by Wanling Cai

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * ACM IUI 2024 - Call for Workshops and Tutorials In conjunction with the 29th International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI 2024) Greenville, South Carolina, USA, March 18-21, 2024 https://iui.acm.org/2024/ Workshop and Tutorial Co-Chairs Julia Sheidin, Braude College of Engineering, Israel, julia(a)braude.ac.il<mailto:sheidin.julia@gmail.com> Axel Soto, CONICET and Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina, axel.soto(a)cs.uns.edu.ar<mailto:axel.soto@cs.uns.edu.ar> Eva Zangerle, University of Innsbruck, Austria, eva.zangerle(a)uibk.ac.at<mailto:eva.zangerle@uibk.ac.at> wt2024(a)iui.acm.org<mailto:wt2024@iui.acm.org> Call for Proposals We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference. Tutorials are designed to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent user interfaces, and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Note: We encourage you to contact the chairs with your ideas (wt2024(a)iui.acm.org<mailto:wt2024@iui.acm.org>), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal. We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshop and tutorial formats and activities, including but not limited to: * "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper submission and review processes. * Interactive formats to explore a certain topic during the workshop (e.g., through breakout rooms); such workshops may have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the outcome of the interactive discussions. * "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter review process (e.g. based on abstracts only). * "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to ask participants to submit a position statement. * "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an existing large-scale (e.g. NSF, EU, etc. funded) project. * "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics with individual or team participation. * Tutorials on a specific topic relevant to IUI; for example, methods and approaches in HCI and/or AI, specific techniques or algorithms to develop intelligent user interfaces, etc. We invite submissions of proposals for full-day and half-day workshops or tutorials. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop and tutorial chairs. Workshops with few submissions may be canceled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise restructured. The organizers of accepted workshops and tutorials are responsible for producing a call for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop and tutorial organizers will maintain their own website with information about the workshop or tutorial and the ACM IUI 2024 website will refer to this website. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation, collection, and review process. A workshop and tutorials summary will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2024, and we will separately publish a joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through CEUR or similar). Proposal Format Workshop or tutorial proposals should be a maximum of four pages long (single-column format). Prepare your submission using the latest templates: Word Submission Template<https://authors.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submi…>, or the LaTeX template<https://portalparts.acm.org/hippo/latex_templates/acmart-primary.zip>. The proposals should be organized as follows: * Name and title: A one-word acronym and a full title. Please indicate “(Workshop)” or “(Tutorial)” after the title, as appropriate. * Description of workshop or tutorial topic: This description should discuss the relevance of the suggested topic to IUI and its interest for the IUI 2024 audience. Include a brief discussion of why and for which audience the workshop or tutorial is of particular interest. * Previous history: List of previous workshops or tutorials that were held on the topic including the conferences that hosted past workshops or tutorials and the number of participants. * Organizer(s): Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the organizer(s). Provide a brief description of the background of the organizer(s). Strong proposals normally include organizers who bring differing perspectives on the topic and are actively connected to the communities of potential participants.

An assumption that implies a confrontation between AI, Human-Centered AI and HCD and a reflection on the role of HCD in the AI age. The issue, thus, is not intended to be focalized on the design of user interfaces of systems containing embedded AI features, per se; rather, it is expected to be grounded in research activities involving a broad spectrum of academic disciplines – from computer science to social science – that will critically analyze the interplay between AI, Human-Centered AI and HCD, in order to investigate the impact on individuals, social groups, and society as a whole. In particular this special issue wish to explore the relationship between AI, aimed at replacing human beings, and Intelligence Augmentation (IA), focused on empowering human beings in their daily life and work. Balancing between these two perspectives means changing the research paradigm from traditional human-computer interaction, to designing the collaboration between humans and computers. This will foster creativity, meaningful work, intersubjectivity, and learning, and eventually improve the quality of life of individuals. However, a variety of issues and ethical problems need to be addressed in this new age – e.g., privacy intrusions, massive unemployment, knowledge and competence loss, lack of control, autonomous weapons, new research methods, etc. The guest editors encourage researchers to submit articles that will consider these aspects. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Topics of interest for this special issue include, but not limited to: * AI and Human control: privacy and ethical issues * AI support in everyday work * Collaborative human-centered design * End-User Development for AI-based systems * Empirical evaluation of AI-based systems * Explainable AI through meta design * Human-centred AI * Learning analytics for teachers participation and learning effectiveness * Research methods in Human-Centered AI and Design =========================================== /*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 8-20 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).

by Announce

*** First Call for Workshop Proposals *** 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2024) June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/ (*** Submission Deadline: October 13, 2023 AoE ***) CAiSE is a well-established, highly visible conference series on Advanced Information Systems (IS) Engineering. It covers all relevant topics in the area, including methodologies and approaches for IS engineering, innovative platforms, architectures and technologies, and engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE conferences also have the tradition of hosting workshops in related fields. Workshops are intended to focus on particular topics and provide ample room for discussions of new ideas and developments. CAiSE 2024, the 36th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference, related to the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging topics and targeting innovative papers in special focus areas. Prospective workshop organisers should specify whether they plan an event with a presentation-oriented track, a discussion-oriented track, or both. Presentation-oriented track This track focuses on accepted papers with presentations followed by Q&A sessions, akin to conferences. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to be published in a joint volume in the Springer LNBIP series. Submissions must  conform to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP format and should  not exceed 12 pages. According to the Springer standards, the overall acceptance rate cannot exceed 45%-50%. Discussion-oriented track This track emphasizes discussions facilitated by paper presentations revolving around novel ideas and early-stage research. Since the main criterion for paper acceptance in such workshops is relevance and potential for raising discussion, they are not expected to have their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume. The edition of a joint proceedings volume next to the LNBIP one for the discussion-oriented track is underway. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Details on this aspect will be provided separately. Proposal submission Workshop proposals should be submitted via EasyChair at the following address:  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024  Please select the Author role and the CAiSE 2024 Workshops track. Prior contact with the workshop chairs (caise2024-workshops(a)easychair.org) is encouraged. The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshop, eliciting high-quality submissions, organizing the reviewing process of their workshop’s papers according to the principles and guidelines of CAiSE, and collecting camera-ready copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting rules). Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop. Detailed instructions for workshop proposers The proposal (up to 1000 words) should cover the following points: • Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (3-4 June 2024) • Workshop type (presentation-oriented or discussion-oriented, or both). • Information on the organizers (PC chairs, other organizers who will be present at the workshop or are otherwise involved, including the person responsible for web presence and communication). Please include names, addresses, and affiliations, indicating the main responsible person. The submission should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Please specify at least one PC chair. PC chairs will not be allowed to submit papers to the workshop, but other organizers (who will have no oversight over the review process) are encouraged to do so. • Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list the workshop topics. How does the focus of the workshop differ from the main conference? How does the focus of the workshop differ from other potential CAiSE events? (Proponents are advised to look at the workshops and working conferences held at CAiSE 2022 and CAiSE 2023 and differentiate your scope from theirs.) • Organization of the workshop: Specify the type of contributions, distribution into sessions, type of sessions, etc. Mention if you plan to have any keynote speaker (please note that the conference organization will not cover fees, travel expenses, accommodation and registration costs of keynote speakers). Include any special requirements regarding infrastructure and room layout. • Tentative list of PC members. • An estimate of the number of papers to be accepted, and the number of attendees. If applicable, short information on previous editions of the workshop series (this should include submission, acceptance, and attendance information). Short information on your plans for advertising your workshop and making it highly visible. Services provided by CAiSE • EasyChair installation for the management of the workshop submissions (each organizer will be made chair of their own workshop). • Publication of papers in an LNBIP volume for presentation-oriented tracks, and in a CEUR-WS.org online volume for discussion-oriented tracks. • One free workshop-only registration if more than 10 people are registered for the workshop. Organizers willing to attend the whole event (main conference) will have to register for the conference at their own expense. • Local organizational infrastructure and administrative support (registration, badges, refreshments, beamers, screens, etc.). In particular, all venue issues (rooms, meals and catering, social dinner, etc.) as well as the management of the registrations and the financing/administrative issues will be handled by the CAiSE Organization Board and are not under the responsibility of the workshop organizers. • Advertisement of the workshop on the CAiSE 2024 homepage and mailings. Please note that the workshop may be canceled if the number of registrations is less than 10. Also, in the case of workshops with topics that are similar, two or more workshops may be suggested to merge together. Key Dates • Submission of workshops proposals (via Easychair): October 13th, 2023 • Workshop notifications: November 3rd, 2023 • Workshop paper submission (tentative, recommended for presentation-oriented tracks): March 6th, 2024 • Workshop paper decision (recommended for presentation-oriented tracks): April 3rd, 2024 • Camera-ready due (recommended for presentation-oriented tracks): April 22nd, 2024 • Workshops: June 3rd-4th, 2024 Contact For more information and inquiries, please feel free and welcome to contact the Workshop Chairs at the following address: caise2024-workshops(a)easychair.org

CfP: QUARE 2023 The 2nd workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems, at RecSys '23

by Alessandro Piscopo

* We apologise if you receive multiple copies of this invitation * We welcome you to attend the 2nd Workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems, co-located with RecSys 2023 (https://recsys.acm.org/recsys23/), September 11, 2023, online. WHAT’S QUARE --------------------------------- We invite academics, industry practitioners, designers, developers, and policymakers in all relevant fields (CS, HCI/UX, social science, law) interested in discussing, getting acquainted with, and shaping the research agenda for the evaluation of explanations for recommender systems to participate in the QUARE workshop. The QUARE workshop will be organised as an interdisciplinary, discussion-centric event that aims to outline a research agenda for generating, evaluating, and operationalising explanations. By engaging and bringing together perspectives and solutions from industry and academia, the workshop will thus facilitate the exchange of various perspectives (technical, social, human factors) regarding the generation, evaluation, and operationalisation of explanations for recommender systems. The goal of the workshop is to shape, co-create, and share with the community a research agenda for evaluating the quality of recommendation explanations. More precisely, we address three main questions: * Generating explanations: How to balance user needs and organisational objectives when explaining recommendations? * Evaluating explanations: How to evaluate the quality of explanations through both subjective and objective measures? * Operationalising explanations: What could be a typical MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for explanations of recommendations? What are the most basic features we may need? You can find more information on the workshop’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2023 PROGRAMME --------------------- https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2023/schedule https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2023/panelists This workshop edition features three panel sessions, each panel addressing one of the questions mentioned above. Each session will be opened by a series of lightning talks by the panellists, followed by an interactive discussion, where participants will be able to discuss the topic of the session, asking questions to the panellists, sharing their experiences, and presenting their points of view. The workshop will start at 12:30 UTC and have a duration of approximately 5.5 hours. CONTACT --------------- Email us at quare-workshop at googlegroups.com if you would like to get more information about the workshop and details about how to attend.

*** CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM - MUM 2023*** *Doctoral Consortium Submission Deadline: 9th of October 2023* * We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * *For the online version of this Call, please visit: https://mum-conf.org/2023/index.php?web=doctoral * * MUM 2023, the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia | Vienna, Austria, December 3-6, 2023 * * MUM 2023, the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia, will be held in Vienna, Austria, December 3rd – 6th. MUM is an interdisciplinary forum for advances in research of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems, applications, and services. As part of the Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM) conference, we conduct a joint seminar for PhD students from the various sub-disciplines related to mobile media, ubiquitous computing, and human-computer interaction. The doctoral consortium (DC) will take place on-site on Sunday, Dec 3, 2023, before the main conference. * The DC will be an opportunity for a small group of PhD students to meet and discuss their work with each other and with a panel of experienced researchers in the field, in an informal and interactive setting. We welcome applications from current PhD students studying in any area of relevance to the MUM community. PhD students at any stage of the PhD can apply. Depending on the stage the DC may provide helpful feedback for narrowing down a topic, discussing methodological and technical aspects of the ongoing research, or on the framing and presentation of the results in a thesis. * Submission Guidelines* * To apply for participation in the DC, we ask you to submit a 2-4 pages long paper in Word or LaTeX (using the ACM Primary Article Template)<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/taps-production-…>. The paper should describe the context and motivation of your PhD research, the problem and aims that drive your research and your research objectives, hypothesis, and/or questions. It should further describe and explain your (proposed) research approach and methods, and include a discussion of results you may already have. Please also include the context of your PhD, i.e., the university programme in which you conduct your PhD, the status of your PhD, the expected completion date, and any other relevant information on your PhD situation. * Submissions will not be peer-reviewed. We will select students for participation with a view of prioritising those who would likely benefit most. Accepted students will be asked to prepare a presentation on their PhD research, and a poster which will be included in the MUM 2023 poster track. Submissions must be submitted via e-mail to dc.mum2023(a)hcilab.org<mailto:dc.mum2023@hcilab.org>. For accepted doctoral consortium submissions, the author can select if s/he wants the submission to be included to the conference proceedings. * If you are invited to participate, you must register regularly for the day of the PhD seminar or for the whole conference – or apply to participate free of charge as a student volunteer. Your submission should be 2-4 pages. Please use the template and include the following: * Your name, Advisor(s) name(s), and the university where you are conducting your doctoral work. Submissions should NOT be anonymous. * Current year of study and projected completion date (plus information about the regulations of your PhD program regarding length, any part-time study, etc.) Please address the following questions if applicable for you research: * Which problem do you solve? Why is this problem important? What do you want to find out? * Which steps do you plan to take, and how do you evaluate your results? * Which research papers (not more than 3) are related most to your research? How does your work differ? * What have you found out so far? What’s next? * What’s still missing? Where do you need help? Where would you want to collaborate? *Submissions must be submitted via e-mail to dc.mum2023(a)hcilab.org.<mailto:dc.mum2023@hcilab.org>* *Important Dates* Submission: October 9th, 2023 Decision Notification: October 17th, 2023 Camera-ready Deadline: November 9th, 2023 Conference Dates: December 3rd, 2023 *Doctoral Consortium Chairs* Albrecht Schmidt, LMU Munich Jasmin Niess, University of Oslo All questions about submissions should be emailed to: dc.mum2023(a)hcilab.org<mailto:dc.mum2023@hcilab.org>
