CFP: AISB Convention 2023

by Grasso, Floriana

With apologies for cross postings - deadline March 6th AISB Convention 2023 13-14 April 2023 Swansea, Wales, UK The AISB Convention is a flourishing annual conference that thrives from an interdisciplinary audience and facilitates discourse amongst a diverse set of researchers and research cultures. Attendance will be free for AISB members. The 2023 convention of the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) will be held as a hybrid in-person and online event 13-14 April 2023. The convention will consist of several tracks based on popular symposia of previous AISB conventions instead of separately organised symposia. This decision was made to streamline the processes involved in organising the convention in the context of reduced timeframes due to COVID-19 disruptions from the past years and the longer-term changes this has brought about for the reseach community. In addition to the thematic tracks, we will run a general track that can accommodate papers on any topic related to AI. Each track acts like a mini conference with its own chair and programme committee. Please see below for a list of tracks for 2023. AI & Games (AIG) This track focuses on the application of artificial intelligence or intelligent-like techniques, frameworks and theories to the creation of intelligent games. AI can be used in any manner suitable in the game, from the algorithm to making the game more engaging, personalised, and/or interactive. The following non-exhaustive list of research and practice shows potential submission topics: * Use of AI techniques (e.g. planning, learning, evolution etc.) * Design and engineering of AI components * Procedural content generation * Intelligent or adaptive player interaction * Game analytics * Data-driven player modelling * Agent decision making systems * Intelligent agents * Environmental simulations * Interactive narrative generation * Intelligent narrative technologies * Experimental AI * Serious games & gamification AI Ethics (AIE) Recent years have seen an increased awareness of ethical issues stemming from a lack of responsibility in the design and deployment of AI- and data-driven technology systems. This track explores solutions to these issues. Some topics of interest: * Algorithmic fairness * Diversity * Data governance * Accountability * Data privacy * AI ethics principles * Implementing ethical reasoning * AI regulation * Explainable AI Computational Creativity (CC) Computational creativity is continuing to attract researchers from both arts and science backgrounds. Philosophers, cognitive psychologists, computer scientists and artists have all contributed to and enriched the literature. Many argue a machine is creative if it simulates or replicates human creativity (e.g. evaluation of AI systems via a Turing-style test), while others have conceived of computational creativity as an inherently different discipline, where computer generated (art)work should not be judged on the same terms, i.e. being necessarily producible by a human artist, or having similar attributes, etc. More general topics of interest for this symposium include, but are not limited to: * Novel systems and theories in computational creativity, in any domain, e.g. drawing and painting, music, storytelling, poetry, conversation, games, etc. * The evaluation of computational creative systems, processes and artefacts * Theory of computational aesthetics * Representational issues in creativity, including visual and perceptual representations * Social aspects of computational creativity, and intellectual property issues * Creative autonomy and constraint * Computational appreciation of artefacts, including human artwork Philosophy & AI (AIP) With its origins in the Philosophy after AI symposium from previous AISB Conventions, this track sets out to investigate the philosophical and linguistic perspectives of the research paths which deal with language as it is conceived by AI. Contributions to a general philosophical discourse on AI are also welcome. We invite talks on the following (but not exclusively) topics: * Linguistics and AI; * AI research on language; * Learning, creativity and AI; * Meaning and AI; * Creativity, machine-learning and language; * Robots and communication; * Truth, post-truth and AI; * Social media, devices and human sociality. General Track (GT) This track accommodates AI research that does not align with any of the other special tracks. Possible topics include: * Agents and multi-agent systems * Agent-based social simulation * Verification of AI systems * Combining learning and reasoning * Argumentation * AI & cyber security * Natural language processing * Knowledge representation Submission Submissions to any of the tracks are in the form of extended abstracts and are subject to peer review. Proceedings will then accommodate final papers as short or regular papers. These are limited to the following page restrictions. * Extended abstract (max. 2 pages) * Short paper (max. 4 pages) * Regular paper (max. 8 pages) Page limits include references. Please use Springer Nature LaTeX or Word templates to prepare your papers. Web site and submission links will be available from mid-January 2023. Please use the following submission links: * AISB - AI & Games 2023: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aisbaig2023 * AISB - AI Ethics 2023: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aisbaie2023 * AISB - Philosophy & AI 2023: Please email your submission to aip2023(a)aisb.org.uk * AISB - Computational Creativity 2023: Please email your submission to cc2023(a)aisb.org.uk * AISB - General Track 2023: Please email your submission to gt2023(a)aisb.org.uk Important Dates * Submission: 6 March 2023 * Notification of acceptance: 27 March 2023 * Camera-ready paper: 3 April 2023 Program Committee General Chair: Bertie Müller (Swansea University) Track Chairs: * AISB - AI & Games 2023: Swen Gaudl (University of Plymouth, UK) * AISB - AI Ethics 2023: Bertie Müller (Swansea University, UK) * AISB - Philosophy & AI 2023: Giusy Gallo (Università della Calabria, Italy), Claudia Stancati (Università della Calabria, Italy) * AISB - Computational Creativity 2023: Jiaxiang Zhang (Swansea University, UK) * AISB - General Track 2023: Floriana Grasso (University of Liverpool, UK)

by Giuseppe Caggianese

****** One Week Left ****** Call for Papers Special Session on "eXtended Reality as a gateway to the Metaverse: Practices, Theories, Technologies and Applications" Abstract (1-2 pages) or alternatively, a Graphical Abstract by March 15, 2023 ********************************* Dear Colleagues, a friendly reminder that there is only one week left to contribute with an Abstract (1-2 pages) or a Graphical Abstract to the Special Session on “eXtended Reality as a gateway to the Metaverse: Practices, Theories, Technologies and Applications” - IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023) - October 25-27, 2023 - Milan - https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17. After the abstract submission, you will have time until April 30 to finalize your contribution. Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might be interested in contributing to this special session. Visit the conference website for further and updated information https://metroxraine.org/. I'm looking forward to meeting you, virtually or in your presence, at IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023. Best wishes, Giuseppe Caggianese Giuseppe Caggianese, Ph.D. ------------------------------------------------------------- Research Scientist National Research Council (CNR) Institute for High-Performance Computing and Networking (ICAR) Via Pietro Castellino 111, 80131, Naples, Italy Telefono: +39 0816139227 Mobile: +39 3371588044 Skype: giuseppe.caggianese Email: giuseppe.caggianese(a)cnr.it ==================================================================================== Call for Papers - Special Session on: “EXTENDED REALITY AS A GATEWAY TO THE METAVERSE: PRACTICES, THEORIES, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS” https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023) https://metroxraine.org/ October 25-27, 2023 - Milan, Italy. ==================================================================================== 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. More information can be found here: https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 TOPICS ---------- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Hardware/Software Architectures for metaverse - Decentralized and Collaborative Architectures for metaverse - Interoperability for metaverse - Tools to help creators to build the metaverse - Operations and Maintenance in metaverse - Data security and privacy mechanisms for metaverse - Cryptocurrency, token, NFT Solutions for metaverse - Fraud-Detection in metaverse - Cyber Security for metaverse - Data Analytics to Identify Malicious Behaviors in metaverse - Blockchain/AI technologies in metaverse - Emerging Technologies and Applications for metaverse - New models to evaluate the impact of the metaverse - Interactive Data Exploration and Presentation in metaverse - Human-Computer Interaction for metaverse - Human factors issues related to metaverse - Proof-of-Concept in Metaverse: Experimental Prototyping and Testbeds IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ Abstract Submission Deadline: March 15, 2023. **NOTE that the abstract should be 1 - 2 pages.

These technologies—mobile computing, AR and VR, interactive IoTs, tangible interfaces, and responsive architectures—are increasingly shaping our daily experiences in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and cities. We call these physical-digital spaces Hybrid Environments . As these technologies continue to transform the way we live, many new opportunities emerge for design education and practice. Within higher education, more and more programs aim to cross-train designers, architects, creative technologists, and artists to operate in these emerging terrains. This is a complex pedagogical practice. Designing for Hybrid Environments requires knowledge and training in the design of both physical environments and interactive technologies. Solutions cut across, and often operate at multiple, scales: from the object to the room, from the neighborhood to the city. Consequently, the design of good physical-digital spaces must often bridge fundamental knowledge in design, architecture, art, interactivity, and computation. How are we meeting this emergent need? How do we educate cross-trained students to creatively respond and adapt to these complex design spaces? In this special issue, we invite design educators to share their pedagogies, frameworks, and tools for crafting next-generation physical-digital spaces. We hope to gather, reflect, and share valuable examples and instructional practices so that we might learn from one another and critically examine how to teach students to design Hybrid Environments. Ultimately, we seek to form a common understanding and begin building the foundations for design education in this emerging field. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue devoted to Design Education for Hybrid Environments includes, but is not limited to: • Teaching for and within VR, AR, and XR technologies. • Teaching for interactive IoT, spatial computing, ambient media, and responsive architecture. • CAD and CAM tools to help conceive, represent, prototype, and test Hybrid Environments. • Theoretical frameworks and representational techniques to navigating scales of design —from the object to the room, from the neighborhood to the city. • Cognitive approaches to explain and study reasoning, conceiving, and building Hybrid Environments. • Post-Pandemic Hybrid Environments, including telepresence, distributed spaces, and the temporality of experience. • Assessment and performance methods, including pilot studies, curricula, or cases of evaluating Hybrid Environments design and instruction. • Instructional experiences resilient to rapid change in technology infrastructures and toolsets. • Research methods supporting the design process and evaluation of Hybrid Environments. =========================================== /*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.

Ital-IA ha l'ambizione di "fare rete nazionale" tra tutte le azioni che si stanno disegnando in questi mesi in Italia per cogliere le potenzialità di sviluppo legate alle tecnologie dell'Intelligenza Artificiale. Il convegno è organizzato dal Laboratorio Nazionale "Artificial Intelligence ed Intelligent Systems" (AIIS), creato dal CINI (Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per l'Informatica). Il Laboratorio è stato creato nel Giugno 2018 con il sostegno del Dipartimento di Informazione e Sicurezza della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri (come indicato nel recente rapporto del DIS "Relazione sulla Politica dell’Informazione per La Sicurezza 2018") per sviluppare obiettivi comuni tra istituzioni pubbliche, industria italiana e la ricerca scientifica delle università e dei centri di ricerca nazionali. Il laboratorio conta oggi 57 nodi che includono quasi tutti gli Atenei Italiani oltre a CNR, FBK e IIT. For any information: marco.polignano(a)uniba.it ========= ABSTRACT ========= La rapida evoluzione dell'Intelligenza artificiale dell'ultimo decennio ha spinto la ricerca verso lo sviluppo di tecnologie sempre più sofisticate e accurate basate su enormi quantità di dati. Tali sistemi si sono dimostrati un ottimo strumento per supportare processi volti alla sostenibilità Ambientale, Economica e Sociale sia lato produttivo che lato di ricerca grazie alla loro eccezionale capacità di comprensione dei dati (strutturati e non), pianificazione e reasoning. In questo workshop si vogliono discutere quei sistemi di AI in grado di agire in tale ambito ed aiutare aziende e università ad affrontare i temi della sostenibilità ed efficienza. E' difatti prerogativa dell'Unione Europea rendere possibile il transitare quanto prima verso soluzioni produttive sostenibili, efficienti e attente al benessere dell'ambiente e dei lavoratori. Tuttavia gli stessi modelli di Intelligenza Artificiale possono essere estremamente energivori e poco attenti alla sostenibilità, sopratutto ambientale (eg. basti pensare ai grandi modelli di comprensione del testo proposti dalle grandi multinazionali). Pertanto oggetto del workshop è anche il tema della sostenibilità dei modelli di AI e alla possibilità di renderli meno impattanti e più efficienti. ====== TOPICS ====== Gli argomenti di interesse del workshop sono (ma non limitati a): • AI e metodi di data mining per la valutazione automatica e il ranking di valori di sostenibilità sociale, economica e ambientale; • Risorse e strategie di valutazione per le strategie di sostenibilità sociale, economica e ambientale; • Tecnologie basate su AI per il monitoraggio e la valutazione di diversi aspetti delle procedure di mantenimento della sostenibilità sociale, economica e ambientale (ma non limitati a), impronta di carbonio, diversità e inclusione, equo commercio, giustizia sociale, impatto ambientale, ecc.; • Rilevamento automatico e prevenzione dei rischi legati alla non sostenibilità di processi ed attività sia come obblighi nazionali ed internazionali che di gestione del rischio riferiti (ma non limitati a), farmacovigilanza, sicurezza alimentare, disuguaglianza ed esclusione, mobbing sul lavoro, fake o contenuti imprecisi, stereotipi etnici e altri linguaggi insensibili; • Approcci di AI e tecnologie di NLP per interpretare e modellare il posizionamento e la percezione del livello di sostenibilità sociale, economica e ambientale; • Modellazione di correlazioni tra le politiche, le azioni e le dichiarazioni sulla sostenibilità di un'azienda con il pubblico; • Estrazione, annotazione e integrazione dati, inclusi report aziendali, studi di impatto ambientale, reclami dei consumatori, registrazioni delle donazioni relative alle azioni volte alla sostenibilità, problemi, registrazioni di violazioni e sanzioni relative a questioni di sostenibilità, notizie e dati dei social media; • Adattamento e sinergia di approcci e soluzioni di AI e sostenibilità; • Modelli di AI sostenibili ed efficienti. ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ I contributi dovranno essere caricati, entro il 19 Marzo 2023, al seguente link: https://www.ital-ia2023.it/submission/insert selezionando come topic lo workshop cui si intende sottomettere. * I contributi devono avere valenza tecnica e scientifica, e devono preferibilmente riferirsi a progetti in corso o avere un taglio applicativo in relazione al workshop. * I contributi, la presentazione ed il poster possono essere redatti sia in lingua italiana che inglese. * I contributi devono essere di almeno 2 e di massimo 6 pagine (incluso References) e devono essere redatti seguendo uno dei template (LaTeX o Word) disponibili ai seguenti URL: o Latex:https://www.ital-ia2023.it/static/frontend/ital-ia2023.zipo come template Overleafhttps://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/ital-ia-2023-template/hqdd… o Word:https://www.ital-ia2023.it/static/frontend/ital-ia2023_docx.zip In particolare, si richiede di utilizzare: + il file sample.tex o Template.docx nel caso acconsentiate alla pubblicazione su CEUR-WS.org e il vostro contributo sia in inglese e di almeno 5 pagine + il file sample_NOPUB.tex o Template_NOPUB.docx nel caso non acconsentiate alla pubblicazione su CEUR-WS.org *Ogni contributo dovrà essere coperto da almeno una registrazione all'evento.* Tutti i contributi accettati per la presentazione saranno resi disponibili sul sito della conferenza con licenza Creative Commons License Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

A Friendly Reminder - Call for Paper - Abstract (1-2 pages) by March 15, 2023.

by Giuseppe Caggianese

Dear Colleagues, a friendly reminder to contribute with an Abstract (1-2 pages) to the special session on “eXtended Reality as a gateway to the Metaverse: Practices, Theories, Technologies and Applications” in the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023) that will be held on October 25-27, 2023 in Milan. https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might be interested in contributing to this special session. Visit the conference website for further and updated information https://metroxraine.org/. I'm looking forward to meeting you, virtually or in your presence, at IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023. Best wishes, Giuseppe Caggianese ==================================================================================== Call for Papers - Special Session on: “EXTENDED REALITY AS A GATEWAY TO THE METAVERSE: PRACTICES, THEORIES, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS” https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023) https://metroxraine.org/ October 25-27, 2023 - Milan, Italy. ==================================================================================== 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. More information can be found here: https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 TOPICS ---------- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Hardware/Software Architectures for metaverse - Decentralized and Collaborative Architectures for metaverse - Interoperability for metaverse - Tools to help creators to build the metaverse - Operations and Maintenance in metaverse - Data security and privacy mechanisms for metaverse - Cryptocurrency, token, NFT Solutions for metaverse - Fraud-Detection in metaverse - Cyber Security for metaverse - Data Analytics to Identify Malicious Behaviors in metaverse - Blockchain/AI technologies in metaverse - Emerging Technologies and Applications for metaverse - New models to evaluate the impact of the metaverse - Interactive Data Exploration and Presentation in metaverse - Human-Computer Interaction for metaverse - Human factors issues related to metaverse - Proof-of-Concept in Metaverse: Experimental Prototyping and Testbeds IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ Abstract Submission Deadline: March 15, 2023. **NOTE that the abstract should be 1 - 2 pages.
