SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
The fast development of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and
Mixed Reality (MR) solutions over the last few years are transforming how
people interact, work, and communicate. The eXtended Reality (XR) term
encloses all those immersive technologies that can shift the boundaries
between digital and physical worlds to realize the metaverse. According to
tech companies and venture capitalists, the metaverse will be a
super-platform that convenes sub-platforms: social media, online video
games, and ease-of-life apps, all accessible through the same digital space
and sharing the same digital economy. Inside the metaverse, virtual worlds
will allow avatars to carry out all human endeavours, including creation,
display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the metaverse will
evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, health
services, cultural heritage, and each other things on the Internet. A user
could join friends to play a multiplayer game, watch a movie via a
streaming service and then attend a university course precisely the same as
in the real world.
The metaverse development will require new software architecture that will
enable decentralized and collaborative virtual worlds. These self-organized
virtual worlds will be permanent and will require maintenance operations.
In addition, it will be necessary to design an efficient data management
system and prevent privacy violations. Finally, the convergence of physical
reality, virtually enhanced, and an always-on virtual space highlighted the
need to rethink the actual paradigms for visualization, interaction, and
sharing of digital information, moving toward more natural, intuitive,
dynamically customizable, multimodal, and multi-user solutions.
This special session aims to focus on exploring how the realization of the
metaverse can transform certain application domains such us: (i)
healthcare, in which the metaverse solutions can, for instance, improve the
communication between patients and physicians; (ii) cultural heritage, with
potentially more effective solutions for tourism guidance, site
maintenance, and heritage object conservation; and (iii) industry, where to
enable data-driven decision making, smart maintenance, and overall asset
optimisation.

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
1st International Workshop Robots for Humans (R4H)
Co-located within the 17th International Conference on Advanced Visual
Interfaces (AVI2024)
Arenzano (Genoa), Italy
June 3rd or 4th 2024
Workshop website: https://r4h-workshop.github.io/
#############################################################
AIMS AND SCOPE
The "Robots for Humans" (R4H) workshop bridges the Human-Computer
Interaction (HCI) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) communities.
With this workshop, we want to bring together these communities by
highlighting the commonalities of the two, stressing their differences,
and encouraging the contamination of their methods and results. We aim
to do so by recognising that human beings can be the bridge between
these two communities and the main objective for a human-centred design
approach.
With these reflections in mind, our workshop invites HCI and HRI
researchers to develop proposals for theoretical, technical and design
ideas that highlight thoughts on empowerment and the new challenges
posed by the design of robots. We ask researchers to propose both
perspectives: the utopian, which imagines ideal scenarios, and the
dystopian, which explores potential challenges, reflecting on the role
of artefact design and interaction in shaping these visions.
Join us to explore the intricate bond between humans and robots for
thoughtful HRI advancements.
#############################################################
TOPICS
Topics included in the workshop, but not limited to, are the following:
HCI theories and methods and novel approaches applied to HRI, Cognitive
Architectures for HRI.
Concept papers on the role of technology and robots in empowering or
challenging human well-being.
Empirical studies for human empowerment with technology (e.g., SAR,
Health care, educational context).
Participatory design approaches for HRI applications (e.g., user-centred
design for computer and robotic applications, human-centred, and
interaction-based design)
Research methods and challenges for different contexts (e.g., assistive
and education) in the HRI field.
Interaction with virtual or physical embodied agents, human factors and
human-in-the-loop in HRI, group dynamics in HRI.
Design relationship between humans and robots (multi-modal
communication, robot personalities, gender robotics, empathy).
Diversity, power dynamics, gender, racism, social stereotypes and
vulnerable targets of users in HRI.
Trust, acceptance and explainability in HRI; personalisation and
end-user development of robot applications.
Ethical issues (e.g. privacy, misuse and abusive interactions), social
risks and fairness in HRI.
#############################################################
ORGANISATION AND DURATION
We plan to conduct a half-day workshop including the following activities:
Welcome and opening (10 min.).
Keynote speaker: Dr Giulia Perugia (confirmed) (30 min.) and Q&A (10 min.).

ABSTRACT
=========
Adaptive and personalized systems have become pervasive technologies,
gradually playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives.
Indeed, we are now accustomed to interacting with algorithms that leverage
the power of Language Models (LLMs) to assist us in various scenarios. From
services suggesting music or movies to personal assistants proactively
supporting us in complex decision-making tasks. As these technologies
continue to shape our everyday experiences,
it becomes imperative to ensure that the internal mechanisms guiding these
algorithms are transparent and comprehensible. The EU General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) recognizes the users' right to explanation
when confronted with intelligent systems, highlighting the significance of
this aspect.
Regrettably, current research often prioritizes the maximization of
personalization strategy effectiveness, such as recommendation accuracy, at
the expense of model explainability.
To address this concern, the workshop aims to provide a platform for
in-depth discussions on challenges, problems, and innovative research
approaches in the field. The workshop will specifically focus on
investigating the role of transparency and explainability in recent
methodologies for constructing user models and developing personalized and
adaptive systems.
By bringing together researchers and practitioners, the workshop aims to
foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the development of novel
solutions. Through this collective effort, we can advance the understanding
and implementation of transparent and interpretable approaches in adaptive
and personalized systems, including integrating Language Models (LLMs) to
enhance transparency and enable users to comprehend the internal mechanisms
guiding these systems.

*SLERD 2024* is organized by /*Université de Technologie de Troyes* /in
collaboration with /ASLERD//./

/*Short Intro*/
After the shock of the pandemic, learning ecosystems – and in particular
schools, universities, and territorial learning communities – all over
the world – are facing a new phase characterized by the search for and
the experimentation of ways to their “*new normality*“. This is within a
world that seeks to protect at best and incentivize the economic
recovery that although relevant is still subjected to enormous risks.
Among the main areas on which most of the industrialized countries and
Europe are focusing on, there are: the transitions towards a green and
circular economy, smart digitization of the production processes, social
innovation, active citizen participation supported by technologies, and,
finally, the education for all. In such a context,*collaboration*is
emerging as an approach and an attitude of considerable relevance that
stays also at the basis of the polyphonic construction of the future of
learning ecosystems.
Alongside/collaboration/, on the technological side, it continues to
rise the relevance of intelligent systems, generically collected under
the label of*Artificial Intelligence*(AI); concurrently, on the
pedagogical side,*competences*have become the goal of future education,
also in the attempt to close the skill gap, which represents one of the
greatest dangers for the transition towards smarter productive systems
and societies.
Competences and AI, by the way, are also topics that intersect and
influence each other and rise questions of*ethical nature*. Last but not
least, they are likely to require an organizational and didactic
revolution of the learning ecosystems, thus requiring to question the
possible consequences in order to build a more adequate future. In turn,
this step requires inspiration from best practices to leverage the
advantage of the growth of individuals and the expectations of the
communities.
What should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How “smart
learning ecosystems” are changing? How such changes may be related to
the achievement of “a better learning for a better world
<http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/aslerd/docs/TIMISOARA_DECLARATI…>”
as a contribution to theUnited Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)
<https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld>?
How will they contribute to the reduction of inequalities and, at the
same time, to the empowering of each individual according to his
expectations and talents?
/**//*Topics of interests*/
*SLERD 2024* is proud to invite colleagues - researchers and

ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Late-Breaking Results and Demos
ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
July 1-4, 2024
The 32nd International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2024) is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP 2024 is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI<https://sigchi.org/> and SIGWEB<https://www.sigweb.org/>. User Modeling Inc.<https://um.org/>, as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. ACM UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduct<https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment>. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library.
ACM UMAP 2024 invites Late-Breaking Results (LBR) papers as well as Demonstrations (demos) of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes). The topics for these submissions are the same as the ones included in the Call for Full and Short Papers<https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-full-and-short-papers/>. However, their scope and timing is different. In particular, although short papers (from the main track) and the LBR papers of this call have the same maximum length, LBR papers are expected to present innovative ideas that are being explored and have already shown some promising results. It is also a dissemination channel for new research directions. Mature results which have already gone through experimental validation are more suitable for the general call, either as a full or short paper. Thus, rejected papers from the main track are not expected to be a valuable contribution as an LBR paper unless their contents are revised to address the scope of this track. Note also that LBR papers are to be presented physically during the conference in a poster format, allowing for more informal discussions on the ideas shared. Demos are intended to present systems that have been used to achieve the research outcomes presented as full and short papers. Thus, we highly recommend authors of accepted full and short papers to also prepare a submission for a demo of their system to be showcased at the conference in the LBR and Demo session.
** Important Dates **
* Submission: April 18, 2024
* Notification: May 9 2024
* Camera-ready Submission (TAPS system): May 16, 2024
* Conference: July 1 – 4, 2024
Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth)<https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe> time.
** Submission **
All submissions must be written in English. Papers should be submitted electronically, in a PDF format, through the EasyChair submission system, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap24, by selecting the “UMAP24 Late Breaking Results and Demo Papers” track
** Length and Formatting **
-- Late-Breaking Results Format --
* Page Limits. Up to 7 pages, plus up to 2 additional pages for references (figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit).
* Proceedings. Publication in ACM UMAP 2024 adjunct proceedings.
* Presentation. Physically presented as a poster during the conference.
* Description. LBRs are research-in-progress that must contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of UMAP. In addition, papers introducing recently started research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit late-breaking work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues.
In case that papers rejected in the main track (i.e. submitted as full or short papers) are submitted to this track, they should be revised not only to take into account the comments made to help improve the paper, but to fulfill the scope of the LBR, which emphasizes novelty of ideas. This is also valid for papers that have been recommended as an LBR when rejected in the main track.
-- Demos Format --
* Page Limits *. Up to 5 pages, plus up to 1 additional page for references (figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit). On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2024.
* Supporting Material *. Video or external material demonstrating the system.
* Proceedings *. Publication in ACM UMAP 2024 adjunct proceedings.
* Presentation * . Physically presented as a demo plus as a poster during the conference.
* Description *. Demos will showcase research prototypes and commercially available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference.
Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase implementations and get valuable feedback from the community, especially for those papers that have been presented in the main track. Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how these will be demonstrated on-site as well as online.
To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or YouTube) or any external material related to the demo (e.g., shared code on GitHub).
*Non-Anonymity.* Submissions will be reviewed single-masked (i.e., authors’ names should be included in the papers) thus there is no need to be anonymized before submission.
*Template for the Research Description.* Following the ACM Publication Workflow<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in the new ACM single-column format. Instructions for authors are given below:
* LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript, review, anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with LaTeX<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>.
* Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Overleaf<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/overleaf>.
* Word. Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Microsoft Word<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>
Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com<mailto:acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com> for LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries.
* Accessibility.* Authors are strongly encouraged to provide “alt text” (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author and it broadens the reader base for the author’s work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Additionally, authors should follow the ACM Accessibility Recommendations for Publishing in Color and SIG ACCESS guidelines on describing figures<https://authors.acm.org/journals/accessibility-recommendations-for-publishi…>.
** Review Process & Camera-ready Submission **
* Review * Submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall readability. Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the formatting guidelines will be returned without review.
The ACM Code of Ethics<https://ethics.acm.org/> gives the UMAP program committee the right to (desk-)reject papers that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, employ unethical research practices, or uncritically present outcomes/implications that clearly disadvantage minority communities. Further, reviewers will be explicitly asked to consider whether the research was conducted in compliance with professional ethical standards and applicable regulatory guidelines. Failure to do so could lead to a (desk-)rejection.
*Camera-ready Information.* Accepted papers will be subject to further revision to meet the requirements of the camera-ready format required by ACM. We strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX/Overleaf for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting. Users of the Word template must use either the version for Microsoft Word for Windows, Macintosh Office 2011, or Macintosh Office 2016 (other formats such as Open Office, etc., are not admitted) for the camera-ready submission to avoid incompatibility issues.
Instructions for preparing the camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be provided after acceptance. This might include instructions to prepare a video of the accepted contribution. Camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be later submitted using ACM’s new production platform<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML output formats before publication.
** Registration and Presentation Policy **
Each accepted paper must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the early registration date cut-off. Each accepted paper must be presented in person to be included in the conference adjunct proceedings, published by ACM and available via the ACM Digital Library. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
During the conference, all categories will be presented at the poster reception, in the form of a poster and/or a software demonstration following poster format. This form of presentation will provide presenters with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the conference.

Call for Papers - Special Session on: “EXTENDED REALITY AS A GATEWAY TO THE
METAVERSE: PRACTICES, THEORIES, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS”
https://metroxraine.org/special-session-6
2024 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality,
Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2024)
https://metroxraine.org/
October 21-23, 2024 - St Albans, London, UK.
====================================================================================
SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
The fast development of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and
Mixed Reality (MR) solutions over the last few years are transforming how
people interact, work, and communicate. The eXtended Reality (XR) term
encloses all those immersive technologies that can shift the boundaries
between digital and physical worlds to realize the metaverse. According to
tech companies and venture capitalists, the metaverse will be a
super-platform that convenes sub-platforms: social media, online video
games, and ease-of-life apps, all accessible through the same digital space
and sharing the same digital economy. Inside the metaverse, virtual worlds
will allow avatars to carry out all human endeavours, including creation,
display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the metaverse will
evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, health
services, cultural heritage, and each other things on the Internet. A user
could join friends to play a multiplayer game, watch a movie via a
streaming service and then attend a university course precisely the same as
in the real world.
The metaverse development will require new software architecture that will
enable decentralized and collaborative virtual worlds. These self-organized
virtual worlds will be permanent and will require maintenance operations.
In addition, it will be necessary to design an efficient data management
system and prevent privacy violations. Finally, the convergence of physical
reality, virtually enhanced, and an always-on virtual space highlighted the
need to rethink the actual paradigms for visualization, interaction, and
sharing of digital information, moving toward more natural, intuitive,
dynamically customizable, multimodal, and multi-user solutions.
This special session aims to focus on exploring how the realization of the
metaverse can transform certain application domains such us: (i)
healthcare, in which the metaverse solutions can, for instance, improve the
communication between patients and physicians; (ii) cultural heritage, with
potentially more effective solutions for tourism guidance, site
maintenance, and heritage object conservation; and (iii) industry, where to
enable data-driven decision making, smart maintenance, and overall asset
optimisation.
