CfP: CoPDA 2022 "Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: AI for Humans or Humans for AI?"

by Barbara Rita Barricelli

--------------- Call for Papers --------------- CoPDA 2022 - 6th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: AI for Humans or Humans for AI? https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2022/ June 6, 2022 - Frascati (Rome), Italy In conjunction with AVI 2022 (https://sites.google.com/di.uniroma1.it/avi2022) -------- Overview -------- This edition of the CoPDA workshop will be dedicated to discussing the current hype about Artificial Intelligence (AI) by contrasting it with the objectives pursued by Human-Centered Design (HCD). The workshop will establish a forum to explore our basic assumption (and to provide at least partial evidence) that the most successful AI systems out there today are dependent on teams of humans, just as humans depend on these systems to gain access to information, provide insights and perform tasks beyond their own capabilities. Recognizing that AI is today one of the “hottest” topics in large parts of the world, this CoPDA edition will reflect on the role of HCD in the AI age. Mainly, we are not interested in discussing the design of user interfaces of systems with AI features per se; rather, grounded in research activities from a broad spectrum of academic disciplines, from computer science to social science, this CoPDA workshop will critically analyze the current hype about AI by contrasting it with the objectives pursued by HCD, in order to investigate the impact on individuals, social groups, and society as a whole. More precisely, 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-computer interaction, 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): - Collective human-centered design - Collaborative learning - Cultures of participation - Meaningful human control - Adaptive, Adaptable, and Context-Aware Systems - Distributed cognition - Tacit knowledge and meaning making - Multi-dimensional aspects of learning - Big data and privacy - Learning analytics - Human-machine teaming systems - Explainability of AI-based decisions - Evaluation of AI-based systems - End-User Development for AI-based systems ----------- Submissions ----------- Authors are invited to submit a 5-page position paper 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 The papers can be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=copda2022 All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be collected and submitted for publication on CEUR-WS proceedings. --------------- Important dates --------------- - Mar 27th, 2022: Submission deadline for position papers - Apr 27th, 2022: Notification of acceptance - May 8th, 2022: Camera ready - Jun 6th, 2022: CoPDA 2022 workshop -------------------- Organizing Committee -------------------- Barbara Rita Barricelli (Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy) Gerhard Fischer (University of Colorado, Boulder, USA) Daniela Fogli (Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy) Anders Mørch (University of Oslo, Norway) Antonio Piccinno (Università degli Studi di Bari, Italy) Stefano Valtolina (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy) For any further information, please contact copda2022(a)easychair.org *Barbara Rita Barricelli* Assistant Professor Department of Information Engineering Università degli Studi di Brescia http://barbara-barricelli.unibs.it <http://barbara-barricelli.unibs.it> -- Informativa sulla Privacy: https://www.unibs.it/it/node/1452 <https://www.unibs.it/it/node/1452>

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 the design of 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 are used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, Learning Analytics can help manage available (big) data and 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 12th 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. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL. >>> TOPICS Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: # Technologies and technology-based solutions for TEL # - AI technologies and tools for TEL - Agent-based and multi-agent TEL systems - Knowledge representation, reasoning, and management systems for TEL - Natural language systems for TEL - Recommendation, personalization, and adaptation in TEL systems - Social networks for TEL - Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) for TEL - Internet of things (IoT) solutions for TEL - Smart solutions or environments for TEL - Wearable technologies for TEL - Robotics for TEL - Virtual reality environments for TEL - Games for TEL or gamified TEL - Sharing and interoperability between TEL environments - Making and fabrication for TEL # Methodologies and experiences for TEL # - Methodologies for personalization, user modeling, and adaptation in TEL- Methodologies for recommendation systems and user modeling in TEL - Methodologies for fostering motivation and engagement in TEL - Methodologies for the design of accessible and usable TEL systems - Methodologies for including different voices in the design process of TEL - Methodologies for informal learning for TEL - Methodologies for fostering TEL in small, medium, and large companies - Methodologies, tools, and frameworks supporting experiments in TEL - Methodologies or approaches from game design and gamification for TEL - Novel experiences and studies (e.g., case studies, ethnographic studies, field studies, experimentations) with methodologies for TEL # Learning analytics for TEL # - Big data and data visualization in TEL - Learning analytics for curriculum design - Learning analytics for personalizing the learner experience - Learning analytics for predicting behavior - Learning analytics for designing learning interventions - Learning analytics for stakeholders >>> SUBMISSIONS # Submitting papers # MIS4TEL papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNNS Template, with a maximum length of 10 pages, including figures and references.

Understanding Digital Wellbeing within Complex Technological Contexts - special issue

by Luigi De Russis

International Journal of Human-Computer Studies Special Issue on Understanding Digital Wellbeing within Complex Technological Contexts https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-human-computer-s… <https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-human-computer-s…> Submission deadline: February 15, 2022 Nowadays, there is a growing — yet debated — discussion around the negative aspects of overusing technology, with many people that feel conflicted about the amount of time they spend on their devices. In this context, researchers and practitioners have started to consider a new kind of psychological digital wellbeing, giving rise to the flourishing of digital self-control tools (DSCTs), i.e., external applications that support users in self-regulating their technology use through interventions like timers and lock-out mechanisms. Currently, the digital wellbeing topic is nearly always contextualized to consider single technological sources at a time, with a prevalence of studies and DSCTs that focus on smartphones only. As many people nowadays own (and use) several devices, however, there is a need to better understand their complex and overlapping use (and non-use), and the relationships to other people’s digital wellbeing. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industry research communities a venue for work at the state-of-the-art on digital wellbeing and DSCTs, with a particular focus on digital wellbeing within complex technological contexts. Topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to: - Critical and systematic reviews in the area of digital wellbeing and/or DSCTs - Evidence-based work that challenges and expands current definitions of digital wellbeing - Novel approaches and methodologies to overcome the contemporary single-device characterization of digital wellbeing - Digital wellbeing for under-served, under-resourced, and under-represented populations around the world - Data collection strategies, algorithms, interventions or evaluations for multi-device DSCTs - Multitasking and digital wellbeing - Strategies and tools for measuring digital wellbeing in a multi-device setting - Responsibility and role of tech companies and/or government - Social, educational, and political factors related to digital wellbeing. Important Dates ----------------------- Manuscript submission due: February 15, 2022 First round notification: April 15, 2022 Revised manuscript due: May 15, 2022 Final decision made: June 20, 2022 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2022 Publication Date: Late 2022 Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Authors need to follow the manuscript format and allowable number of pages described at: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/international-journal-of-human-computer-s… <https://www.elsevier.com/journals/international-journal-of-human-computer-s…>.
