These technologies—mobile computing, AR and VR, interactive IoTs, tangible interfaces, and responsive architectures—are increasingly shaping our daily experiences in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and cities. We call these physical-digital spaces Hybrid Environments . As these technologies continue to transform the way we live, many new opportunities emerge for design education and practice. Within higher education, more and more programs aim to cross-train designers, architects, creative technologists, and artists to operate in these emerging terrains. This is a complex pedagogical practice. Designing for Hybrid Environments requires knowledge and training in the design of both physical environments and interactive technologies. Solutions cut across, and often operate at multiple, scales: from the object to the room, from the neighborhood to the city. Consequently, the design of good physical-digital spaces must often bridge fundamental knowledge in design, architecture, art, interactivity, and computation. How are we meeting this emergent need? How do we educate cross-trained students to creatively respond and adapt to these complex design spaces? In this special issue, we invite design educators to share their pedagogies, frameworks, and tools for crafting next-generation physical-digital spaces. We hope to gather, reflect, and share valuable examples and instructional practices so that we might learn from one another and critically examine how to teach students to design Hybrid Environments. Ultimately, we seek to form a common understanding and begin building the foundations for design education in this emerging field. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue devoted to Design Education for Hybrid Environments includes, but is not limited to: • Teaching for and within VR, AR, and XR technologies. • Teaching for interactive IoT, spatial computing, ambient media, and responsive architecture. • CAD and CAM tools to help conceive, represent, prototype, and test Hybrid Environments. • Theoretical frameworks and representational techniques to navigating scales of design —from the object to the room, from the neighborhood to the city. • Cognitive approaches to explain and study reasoning, conceiving, and building Hybrid Environments. • Post-Pandemic Hybrid Environments, including telepresence, distributed spaces, and the temporality of experience. • Assessment and performance methods, including pilot studies, curricula, or cases of evaluating Hybrid Environments design and instruction. • Instructional experiences resilient to rapid change in technology infrastructures and toolsets. • Research methods supporting the design process and evaluation of Hybrid Environments. =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors are invited to submit 8-30 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).

Workshop on "creating custom visualization templates with RAWGraphs 2.0"

by Tommaso Elli

*** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING *** We invite you to the workshop: Creating custom visualization templates with RAWGraphs 2.0 20 September 2023 @ CHItaly conference (Turin, IT) [6475b91bf36e14ee9baac43b_Screenshot 2023-05-30 at 10.50.28.png] Focusing on expanding access to data visualization, RAWGraphs (https://www.rawgraphs.io/) is an open-source software that offers a variety of visualization templates, such as Sankey diagrams, bubble charts, bump charts, horizon charts, and many … [View More]more. In this upcoming workshop, participants will be taught how to develop custom visualization templates using RAWGraphs. The new version, 2.0, has simplified the process of creating templates, allowing for easy usage through a straightforward loading function (to be released soon). This 4-hour workshop will be held during the CHItaly 2023 conference and is intended for visualization experts, designers, developers, and researchers (including PhDs) who desire to create specialized tools to support specific requirements and/or progress in their research. Our objective is to guide participants in creating 5 new templates. Hence, a fundamental prerequisite is a good understanding of data visualization and Javascript development. Participation is possible as individuals or groups. It is also possible to participate in the idea of someone else in case you just want to learn more about the software. Use this form to submit your participation: https://forms.gle/gbzLzUM7DSdg8JhM7 Further information at https://www.rawgraphs.io/ws-chitaly2023 Important dates Deadline for submissions: 23 June 2023 (11:59 p.m. AoE) Notification to authors: 14 July 2023 Date of the workshop: 20 September 2023 (detailed schedule TBA) Feel free to contact us in case you need further information at: hello(a)rawgraphs.io<mailto:hello@rawgraphs.io> (with email subject: WS CHItaly 2023).

10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023): Final Call for Submissions

by georgeangelos60＠gmail.com

*** Final Call for Submissions *** 10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023) October 24-26, 2023, Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/esocc2023/ (Proceedings to be published in Springer LNCS; Journal Special Issue with Springer Computing) Submission Deadline: Abstracts by June 25, 2023; Full Papers by July 2, 2023 AIM AND SCOPE Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the primary approaches to build large-… [View More]scale distributed systems and deliver software services to end users. Cloud-native software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of (micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the increasing growth of their computing capabilities. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe. ESOCC aims to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. TOPICS OF INTEREST ESOCC 2023 seeks original, high-quality contributions related to all aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud computing.
