UMAP 2021 doctoral consortium, students should submit a paper presenting their doctoral research organized under the following headings: • Research Problem. The problem being addressed and a motivation outlining the relevance of the problem; • Related Work. Work already performed by other researchers related to this problem. This should situate your work, showing your knowledge of the relevant previous work and how your work will make a new contribution; • Research Questions and Proposed Approach. The main questions the PhD project aims to answer, contributions it aims to achieve, and the thesis methodology; • Progress to Date and Future Work. The progress made to date (including a clear description of the approach, methodology and preliminary results) as well as the plan for further research. Topics include (but are not limited to) the ACM UMAP 2021 key areas. Each DC submission should cover: identification of related (state of the art) work, indication of the potential innovation, application or advancement of the state-of-the-art that the work intends to achieve. In addition, as appropriate for the PhD project, each submission may cover: indication of data to be used for experimentation, indication of implementation approach, indication of evaluation criteria and experimental design. Each DC paper submission should be accompanied by a cover page that states: the paper title, name of the PhD candidate, the name of his/her supervisor(s) and University, a paragraph describing the stage they are in the PhD programme, together with a brief description of their background. This will enable the committee to adapt its assistance to each student. The DC will be most useful to students who have completed enough of their thesis work to have a solid foundation with a clear topic and literature review but the student should be early enough in their studies to still benefit from guidance and advice. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021 by selecting the “UMAP 2021 Doctoral Consortium” track. Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized before submission. Submissions should be a single pdf document consisting of 1 cover page and the paper (up to 7 pages long + references) in the new ACM single-column style. 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 . 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… NB: Accepted papers will require a further revision in order 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. ACM UMAP Proceedings The accepted ACM UMAP 2021 Doctoral Consortium papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings, which will be published by ACM and that will be available via the ACM Digital Library. The main author (doctoral student) must register for the conference and present the paper for the paper to be included in the proceedings. Financial Support ACM UMAP has a history of supporting students to attend. Authors of submissions to the DC will have higher priority for UMAP grant applications.
