Persuasive and behavior change recommender systems are intentionally designed to provide users with suggestions on how to modify their behavior, habits, beliefs and opinions. Research in this area has advanced over the years attracting interest from both practitioners and researchers also due to the increasing availability of personal data, like medical records, physiological parameters, and psychological states, which may enable novel forms of tailored suggestions that can be delivered anywhere at any time, leveraging multiple technologies (e.g., natural language processing) and different devices (e.g., ambient, wearable and mobile devices). The BehavRec workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing open problems and innovative research approaches in this area. Some questions that motivate the workshop are: What kind of data should be used to design “persuasive” recommendations? How should they be delivered? What kind of strategies should be implemented to design timely and contextualized persuasive recommendations? What kind of theories should we rely on to design effective persuasive recommendations? How to support the user’s motivation and help them sustain the desired behavior in the long term? What contextual factors may affect the effectiveness of behavior change recommender systems and should be considered in design? This workshop will deepen the discussion of novel approaches and applications of recommender systems that might want to persuade users into taking beneficial actions in domains as diverse as health and wellness, safety and security, food and environmental sustainability, education and politics. ====== TOPICS ====== Topics of interest include but are not limited to: ∑ RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS – Persuasive and Behavior change recommender systems – Health recommender systems – Food recommender systems – Recommender systems for education – Persuasive conversational recommender systems ∑ USER INTERFACES FOR PERSUASIVE AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS – Visual interfaces – Context-aware interfaces – Ubiquitous, wearable and mobile interfaces – Conversational interfaces ∑ NEW APPROACHES TO DESIGNING AND DELIVERING PERSUASIVE RECOMMENDATIONS – Controllability, transparency, and explainability – Persuasive recommendation (e.g., argumentation-aware recommendation) – Cultural differences (e.g., culture-aware recommendation) – Context-aware recommendation – How to balance the cost and benefit of behavior change recommender systems – Challenges and limitations of implementing behavior change recommender systems ∑ ETHICS, PRIVACY AND THEORIES – Theories of behavior change and persuasion – How to develop ethical and privacy-sensitive behavior change recommender systems – Frameworks and models for developing personalized persuasive technology – Objective and subjective approaches to behavior change recommendations ∑ EVALUATION – Empirical studies and evaluations of recommender systems for behavior change – Evaluation methods and metrics (e.g., evaluation questionnaire design) – Case studies and examples of behavior change recommender systems – Success and failure stories with regard to behavior change recommender systems – Long-term evaluation and evidence of long-term effects of behavior change recommender systems. ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We accept four kinds of submissions: (A) Regular papers (5-12 pages + references - single-column CEURART style) (B) Position papers, Ongoing projects and Demos (5-8 pages + references - single-column CEURART style); (C) Journal papers (already published - 2 pages including abstract, highlights, and a pointer to the complete paper single-column CEURART style); (D) Manifestations of interest (max 2 pages including a bio of the participant and a brief statement about why they are interest in the workshop) Submission site: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=behavrec23 All submitted papers will be evaluated by two members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance, and technical quality. Note that the references do not count toward page limits. Submissions should be single-blinded, i.e. authors’ names should be included in the submissions.

[Deadline Extended]

by Davide Spano

TLDR: The submission deadline has been extended to May 30th ------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- HCI-E2: Workshop on HCI Engineering Education http://ui-engineering.org/activities/hci-engineering-education-2023/ Submission website: https://ise.di.uminho.pt/hci-e2/openconf.php 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 30th, 2023 Notification deadline: June 15th, 2023 Workshop: August Monday 28th or Tuesday 29th Deadlines are AoE. ----------------- Organizers ----------------- José C.

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.

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.
