by Catia Prandi

=== ACM GoodIt 2023 Call for Papers === ACM GoodIT 2023 will focus on the application of IT technologies to social good. Social good is typically defined as an action that provides some sort of benefit to the general public. ### Important Dates -> All tracks Submission deadline: May 15th, 2023 -> Notification of acceptance: July 7th, 2023 ### Link http://goodit.campusfc.unibo.it/ ### Scope The ACM GoodIT conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions related to the application of information technologies (IT) to social good. The latter is defined as something that provides a benefit to the general public, such as clean air, clean water, internet access, education, or healthcare. However, new media innovations and the proliferation of online communities have added new meaning to the term. Social good can now reflect global citizens uniting to unlock the potential of individuals, technology, and collaboration towards a positive societal impact. The conference will feature regular and special tracks papers, work-in-progress and PhD papers. ### Papers length * Full papers (main track and special tracks): papers must not exceed twelve (12) single-column pages, excluding references. Papers with a length disproportionate to their contribution will likely be rejected. * Work in Progress Tracks Papers: papers must not exceed eight (8) single-column pages, excluding references. * PhD Tracks Papers: papers must not exceed five (5) single-column pages, excluding references. ### Publication of papers Submitted papers (in each of the special tracks) must be original works and must not have been previously published. They will be peer-reviewed (three reviews). All accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings published in ACM Digital Library. At least one of the authors of all accepted papers must register and present the work in presence at the conference; otherwise, the paper will not be published in the proceedings. _________________________________________ Catia Prandi, PhD.

CFP: HCI-E2: Workshop on HCI Engineering Education @ INTERACT 2023

by Davide Spano

------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- HCI-E2: Workshop on HCI Engineering Education http://ui-engineering.org/activities/hci-engineering-education-2023/ In conjunction with INTERACT 2023 York 28 August - 1 September 2023 https://interact2023.org ---------------- Overview ---------------- The workshop aims at carrying forward work on identifying, examining, structuring, and sharing educational resources and approaches to support the process of teaching/learning Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Engineering. The widening range of available interaction technologies and their applications in increasingly varied contexts (private or professional) underlines the importance of teaching HCI Engineering but also the difficulty of taking into account changes and developments in this field in often static university curricula. Besides, as these technologies are taught in diverse curricula (ranging from Human Factors and Psychology to hardcore Computer Science), we are interested in what the best approaches and best practices are to integrate HCI Engineering topics in the curricula of programs in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Human-computer Interaction, Psychology, Design, etc. ----------------- Scope ----------------- Engineering interactive systems is a multidisciplinary endeavour positioned at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Software Engineering, Usability Engineering, Interaction Design, Visual Design, and other disciplines. The Human-Computer Interaction Engineering (HCI-E) field is concerned with providing methods, techniques, and tools for the systematic and effective design, development, testing, evaluation, and deployment of interactive systems in a wide range of application domains. HCI techniques, methods and tools, as well as many other novel forms of interaction, involve aspects that need to be adequately addressed in the curricula of programs in HCI, Software Engineering and Computer Science. This begs the question of how best to address these topics in those curricula, and what the best approaches to address them are. When considering education about HCI Engineering, we need to think about who is being educated as there is likely to be different curriculum scope and educational methods for different types of learners. There are two main distinctions likely influencing these methods: - Technical vs non-technical. Students in Computer Science and similar areas are likely to be the main consumers of detailed HCI-E education. However, the creation of interactive applications “requires input from science, engineering and design disciplines” and multidisciplinary teamwork requires from participants an increased understanding and appreciation for other disciplines. It is also important for those who are likely to have a more interface design or user research role to able to appreciate the limits of technology and the potential impacts of architectural design choices. - Student vs practitioner. It is likely that the primary interest of many participants will be university education. However, developers are often involved in lively online discussions about different frameworks, and even in the use of monads in interactive JavaScript. Interaction Design Foundation courses attract tens of thousands of UX practitioners worldwide, evidencing the desire of on-the-job learning in both communities. ----------------- Audience ----------------- We would like to bring together experiences from people teaching HCI concepts impacting how we engineer interactive systems and from people working in HCI-E to identify topics and methods that should be included in teaching this subject. Besides the courses in HCI-E, interesting inputs may arrive from HCI courses outside the CS curriculum requiring to communicate engineering challenges, or from more general software engineering courses discussing aspects related to human factors. Hence, we will solicit contributions from the HCI-E-related communities, and we will be very interested in welcoming members of the educational community, for a fruitful discussion. ----------------- Goals ----------------- We identify two types of potential outcomes that could define the group activities during the workshop: Educational resources – One goal is to create a repository of educational resources for HCI-E including cases studies, projects and exercises. These educational resources need to be described in a common structure. The definition of this structure was started at the previous workshop. A goal of the workshop will be to extend and consolidate this structure as well as to describe these resources according to this structure. HCI-E Education Roadmap – Edited volume: Depending on the quality of the submissions and the workshop results, revised versions of the contributions will be published on an edited volume. Alternatively, we will produce a journal paper summarizing and consolidating the contributions, in the form of an HCI Engineering Education roadmap. ----------------- Submissions ----------------- Position papers (6-10 pages in Springer format) must report experiences related to HCI Engineering education. Submissions could report software engineering units including some aspects of HCI-E, curricula or teaching units dedicated to HCI-E, case studies/projects demonstrating aspects of HCI-E, evaluation of students’ skills related to HCI-E, training non-technical and mixed students in HCI-E, training appropriate aspects of HCI-E to professionals/practitioners, a new teaching modality promising for teaching HCI-E, introducing HCI-E into existing curricula, etc. Authors could also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and their motivation to participate in this workshop. ----------------- Important Dates ----------------- Submission deadline: May 15th, 2023 Notification deadline: June 15th, 2023 Workshop: to be announced Deadlines are AoE. ----------------- Organizers ----------------- José C.

Call for papers - VL/HCC 2023 - abstracts due April 21 - IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing

by Rebecca Krosnick

VL/HCC 2023: IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2023 **Call for Research Papers** IMPORTANT DATES - Abstracts only: April 21, 2023 - Submission deadline: April 28, 2023 - Rebuttal phase: June 5 - 9, 2023 - Notification: June 23, 2023 - Camera-ready: July 14, 2023 The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing is the premier international forum for research on this topic. Established in 1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory, application, and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling, and communicating, which are easier to learn, use, and understand by people. The 2023 symposium is scheduled to take place October 2-6 in Washington, DC, USA. VL/HCC 2023 is 100% Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (TCMC). SCOPE AND TOPICS We solicit original, unpublished research papers on computing technologies for modeling, programming, communicating, and reasoning, which are easier to learn, use or understand by humans than the current state-of-the-art. Papers should focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate those technologies and languages. This includes technologies intended for general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public) or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people working in business administration, production environments, healthcare, urban design or scientific domains). Empirical papers that validate current proposed solutions with rigorous scientific means (i.e., empirical studies, controlled experiments, rigorous case studies, etc.) are also welcome. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Visual languages: Novel visual languages, Design, evaluation, and theory of visual languages and applications, Development of systems for manipulating and interacting with diagrammatic representations - Human aspects and psychology of software development and language design, such as supporting inclusion and diversity in programming - End-user development: End-user development, adaptation and programming, Creation and evaluation of technologies and infrastructures for end-user development - Crowdsourcing design and development work - Representations: Novel representations and user interfaces for expressing computation, Software, algorithm and data visualization - Modeling: Model-driven development, Domain-specific languages, including modeling languages, Visual modeling of human behavior and socio-technical systems - Thinking more deeply about code: Computational thinking and Computer Science education, Debugging and program understanding, Explainable ML/AI If you are not sure if your paper is a good fit for VL/HCC, feel free to email the PC Co-chairs (see “Contact” below). We welcome those new to the VL/HCC community to submit! SPECIAL EMPHASIS FOR 2023: Low-Code / No-Code Development This year’s special topic is “Low-Code / No-Code Development”. This development paradigm enables the creation and deployment of fully functional applications using visual abstractions and interfaces and requiring little or no procedural code. This way, users are empowered to create software applications for constrained domains, even if they lack a programming background. This year, we especially welcome papers at VL/HCC that design, build, or evaluate any aspects of low-code and no-code solutions. PAPER SUBMISSIONS We invite two kinds of papers: - full-length research papers, up to 8 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements - short research papers, up to 4 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements Papers must be submitted using the IEEE two-column conference paper format. Be sure to use the current IEEE conference paper format (which was updated in 2019), and to select the “US letter” template: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2023). To facilitate the assigning of papers to reviewers, we require paper abstracts to be submitted via EasyChair at least 1 week prior to the paper submission deadline (see Important Dates below). The abstract must be kept up to date such that it matches exactly the abstract in the submitted paper. The abstract must be no longer than 250 words. All accepted papers, whether full or short, should be complete, self-contained, archival contributions. Contributions from full papers are more extensive than those from short papers. Note that some full paper submissions may be accepted as short papers if reviewers deem contributions to be comparable in size to a short paper. Work-in-progress, which has not yet yielded an archival contribution, should be submitted to the Posters/Showpieces category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee in a double-blind review process. Authors will then receive the reviews for their submissions and will be able to answer them in a rebuttal phase. Only after this step the PC will make a final decision about the acceptance of the submissions. Submissions and reviews for the technical program are managed with EasyChair. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for VL/HCC 2023 and present the paper at the conference. There will be a virtual presentation option in case of travel restrictions. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference. The proceedings of IEEE VL/HCC are published in digital form by the IEEE Computer Science Society and archived in the IEEE Digital Library with an official ISBN number. Accepted papers will be available to conference attendees via the IEEE Open Preview program in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/). DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING We follow a double-blind reviewing process. Both authors and reviewers are expected to make every effort to honor the double-blind reviewing process. In case of questions, please contact the Program Chairs. Authors should ensure that the submission can be evaluated without it being obvious who wrote the paper. This means leaving author names off the paper and using terms like “previous research” rather than “our previous research” when describing background. However, do not hide previous work – papers must still reference all relevant research using full (non-anonymized) citations, including the author’s own prior work, so that reviewers can evaluate novelty. Please reference your own prior work in the third-person just like you would do for any other related work (e.g., avoid “As described in our previous work [10], … ” and instead write something like “As described by [10], …”). It is also important that authors specify all conflicts of interest with potential reviewers during the submission phase. Reviewers should not undertake any investigation that might lead to the revealing of authors’ identity. If identities are inadvertently revealed, please contact the Program Chairs. The Program Chairs will check all submissions for obvious signs of lack of anonymity and may ask authors to make changes and resubmit the paper within three days of the submission deadline. Only changes to resolve anonymity issues will be permitted. EVALUATION AND JUSTIFICATION Papers are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence. For example, a paper that claims to improve programmer productivity is expected to demonstrate improved productivity; a paper that claims to be easier to use should demonstrate increased ease of use. However, not all claims necessarily need to be supported with empirical evidence or studies with people. For example, a paper that claims to make something feasible that was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim through the existence of a functioning prototype. Moreover, there are many alternatives to empirical evidence that may be appropriate for justifying claims, including analytical methods, formal arguments or case studies. Given this criterion, we encourage potential authors to think carefully about what claims their submission makes and what evidence would adequately support these claims. In addition, we expect short papers to have less comprehensive evaluation than long papers.

CFP: CoPDA 2023 - 7th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age

by Daniela Fogli

------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- CoPDA 2023 - 7th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: Artificial and/or Human Intelligence: Nurturing Computational Fluency in the Digital Age https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2023/ June 6th, 2023 - Cagliari, Italy In conjunction with IS-EUD 2023 (https://cg3hci.dmi.unica.it/iseud2023/) ------------ Overview ------------ In the Middle Ages, most people were dependent on “scribes”, who helped them to write down their thoughts, ideas, and stories, as well as to read the material written by other people. Many people today are in the same situation concerning digital media: they are unable to express themselves, explore problem spaces, and appropriate tools, and act as designers in personally meaningful activities. They must rely on “high-tech scribes”. This 7th edition of the CoPDA workshop series will explore new conceptual frameworks and innovative computational environments for supporting computational fluency allowing people to become independent of “high-tech scribes”. The workshop will be in continuity with the edition held in 2022 in Frascati (Rome) focused on the relationship between AI and Human-Centered Design. An important challenge for the researchers getting together in the workshop this year will be to explore the foundational idea(s) that these workshops have pursued and how they are related to each other. A particular objective of all previous CoPDA workshops has been to collectively identify important and interesting themes for future workshops and our hope and expectation is that this will happen again this year by exploring conceptual frameworks and socio-technical environments making Computational Fluency a desirable and reachable goal for all citizens. A student who has proficient skills in computational fluency would be able to use strategies together with the facts he or she knows how to identify a more challenging problem or another representation of the solution. This is a step beyond Digital Literacy, which focuses on mastering the tool in use (e.g.: keyboarding, surfing the internet, proficiency with digital environments for reading, writing, calculating, and communication), and beyond Computational Literacy, which focuses on solving known problems in efficient ways, including the use of coding. Digital Literacy and Computational Literacy (at least some parts) are a prerequisite for Computational Fluency, which emphasizes pursuing personal meaningful problems and shared meaningful activities. Computational Fluency shows mastery and appropriation of computational concepts by allowing one to address new and wicked problems in a creative manner. These abilities cannot be formally taught but can be nurtured, encouraged, and supported with socio-technical environments and education programs that foster reflection, creativity, and sharing. The workshop aims to discuss Computational Fluency in the Digital Age by considering several topics including (but not limited to): - Computational Thinking - Design Thinking - Printed Fluency - Digital Fluency - Human-centered AI (HCAI) - Explainability of AI-based decisions - Evaluation of AI-based systems - AI support in everyday work - ChatGPT: Promises and Pitfalls - Big data and privacy - Adaptive, Adaptable, and Context-Aware Systems - End-User Development and Meta-Design - End-User Development for AI-based systems - Design Trade-offs between AI and EUD - Distributed cognition - Cultures of participation - Multi-dimensional aspects of learning - Collaborative learning - Educational nurturing ---------------- 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=copda2023 All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be collected and submitted for publication on CEUR-WS proceedings. -------------------- Important dates -------------------- - Apr 23rd, 2023: Submission deadline - May 4th, 2023: Notification of acceptance - May 15th, 2023: Camera ready - Jun 6th, 2023: CoPDA 2023 workshop ----------------------------- Organizing Committee ------------------------------ Barbara Rita Barricelli (Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy) Gerhard Fischer (University of Colorado, Boulder, USA) Daniela Fogli (Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy) Anders Mørch (University of Oslo, Norway) Antonio Piccinno (Università degli Studi di Bari, Italy) Stefano Valtolina (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy) For any further information, please contact copda2023(a)easychair.org -- Informativa sulla Privacy: https://www.unibs.it/it/node/1452 <https://www.unibs.it/it/node/1452>

Call For Papers - PATCH 2023: International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage

by Noemi Mauro

CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH 2023) Held in conjunction with ACM UMAP 2023 - Limassol, Cyprus. https://patch2023.di.unito.it/index.html Important dates: April 20, 2023: paper submission May 8, 2023: notification to authors May 18, 2023: camera-ready due The workshop will be in person. However, in very exceptional circumstances we might accept a remote participation, to be discussed with us at paper submission time. Abstract and Topics Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2023 will again be the meeting point between state-of-the-art cultural heritage (CH) research and personalization research. Focused on those using different types of technology, with emphasis on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, used to enhance the personal experience in CH sites. The workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are working on various aspects of CH and are interested in exploring the potential of state-of-the-art mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance the CH visiting experience. The expected result of the workshop is a multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research directions and, hopefully, forge some research collaborations. Motivation Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a primary area for personalization research. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing to experience and learn new things, with expectations but possibly without a clear idea of what they will find there. The Museum Experience Revisited, by John Falk and Lynn Dierking (2013), argues that the visitor’s experience is constructed by the intertwining of the personal, the social, and the physical context. The experience begins before the visit, when one starts to think about it, and lasts well after leaving the building. Indeed CH is rich in objects and information and offers much more than the visitor can absorb during their limited time in situ. Hence, visitors may benefit from individualized support that takes into account contextual and personal attributes. We invite cultural heritage professionals and researchers to join us to discuss findings and trends on personalisation of cultural heritage in the broadest sense, from online and remote cultural access to onsite visit, from individuals to groups, from tangible to virtual and robotic mediation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Adaptive navigation and personalized browsing in digital and physical cultural heritage collections and in CH sites - Ambient Cultural Heritage - Personalization for group of visitors to CH sites - Personalization for collective CH information authoring and management - Creativity and collaboration support in CH - Personalized mobile museum guides & personal museum assistants - Personalization by Citizen Curation - Recommendation strategies for CH - Adaptation strategies for text and non-verbal content in CH - NLG techniques and conversational agents for CH - (User Interaction with) Integration of virtual and physical collections - Analysis of behavior patterns to improve CH recommendation - Personalization across the whole of a person's digital ecosystem (including CH) - Long-term personalization in CH - IoT and Cultural Heritage - Human-Robots adaptation in museums - 3D, Virtual and Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage - Context-aware information presentation in CH - Interactive user interfaces for CH applications - Use of personality for guiding Cultural Heritage Experiences - Participatory CH including multiple viewpoints and perspectives - Community mapping for CH information sharing - Multiple viewpoints and perspectives for CH - Remote access to CH - Personalized support to the exploration of Cultural and Natural Heritage Submissions Full papers: up to 14 pages excluding references. Short papers/Position papers/Demo papers: up to 7 pages excluding references. Papers that exceed the page limits or formatting guidelines will be returned without review. Submissions should be single-blinded, i.e., authors’ names should be included in the submissions. Papers must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. The templates and instructions are available here: https://patch2023.di.unito.it/submission.html . All papers should be submitted in PDF format via the online submission system by selecting the track "The 14th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH 2023)": https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23 . An international panel of experts will review all submissions. Work that has already been published should not be submitted unless it introduces a significant addition to the previously published work. There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all the workshop papers will be published.
