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.

NLDB 2024
The 29th International Conference on Natural Language & Information Systems
25-27 June 2024, University of Turin, Italy.
Website: https://nldb2024.di.unito.it/
*Submission deadline: 22 March, 2024*
About NLDB
The 29th International Conference on Natural Language & Information
Systems will be held at the University of Turin, Italy, and will be a
face to face event. Since 1995, the NLDB conference brings together
researchers, industry practitioners, and potential users interested in
various applications of Natural Language in the Database and Information
Systems field. The term "Information Systems" has to be considered in
the broader sense of Information and Communication Systems, including
Big Data, Linked Data and Social Networks.
The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has itself recently
experienced several exciting developments. In research, these
developments have been reflected in the emergence of Large Language
Modelsand the importance of aspects such as transparency, bias and
fairness, Large Multimodal Models and the connection of the NLP field
with Computer Vision, chatbots and dialogue-based pipelines.
Regarding applications, NLP systems have evolved to the point that they
now offer real-life, tangible benefits to enterprises. Many of these NLP
systems are now considered a de-facto offering in business intelligence
suites, such as algorithms for recommender systems and opinion
mining/sentiment analysis. Language models developed by the open-source
community have become widespread and commonly used. Businesses are now
readily adopting these technologies, thanks to the efforts of the
open-source community. For example, fine-tuning a language model on a
company’s own dataset is now easy and convenient, using modules created
by thousands of academic researchers and industry experts.
It is against this backdrop of recent innovations in NLP and its
applications in information systems that the 29th edition of the NLDB
conference takes place. We welcome research and industrial
contributions, describing novel, previously unpublished works on NLP and
its applications across a plethora of topics as described in the Call
for Papers.
Call for Papers:
NLDB 2024 invites authors to submit papers on unpublished research that
addresses theoretical aspects, algorithms, applications, architectures

provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in intelligent tools in
e-learning, m-learning and d-learning, fostering discussions on their implications for the
future of education and their potential to address challenges in diverse learning
environments and educational levels, as well as diverse learner ability.

*** CAiSE'24 Forum: Last Mile for Papers and Tool Demonstrations Submisions ***
36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering
(CAiSE'24)
June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/
(*** Submission Deadline: 11th March, 2024 AoE (extended) ***)
(*** Proceedings will be published by Springer in LNBIP ***)
The CAiSE Forum is a space within the CAiSE conference to present and discuss the new
exciting ideas and tools related to Information Systems Engineering. The Forum intends to
serve as an interactive platform, encourage potential authors to present emerging topics and
controversial positions, and demonstrate innovative systems, tools, and applications. The
Forum sessions at the CAiSE conference will facilitate the interaction, discussion, and
exchange of ideas among presenters and participants. Contributions to the CAiSE'24 Forum
are welcome to address any of the CAiSE'24 conference topics and, particularly, this year's
theme—Information Systems in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
We invite two types of submissions:
• Visionary papers present innovative research projects, which are still at a relatively early
stage and do not necessarily include a full-scale validation. Visionary papers will be
presented as posters in the Forum.
• Demo papers describe innovative tools and prototypes that implement the results of
research efforts. The tools and prototypes will be presented as demos in the Forum,
accompanied by a poster.
Both visionary papers and demo papers must not exceed 8 pages in LNCS format.
See authors' guidelines at the Springer site:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… .
Papers should be submitted in PDF format through the conference management system
available at Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=caise2024) and select the
Forum option.
The submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere.
PUBLICATION AND PRESENTATIONS
Accepted papers will be published by Springer in a CAiSE Forum proceedings volume within
the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series
(https://www.springer.com/series/7911). Authors should consult Springer's authors
guidelines and use their LaTeX or Word proceedings templates for the preparation of their
papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the
corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper,
must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the
copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files
have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
It is expected that at least one of the authors attends CAiSE'24, presents the poster/delivers
the demo, and interacts with the Forum participants. We also envision a short oral
presentation for all papers to attract participants to the posters.
