[CfP] AVI 2024 workshop 'Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2024)

by Tommaso Calo'

Call for Papers – Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2024) AVI 2024 Workshop June 3-4 2024 – Arenzano (Genova), Italy More info: https://sites.google.com/view/digi-teens — ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Recently, researchers have been examining the unforeseen issues caused by the excessive use of personal devices and online services, especially as companies increasingly employ "attention-capture" tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users' psychological vulnerabilities, aiming to boost advertising revenue, resulting in tangible repercussions on users' perceived agency and often leading to a perceived lack of control over their technology use. These problems gave rise to a new kind of psychological "digital wellbeing," investigated in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and psychology. Traditional strategies employed by practitioners and researchers involve the creation of Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), i.e., mobile applications and browser extensions that empower users to monitor their usage patterns and implement interventions, such as timers and lock-out mechanisms, to self-regulate device usage. Yet, researchers and the users themselves are starting to warn that achieving digital wellbeing is a path of personal growth that requires education more than self-monitoring strategies. The objective of this workshop is to establish a venue for the academic and industrial communities to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education, aiming to promote the development of strategies and tools to "teach" users – particularly children and teenagers – to use technology more meaningfully and consciously. This objective can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by creating novel DSCTs that include educational aspects, serious games, or collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning at school. This workshop is part of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2024). CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, psychology, design, and/or education to engage in dialog on the topics above. A key priority of our workshop will be to invite submissions from an intellectually diverse and global group of participants to further discussions on how appropriate human-centered design can contribute to digital wellbeing education. Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper (2-4 pages) describing and highlighting their contributions to the workshop topics. The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems; - tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school; - strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing; - novel DSCTs that include educational aspects; - gamification strategies for digital wellbeing; - ethical, social, and political factors. WORKSHOP STRUCTURE This half-day workshop will be interactive and informal. It will combine presentations of accepted position papers with discussions and hands-on sessions, aimed at generating ideas for future research directions. The workshop is planned to be in-person, at the conference. Virtual participation will be made possible. AVI workshops are scheduled for either the 3rd or 4th of June, 2024. Please check back the workshop website soon for the exact dates and scheduling information. SUBMISSIONS Submissions of position papers should be of 2-4 pages, in the ACM Primary Article Submission Templates (single column, https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).

[HWID'2024 Cfp] Human Work Interaction Design Conference

by Angela Locoro

--------------------------------- CfP: Human Work Interaction Design 2024 (HWID'2024) Sustainable Workplaces by Design Università degli Studi di Milano, Milan (Italy) - September 5-6, 2024 Joint conference of the IFIP WG 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design and IFIP WG 13.5 on Human Error, Resilience, Reliability, Safety and System Developmenthttps://hwid2024.unibs.it/hwid2024 --------------------------------- Designing for sustainability extends beyond merely reducing resource consumption and waste. It encompasses environmental, social, and economic dimensions while acknowledging their potential conflicts. Today, designers need to anticipate the impact on future generations, and social equity and justice between workers, while also considering financial performance. It appears clear that focusing solely on individual behaviour change, without considering workplace practices and reaching decision-makers, can only have a limited influence. While interactive systems to support sustainability have been proposed, it is crucial not to overlook the interactive systems used by workers in this endeavor. Beyond being mere tools, automation and AI systems must become work partners collaborating with workers to enhance their performance by taking over repetitive and tedious tasks. However, as these systems increasingly handle high-level cognitive tasks, designing meaningful roles for workers is even more challenging when designers already have to deal with known issues such as complacency, deskilling, monitoring, and takeover performances when automated systems reach their operational limits or fail. Consequently, methods, tools, and processes need to be refined to ensure a positive user experience and identify novel forms of human-automation cooperation for sustainable workplaces. THEME, SCOPE, AND FOCUS The theme of HWID'24 emphasizes the insights into the relationship between the sustainability of workplaces, the anticipatory potentials of design, and how automation and AI may fit the picture. It calls for a workplace design oriented towards sustainability, responsibility, and explainability. Examples of relevant questions include: - What does the very notion of design imply from the point of view of being sustainable, responsible, and explainable, and how can these values be embodied in workplaces? - How to design environment-friendly and humane workplaces? - What individualistic vs collectivistic frictions may emerge from unethical practices, and how can design mitigate them? - How to design workplaces ensuring social equity and well-being when we deal with both biased humans and automated systems? - How to identify, evaluate, and support the new UX interactional patterns between workers and AI and maintain workers' efficiency and well-being? - How can alternative forms of job design (e.g. job crafting) mitigate conflicts between the pursuit of financial profit and the reduction of companies’ impact on the environment? Can automation help? Topics of interest include: - Artificial Intelligence and Intelligence Augmentation in the workplace - Collaborative robots - Virtual Assistants - Digital Twins - Cyber-physical systems - Automation for social equity and well-being - User experience in workplaces and novel forms of human-computer cooperation - Sustainability, Responsibility, and Ethics of Technology in Workplaces This working conference aims to answer these and more questions by involving professionals working in academia, national labs, and industry who are engaged in human work analysis and interaction design for sustainable workplaces. We will discuss tools, procedures, and professional competencies needed to face issues and opportunities provided by workplace design's sustainable and automatization perspectives. IMPORTANT DATES in 2024 Submission deadline: April 21st, 2024 Notification to authors: June 2nd, 2024 Camera ready: June 28th, 2024 Conference: September 5-6, 2024 SUBMISSIONS We invite authors to submit full papers (max 8 pages, excluding references) formatted according to LNCS template available on the Springer website: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… The link to the submission system: https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/HWID2024 Each paper will be reviewed by three reviewers. The collection of all accepted papers will be distributed to the participants as digital proceedings before the conference.

CFP: CoPDA 2024 - 8th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age (co-located with AVI 2024)

by Antonio Piccinno

------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- CoPDA 2024 - 8th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: Differentiating and Deepening the Concept of "End User" in the Digital Age https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2024/ June 3rd or 4th, 2024 - Arenzano (Genoa), Italy In conjunction with AVI 2024 (https://avi2024.dibris.unige.it/home) ------------ Overview ------------ Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and meta-design challenge the understanding of the concept of “end user”. The 8th edition of this workshop aims to critically differentiate, dissect, and deepen the roles, experiences, and demands of end users by inviting contributions from different perspectives. The workshop invites contributions to explore the following fundamental issues: - Re-conceptualizing the multi-faceted roles that end users can play. - Investigating how end users are evolving into active participants in the design and development through frameworks (such as meta-design) that encourage creation, modification, and evolution in individual and group activities. - Understanding the skills and literacies (e.g., computational fluency) that end users need to acquire to be successful contributors (e.g., education, after-school clubs, etc.). - Envisioning future scenarios and possibilities for end user roles and experiences in the context of emerging technologies and cultural changes. - Understanding the design trade-offs associated with balancing the potential value of end-user contributions with the necessary effort to ensure that end users will be motivated to contribute over long periods of time. Participants from academia, industry, and user communities are invited to share their ideas, insights, and experiences to increase our collective understanding and approach towards end users in the digital age. Topics of discussion may include (but will not be limited to): - Analysis of the use and historical development of the concept of “end user” - Can meta-design frameworks facilitate and empower end users in becoming designers, shaping and adapting systems to their needs? - What are the major responsibilities for end users in "end-user development” and/versus "end-user software engineering"? - If computational fluency is widely achieved by humans in the digital age — how will this change the concept of "end user" and “learning with digital tools”? - How can the division between professional developers and end users be designed and supported as collaborative interactions rather than a rigid separation? - How do we scale up user participation from individuals to groups to communities? - In which contexts are end users the drivers of the innovation? - Which other frameworks and environments in AI exist in addition to Large Language Models (LLMs) for supporting end users? - How does the role of end users change in the era of LLMs? - Which additional learning demands occur that empower end users to assess LLM possibilities and limits? - Success stories and failures (e.g., empirical studies) involving or analyzing end users as active participants in sociotechnical systems in different domains (education, workplace, at home, leisure, etc.). ----------------- Submissions ---------------- Authors are invited to submit a 6-page position paper using the 1-column CEUR template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt The papers can be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=copda2024 All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee.
