4th International Workshop on Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems (EMPATHY) - Deadline extended to May 7th

by Andrea Mattioli

*Apologies for cross-posting* *Call for papers* ***Submission deadline extended to May 7th*** EMPATHY: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems - 4th Edition https://empathy-ws.github.io/2023/ June 6th, 2023 Cagliari, Italy Workshop co-located with IS-EUD 2023 OVERVIEW In the last decade, the spreading of low-cost technologies integrating sensors and actuators has favored the development of the so-called smart objects. This trend has been further fostered by the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects the physical world with Internet via ubiquitous sensors and actuators. The opportunities offered by the IoT are amplified by the use of new approaches that, based on novel interaction paradigms, involve directly non-technical users in configuring the joint behavior of their smart objects, among them and with online services. Existing solutions to define the behavior of such “IoT ecosystems” range from systems that leave the users complete control for establishing the joint behavior of smart objects, to solutions that automatically define smart objects behavior exploiting intelligent techniques. In this continuum, different technologies, frameworks, and approaches present different levels of user control and automation. In this perspective it is also important to consider the emerging role played by social and humanoid robots, which are integrated sets of sensors and actuators with human-like behaviours. DATES May 7th: Paper submission deadline (Extended) May 9th: Paper acceptance notice (Extended) May 29th: Camera-ready submission (Extended) June 6th: Workshop day SUGGESTED TOPICS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS This workshop aims to serve as a venue for discussing ongoing research and sharing ideas for researchers and practitioners working on solutions to personalize the behavior of IoT ecosystems. We aim to encourage participation in order to have stimulating discussion from various perspectives. Topics include, but are not limited, to: - End-User Development (EUD) for IoT; - Interaction Paradigms for IoT; - Usability of IoT Systems; - Interface Design for IoT; - Intelligent Interface for IoT Systems; - Accessibility for IoT Systems; - Virtual and Augmented Reality for EUD in IoT settings; - Conversational User Interfaces for EUD; - Usable Privacy and Security in IoT systems; - Personalisation and Recommendations for IoT; - IoT for Cultural Heritage; - Ubiquitous computing and mobile human-computer interaction; - Human-centered artificial intelligence in IoT contexts; - Explainable AI solutions for EUD; - User centered design; - Personalization for Humanoid Robots; - Integrated and Visual Development Environments for IoT; - Interaction Paradigms for IoT; - Industry case studies. PARTICIPATION This will be a one-day workshop, oriented towards discussions, hands-on sessions, and presentations. We invite submissions of two types: short papers (3-4 pages) and position papers (1-2 pages). Participants are asked to submit their paper describing their recent or future work in one of the areas indicated in the topics of interest. All submissions must be in the 1-column CEURART Template (https://ceurws.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/ceurws-publishes-ceurart-paper-styl…).

The pandemic situation boosted the growth of education in the online context: online learning is becoming an essential part of the educational landscape. Learning Analytics has always been a measurement of data about learners and their contexts for understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. It is a combination of educational research, assessment sciences, statistics, visualization, data sciences, artificial intelligence, and socio-technical system thinking for human-centered design. Educational concepts and practices can be enhanced, and put on trial, by means of theories and techniques of Learning Analytics. Learning Analytics can support educational practices to reach better results, in any learning context, from traditional learning, in less technological areas, to personalized and adaptive e-learning, extending its usefulness to social-wide learning-on-demand applications. In order to perform and develop Learning Analytics, current data science and intelligent systems should be introduced in addition to the conventional instruction/learning systems, theories, and practices. At this stage of its evolution, Learning Analytics requires transparency and an “easy to grasp” feeling, such as the visualization process of the educational data can produce. The interaction between Learning Analytics and Information Visualization may produce a new concept of educational innovation. The Learning Analytics Symposium within the Information Visualization Conference LA@iV2023 aims at bringing together researchers from a number of disciplines (e.g., Education, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in particular, Management, Psychology, Economics, CyberSecurity, and Data Governance), practitioners, students, policymakers and companies to share and discuss the latest research insights related to Learning Analytics and its interaction with Information Visualization. Therefore, we welcome submissions from both research and practice, encompassing different theoretical, methodological, empirical, and technical contributions to the Learning Analytics field. Academics and practitioners, who are interested in such topics should consider submitting their research work and attending this event. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: Learning Analytics and AI AI for Education [Learning, Teaching, Intelligent Assessment and Feedback] AI-supported educational resources AI virtual personal assistants Learning & Teaching tracking Temporal Analysis of Learning Data Tools for quality assurance and quality improvement Tools for boosting retention rate Tools for adaptive learning Tools to improve teaching quality Emotional and expression for cognitive condition learning Learning activity and eye movements Learning activity and behavioural / bio signals Learning Analytics for Education Data Science for Education: open data, big data Machine and Deep Learning for Education Educational Data Mining Platforms and Tools for Educational Data Analytics for Teaching and learning methodologies supporting departments and schools for education Learning strategies Self-regulated learning Instructional designs Peer support & assessment Collaborative learning Team-based learning Generic skills / Key competence Literacy development/assessment Cultural difference Evaluation theories and techniques Test theory Item Response Theory Learning activities Performance assessment Essay document text analysis Motivation assessment Self Efficacy Conceptual mapping Portfolio Educational indicators Game-Based Learning / Gamification Technical infrastructures and platforms for Learning Analytics E-Learning M-Learning Platforms for MOOCs management Personalised and Adaptive Learning systems Learning analytics warehouse Data Science platforms for Learning Analytics Issues in Data-Driven Educational Theories and models Automate assessment Automate Essay / Report assessment Prediction of learning performance and engagement Educational Database / Datashare Ethics and privacy in learning analytics --- Symposium Steering Committee Tania Di Mascio, University of L’Aquila, Italy tania.dimascio((a))univaq.it Minoru Nakayama, Tokyo Inst. of Technology, Japan nakayama((a))ict.e.titech.ac.jp Filippo Sciarrone, Universitas Mercatorum, Italy filippo.sciarrone((a))unimercatorum.it Marco Temperini, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy marte((a))diag.uniroma1.it

CfP - VL/HCC 2023 - abstracts due this week, April 21 - IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing

by Rebecca Krosnick

VL/HCC 2023: IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2023 **Call for Research Papers** IMPORTANT DATES - Abstracts only: April 21, 2023 - Submission deadline: April 28, 2023 - Rebuttal phase: June 5 - 9, 2023 - Notification: June 23, 2023 - Camera-ready: July 14, 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). SCOPE AND TOPICS We solicit original, unpublished research papers on computing technologies for modeling, programming, communicating, and reasoning, which are easier to learn, use or understand by humans than the current state-of-the-art. Papers should focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate those technologies and languages. This includes technologies intended for general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public) or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people working in business administration, production environments, healthcare, urban design or scientific domains). Empirical papers that validate current proposed solutions with rigorous scientific means (i.e., empirical studies, controlled experiments, rigorous case studies, etc.) are also welcome. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Visual languages: Novel visual languages, Design, evaluation, and theory of visual languages and applications, Development of systems for manipulating and interacting with diagrammatic representations - Human aspects and psychology of software development and language design, such as supporting inclusion and diversity in programming - End-user development: End-user development, adaptation and programming, Creation and evaluation of technologies and infrastructures for end-user development - Crowdsourcing design and development work - Representations: Novel representations and user interfaces for expressing computation, Software, algorithm and data visualization - Modeling: Model-driven development, Domain-specific languages, including modeling languages, Visual modeling of human behavior and socio-technical systems - Thinking more deeply about code: Computational thinking and Computer Science education, Debugging and program understanding, Explainable ML/AI If you are not sure if your paper is a good fit for VL/HCC, feel free to email the PC Co-chairs (see “Contact” below). We welcome those new to the VL/HCC community to submit! SPECIAL EMPHASIS FOR 2023: Low-Code / No-Code Development This year’s special topic is “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. This way, users are empowered to create software applications for constrained domains, even if they lack a programming background. This year, we especially welcome papers at VL/HCC that design, build, or evaluate any aspects of low-code and no-code solutions. PAPER SUBMISSIONS We invite two kinds of papers: - full-length research papers, up to 8 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements - short research papers, up to 4 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements Papers must be submitted using the IEEE two-column conference paper format. Be sure to use the current IEEE conference paper format (which was updated in 2019), and to select the “US letter” template: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2023). To facilitate the assigning of papers to reviewers, we require paper abstracts to be submitted via EasyChair at least 1 week prior to the paper submission deadline (see Important Dates below). The abstract must be kept up to date such that it matches exactly the abstract in the submitted paper. The abstract must be no longer than 250 words. All accepted papers, whether full or short, should be complete, self-contained, archival contributions. Contributions from full papers are more extensive than those from short papers. Note that some full paper submissions may be accepted as short papers if reviewers deem contributions to be comparable in size to a short paper. Work-in-progress, which has not yet yielded an archival contribution, should be submitted to the Posters/Showpieces category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee in a double-blind review process. Authors will then receive the reviews for their submissions and will be able to answer them in a rebuttal phase. Only after this step the PC will make a final decision about the acceptance of the submissions. Submissions and reviews for the technical program are managed with EasyChair. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for VL/HCC 2023 and present the paper at the conference. There will be a virtual presentation option in case of travel restrictions. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference. The proceedings of IEEE VL/HCC are published in digital form by the IEEE Computer Science Society and archived in the IEEE Digital Library with an official ISBN number. Accepted papers will be available to conference attendees via the IEEE Open Preview program in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/). DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING We follow a double-blind reviewing process. Both authors and reviewers are expected to make every effort to honor the double-blind reviewing process. In case of questions, please contact the Program Chairs. Authors should ensure that the submission can be evaluated without it being obvious who wrote the paper. This means leaving author names off the paper and using terms like “previous research” rather than “our previous research” when describing background. However, do not hide previous work – papers must still reference all relevant research using full (non-anonymized) citations, including the author’s own prior work, so that reviewers can evaluate novelty. Please reference your own prior work in the third-person just like you would do for any other related work (e.g., avoid “As described in our previous work [10], … ” and instead write something like “As described by [10], …”). It is also important that authors specify all conflicts of interest with potential reviewers during the submission phase. Reviewers should not undertake any investigation that might lead to the revealing of authors’ identity. If identities are inadvertently revealed, please contact the Program Chairs. The Program Chairs will check all submissions for obvious signs of lack of anonymity and may ask authors to make changes and resubmit the paper within three days of the submission deadline. Only changes to resolve anonymity issues will be permitted. EVALUATION AND JUSTIFICATION Papers are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence. For example, a paper that claims to improve programmer productivity is expected to demonstrate improved productivity; a paper that claims to be easier to use should demonstrate increased ease of use. However, not all claims necessarily need to be supported with empirical evidence or studies with people. For example, a paper that claims to make something feasible that was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim through the existence of a functioning prototype. Moreover, there are many alternatives to empirical evidence that may be appropriate for justifying claims, including analytical methods, formal arguments or case studies. Given this criterion, we encourage potential authors to think carefully about what claims their submission makes and what evidence would adequately support these claims. In addition, we expect short papers to have less comprehensive evaluation than long papers.

by Élodie BOUZEKRI

############################################################# CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop: Sustainable Human-Work Interaction Designs (SHWID) https://hwid.unibs.it/events/SHWID/ Organized by WG13.6 on Human Work Interaction Design and WG13.10 on Human-Centred Technology for Sustainability Co-located with INTERACT 2023: 19th International Conference of Technical Committee 13 (Human-Computer Interaction) of IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) 28 August - 1 September 2023 - York, UK ############################################################# Theme: Sustainable HCI explores ways to design interactive systems in a more sustainable way and to make user behavior more sustainable. Social justice and equity aspects became emergent domains in HCI during the last decade. This workshop proposes to explore how HWID design methods and exemplary HWID designs can contribute to the implementation of environmental practices in the workplace, sustainable manufacturing processes, or socially fair systems and processes. This workshop aims to (a) investigate processes and methods for creating sustainable designs and workplaces, (b) collect case studies that analyze experiences with introducing and learning from sustainability at work, and (c) formulate a research agenda for future work on sustainable human-work interaction designs. -------------------------------------------------------------- Participants are asked to submit a position paper describing work on processes, methods, or results and evaluation of these to support (but not limited to): - Digital sobriety - Green IT - Slow design, craft design - Sustainable digitalization - Users' experience in sustainable environment - Engagement in environmental behavior - System-organization fit, organizational implementation, or benefits realization -------------------------------------------------------------- Participation and submission: Papers must be two- to four-page position paper formatted according to the INTERACT proceedings format (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). We encourage both senior and early-stage researchers to submit position papers describing work in progress or completed research. Position papers must be submitted in PDF format (non-anonymized) in EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=shwid2023. Submissions will be reviewed by two reviewers based on relevance, originality, significance, and quality. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted position paper must attend the workshop. In agreement with the authors, revised version of accepted position papers will be published in INTERACT Workshop Proceedings volume. -------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates: Paper submission deadline: May 8th, 2023 Paper notification of acceptance: May 29th, 2023 -------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop organizers: - Elodie Bouzekri (contact: elodie.bouzekri(a)estia.fr<mailto:elodie.bouzekri@estia.fr>) - Barbara Rita Barricelli - Torkil Clemmensen - Morten Hertzum - Masoodian Masood
