This is within a world that seeks to protect at best and incentivize the economic recovery that although relevant is still subjected to enormous risks. Among the main areas on which most of the industrialized countries and Europe are focusing on, there are: the transitions towards a green and circular economy, smart digitization of the production processes, social innovation, active citizen participation supported by technologies, and, finally, the education for all. In such a context,*collaboration*is emerging as an approach and an attitude of considerable relevance that stays also at the basis of the polyphonic construction of the future of learning ecosystems. Alongside/collaboration/, on the technological side, it continues to rise the relevance of intelligent systems, generically collected under the label of*Artificial Intelligence*(AI); concurrently, on the pedagogical side,*competences*have become the goal of future education, also in the attempt to close the skill gap, which represents one of the greatest dangers for the transition towards smarter productive systems and societies. Competences and AI, by the way, are also topics that intersect and influence each other and rise questions of*ethical nature*. Last but not least, they are likely to require an organizational and didactic revolution of the learning ecosystems, thus requiring to question the possible consequences in order to build a more adequate future. In turn, this step requires inspiration from best practices to leverage the advantage of the growth of individuals and the expectations of the communities. What should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How “smart learning ecosystems” are changing? How such changes may be related to the achievement of “a better learning for a better world <http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/aslerd/docs/TIMISOARA_DECLARATI…>” as a contribution to theUnited Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) <https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld>? How will they contribute to the reduction of inequalities and, at the same time, to the empowering of each individual according to his expectations and talents? /Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts, does not simply means “technology enhanced”. The smartness is a more complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning, especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation. Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they are not a “sine qua non”. The achievement of the learning ecosystems’ smartness is a process that need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen goals. ========================================================= /*Important dates:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline for papers submission: *April 19**, 2022 (hard deadline)* • Notification to the authors: May 13, 2022 • Camera ready paper: May 23, 2022 • Conference: July 5-6, 2022 ========================================== /*Submissions:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- SLERD contributions of min. 4500 words and max. 16 pages.

[Final CFP] Workshop on Designing for Meaningful Interactions and Digital Wellbeing

by Luigi De Russis

Call for Papers - Designing for Meaningful Interactions and Digital Wellbeing (Design4DWB 2022) NEW DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING 2-4 PAGES PAPERS: 10 APRIL 2022 AVI 2022 Workshop 06 June 2022 - Rome, Italy More info: https://sites.google.com/view/design4dwb/home <https://sites.google.com/view/design4dwb/home> --- ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Nowadays, tech companies adopt attention-capture dark patterns like recommendations and content autoplay to grab people's attention and maximize the time spent on different digital services, from social networks to video sharing platforms. Such a controversial business model exploits the individual's psychological vulnerabilities to increase advertisements revenue, and has several measurable consequences on individuals' sense of agency, often resulting in people's lack of control over technology use. In this context, public media and researchers in different areas, from philosophy to human-computer interaction, agree on the importance of considering a new kind of psychological digital wellbeing. The purpose of this workshop is to provide the academic and industrial communities a venue for discussing ongoing research and ideas on the design of interfaces that allow people to take advantage of digital platforms in a meaningful and conscious way, without the need for external interventions (e.g., timers) that indiscriminately block the user's interaction. This could be done with either novel Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), which allows people to limit their technology use through the redesign of interactive elements, or by finding ways to motivate key stakeholders to avoid or mitigate attention-capture dark patterns from the beginning of their design processes. This workshop is part of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2022). CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, psychology, design, and/or STS 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 in this context. In particular, we solicit participation across more and less technical researchers in HCI who are motivated to address the list of topics below. 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: - Definition and analysis of attention-capture dark patterns. - Novel interfaces for meaningful interaction. - Novel DSCTs that focus on redesigning the user's interaction rather than blocking it. - Design methods and tools for digital wellbeing. - Strategies and tools for measuring people's digital wellbeing. - Responsibility and role of tech companies. - Social, educational, and political factors. WORKSHOP STRUCTURE This one-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. 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 <https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>). PDFs of submissions can be emailed to Alberto Monge Roffarello (one of the organizers) at alberto.monge(a)polito.it <mailto:alberto.monge@polito.it>. They will be reviewed by all organizers based on relevance, originality, and overall quality. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop. Virtual participation will be made possible. All workshop participants will need to register for the workshop. Accepted and presented papers will be made available on CEUR Workshop Proceedings, if possible, while workshop results will be published on our website. Notifications will be mailed to the authors within 15 days of receipt (and no later than the date reported below). IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: 10 April 2022 -> NEW!

HCSE 2022 - 9th International Working Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering - Call for Papers

by Carmelo Ardito

*** Apologies for cross postings *** *************************************************************************** HCSE 2022 9th International Working Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering 24th to 26th of August, 2022, Eindhoven, The Netherlands http://www.hcse-conference.org *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS HCSE is a bi-annual, single-track, working conference organized by the IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodology for User-Centred System Design (http://ifip-tc13.org/working-groups/working-group-13-2/). We aim at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in strengthening the scientific foundations of user interface design, examining the relationship between software engineering and human-computer interaction and on how to strengthen human-centered design as an essential part of software engineering processes. Other topics of interest include: * contributions to the theory and best practices of user-centered design * involvement of end-users, clients and stakeholders in the design and development process of interactive systems * innovative methods for identifying end-user requirements for interactive systems * integration of user experience (and any other user interface property) in development processes * methods for designing, building and assessing interactive systems beyond the desktop (e.g. the living room, ubiquitous and multi-display, cockpits, etc.) * models and model-based approaches for building interactive systems * methods and tools for low-code and no-code development paradigms * integration of multiple properties (e.g. usability, (cyber)security, reliability, user experience, privacy, accessibility, etc.) in software development and making them more accessible to developers and users * context-aware and adaptive interactive systems (e.g. in areas such as digital collaboration, digital and worker assistance) * design and integration of novel interaction techniques such as augmented, virtual, and mixed reality * support for new kinds of human-machine interaction (HMI) for increasingly autonomous systems and systems that use or provide artificial intelligence (e.g. autonomous driving or human-robot collaboration) * socio-technical aspects of interactive software development * artificial intelligence and machine learning to support the development of interactive systems * software architectures and architectural patterns for interactive systems * rational design, design patterns and traceability of design choices. HCSE 2022 welcomes contributions as technical full papers, late breaking results, demonstrations and posters. All papers are peer-reviewed and selected contributions will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series. In the present edition of HCSE 2022 we are particularly interested in studies focused on multi-stakeholder concepts and how to cope with multi-stakeholders taking into account not only micro perspective, but on the systemic change level. This research area is central to the host of the current edition of the conference, the Eindhoven University of Technology, Industrial Design, Systemic Change group. In addition, building on the activities carried out by the WG13.2 during the workshop held at the INTERACT 2021 IFIP TC-13 conference, special consideration will be given to issues related to “changing the context of use”, which has significant impact on how to design and develop with a user-centered perspective and how usage of these systems changed for example in the current pandemic situation. As in past editions, the focus of the working group is on user interface properties (such as usability, ux, privacy, trust, security, reliability, adaptability, among others) and how to design, develop and evaluate based on a user-centered development process. We are interested in understanding how different stakeholders and developers value diverse user interface properties and how they manage conflicts between them (when one property might degrade the value of another) on a systemic change level. Our aim is to cover a large set of user interface properties and try to reveal their inner dependencies. We are particularly interested in the development of theories, methods, tools and approaches for dealing with multiple properties that should be taken into account when developing interactive systems. HCSE welcomes the following types of contributions: * Technical full papers (up to 20 pages) should describe substantial research contributions of novel work that has produced advanced results including validation of results. * Late-breaking results (up to 12 pages) are short papers that present work in progress, new practice and experience reports containing good (and bad) practices and/or recent practical evaluations of methods, techniques and tools. * Demonstrations and posters (5–8 pages, plus poster design draft) should present ongoing work and/or late-breaking results related to the use of innovative tools and cutting-edge systems not described in other paper submissions. Demonstration papers should provide description of tools including user tasks and evidence of use to end-users. Demo submissions should summarize the system’s significance and its performance and should either include screenshots or link to an online-accessible resource. The poster design draft should show the planned design and content of the poster that will be presented at the conference. Industry contributions to demos and posters are particularly welcome and highly encouraged. SUBMISSIONS AND REVIEWING PROCESS All contributions should be submitted via the EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=hcse2022conference). All submissions will be peer-reviewed for their topical relevance, originality, technical contribution, and presentation quality by the members of the international program committee. Technical full papers and late-breaking results short papers will be reviewed double-blind, demonstrations and posters single-blind. Authors must prepare their submission files accordingly! For poster submissions, both paper and poster design draft will be assessed for review. It will be possible for the program committee to suggest accepting submissions in other than their original submission categories. PRESENTATIONS If we hold a physical conference, under the current circumstances, all accepted submissions will be presented at the conference in technical sessions. It will be possible for authors of accepted technical full papers and late-breaking results short papers to give tool demos as well without submitting additional demo papers. The conference will NOT enable hybrid participation. PROCEEDINGS Accepted contributions must be formatted according to the guidelines of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-12-73062-0).

Research areas could involve the design, building, or evaluation of technologies involving or relating to human-centric AI and issues of human-centric AI, such as trust and fairness. This goal aligns with the theme of the 2022 VL/HCC main conference. Other areas within the remit of VL/HCC are also welcome. *Why You Should Participate* - Present your work to a smaller, more attentive audience - Get detailed, critical, constructive feedback from a diverse panel of experts - Meet other students working on similar problems - Travel funding may be available to help cover your cost of attending VL/HCC (details below). *Who Can Participate?* The consortium is open to both master's and PhD students worldwide. Participation is particularly encouraged from PhD students who are close to proposing a thesis, as well as from members of groups identified by NSF as underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. If multiple applicants from a particular university apply for the consortium this year, then no more than two per university will be selected to participate. To be eligible, each applicant may have participated no more than once in the VL/HCC graduate consortia of past years. *Application Process* Email the following items with *_VLHCC22-GC_* in the subject line to *Andrew Fish at [andrew.fish `at' brighton.ac.uk <http://brighton.ac.uk/>]* and *Thomas LaToza [tlatoza `at' gmu.edu <http://gmu.edu/>]:* - A 2-page research abstract, formatted as a PDF in the standard IEEE Conference Proceedings format. NOTE: Accepted participants' abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings. To make it easier for you to write a successful abstract, we provide examples from past years below. Your curriculum vitae (CV), as a second PDF file. This CV should mention whether you have previously participated in any graduate consortia at any conferences. - A letter of recommendation sent directly by your thesis advisor. This letter should summarize your accomplishments and describe how far along you are in your master's or PhD program, why attending the GC this year would be important for you, and please ask them to mention if you have already attended VL/HCC GC in any past year. In addition, if you are a member of a group designated by NSF as underrepresented, then the letter may mention this fact. *Selection Process* For one-third of the slots, students who have participated once before will be given priority. The remaining slots will be given to students who are new to the event. Each student from the returning group will be linked with new students in a mentoring arrangement. See _Who Can Participate?_ above for additional selection criteria. *Posters* Selected students will be asked to present a poster on their work at the Showpieces Reception during the main conference. Details will be provided to accepted applicants. *Travel Support* We expect to be able to offer partial funding for travel expenses for US participants to attend, contingent on the availability of funds. *Schedule* The consortium event will be a full day the Monday before the main conference. All participating students are expected to attend the main conference as well as the graduate consortium. Other conference attendees are invited to attend the consortium, to listen to the presentations, to interact with participants, and to give feedback to presenters. More details will be provided, closer to the event, including times and locations. *Examples of Successful Applications* To be successful, a submission to the VL/HCC Graduate Consortium generally has to have the following parts: 1. The paper starts with a sentence or two that describes a real-world setting. 2. It then identifies a problem in that setting. 3. The remainder of the paper's introduction outlines an approach for solving that problem. 4. In a subsequent section, the paper describes a prototype or preliminary study showing the feasibility of that approach. 5. The paper explains why more work is still required in addition to this prior work. 6. The paper concludes by describing future work that will build on this prior work in order to finish completing the approach. 7. Somewhere along the way, the paper explains how the approach builds on, or differs from, other related work. We have annotated three excellent submissions that exemplify the pattern described above (PDFs available via links at https://conf.researchr.org/track/vlhcc-2022/vlhcc-2022-graduate-consortium). We hope that you will find these examples thought-provoking and helpful as you design your own submission this year. - [Information on the Web: How End Users Make Use of Data] - [Roles in Online Collaborative Problem Solving] - [Re-forming the Internet with its End Users] *Panel Members and Organizers* - Andrew Fish, University of Brighton (chair) - Thomas LaToza, George Mason University (chair) - Margaret Burnett, Oregon State University - Brittany Johnson-Matthews, George Mason University -- Emanuele Panizzi Associate Professor Computer Science Department Faculty of Information Engineering, Informatics, and Statistics Sapienza University of Rome, Italy

State-of-the-art and novel methodologies and technologies allow researchers, designers, and domain experts to pursue Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) solutions targeting not only cognitive processes but also motivational, personality, or emotional factors. Nowadays, we can identify two main legs, providing necessary and complementary strengths to a TEL-oriented design process: appropriate technologies should be applied, and appropriate methods should guide the design of such application. Technologies in TEL are capable of delivering smart, personalized, tailored, and motivating learning solutions. Methods are coming from different fields, such as education, psychology, medicine, computer science, and from diverse communities, where collaboration and co-working are used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, Learning Analytics can help manage available (big) data and augment learning opportunities for learners and educators alike, for instance by supporting self-regulated learning or adaptation of the learning material. As to these topics, the annual appointment of MIS4TEL established itself as a consolidated fertile forum where scholars and professionals from the international community, with a broad range of expertise in the TEL field, share results and compare experiences. The 12th edition of the conference calls for novel research in TEL and expands the topics of the previous editions, highlighting the role of the most recent methods and technological opportunities. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL. >>> TOPICS Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: # Technologies and technology-based solutions for TEL # - AI technologies and tools for TEL - Agent-based and multi-agent TEL systems - Knowledge representation, reasoning, and management systems for TEL - Natural language systems for TEL - Recommendation, personalization, and adaptation in TEL systems - Social networks for TEL - Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) for TEL - Internet of things (IoT) solutions for TEL - Smart solutions or environments for TEL - Wearable technologies for TEL - Robotics for TEL - Virtual reality environments for TEL - Games for TEL or gamified TEL - Sharing and interoperability between TEL environments - Making and fabrication for TEL # Methodologies and experiences for TEL # - Methodologies for personalization, user modeling, and adaptation in TEL- Methodologies for recommendation systems and user modeling in TEL - Methodologies for fostering motivation and engagement in TEL - Methodologies for the design of accessible and usable TEL systems - Methodologies for including different voices in the design process of TEL - Methodologies for informal learning for TEL - Methodologies for fostering TEL in small, medium, and large companies - Methodologies, tools, and frameworks supporting experiments in TEL - Methodologies or approaches from game design and gamification for TEL - Novel experiences and studies (e.g., case studies, ethnographic studies, field studies, experimentations) with methodologies for TEL # Learning analytics for TEL # - Big data and data visualization in TEL - Learning analytics for curriculum design - Learning analytics for personalizing the learner experience - Learning analytics for predicting behavior - Learning analytics for designing learning interventions - Learning analytics for stakeholders >>> SUBMISSIONS # Submitting papers # MIS4TEL papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNNS Template, with a maximum length of 10 pages, including figures and references.

VL/HCC 2022: Extended Deadlines

by Emanuele Panizzi

*VL/HCC 2022: Call for Research Papers* (Apologies for multiple postings) *IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing* *>>> 12-16 September 2022 <<<* *Rome, Italy* *https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2022* <https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2022> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *IMPORTANT DEADLINES* Research Papers: - Abstracts-Only: *Wednesday 6th April 2022* - Submission Deadline: *Wednesday 6th April 2022* (all deadlines are *23:59, AoE*) *>>> Submission link: **https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) 2022* From the beginning of the computer age, people have sought easier ways to learn, express, and understand computational ideas. Whether this meant moving from punch cards to textual languages, or command lines to graphical UIs, the quest to make computation easier to express, manipulate, and understand by a broader group of people is an ongoing challenge. 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 2022 symposium is scheduled to take place September 12-16 in Rome, Italy. Our special emphasis for 2022 is *Human-Centric AI*. VL/HCC 2022 is 100% Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (TCMC). *VL/HCC is indexed in Scopus, DBLP, IEEE Explore, WoS.* *The Symposium is planned to be in presence. In any case, we are monitoring the Covid situation and will act according to decisions of the authorities to insure the safest and widest participation.* We look forward to your participation in VL/HCC! Paolo Bottoni, VL/HCC 2022 General Co-Chair Gennaro Costagliola, VL/HCC 2022 General Co-Chair --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *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). 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 “Contacts” below). We welcome those new to the VL/HCC community to submit! *Special Emphasis for 2022: Human-Centric AI* This year’s special topic is “Human-Centric AI”. As AI and explainable AI (XAI) experience explosive growth, many questions arise about how to ensure that tools and explanations for AI fit the needs of the broad populations they need to serve. This year, we especially welcome papers at VL/HCC that design, build, or evaluate technologies involving or relating to human-centric AI and issues of human-centric AI, such as trust and fairness. *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=vlhcc2022>*. <<<* *>>> The submission link is: * *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022>* <<<* 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 Deadlines above). 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. Work-in-progress, which has not yet yielded a contribution, should be submitted to the Showpieces category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee in a single 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 2022 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/). *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. *Special Issue of The Journal of Computer Languages (COLA)* A select number of accepted papers will also be invited to optionally submit a revised and extended paper to a special issue of the Journal of Computer Languages (COLA). These papers will also go through the journal’s normal reviewing process. Papers accepted at both would appear both in the proceedings for VL/HCC 2022 and in COLA. Further instructions regarding formatting and the review/publication process will be provided when the invitations are made. More information about COLA is available here: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computer-languages --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *VL/HCC 2022 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* General Co-Chair Paolo Bottoni, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy General Co-Chair Gennaro Costagliola, University of Salerno, Italy Program Co-Chair Michelle Brachman, IBM Research, United States Program Co-Chair Mark Minas, Bundeswehr University Munich, Germany Publicity & Social Media Chair Emanuele Panizzi, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Finance Chair Maria De Marsico, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Publications Chair Kim Monch, Bundeswehr University Munich, Germany Web Chair Mattia De Rosa, University of Salerno, Italy Graduate Consortium Co-Chair Andrew Fish, University of Brighton, United Kingdom Graduate Consortium Co-Chair, Thomas LaToza, George Mason University, United States Tutorial and Workshop Co-Chair Alessio Malizia, University of Pisa, Italy Tutorial and Workshop Co-Chair Vittorio Fuccella, University of Salerno, Italy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Contacts* PC Co-Chairs: - Michelle (Ichinco) Brachman (michelle.brachman(a)ibm.com) - Mark Minas (mark.minas(a)unibw.de) For more information or any queries, please see our website: https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2022
