CFP: CUI 2023 Workshop on Designing Conversational User Interfaces for Older Adults

by Sayan Sarcar

Designing Conversational User Interfaces for Older Adults A workshop to held at the ACM SIGCHI CUI 2023 conference (Conversational User Interfaces) Call for Submissions and for Participation This multidisciplinary workshop aims to tackle the significant gaps in theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and exploration of new paradigms within the research and design of Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs) for Older Adults (OAs). We also aim to build research capacity by bringing together researchers and practitioners across several disciplines and industries who are actively working or having an interest toward understanding older adults’ use of and need for CUIs. We invite researchers from various fields to present their work on and collectively engage in synthesizing and collating findings from different disciplines, and to discuss barriers and approaches to designing CUIs that are usable, adoptable, personally, and culturally relevant to OAs. Given the nascent phase of this community, and our goal of encouraging a grassroots approach to defining this space, we welcome position papers, short research papers, or short expressions of interest relevant to the broad space of designing CUIs for OAs. There is no format for the expression of interest - those wishing to participate in the workshop without a submitted paper should simply contact the organizers via email indicating through a short paragraph their prior experience and/or interest as relevant to the workshop, alongside their professional website or scholar page. For those interested in submitting a formal paper, we welcome short papers describing e.g. a research study, a novel system, a new theoretical contribution, or position papers that highlight new or ongoing challenges in the field. Submitted papers will be lightly reviewed by the organizing committee within 10 days of submission (there is no formal deadline). Accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website. We recommend papers to be no more than 4 pages long, following the CHI Extended Abstract format). Submissions, expressions of interest, and any other queries related to the workshop should be sent to: cui-oa2023(a)cs.toronto.edu Submissions will be reviewed according to the fit with the workshop topic and potential to contribute to the workshop goals. Alternate submission arrangements may be possible (such as the showcasing of papers previously accepted at other conferences).

Subject line: VL/HCC 2023 call for posters (due June 28) and graduate consortium (due July 7)

by Rebecca Krosnick

VL/HCC 2023: IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-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). ---------------------- We invite you to consider submitting work to our posters/showpieces and graduate consortium tracks: Posters and Showpieces Submission deadline: June 28, 2023 AoE The Posters and Showpieces track (called the “showpieces track” for short) offers an interactive opportunity to discuss recent research, experiences, challenges, ideas, prototypes, and accomplishments with the VL/HCC community. Formerly called “posters and demonstrations”, the category now includes posters, videos, downloadable apps, handouts, electronic devices, physical prototypes, or any other artifacts that facilitate meaningful interactions with other conference attendees. A broad range of topics are appropriate for showpieces. The following non-exhaustive list illustrates the possibilities: - Current research in progress. This might include: - Original or innovative technologies or prototypes that may or may not be accompanied by an evaluation - Short qualitative or quantitative studies - Reflections, provocations, or proposals about theory or methods - Results presented in the main VL/HCC conference - Results already presented at another conference or published in a journal - Existing commercial products and/or services - Efforts aimed at integrating research into education - Efforts aimed at commercializing research Showpieces can help accomplish many goals, such as: - Helping graduate student presenters to meet faculty from other universities - Building community interest in a novel way of approaching a research topic - Starting conversations that could lead to new collaborations - Demonstrating to industry sponsors that a specific line of research has practical applications - Showcasing products or services available for sale More details: https://conf.researchr.org/track/vlhcc-2023/vlhcc-2023-posters-and-showpiec… Graduate Consortium Submission deadline: July 7, 2023 AoE The primary goal of this year’s event is to stimulate graduate students’ and other researchers’ thinking about “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 to empower users in creating software applications for constrained domains, even if they lack a programming background. This goal aligns with the theme of the 2023 VL/HCC main conference. Other areas within the remit of VL/HCC are also welcome. Why You Should Participate - Present your work to a smaller, more attentive audience - Get detailed, critical, constructive feedback from a diverse panel of experts - Meet other students working on similar problems - Travel funding may be available to help cover your cost of attending VL/HCC (details below). Who Can Participate? The consortium is open to both Master’s and PhD students worldwide. Participation is particularly encouraged from PhD students who are close to proposing a thesis, as well as from members of groups identified by NSF as underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. If multiple applicants from a particular university apply for the consortium this year, then no more than two per university will be selected to participate. To be eligible, each applicant may have participated no more than once in the VL/HCC graduate consortia of past years.
