by Eleonora Zedda

** *In conjunction with the 30th International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI 2025)* * Cagliari, Italy March 24-27, 2025 https://iui.acm.org/2025/ <https://iui.acm.org/2024/> Call for Proposals We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goal of workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference (“Where HCI meets AI”). Tutorials are designed to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent user interfaces, and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Note: We encourage you to contact the chairs with your ideas (workshops2025(a)iui.acm.org), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal. We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshop and tutorial formats and activities, including but not limited to: * "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper submission and review processes. * Interactive formats to explore a certain topic during the workshop (e.g., through breakout rooms); such workshops may have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the outcome of the interactive discussions. * "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter review process (e.g. based on abstracts only). * "Hands-on" workshopsaround a specific problem or topic that may wish to ask participants to submit a position statement. * "Project centric" workshopsthat may be closely related to the scope of an existing large-scale (e.g. NSF, EU, etc. funded) project. * "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics with individual or team participation. * Tutorials on a specific topic relevant to IUI; for example, methods and approaches in HCI and/or AI, specific techniques or algorithms to develop intelligent user interfaces, etc. We invite submissions of proposals for full-day and half-day workshops or tutorials. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop and tutorial chairs. Workshops with few submissions may be cancelled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise restructured. The organizers of accepted workshops and tutorials are responsible for producing a call for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop and tutorial organizers will maintain their own website with information about the workshop or tutorial and the ACM IUI 2025 website will refer to this website. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation, collection, and review process. Workshops’ and tutorials’ summary will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2025, and we will separately publish a joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through CEUR or similar). Proposal Format Workshop or tutorial proposals should be a maximum of four pages long (single-column format). Prepare your submission using the latest templates: Word Submission (https://authors.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submi…) Template, or the LaTeX (https://portalparts.acm.org/hippo/latex_templates/acmart-primary.zip) template. The proposals should be organized as follows: * Name and title: A one-word acronym and a full title. Please indicate “(Workshop)” or “(Tutorial)” after the title, as appropriate. * Description of workshop or tutorial topic: This description should discuss the relevance of the suggested topic to IUI and its interest for the IUI 2025 audience. Include a brief discussion of why and for which audience the workshop or tutorial is of particular interest. * Previous history: List of previous workshops or tutorials that were held on the topic including the conferences that hosted past workshops or tutorials and the number of participants. * Organizer(s): Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the organizer(s). Provide a brief description of the background of the organizer(s). Strong proposals normally include organizers who bring differing perspectives on the topic and are actively connected to the communities of potential participants. Please indicate the primary contact person and the organizers who plan to attend the workshop. Also please provide a list of other workshops or tutorials organized by workshop organizers in the past. * Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members of the (tentative) workshop program committee that will evaluate the workshop submissions. * Participants: A statement saying how many participants you expect and how you plan to invite participants for the workshop or tutorial. If possible, include the names of at least 10 people who have expressed interest to participate in the workshop or tutorial. * Workshop or Tutorial activities: A brief description of the format regarding the mix of events or activities, such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, demonstrations, teaching activities, hands-on practical exercises, general discussion. Please also list here any material you will make available to tutorial participants, e.g. slides, access to hardware/software, handouts, etc. * Planned outcomes of the workshop or tutorials: What are you hoping to achieve by the end of the workshop or tutorials? Please list here any planned publications or other outputs arising from workshops. * Length: Full-day or half-day.

*** Final Call for Paper Submission *** ACM 4th International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT''24) 4-6 September 2024, Bremen, Germany Special Track on Educating for a Sustainable Digital Future https://blogs.uni-bremen.de/goodit2024/ ( *** Submission Deadline: 17 June 2024 (FIRM) ***) SCOPE Exploring the development of our digital future requires a comprehensive examination of both individual and societal consequences. Placing excessive emphasis on individual gains, a common practice in individualistic societies for many years, has hindered the ability to grasp the complex dynamics and forward-thinking mindset essential for the sustainability of a contemporary society. The evolving landscape of technology and the ongoing digital advancements have paved the way for creative applications in the field of education, allowing us to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances. When shaping a new approach for Information Systems and Information Technology education, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of individuals as key stakeholders and integral members of the wider community, while also recognizing the pivotal role of collaboration. In this track, we are searching for papers employing innovative technology and approaches to educate the future generation towards world equality, collegiality, inclusion and a more cooperative learning for a sustainable digital future. Values which are emphasized in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which overall aim towards creating a more equitable, sustainable, and peaceful world. This track is particularly relevant to IS/IT educators and those creative IT practitioners who care about developing a sustainable digital future. TOPICS Potential topics for papers include (but are not limited to): • Sustainable and innovative education technologies and practices • Universal access to quality education • The new role for IS/IT in society and education and the value of information and knowledge • The role of cooperative learning for life-long learning and societal developments • Digital transformation: opportunities and challenges for education, work, and society • Digital learning environments: Innovations and trends • Equality, diversity, and inclusion in education, work, and society • The use of large language models and generative AI in education • New topics and domains in IT-enhanced education We hope to attract the interest of IS/IT educators and those creative IT practitioners who care about developing a sustainable digital future.
