[CHItaly 2021] Last Call for Long and Short Research Papers / 11–13 July 2021 / Bolzano, Italy

by Gennari Rosella

** Apologies for cross-posting/please share ** ================================================ CHItaly 2021 - Frontiers of HCI The Hybrid International Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html In cooperation with SIGCHI Italy and ACM-SIGCHI LAST CALL FOR LONG AND SHORT RESEARCH PAPERS Deadline (strict): Feb 28th 2021 ================================================ THEME ================================================ The theme for the 14th Edition of the Biannual Conference (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it<https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/>) of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (http://sigchitaly.eu/en/general-info/) was defined in summer 2019 as “Frontiers of HCI”. At that time, we were thinking about disciplinary and national boundaries. Little did we know of the many frontiers this hybrid conference would have to overcome to create a safe space for HCI related discussions. To overcome this challenge, CHItaly combines physical and digital events while providing synchronous and asynchronous spaces for dialogue. So far, CHItaly has physically hosted HCI scholars working in the Mediterranean and other European countries. The aim of CHItaly 2021 is to connect research and geographical areas, so as to explore frontiers and cross-fertilise HCI research in practice. From this perspective, a hybrid conference can become an incredible experimentation space which you are all invited to shape. To reach its aims, the conference 1. solicits contributions from diverse research communities relevant to HCI, such as Science and Technology Studies, Technology Enhanced Learning, Interaction Design and Digital Fabrication, Design and the Arts, besides traditional fields such as computer science, engineering and psychology 2. opens its physical and digital doors to industry, civic societies and citizens. Join CHItaly either virtually or physically to expand the frontiers of HCI. ================================================ RESEARCH PAPERS AND TOPICS ================================================ The research track of the conference will be hybrid, blending digital and physical frontiers. Contributions to the research track are in the form of either long or short research papers. Long papers present original and substantially new research in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and at the frontiers of HCI. They clearly indicate innovative aspects. Research procedures or technical aspects are presented in sufficient detail to ensure scrutiny and reproducibility. Results are communicated according to scholarly standards, and implications of the contributions/findings for HCI have to be explicitly discussed. Short papers present original and provocative research or novel applications in HCI. Merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance for HCI rather than maturity, extensive technical validation, or research studies. Examples of contributions might include but are not limited to: early-stage frontier research, techniques, technologies or prototypes with or without an in-depth evaluation; a self-contained innovative qualitative study for HCI; the design of novel systems, services or demos for hands-on interaction. Both types of papers are archival publications of original research in the field of HCI, and related to the conference theme and topics. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following ones, divided into traditional topics for HCI and frontier topics, at the intersection with other fields, for the advancement of HCI. Traditional HCI: Theories, Methods, Studies • HCI theories • HCI design and evaluation methods • HCI studies • Interaction processes and models • Collaborative and social computing and HCI • Affective computing and HCI • Accessibility and inclusive HCI Arts, Humanities, Education, Society and HCI • Design & arts and HCI • Humanities and HCI • Cultures, culture production and HCI • Education and HCI • Technology enhanced learning and HCI • Learning analytics and HCI • Values, ethics and HCI • Society and HCI Physical, Digital or Hybrid HCI • Game and gamification-based solutions and HCI • Augmented, virtual or mixed reality and HCI • Smart things, smart ambients or smart cities and HCI • Internet of Things (IoT) and HCI • Physical computing, making or digital fabrication and HCI • Cyber-physical systems, embedded systems and HCI • Tangible design, industrial design or product design and HCI • Mobile, wearable and ubiquitous computing and HCI • Human-robot interaction and HCI • Beyond cobots: assistive or proactive robots and HCI Artificial Intelligence and HCI • AI theories, technologies or tools and HCI • Human-in-the-loop machine/deep learning and HCI • Agent-based systems or multi-agent systems and HCI • Formal methods and HCI • Data analysis, modelling or visualisation and HCI • Business processes and HCI including process analysis, modelling and visualisation • Natural language processing and HCI • Recommendation, personalisation or adaptation and HCI ================================================ FORMAT AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ================================================ For specifications please refer to https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html ================================================ PROCEEDINGS AND JOURNALS ================================================ Accepted manuscripts will be invited for inclusion in the electronic ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS), published in the ACM Digital Library, which is Scopus indexed. Therefore, authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit a camera-ready version in a suitable ACM format for proceedings before the conference. Inclusion in the proceedings is conditional upon submission of the revised manuscript and registration of at least one presenter within the recommended deadlines. After the conference, authors of accepted top-quality papers will be invited, through an open call, to submit extended versions of their papers to special issues in highly ranked international journals. ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES ================================================ February 28, 2021 - Submission deadline April 16, 2021 - Notification to authors May 3, 2021 - Camera ready version July 11th-13th, 2021 - Conference (Deadlines are meant till 11.59 pm CET) ================================================ LONG PAPER CHAIRS ================================================ Rosella Gennari, Informatica, Libera Università di Bolzano, Italy (gennari(a)inf.unibz.it<mailto:gennari@inf.unibz.it>) Maria de Marsico, Università La Sapienza di Roma, Italy (demarsico(a)di.uniroma1.it<mailto:demarsico@di.uniroma1.it>) ================================================ SHORT PAPER CHAIRS ================================================ Alessandra Melonio, Informatica, Libera Università di Bolzano, Italy (alessandra.melonio(a)unibz.it<mailto:alessandra.melonio@unibz.it>) Cristina Gena, Università di Torino, Italy (cristina.gena(a)unito.it<mailto:cristina.gena@unito.it>) ================================================ CHITALY 2021 TRACKS ================================================= This year, CHItaly 2021 has several tracks, besides the track for long and short research papers: • workshops, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/workshops.html • interactive experience, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html • doctoral consortium, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/dc.html • industry event, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/industry_event.html

ACM UMAP 2021: Second Call for Doctoral Consortium

by Oana Inel

— Apologies for cross-posting — ACM UMAP 2021: Second Call for Doctoral Consortium Important Dates • Paper Submission: March 9, 2021 • Notification to authors: March 31, 2021 • Camera ready submission: April 11, 2021 • ACM UMAP 2021 conference: June 21-25, 2021 • ACM UMAP 2021 DC Session: TBD, 2021 Note: The submissions times are 11:59 PM AoE time (Anywhere on Earth) ACM UMAP 2021 is the premier international conference on systems that adapt to users and user models for adaptation. It includes a Doctoral Consortium (DC) Session. The DC provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of distinguished researchers from the field. Doctoral students are invited to apply to present their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. Students are expected to document in a brief submission their doctoral research (see below described submission information for further details), which will be evaluated by the consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a Doctoral Consortium Session as part of the conference. Promising, but less well- developed applications will be selected for presentation at a poster session. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student’s work and will discuss the doctoral research with the student and the audience at the consortium. How to Submit to the Doctoral Consortium To apply for the ACM UMAP 2021 doctoral consortium, students should submit a paper presenting their doctoral research organized under the following headings: • Research Problem. The problem being addressed and a motivation outlining the relevance of the problem; • Related Work. Work already performed by other researchers related to this problem. This should situate your work, showing your knowledge of the relevant previous work and how your work will make a new contribution; • Research Questions and Proposed Approach. The main questions the PhD project aims to answer, contributions it aims to achieve, and the thesis methodology; • Progress to Date and Future Work. The progress made to date (including a clear description of the approach, methodology and preliminary results) as well as the plan for further research. Topics include (but are not limited to) the ACM UMAP 2021 key areas. Each DC submission should cover: identification of related (state of the art) work, indication of the potential innovation, application or advancement of the state-of-the-art that the work intends to achieve. In addition, as appropriate for the PhD project, each submission may cover: indication of data to be used for experimentation, indication of implementation approach, indication of evaluation criteria and experimental design. Each DC paper submission should be accompanied by a cover page that states: the paper title, name of the PhD candidate, the name of his/her supervisor(s) and University, a paragraph describing the stage they are in the PhD programme, together with a brief description of their background. This will enable the committee to adapt its assistance to each student. The DC will be most useful to students who have completed enough of their thesis work to have a solid foundation with a clear topic and literature review but the student should be early enough in their studies to still benefit from guidance and advice. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021 by selecting the “UMAP 2021 Doctoral Consortium” track. Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized before submission. Submissions should be a single pdf document consisting of 1 cover page and the paper (up to 7 pages long + references) in the new ACM single-column style. Papers must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. The templates and instructions are available here: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow . Authors should submit their papers as single-column. The templates are available here (we strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting): • LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column): https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t… • Overleaf (use\documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column): https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-master-… • MS Word: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submissio… NB: Accepted papers will require a further revision in order to meet the requirements and page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the papers will be provided after acceptance. ACM UMAP Proceedings The accepted ACM UMAP 2021 Doctoral Consortium papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings, which will be published by ACM and that will be available via the ACM Digital Library. The main author (doctoral student) must register for the conference and present the paper for the paper to be included in the proceedings. Financial Support ACM UMAP has a history of supporting students to attend. Authors of submissions to the DC will have higher priority for UMAP grant applications.

Among the similarities, a tendency of the individuals to remain in a comfort zone and a general unpreparedness to operate in a full virtual space. Suddenly the two dimensions that characterizes the smart learning ecosystems - physical and virtual - started to be perceived somewhat as antithetical and it came out that the e-maturity of a learning ecosystem is not sufficient to explain and predict its transformation. Many factors concur - processual, social, individual - to determine the technological evolution of learning ecosystems and their smartness. For sure the pandemic has generated a higher awareness about the intrinsic nature of the smart learning ecosystems and it is likely that they will no longer be the same after the pandemic. Some scholars refer to an age characterized by a so-called “new normality”. What should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How “smart learning ecosystems” are already changing? How such changes may be related to the achievement of “a better learning for a better world” as a contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ? How will they contribute to the reduction of inequalities?/ Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts, does not simply means “technology enhanced”. The smartness is a more complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning, especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation. Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they are not a “sine qua non”. The achievement of the learning ecosystems’ smartness is a process that need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen goals. /* *//*Topics of interests*/ can be grouped under three big themes: /*• places for smart education */ * • future of institutional learning • interplay between formal and informal learning • new educational models and settings • continuity-discontinuity of time, technology, place/space, processes in learning • role of, and case studies of, games and gamification in smart education • dual education and other alternate scheme approaches • monitoring and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region) * /*• people in place centered design for smart education*/ * • general frameworks and methodological advances • design, data and other relevant literacies • smart citizen’s literacies, skill and competences • communities and co-design in smart learning • sharing & participatory practices • open access to any resource and disparity • cultural influences * /*• supportive learning technologies for smart education*/ * • intelligent tutoring systems and interfaces • semantic web technologies and applications • text/opinion mining and sentiment analysis • real/virtual communities and social network analysis • interoperability and application of open/smart data and services • safety & security in education • IoT, ubiquitous and wearable technologies • adaptability to educational contexts and citizens • role of VR in education * ========================================================= /*Important dates:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline for papers submission: *March**15, 2021* • Notification to the authors: April 30, 2021 • Camera ready paper: May 15, 2021 • Conference: June 24-25, 2021 ========================================== /*Proceedings:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- *Proceedings*, as for previous editions, will be published by *Springer* in the Series *Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies* <https://www.springer.com/series/8767> that will be indexed by SCOPUS, EI-Compendex and Springerlink.

EICS 2021 Tech Notes CfP

by Davide Spano

[Apologizes for cross-posting] The Tech Notes track focuses on exclusively strong technical engineering contributions. EICS Tech Notes are 6-page papers (excluding the reference list) that focus specifically on system contributions and technical work, including (but not limited to): - Infrastructures and architectures (high-level toolkits, frameworks, networking infrastructures, the big systems picture) - Technical realizations of specific interaction techniques (e.g., sensing & recognition, computer vision implementations, rendering pipelines) - Engineering of physical interactive systems (e.g., toolkits for physical computing or fabrication, hacking or modding of machinery for interactive purposes) - Computational constructs (e.g., optimization methods, mathematical modelling of HCI systems, model-driven UI design) - Specification and verification (e.g. language representations for HCI, formal approaches, optimization methods, semantic models, testing / checking interactive systems) Tech notes can be submitted through the Precision Conference System: <https://new.precisionconference.com/sigchi> https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions Important Dates - Submission deadline: 12/03/2021 - Notifications: 16/04/2021 - Camera-Ready: 30/04/2021 Content Tech Notes is a venue created to elaborate on the technical aspects of research work, which would typically only be a short part of a longer article. The presented research can be related to previous publications, however, the tech note should present additional technical details and reflections that are not covered in the original publication(s). Authors are encouraged to refer to previously published research papers and elaborate on technical components or discuss specific technical implications of their previous work. Tech Notes will be judged on their technical merits and relevance to interactive systems concerns. The focus lies specifically on elucidating technical details of complex interactive systems. Tech Notes require an illustrative example of the system. They do not include formal evaluations or user studies. Format Tech Notes are published as a 6-page paper in the standard ACM SIGCHI format <https://sigchi.org/templates> (excluding references). In line with recent policies by ACM regarding publishing software and data artifacts in the ACM Digital Library (https://www.acm.org/publications/artifacts), authors are strongly encouraged to provide supplemental material. This could include additional diagrams detailing the technical contribution, (online) demos, links to source code repositories, videos, or example applications. We suggest, wherever applicable the paper to be accompanied by a (max) one-minute video presenting the technical contribution. The URL of the video must be mentioned in the paper itself. We also highly encourage authors to share a public repository of their software. Tech Notes Chairs - Anke Dittmar, University of Rostock - Javed Khan, Eindhoven University of Technology technotes2021(a)eics.acm.org Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between Tech Notes, Full Papers and Late-Breaking Results? EICS Tech Notes are not journal articles that describe the full cycle of a research project (concept, implementation, evaluation, reflection), but are focused technical engineering research contributions. Tech Notes do not require a formal evaluation nor an in-depth reflection on related work, but can focus on very specific implementation details that are novel and interesting to the EICS community. Thus, the reflection of the related work should target in clarifying the technical novelty of the Tech Note. EICS Tech Notes do not describe work-in-progress, as they require a novel technical contribution to be finalized and completely described within the space of the Tech Note. They are more similar to a traditional four-page note than to a work-in-progress extended abstract. Late-Breaking Results are intended for eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, that can benefit from discussions with colleagues in the EICS community. Why should I submit an EICS Tech Note? EICS Tech Notes aims to be the primary submission venue for impactful technical engineering work. EICS Tech Notes is a high-quality engineering venue that is complementary to the main research-oriented track at EICS. It shows new and exciting technical work of high relevance to the community. The best Tech Notes will be awarded with the Tech Note Award. EICS Tech Notes provides a platform to publish and present detailed technical engineering aspects of HCI research. We specifically encourage authors of previous papers to elaborate on technical challenges, technical innovations or frameworks / systems / approaches / toolkits / algorithms that enable them to conduct novel HCI research. How are EICS Tech Notes disseminated? EICS Tech Notes get a presentation slot at the conference and will be published as 6-page papers in the ACM Digital Library (excluding the reference list). How are EICS Tech Notes reviewed? EICS Tech Notes will be reviewed by an international committee of leading experts within the technical HCI, engineering and interactive systems communities. Because there is a difference in scope between tech notes, full papers, and late-breaking results, reviewers will use specific criteria to identify high-quality tech notes, including technical novelty, research impact, and the potential to enable new HCI innovations. -- [image: photo] Prof. Lucio Davide Spano Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica Università di Cagliari Via Ospedale 72, 09124, Cagliari, Italy Tel: +39 070 675 8760 | Skype: davide.spano5 Website <http://people.unica.it/davidespano> | RG <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Lucio_Spano> | ORCHID <https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7106-0463>

Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming ECSCW conference in the summer. There are still opportunities to contribute by submitting a short contribution (2000 words max) to the Posters and Demos track until February 22. The European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work is an international venue on practice-centered computing and the design of cooperation technologies. It is a series of conferences on computer-supported cooperative work located in Europe that was established in 1989. The 19th edition of ECSCW will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, from 7th to 11th June 2021. The presentation of posters and demos is a key element of the ECSCW conference. For presenters as well as recipients, the poster & demo session provides a lively environment for getting in touch with late-breaking research, preliminary results, innovative ideas, and early-stage research and design explorations. At a special session during the conference, authors are given the opportunity to showcase their research to interested delegates, as well as to involve them in discussions about their work, exchanging ideas, providing feedback, and sharing work-in-progress relating to CSCW. Posters provide a great opportunity to present preliminary research results and disseminate novel ideas to conference visitors. Posters also offer the space to discuss potential collaborations and the emergent issues in CSCW in an informal manner with the larger ECSCW community. We particularly invite submissions that introduce speculative or provocative ideas that challenge existing epistemologies and methodologies. Demos may be submitted in various forms. These may be interactive research prototypes or products, but also low-fi prototypes, such as paper mock-ups etc. In addition, the demo session will provide space for exhibiting innovative materials that have been developed in the context of the deployment of (user-centered) research methods – for example, innovations in storyboards, personas, and other materials that foster creativity in the design process. How to apply? Both submission categories (posters and demos) require the submission of a short paper (2000 words maximum excl. references, figures, and a 150-word max. abstract) in the PDF format through the EasyChair platform<https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ecscw2021#>. More details about the submission process (incl. templates) can be found at our website https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/posters-demos/ All accepted submissions will be published as short papers in the European Society for Embedded Technologies (EUSSET) digital library http://www.eusset.eu/digital-library Key dates Submission deadline: February, 22 2021, 23:59 AoE Notifications: March 31, 2021 Camera-ready submission: May 11, 2021 Conference: June 7-11, 2021 Attendance As of now, the conference is planned in Zurich, Switzerland from 7th until 11th of June 2021. The final format of the conference is currently under discussion. Remote participation will be possible.

INTERACT 2021 - Deadline extension for Workshop proposals - February 10th

by Davide Spano

Deadline for submitting Workshop proposals has been extended to February 10th. ----------------------- apologies for cross-posting ------------------------ INTERACT 2021 Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2021, Bari, Italy https://interact2021.org <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Finteract2…> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTERACT 2021 is the 18th International Conference promoted by the IFIP Technical Committee 13 on Human–Computer Interaction. INTERACT is held every two years. The theme of INTERACT 2021 is “Sense, Feel, Design”, highlighting new challenges of interaction design. Technology is today more and more widespread, pervasive and blended in the world we live in. On one side, devices that sense humans' activities have the potential to provide an enriched interaction. On the other side, the user experience can be further enhanced by exploiting multisensorial technologies. Not only the traditional human senses of vision and hearing, but also senses of touch, smell, and taste, as well as emotions are to be taken into account when designing for future interactions. INTERACT 2021 is the right venue to debate such new challenges. Another new topic of this edition is Human-AI Interaction, focusing on the design of human-centered intelligent systems. INTERACT workshops provide a one-day or two-day forum for participants to compare their experiences and explore research issues or topics of special interest to the HCI community. Workshop proposal submissions are accepted via PCS by February 10th. Further information on the workshop proposals and workshop organization can be found on the INTERACT 2021 website: https://www.interact2021.org/tracks/workshops.php Workshops will take place on 30 and 31 August 2021, immediately preceding the main conference. INTERACT 2021 will be held in Bari, a beautiful city on the Adriatic coast of Southern Italy. The hotel Villa Romanazzi Carducci will host the conference. With its liberty-period villa immersed in a nice park characterized by a variety of trees along various pathways, this hotel provides a great context for welcoming the INTERACT participants. All precautions to ensure participants’ health safety will be taken. The evolution of the pandemic will be carefully monitored and those who could not travel due to COVID-19 will be allowed to present and participate online to the conference.
