CFP: Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users - IR4U2@SIGIR 2025

by Noemi Mauro

**** PLEASE, EXCUSE MULTIPLE POSTINGS **** Call For Papers CFP for the 2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users ( IR4U2) - Bridging User-centered AI with IR: Making Information Retrieval Accessible for All Please join us at IR4U2, co-located with the 48th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, which will take place 13th-18th July 2025 in Padua, Italy Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research. Nevertheless, most advancements in this domain have primarily favored what we might term 'conventional' users, such as adults from the global north. We envision IR4U2 as a forum to spotlight research and industry efforts that, while sparse, consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups. Among these groups, we find, for example, older adults, young children and adolescents, individuals afflicted by mental health disorders, users with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with intellectual disabilities, or those with specific learning needs. In this second iteration of IR4U2, we will focus more specifically on a **user-centred AI perspective**, which we believe is vital for informing the design, development, and assessment of IR systems that thoughtfully address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine accessibility and inclusivity. We aim to • Build, extend and maintain a community involving multi-disciplinary Ph.D. students, academics, and industry practitioners aiming to advance understanding of core (AI for) IR technology and its impact on a broad range of understudied users. • Take inventory of the different kinds of use cases, research work, ongoing efforts, and existing resources while reflecting on the progress made since the last IR4U2 iteration. • Define guidelines to promote user-centric design of IR systems. • Outline a general approach to facilitate research endeavors driven by and at the service of specific user groups IR4U2 will be a highly participatory, full-day, in-person workshop.

19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025): Fifth Call for Tools & Demos

by Announce

*** Fifth Call for Tools & Demos *** 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025 (*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***) The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to present and discuss the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the field of software architecture research and practice. The 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus). SCOPE The theme for ECSA 2025 is “impactful software architecture”. The software architecture discipline has had a critical role in shaping robust, scalable, and maintainable systems. We are interested in learning about software architecture principles and practices, emergence trends and case studies highlighting strategic architectural choices that can lead to enhanced performance, improved collaboration, and long-term sustainability. The overarching question is how these architectural principles and practices, both well-established and emerging, are making an impact in real-world systems, and how that impact is being felt across various domains, from enterprise systems to more novel areas like, e.g., AI-driven or autonomous applications? Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Foundational principles of software architecture • Relationship of requirements engineering and software architecture • Quality attributes and software architectures • Architecture practices for secure, explainable, and trustworthy software • Architecture design and analysis • Architecture description languages and meta-models • Architecture verification and validation • Management of architectural knowledge, decisions, and rationale • Architecture patterns, styles, and tactics; reference architectures • Architecture viewpoints and views • Architecture conformance • Software architecture virtualization and visualization • Architecture-centric process models and frameworks • Software architecture and agile, incremental, iterative, and continuous development • Component-based models and deployment; middleware • Software architecture and system architecture • Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software engineering • Ethics, cultural, economic, business, social, human, and managerial aspects of software architecture • Architecture and technical debt • Architecting for sustainable and environment friendly systems • Applying AI and LLMs in software architecture and architecting for AI and LLM intensive systems • Software architecture education • Cross-disciplinary approaches to software architecture • Architectures for reconfigurable and self-adaptive systems • Architectural concerns of autonomic systems • Software architecture applied to new and emerging areas, such as the cloud/edge, big data, blockchain, cyber-physical systems, IoT, autonomous systems, systems-of-systems, energy- aware software, quantum computing, AI-enabled systems • Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews, and mapping studies in software architecture • Diversity, equity, and inclusion in activities related to software architecture TOOLS AND DEMOS The Tools and Demonstrations (Tools & Demos) Track provides an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent advances, ideas, experiences, and challenges in the field of Software Architecture by means of Tools & Demos presentations. Tools & Demos papers are intended to address any aspect of: (i) tool support for software architectures, or (ii) demonstrate results about the application of architectural approaches. Papers submitted to this track can belong to two distinct categories: • Tool papers: These papers deal with the development and evaluation of tools to support software architecture. They may present new tools, extensions to existing tools, or evaluations of the effectiveness of tools. The aim is to provide a platform for the exchange of innovative tools and techniques that help design, implement and analyze software architectures. • Demo papers: These papers will demonstrate concepts, techniques or systems related to software architectures. The focus is on presenting practical applications and implementations of architectural approaches. Demo papers may include live demonstrations, prototypes or simulations that emphasize the benefits and potential of specific architecture solutions. Both Tool Papers and Demo Papers contribute to the advancement of the field by providing insights, experiences and practical solutions related to software architectures. Tools and Demos should not be used as a means for commercial advertisement. We will strive to keep ECSA’s tradition to select the Best Tools & Demo Paper, awarded during the conference. The selection of the best tool and demo paper will be made based on the votes of the attendants of the conference. Submissions of Tools & Demos papers should describe the work, how it relates to other industrial or research efforts, including references, what the expected benefits are, a video of the tool or demo (if one exists), and the web-page and/or open-source repository for the tool (if one exists). All submissions must conform to the LNCS template and must not exceed 8 pages. Tools & Demos submissions should provide a link to a video, with audio commentary, of a maximum of ten minutes in length, with high resolution (e.g., details of the tool’s functionality should be clearly visible). The video must be uploaded on a server (e.g., YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox), and the link must be included in the submission for its evaluation (as a footnote on the first page of the submission or as links after the abstract of the submission). In addition, it is possible to provide open material, e.g., source code and/or a running instance of the tool. The links to the video and (if applicable) the additional material should be included in the contribution after the abstract and before the introduction sections. Paper submissions must be made electronically via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2024 conference, selecting the “Tools & Demos Track”: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2025 . The selection criteria of Tools & Demos papers will consider their originality, relevance for the ECSA audience, technical soundness, and presentation quality. Each submission will be evaluated by at least two PC members, in a single-step review process. The accepted papers will be included in the ECSA 2025 companion volume to be published in Springer LNCS series. IMPORTANT DATES • Abstract submission: May 16, 2025 • Paper submission: May 23, 2025 • Notification: June 20, 2025 • Camera-ready paper: June 27, 2025 Early/Author registration for all accepted contributions: June 27, 2025 All dates are 23:59h AoE (Anywhere on Earth).

Dear All, We are excited to invite you to an upcoming DFIR Stream 0xE webinar: Title: “Identifying Fraudulent CAPTCHA Solvers Using Network Propagation Analysis” Presenters: -Martynas Buožis — Information Security Architect, Amadeus Data Processing GmbH -Umberto Fontana — PhD Candidate, Telecom SudParis & Amadeus IT Group Abstract: Malicious actors often use CAPTCHA Farms to bypass bot protection, enabling fraud such as inventory denial and SMS pumping. These farms cleverly mirror IP addresses and client fingerprints, making traditional detection methods ineffective. Meanwhile, their CAPTCHA-solving times are indistinguishable from legitimate users. In this talk, our speakers will present a novel technique for uncovering the use of CAPTCHA Farms by analyzing network propagation times. By comparing observed delays with the geographic distances implied by IP addresses, this approach aims to statistically identify suspicious patterns. - Date & Time: Tuesday, March 25, 2:00 – 3:00 pm (GMT+00:00) - Location: Online (Pre-registration required) - Event Registration Link: https://www.acfti.org/news-events/dfir-stream-0xe - Online Registration Ends: March 23 at 04:00 PM (GMT+00:00) Don’t miss this chance to learn about cutting-edge research on detecting fraudulent CAPTCHA solvers and to provide valuable feedback! ======Housekeeping Notes====== - Note that this event is online only. Hence, You must register to receive a link to connect. Due to limited availability, we kindly ask you to register as soon as possible to ensure your participation in the webinar of your choice.

*** Last Mile for Paper Submission (Research/Industry) *** 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025 (*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***) (*** Extended deadline: Abstract -- March 21, 2025; Paper -- March 28, 2025) The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to present and discuss the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the field of software architecture research and practice. The 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus). SCOPE The theme for ECSA 2025 is “impactful software architecture”. The software architecture discipline has had a critical role in shaping robust, scalable, and maintainable systems. We are interested in learning about software architecture principles and practices, emergence trends and case studies highlighting strategic architectural choices that can lead to enhanced performance, improved collaboration, and long-term sustainability. The overarching question is how these architectural principles and practices, both well-established and emerging, are making an impact in real-world systems, and how that impact is being felt across various domains, from enterprise systems to more novel areas like, e.g., AI-driven or autonomous applications? The Program Committee of the 19th European Conference on Software Architecture seeks submissions of original and unpublished high-quality papers describing fundamental and applied research; new methods, approaches, and processes; novel applications; education and training in software architecture; and experience reports on all topics related to software architecture. We particularly encourage papers that demonstrate that diversity in gender, culture, religion, country, etc. are key factors for success and innovation in software architecture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Foundational principles of software architecture • Relationship of requirements engineering and software architecture • Quality attributes and software architectures • Architecture practices for secure, explainable, and trustworthy software • Architecture design and analysis • Architecture description languages and meta-models • Architecture verification and validation • Management of architectural knowledge, decisions, and rationale • Architecture patterns, styles, and tactics; reference architectures • Architecture viewpoints and views • Architecture conformance • Software architecture virtualization and visualization • Architecture-centric process models and frameworks • Software architecture and agile, incremental, iterative, and continuous development • Component-based models and deployment; middleware • Software architecture and system architecture • Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software engineering • Ethics, cultural, economic, business, social, human, and managerial aspects of software architecture • Architecture and technical debt • Architecting for sustainable and environment friendly systems • Applying AI and LLMs in software architecture and architecting for AI and LLM intensive systems • Software architecture education • Cross-disciplinary approaches to software architecture • Architectures for reconfigurable and self-adaptive systems • Architectural concerns of autonomic systems • Software architecture applied to new and emerging areas, such as the cloud/edge, big data, blockchain, cyber-physical systems, IoT, autonomous systems, systems-of-systems, energy- aware software, quantum computing, AI-enabled systems • Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews, and mapping studies in software architecture • Diversity, equity, and inclusion in activities related to software architecture RESEARCH PAPERS ECSA 2025 seeks four types of papers for the research track: • Research papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) which describe novel contributions to software architecture research (submissions should cover work that has a sound scientific/technological basis and has been validated) • Education and training papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that address methodologies, experiences and best practices for teaching and training software architecture • Experience reports (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that cover innovative implementations, novel applications, insightful performance results and experience in applying software architecture research advances to practical situations and systems • Short papers (max. 8 pages in LNCS style) that present novel and preliminary work-in- progress or challenges in a topic of software architecture research, education, and training. Submissions must have a sound basis, but not necessarily be validated in full. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Papers will be selected based on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance. All contributions must be original, not published, accepted, or submitted for publication elsewhere. Contravention of this concurrent submission policy will be deemed a serious breach of ethics, and appropriate action will be taken in all such cases. Plagiarism checking will be conducted and any paper reporting more than a 20% match with published work will be desk-rejected. To note is that research papers, education and training papers, and experience reports that are rejected in their categories may be re-evaluated as short papers only if the committee decides on rejection of the full paper on the basis that it presents preliminary work. The research track of ECSA 2025 supports an Open Science policy. We encourage all contributing authors to disclose (anonymized and curated) data/artifacts to increase reproducibility. Note that sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance. Upon submission to the research track, authors are required: • To make their artifacts available to the program committee (via a link to an anonymous repository) and provide instructions on how to access this data in the paper; or • To include in the paper an explanation as to why this is not possible or desirable; and • To indicate why they do not intend to make their data or study materials publicly available upon acceptance, if that is the case While sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance, authors are required to include a Data Availability statement after the Conclusions section in a section named "Data Availability". This statement should explain whether or not data and/or artifacts are available or how they could be accessed (or not). Upon acceptance, papers with Open Science artifacts (e.g., data, tools, etc.) will be invited to upload their artifacts into the ECSA Zenodo community (https://zenodo.org/communities/ecsa/) to make them accessible and visible to the ECSA community. Sharing artifacts via the ECSA Zenodo community is required for authors to be eligible for the best Open Artifact award. All contributions must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). Page limits include figures and references.

[Call for Abstracts] 2nd Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases (June 10 2025, Pisa, Italy - co-located with HHAI25)

by Chiara Natali

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call) -------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS Second Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases Co-located with the 4th International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI25) June 10, 2025 | Pisa, Italy (in-person) https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home <https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home> -------------------------------------------------- **Workshop Overview** Building on the success of its first edition at HHAI 2024, the full-day workshop on "Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases" advances the exploration of over-reliance and biases in Human-AI Interaction. Central to this discussion are approaches that intentionally introduce moments of cognitive effort and reflection into AI interactions to prevent passive or automatic reliance. While conventional AI design prioritises efficiency and seamlessness, this workshop invites participants to examine AI systems that strategically slow down decision-making when necessary to mitigate automation bias, cognitive offloading, and over-trust, ultimately fostering accuracy, responsibility, and human oversight. Such friction-in-design encompasses strategies that encourage users to reflect before acting, such as requiring justification before accepting AI recommendations, displaying confidence scores with uncertainty visualisations, or using explainability mechanisms that slow decision-making to reinforce human oversight. This workshop fosters interdisciplinary dialogue across AI research, cognitive science, HCI, and governance to ensure AI systems empower users rather than encourage unchecked reliance. The program will feature keynote presentations by leading experts in academia and industry, author presentations, and interactive discussions to advance the discourse on cognitively engaging and responsible AI design. Keynote speakers include: • Prof. Federico Cabitza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) – Expert in AI-assisted decision-making and medical AI. • Bart Van Leeuwen (Fire Services Expert, Netherlands) – Expert in human factors and situational awareness in high-risk environments. **Topics of Interest** We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on topics including, but not limited to: • Design Principles for Cognitive Engagement • Measuring and mitigating automation bias, algorithmic aversion, and cognitive offloading • Ethical and Governance Perspectives on Friction-in-Design • Applications, Case Studies and Experimental Findings We encourage submissions from a variety of disciplines, including AI, HCI, cognitive science, law, philosophy, and beyond. **Submission Details** • Types of Submissions: Extended Abstracts (500-1,000 words) • Format: CEURART-WS style preferred • Submission Portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025 <https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025> • Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published in the HHAI 2025 Workshop Proceedings on CEUR-WS. Authors of accepted contributions are required to attend the workshop in-person and register to the HHAI25 conference (single-day registration available, details TBA). **Important Dates** • Paper Submission Deadline: April 4, 2025 (AoE) • Notification of Acceptance: May 2, 2025 • Camera-Ready Submission: TBD (authors will be invited to expand their contributions following workshop discussions) • Workshop Date: June 10, 2025 **Beyond the Workshop** Our aim is to foster a research network. Authors from all editions, if desired, will be invited to participate in future initiatives, including knowledge exchanges, collaborative publications, special journal issues, and online lecture series. **Organising & Programme Committee** • Chiara Natali (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy & IDSIA, SUPSI, Switzerland) • Mohammad Naiseh (Bournemouth University, UK) • Brett Frischmann (Villanova University, USA) • Programme Committee: full list available at https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home <https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home> For more information, visit our website: https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home <https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home>

by Luca Turchet

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** *Special Issue on "Ethical Innovation with/in Music Technology" IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society* *https://technologyandsociety.org/transactions/special-issues/ <https://technologyandsociety.org/transactions/special-issues/>* Recently, there has been increasing attention by the academic and industrial research community towards topics at the confluence of music technology and ethical and responsible innovation. Conceptual frameworks and technical methods proposed to address issues related to diversity, inclusivity, accessibility, environmental sustainability, surveillance, and fair remuneration for artists are impacting the discussions of both established communities (e.g., New Interfaces for Musical Expression or Music Information Retrieval), and emerging ones (e.g., Internet of Musical Things or Musical Metaverse). The rapid progress and widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality, and Internet of Things applied to music raise the urgent question on how to concretely embed ethics and responsible innovation practices in musical hardware and software development processes so that the services provided do not infringe on the ethical rights of stakeholders in the music ecosystem by performing ethical response-ability in the ethical pluralism of music practices. Such stakeholders involve a significant part of digital societies, including performers, composers, audiences, music teachers and students, sound engineers, as well as music labels and publishers. The intent of this special issue is to identify the main considerations around the ethical and responsible development of future music technologies. We target ethical innovation in music technology as well as with music technology. We aim at defining a promising road-map to account for these considerations while maintaining the objective of pushing the boundaries of musical hardware, software and socio-technical ecosystems, thus merging musical innovation with the understanding of its impact on society. We invite theoretical and methodologically rigorous original submissions that challenge, provoke, and expand these emerging frontiers. We welcome both conceptual and experimental studies, corroborated by quantitative and/or qualitative data. The studies can address a plethora of musical activities, including composition, performance, improvisation, teaching and learning, as well as broader ethical and responsible innovation issues in and beyond the music industry. Key topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Conceptualization of trustworthy musical ecosystems for digital societies - Trustworthy AI, Responsible AI and Explainable AI for musical applications - Ethics for the Musical Metaverse, Internet of Musical Things, Music Information Retrieval, and New Interfaces for Musical Expression - Environmental sustainability issues and solutions for the music industry - Dilemmas of creativity and autonomy in music technology - Inclusivity and accessibility in music technology - The plurality of ethics (cultural, legal, social and political) issues related to innovative music technologies - Trustworthy musical data ecosystem architectures, interfaces, methodologies, orchestration, patterns, solutions, and technology platforms - Impact of trustworthy musical ecosystems on digital societies at the local, national and global levels - Socio-economic fairness and ethical response-abilities in the music industry - The restoration of ancient instruments in a modern digital context and the preservation of related cultural histories - The benefits and risks of using an AI musical tutor: fast-tracking tools for learning an instrument and means of production - New responsible tools and techniques for teaching and learning music in higher education - Repositioning ourselves as researchers who perform ethical response-ability Important dates - Submissions open: 1 January 2025 - Submissions close: 1 September 2025 - Author latest notifications of acceptance: 1 February 2026 - Final receipt of final files: 1 March 2026 - Publication of special issue: 1 June 2026 Guest Editors - Prof. Luca Turchet, Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science, University of Trento, Italy - Prof. Nick Bryan-Kinns, Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts London - Dr. Fabio Morreale, Sony AI, Barcelona, Spain - Prof. James Brusseau, Department of Philosophy, Pace University, New York City, USA - Prof. Pamela Burnard, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Luca Turchet*, Ph.D. Associate Professor Head of the *Creative, Intelligent & Multisensory Interactions Laboratory* <https://www.cimil.disi.unitn.it/> Chair of the *IEEE Emerging Technology Initiative on the Internet of Sounds* <https://www.comsoc.org/about/committees/emerging-technologies-initiatives/i…> Founder and President of the* Internet of Sounds Research Network <https://www.internetofsounds.net/>* Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science University of Trento Via Sommarive 9 - 38123 Trento - Italy E-mail: luca.turchet(a)unitn.it Tel: +39 0461 283792

Submissions must have a sound basis, but not necessarily be validated in full. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Papers will be selected based on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance. All contributions must be original, not published, accepted, or submitted for publication elsewhere. Contravention of this concurrent submission policy will be deemed a serious breach of ethics, and appropriate action will be taken in all such cases. Plagiarism checking will be conducted and any paper reporting more than a 20% match with published work will be desk-rejected. To note is that research papers, education and training papers, and experience reports that are rejected in their categories may be re-evaluated as short papers only if the committee decides on rejection of the full paper on the basis that it presents preliminary work. The research track of ECSA 2025 supports an Open Science policy. We encourage all contributing authors to disclose (anonymized and curated) data/artifacts to increase reproducibility. Note that sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance. Upon submission to the research track, authors are required: • To make their artifacts available to the program committee (via a link to an anonymous repository) and provide instructions on how to access this data in the paper; or • To include in the paper an explanation as to why this is not possible or desirable; and • To indicate why they do not intend to make their data or study materials publicly available upon acceptance, if that is the case While sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance, authors are required to include a Data Availability statement after the Conclusions section in a section named "Data Availability". This statement should explain whether or not data and/or artifacts are available or how they could be accessed (or not). Upon acceptance, papers with Open Science artifacts (e.g., data, tools, etc.) will be invited to upload their artifacts into the ECSA Zenodo community (https://zenodo.org/communities/ecsa/) to make them accessible and visible to the ECSA community. Sharing artifacts via the ECSA Zenodo community is required for authors to be eligible for the best Open Artifact award.

"Haptics for the arts" - special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Haptics

by Luca Turchet

*Apologies for cross-posting* *Call for papers - Special Issue on "Haptics for the Arts" * *IEEE Transactions on Haptics* *https://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/toh/special-issues <https://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/toh/special-issues>* In the last two decades, we have witnessed the development of many innovative devices and original techniques for providing haptic sensations in artistic settings. This includes the tactile enrichment of music listening and performance experiences, haptic soundscapes, interactive installations leveraging tactile interfaces, immersive multimedia experiences exploring the nuances of touch, or the haptic enhancement of digital musical instruments. There is a growing interest in the haptics community in investigating interfaces and perceptual phenomena at the confluence of art and haptics, as demonstrated by the Art & Design Track at the 2024 Eurohaptics conference. New system perspectives are needed to develop the next generation of haptic interfaces for artistic contexts, which pose significant challenges at the technical and perceptual levels. Overcoming these challenges requires a transdisciplinary approach, involving engineering, human-computer interaction, performance studies, and the arts in general. Generating a dialogue between these research fields will be beneficial for obtaining innovative results in constructing future haptic interfaces for artistic usages. The intent of this special issue is to define a promising road-map for the development of future haptic interfaces for artistic contexts, pushing the boundaries of haptic exploration and offering unique perspectives that blend technological innovation with sensory engagement. We invite technically rigorous submissions that challenge, provoke, and expand these frontiers. Submissions that neglect to rigorously explore the links between the arts and at least one of the fields of engineering, computer science, or human-computer interaction will not be considered. Topics of interest include and are not limited to: - Haptic modeling, rendering, algorithms, and systems for the arts - Haptic interaction techniques and methods for the arts - Haptic hardware for the arts, including XR and multimodal/wearable displays - Perceptual, behavioral, and cognitive studies on haptics in arts - Data-driven approaches for haptic artistic representations - AI applications for haptics in the arts, including use of explainable or generative AI - Perceptual, behavioral, and cognitive studies that demonstrate user impact of haptics in the arts - Empirical studies that demonstrate the roles and effects of haptics in interaction with artwork - Installation art with haptic technologies, including haptic soundscapes - Musical haptics for performers and/or audiences - Haptic technology for creativity support - Affective haptics for the arts Submission instructions We welcome top-quality original (unpublished) articles. Each submission will be peer-reviewed, and papers will be selected based on their impact, originality, and relevance to the special issue’s aims and scope. All submissions should be formatted following the IEEE ToH journal instructions for authors and submitted to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/toh.

CFP: Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users - IR4U2@SIGIR 2025

by Noemi Mauro

**** PLEASE, EXCUSE MULTIPLE POSTINGS **** Call For Papers CFP for the 2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users (IR4U2) - Bridging User-centered AI with IR: Making Information Retrieval Accessible for All Please join us at IR4U2, co-located with the 48th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, which will take place 13th-18th July 2025 in Padua, Italy Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research. Nevertheless, most advancements in this domain have primarily favored what we might term 'conventional' users, such as adults from the global north. We envision IR4U2 as a forum to spotlight research and industry efforts that, while sparse, consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups. Among these groups, we find, for example, older adults, young children and adolescents, individuals afflicted by mental health disorders, users with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with intellectual disabilities, or those with specific learning needs. In this second iteration of IR4U2, we will focus more specifically on a **user-centred AI perspective**, which we believe is vital for informing the design, development, and assessment of IR systems that thoughtfully address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine accessibility and inclusivity. We aim to • Build, extend and maintain a community involving multi-disciplinary Ph.D. students, academics, and industry practitioners aiming to advance understanding of core (AI for) IR technology and its impact on a broad range of understudied users. • Take inventory of the different kinds of use cases, research work, ongoing efforts, and existing resources while reflecting on the progress made since the last IR4U2 iteration. • Define guidelines to promote user-centric design of IR systems. • Outline a general approach to facilitate research endeavors driven by and at the service of specific user groups IR4U2 will be a highly participatory, full-day, in-person workshop. This will involve informal interactions, facilitated group work, and brief presentations of accepted contributions. These contributions will help construct a snapshot of the current works in this area.

Being inspired by the flow theory and by the Maslow’s pyramid, we can state that: ecosystems are smart when /“individuals that take part in the local processes achieve a high level of skills and, at the same time, are also strongly motivated and engaged by continuous and adequate challenges, provided that their primary needs are reasonably satisfied”./ The smartness of learning ecosystems, thus, is not created merely through the availability of digital infrastructures and applications. When technologies are both available and adopted enthusiastically, they can start to make a difference in both simplifying and accelerating progress toward the achievement of system smartness. One has to keep in mind, however, that technologies are smart not because they are capable of replacing human reasoning but, rather because they can help towards achieving a people centered smartness, through streamlining mundane organisational tasks, and enhancing the skills of all actors involved in learning processes. Our duty, with the help of technology, is to support learning ecosystems (formal, informal, non-formal) to develop their people centered smartness towards becoming incubators of social innovation and engines of sustainable regional development./Smartness is a goal/ and we can support our learning ecosystems along the process to achieve it by proposing solutions capable to solve or mitigate problems that prevent the learning ecosystems to be people centered. We expect students, wishing to take part in the contest, to analyze their learning ecosystem, detect problems and find solutions that can help their, and as well other learning ecosystems, to get smarter. Proposals submitted to this call are expected to address thesame general themes of the call for papers of the conference, namely: * places for smart education, * people in place centered design for smart education, * supportive learning technologies and tools for smart education. ========================================== Important dates: --------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline for ideas submission to slerd25-contest(a)utt.fr <mailto:slerd25-contest@utt.fr>: *April 15th, 2025* • Selection of the best 3 proofs of concepts and prototypes (finsalists): May 6th, 2025 • Presentation and demo at SLERD 2024 and winner announcement: June 12th and 13th, 2025 ========================================== ========================================== Early bird registration to the main conference, SLERD 2025, is now open: https://www.slerd.org/registration-form/ *Deadline for early bird registration to SLERD 2025: May 15th* SLERD 2025 is featuring the keynotes by: /*Charles B.

[Call for Abstracts] Second Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases (June 10 2025, Pisa, Italy - co-located with HHAI25)

by Chiara Natali

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call) -------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS Second Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases Co-located with the 4th International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI25) June 10, 2025 | Pisa, Italy (in-person) https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home -------------------------------------------------- **Workshop Overview** Building on the success of its first edition at HHAI 2024, the full-day workshop on "Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases" advances the exploration of over-reliance and biases in Human-AI Interaction. Central to this discussion are approaches that intentionally introduce moments of cognitive effort and reflection into AI interactions to prevent passive or automatic reliance. While conventional AI design prioritises efficiency and seamlessness, this workshop invites participants to examine AI systems that strategically slow down decision-making when necessary to mitigate automation bias, cognitive offloading, and over-trust, ultimately fostering accuracy, responsibility, and human oversight. Such friction-in-design encompasses strategies that encourage users to reflect before acting, such as requiring justification before accepting AI recommendations, displaying confidence scores with uncertainty visualisations, or using explainability mechanisms that slow decision-making to reinforce human oversight. This workshop fosters interdisciplinary dialogue across AI research, cognitive science, HCI, and governance to ensure AI systems empower users rather than encourage unchecked reliance. The program will feature keynote presentations by leading experts in academia and industry, author presentations, and interactive discussions to advance the discourse on cognitively engaging and responsible AI design. Keynote speakers include: • Prof. Federico Cabitza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) – Expert in AI-assisted decision-making and medical AI. • Bart Van Leeuwen (Fire Services Expert, Netherlands) – Expert in human factors and situational awareness in high-risk environments. **Topics of Interest** We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on topics including, but not limited to: • Design Principles for Cognitive Engagement • Measuring and mitigating automation bias, algorithmic aversion, and cognitive offloading • Ethical and Governance Perspectives on Friction-in-Design • Applications, Case Studies and Experimental Findings We encourage submissions from a variety of disciplines, including AI, HCI, cognitive science, law, philosophy, and beyond. **Submission Details** • Types of Submissions: Extended Abstracts (500-1,000 words) • Format: CEURART-WS style preferred • Submission Portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025 • Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published in the HHAI 2025 Workshop Proceedings on CEUR-WS. Authors of accepted contributions are required to attend the workshop in-person and register to the HHAI25 conference (single-day registration available, details TBA). **Important Dates** • Paper Submission Deadline: April 4, 2025 (AoE) • Notification of Acceptance: May 2, 2025 • Camera-Ready Submission: TBD (authors will be invited to expand their contributions following workshop discussions) • Workshop Date: June 10, 2025 **Beyond the Workshop** Our aim is to foster a research network. Authors from all editions, if desired, will be invited to participate in future initiatives, including knowledge exchanges, collaborative publications, special journal issues, and online lecture series. **Organising & Programme Committee** • Chiara Natali (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy & IDSIA, SUPSI, Switzerland) • Mohammad Naiseh (Bournemouth University, UK) • Brett Frischmann (Villanova University, USA) • Programme Committee: full list available at https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home For more information, visit our website: https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home Contact: chiara [dot] natali [at] unimib.it

20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025) : Last Mile for Additonal Contributions

by Announce

*** Last Mile for Additional Contributions *** 20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025) May 5-7, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://2025.persuasivetech.org (*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in CCIS ***) (*** Submission Deadline: March 1, 2025 (firm!) ***) In a world in which technology is increasingly present in people’s lives, and changing human behavior and attitudes is often the key to solving many societal and personal problems, studying how technology might be used to influence humans (in their behavior, attitudes and information processing), is paramount. Persuasive Technology is a vibrant interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design, development and evaluation of interactive technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes and/or behaviors through persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. The research community aims at enriching people’s lives in various domains such as health and sustainability by supporting people in setting and achieving their own goals, thus helping them change their behavior. The 2025 conference will be hosted in Limassol, Cyprus at the 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina. The previous successful conferences have been organized in Wollongong, Limassol, Eindhoven, Stanford, Oulu, Claremont, Copenhagen, Columbus, Linköping, Sydney, Padua, Chicago, Salzburg, Amsterdam, and Waterloo. The conference series seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia working with various topics of persuasive technology. SCOPE The scope of the conference includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: • Persuasive systems’ design • Behavior change support systems • Interaction with persuasive systems, interfaces, visualization • Interactive agents in persuasive systems • (Generative) AI for persuasive technology • Tailored and personalized persuasion • Gamification for persuasion • Evaluation and validation of persuasive applications • Fitting methods for development, evaluation and implementation of persuasive systems • Optimizing engagement with persuasive systems • Software architectures and technical infrastructures for persuasive systems • Smart environments, e.g. IoT, and persuasion • Digital Marketing, eCommerce, eTourism and SMART ecosystems • Motivational, cognitive and perceptual factors in persuasive technology • Application domains for persuasive technologies such as safety, healthy living, sustainable behaviors, learning and training, marketing and commerce, work environments, organizations • Positive technology • Humanizing and/or dehumanizing effects of persuasive technology • Values and ethics in persuasive technology • Privacy, perceived security and trust in persuasive technology • Resilience and counter-persuasion • Detecting persuasive strategies in social media posts • Encouraging adherence to safety measures in pandemic situations Questions that we hope to be addressed include, but are not limited to: • How to recognize and demonstrate the real life effects of persuasive technology on people’s attitudes and behaviours? • How to conduct studies that not just show their effectiveness but are also able to explain in more detail why a design or intervention works? • How to design an evaluation study so that it yields insights that are applicable to other designs or interventions? • How theoretical insight can help improve application and/or intervention planning and design? • How can design and intervention studies improve theory? SUBMISSION TYPES All accepted papers in the different categories of additional contributions will appear in the adjunct conference proceedings volume to be published by Springer in the CCIS series (https://www.springer.com/series/7899).

Extended deadline: [CFP] 1st International Workshop on Web3 Applications and the eVolution of dEcentralized finance (WAVE) 2025 @ IEEE ISCC 2025

by Lorenzo Perinello

*CFP: 1st International Workshop on Web3 Applications and the eVolution of dEcentralized finance (WAVE) 2025 @ IEEE ISCC 2025* https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/wave2025/home 2-5 July 2025, Bologna, Italy Accepted papers will be published by IEEE and will be available via the IEEE Xplore. *Motivation and Rationale* Web3 and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) are two key factors of the new Internet era. They are redefining the landscape of digital communications and distributed systems, offering new opportunities for secure, resilient, and scalable applications. The worldwide adoption of Web3 is reshaping how users experience Internet services by including concepts such as decentralization, democratization and rewarding in existing services. The main engine of Web3 is blockchain technology. However, there are numerous areas where there is room for improvement. To begin with, most Web3 applications revolve around DeFi, however, the decentralisation offered by blockchain technology could help plenty of scenarios. Promising scenarios are supply chains, health, decentralized storage, data sharing, power grids, virtual worlds (like the Metaverse) and many more. Additionally, there are other scenarios where Web3 could have a meaningful impact, including IoT, vehicular networks, cloud and edge computing, digital identities, intellectual property management, digital twins, and integration with the physical world. DeFi is still quite far from perfect. Indeed, fungible and non-fungible assets are constantly evolving to include more advanced functionalities as so to increase their adoption. Moreover, DeFi was shown to be susceptible to malicious activity, including fake NFTs, sleepminting, washtrading, rug pull, pump and dump, Maximal Extractable Value and other scams. Finding solutions to foresee and prevent such malevolent practices becomes crucial for the true adoption of this technology. Lastly, blockchain technology has some inherent limitations that are still to be addressed, including creating efficient consensus protocols for public blockchains, and secure channels for transaction confirmation among others. The Web3 Applications and the eVolution of dEcentralized finance (WAVE) workshop analyses the technological challenges and the potential of Web3 and DeFi applications. By bringing together researchers and practitioners, the workshop aims to attract contributions that can discuss how these emerging technologies can shape the future of blockchain, and address the challenges of their adoption. Papers on both theoretical and design aspects are welcomed, which describe and evaluate novel design methods and system prototypes. The workshop also welcomes work-in-progress and position papers. *Topics* We welcome submission on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: Web3 Applications and Technologies Web3 storage decentralization and data sharing Novel Web3 applications (IoT, networks, cloud computing) DLTs and Blockchain Technology Blockchain security and performance Adoption of blockchain in innovative scenarios Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and similars (e.g. GameFi, SocialFi) Application of DeFi to novel scenarios DeFi vulnerability identification and mitigation New DeFi services Decentralized Social Networking: analysis and applications Decentralized Technology for the Metaverse NFTs analysis and applications AI for Web3 and DeFi Privacy, scalability, and governance Networking and communications for Web3 and DeFi Solutions for safe online environments *Submission* Submissions will be made via EDAS using the following link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=33279. Note that accepted papers of up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2025 proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ISCC proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, DBLP and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas. *Important Dates* Papers submission: *[Extended Deadline] *March 9th, 2025 (AoE, UCT -12) Notification of acceptance: March 20, 2025 Camera-ready paper due: April 14, 2025 Workshop: July 2-5, 2025 (tbc)

*** Fourth Call for Papers (Research/Industry), Tools & Demos, and Workshop Proposals *** 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025 (*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***) The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to present and discuss the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the field of software architecture research and practice. The 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus). SCOPE The theme for ECSA 2025 is “impactful software architecture”. The software architecture discipline has had a critical role in shaping robust, scalable, and maintainable systems. We are interested in learning about software architecture principles and practices, emergence trends and case studies highlighting strategic architectural choices that can lead to enhanced performance, improved collaboration, and long-term sustainability. The overarching question is how these architectural principles and practices, both well-established and emerging, are making an impact in real-world systems, and how that impact is being felt across various domains, from enterprise systems to more novel areas like, e.g., AI-driven or autonomous applications? The Program Committee of the 19th European Conference on Software Architecture seeks submissions of original and unpublished high-quality papers describing fundamental and applied research; new methods, approaches, and processes; novel applications; education and training in software architecture; and experience reports on all topics related to software architecture. We particularly encourage papers that demonstrate that diversity in gender, culture, religion, country, etc. are key factors for success and innovation in software architecture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Foundational principles of software architecture • Relationship of requirements engineering and software architecture • Quality attributes and software architectures • Architecture practices for secure, explainable, and trustworthy software • Architecture design and analysis • Architecture description languages and meta-models • Architecture verification and validation • Management of architectural knowledge, decisions, and rationale • Architecture patterns, styles, and tactics; reference architectures • Architecture viewpoints and views • Architecture conformance • Software architecture virtualization and visualization • Architecture-centric process models and frameworks • Software architecture and agile, incremental, iterative, and continuous development • Component-based models and deployment; middleware • Software architecture and system architecture • Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software engineering • Ethics, cultural, economic, business, social, human, and managerial aspects of software architecture • Architecture and technical debt • Architecting for sustainable and environment friendly systems • Applying AI and LLMs in software architecture and architecting for AI and LLM intensive systems • Software architecture education • Cross-disciplinary approaches to software architecture • Architectures for reconfigurable and self-adaptive systems • Architectural concerns of autonomic systems • Software architecture applied to new and emerging areas, such as the cloud/edge, big data, blockchain, cyber-physical systems, IoT, autonomous systems, systems-of-systems, energy- aware software, quantum computing, AI-enabled systems • Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews, and mapping studies in software architecture • Diversity, equity, and inclusion in activities related to software architecture RESEARCH PAPERS ECSA 2025 seeks four types of papers for the research track: • Research papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) which describe novel contributions to software architecture research (submissions should cover work that has a sound scientific/technological basis and has been validated) • Education and training papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that address methodologies, experiences and best practices for teaching and training software architecture • Experience reports (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that cover innovative implementations, novel applications, insightful performance results and experience in applying software architecture research advances to practical situations and systems • Short papers (max. 8 pages in LNCS style) that present novel and preliminary work-in- progress or challenges in a topic of software architecture research, education, and training. Submissions must have a sound basis, but not necessarily be validated in full. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Papers will be selected based on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance. All contributions must be original, not published, accepted, or submitted for publication elsewhere. Contravention of this concurrent submission policy will be deemed a serious breach of ethics, and appropriate action will be taken in all such cases. Plagiarism checking will be conducted and any paper reporting more than a 20% match with published work will be desk-rejected. To note is that research papers, education and training papers, and experience reports that are rejected in their categories may be re-evaluated as short papers only if the committee decides on rejection of the full paper on the basis that it presents preliminary work. The research track of ECSA 2025 supports an Open Science policy. We encourage all contributing authors to disclose (anonymized and curated) data/artifacts to increase reproducibility. Note that sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance. Upon submission to the research track, authors are required: • To make their artifacts available to the program committee (via a link to an anonymous repository) and provide instructions on how to access this data in the paper; or • To include in the paper an explanation as to why this is not possible or desirable; and • To indicate why they do not intend to make their data or study materials publicly available upon acceptance, if that is the case While sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance, authors are required to include a Data Availability statement after the Conclusions section in a section named "Data Availability". This statement should explain whether or not data and/or artifacts are available or how they could be accessed (or not). Upon acceptance, papers with Open Science artifacts (e.g., data, tools, etc.) will be invited to upload their artifacts into the ECSA Zenodo community (https://zenodo.org/communities/ecsa/) to make them accessible and visible to the ECSA community. Sharing artifacts via the ECSA Zenodo community is required for authors to be eligible for the best Open Artifact award. All contributions must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). Page limits include figures and references. Contributions need to be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair to the ECSA 2025 Research Track: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2025. Please select the “Research Track” in EasyChair for your submission and click "Continue". The proceedings will be published by Springer as part of the LNCS series. We also plan to organize a Journal Special Issue on the theme of ECSA 2025 and to invite authors of selected papers to submit an extended version of their research. INDUSTRY PAPERS The Industry Track at ECSA 2025 brings together practicing software architects and software architecture researchers from regional, European, and worldwide communities. We are seeking contributions from industry that share challenges, practical solutions, successful practices, failures, and lessons learned while analyzing, designing, implementing, evaluating, and evolving software architectures. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following themes: • Experience with architectures for emerging technologies, like LLM, and Agent-based system • Domain-specific challenges for software architects and architectures • Architecture specification and documentation • Architectural patterns, tactics, and tools • Practices and methods supporting architecture design, evaluation and evolution • Integration of architectural practices and methods with other software engineering approaches/practices/methods (e.g. Agile) • Social and organizational aspects, like human-machine, human-AI interactions, human-in-the-loop The ECSA 2025 Industry track aims to contribute to bridging the gap between academia and industrial practice by establishing an open communication and discussion environment. It will offer researchers and practitioners the opportunity to interact with fellow professionals and develop new ideas and skills for addressing industrial problems and collaborations. There are three ways to contribute: Full Papers (up to 16 pages in Springer LNCS style) describing best practices and experience from applying novel approaches to large-scale industrial projects in the context of software architecture. Submissions will be selected based on originality, quality, soundness, practical relevance, and potential for discussion. Short Papers and Presentations (6-10 pages in Springer LNCS style) outlining presentations on practices and experience related to software architecture from the industry. Submissions will be selected based on originality, practical relevance, and potential for discussion. Software Architecture Showcases (6 pages in Springer LNCS style) demonstrating a specific real-world architecture (including its flaws) together with a discussion of the context, challenges, and/or process that led to its present form. It can be formulated as an abstract outlining the architecture to be presented, preferably together with links to externally available work products. Submissions will be selected based on the offered insights into real architectural work, work products, and learnings related to architecture. All contributions need to be written in English, must be original, not published, accepted, or submitted for publication elsewhere. If accepted, each contribution needs to be presented by one of the authors who is registered at the conference. All contributions must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). Page limits include figures and references. Contributions need to be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair to the ECSA 2025 Research Track: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2025. Please select the “Industry Track” in EasyChair for your submission and click "Continue". TOOLS AND DEMOS The Tools and Demonstrations (Tools & Demos) Track provides an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent advances, ideas, experiences, and challenges in the field of Software Architecture by means of Tools & Demos presentations. Tools & Demos papers are intended to address any aspect of: (i) tool support for software architectures, or (ii) demonstrate results about the application of architectural approaches. Papers submitted to this track can belong to two distinct categories: • Tool papers: These papers deal with the development and evaluation of tools to support software architecture. They may present new tools, extensions to existing tools, or evaluations of the effectiveness of tools. The aim is to provide a platform for the exchange of innovative tools and techniques that help design, implement and analyze software architectures. • Demo papers: These papers will demonstrate concepts, techniques or systems related to software architectures. The focus is on presenting practical applications and implementations of architectural approaches. Demo papers may include live demonstrations, prototypes or simulations that emphasize the benefits and potential of specific architecture solutions. Both Tool Papers and Demo Papers contribute to the advancement of the field by providing insights, experiences and practical solutions related to software architectures. Tools and Demos should not be used as a means for commercial advertisement. We will strive to keep ECSA’s tradition to select the Best Tools & Demo Paper, awarded during the conference. The selection of the best tool and demo paper will be made based on the votes of the attendants of the conference. Submissions of Tools & Demos papers should describe the work, how it relates to other industrial or research efforts, including references, what the expected benefits are, a video of the tool or demo (if one exists), and the web-page and/or open-source repository for the tool (if one exists). All submissions must conform to the LNCS template and must not exceed 8 pages. Tools & Demos submissions should provide a link to a video, with audio commentary, of a maximum of ten minutes in length, with high resolution (e.g., details of the tool’s functionality should be clearly visible). The video must be uploaded on a server (e.g., YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox), and the link must be included in the submission for its evaluation (as a footnote on the first page of the submission or as links after the abstract of the submission). In addition, it is possible to provide open material, e.g., source code and/or a running instance of the tool. The links to the video and (if applicable) the additional material should be included in the contribution after the abstract and before the introduction sections. Paper submissions must be made electronically via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2024 conference, selecting the “Tools & Demos Track”: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2025 . The selection criteria of Tools & Demos papers will consider their originality, relevance for the ECSA audience, technical soundness, and presentation quality. Each submission will be evaluated by at least two PC members, in a single-step review process. The accepted papers will be included in the ECSA 2025 companion volume to be published in Springer LNCS series.

Journal-First. The aim of the Journal-First (JF) submission category is to further enrich the program of ICTSS, as well as to provide an overall more flexible path to publication and dissemination of original research that is within the scope of ICTSS. A submission in this category must adhere to the following criteria: ■ It should be clearly within the scope of the conference. ■ It should be recent: it should have been accepted and made publicly available in a journal (online or in print) by January 1, 2023 or more recently. ■ It has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, Journal- First tracks of other conferences or workshops. ■ The submission has to be in the form of a 4-page extended abstract and has to provide a concise summary of the published journal paper. ■ It must be marked as such in the submission’s, and must explicitly include full bibliographic details (including a DOI) of the journal publication they are based on. Since the referenced journal papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the corresponding journals, submissions in the JF category will not be reviewed again for technical content. Submissions will be judged on the basis of the above criteria, but also considering how well they would complement the conference’s technical program. Accepted submissions in this category will be part of the proceedings of ICTSS 2025, with the title equal to the original title of the article with the prefix. The submission link is: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ictss2025 The papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS volume.

CFP: 1st International Workshop on Web3 Applications and the eVolution of dEcentralized finance (WAVE) 2025 @ IEEE ISCC 2025

by Lorenzo Perinello

*CFP: 1st International Workshop on Web3 Applications and the eVolution of dEcentralized finance (WAVE) 2025 @ IEEE ISCC 2025* https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/wave2025/home 2-5 July 2025, Bologna, Italy Accepted papers will be published by IEEE and will be available via the IEEE Xplore. Motivation and Rationale Web3 and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) are two key factors of the new Internet era. They are redefining the landscape of digital communications and distributed systems, offering new opportunities for secure, resilient, and scalable applications. The worldwide adoption of Web3 is reshaping how users experience Internet services by including concepts such as decentralization, democratization and rewarding in existing services. The main engine of Web3 is blockchain technology. However, there are numerous areas where there is room for improvement. To begin with, most Web3 applications revolve around DeFi, however, the decentralisation offered by blockchain technology could help plenty of scenarios. Promising scenarios are supply chains, health, decentralized storage, data sharing, power grids, virtual worlds (like the Metaverse) and many more. Additionally, there are other scenarios where Web3 could have a meaningful impact, including IoT, vehicular networks, cloud and edge computing, digital identities, intellectual property management, digital twins, and integration with the physical world. DeFi is still quite far from perfect. Indeed, fungible and non-fungible assets are constantly evolving to include more advanced functionalities as so to increase their adoption. Moreover, DeFi was shown to be susceptible to malicious activity, including fake NFTs, sleepminting, washtrading, rug pull, pump and dump, Maximal Extractable Value and other scams. Finding solutions to foresee and prevent such malevolent practices becomes crucial for the true adoption of this technology. Lastly, blockchain technology has some inherent limitations that are still to be addressed, including creating efficient consensus protocols for public blockchains, and secure channels for transaction confirmation among others. The Web3 Applications and the eVolution of dEcentralized finance (WAVE) workshop analyses the technological challenges and the potential of Web3 and DeFi applications. By bringing together researchers and practitioners, the workshop aims to attract contributions that can discuss how these emerging technologies can shape the future of blockchain, and address the challenges of their adoption. Papers on both theoretical and design aspects are welcomed, which describe and evaluate novel design methods and system prototypes. The workshop also welcomes work-in-progress and position papers. Topics We welcome submission on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: Web3 Applications and Technologies Web3 storage decentralization and data sharing Novel Web3 applications (IoT, networks, cloud computing) DLTs and Blockchain Technology Blockchain security and performance Adoption of blockchain in innovative scenarios Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and similars (e.g. GameFi, SocialFi) Application of DeFi to novel scenarios DeFi vulnerability identification and mitigation New DeFi services Decentralized Social Networking: analysis and applications Decentralized Technology for the Metaverse NFTs analysis and applications AI for Web3 and DeFi Privacy, scalability, and governance Networking and communications for Web3 and DeFi Solutions for safe online environments Submission Submissions will be made via EDAS using the following link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=33279. Note that accepted papers of up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2025 proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ISCC proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, DBLP and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas. Important Dates Papers submission: [Extended Deadline] February 10, 2025 (AoE, UCT -12) Notification of acceptance: March 14, 2025 Camera-ready paper due: April 14, 2025 Workshop: July 2-5, 2025 (tbc)

*** Call for Late Breaking Results *** 20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025) May 5-7, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://2025.persuasivetech.org (*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***) In a world in which technology is increasingly present in people’s lives, and changing human behavior and attitudes is often the key to solving many societal and personal problems, studying how technology might be used to influence humans (in their behavior, attitudes and information processing), is paramount. Persuasive Technology is a vibrant interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design, development and evaluation of interactive technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes and/or behaviors through persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. The research community aims at enriching people’s lives in various domains such as health and sustainability by supporting people in setting and achieving their own goals, thus helping them change their behavior. The 2025 conference will be hosted in Limassol, Cyprus at the 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina. The previous successful conferences have been organized in Wollongong, Limassol, Eindhoven, Stanford, Oulu, Claremont, Copenhagen, Columbus, Linköping, Sydney, Padua, Chicago, Salzburg, Amsterdam, and Waterloo. The conference series seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia working with various topics of persuasive technology. SCOPE The scope of the conference includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: • Persuasive systems’ design • Behavior change support systems • Interaction with persuasive systems, interfaces, visualization • Interactive agents in persuasive systems • (Generative) AI for persuasive technology • Tailored and personalized persuasion • Gamification for persuasion • Evaluation and validation of persuasive applications • Fitting methods for development, evaluation and implementation of persuasive systems • Optimizing engagement with persuasive systems • Software architectures and technical infrastructures for persuasive systems • Smart environments, e.g. IoT, and persuasion • Digital Marketing, eCommerce, eTourism and SMART ecosystems • Motivational, cognitive and perceptual factors in persuasive technology • Application domains for persuasive technologies such as safety, healthy living, sustainable behaviors, learning and training, marketing and commerce, work environments, organizations • Positive technology • Humanizing and/or dehumanizing effects of persuasive technology • Values and ethics in persuasive technology • Privacy, perceived security and trust in persuasive technology • Resilience and counter-persuasion • Detecting persuasive strategies in social media posts • Encouraging adherence to safety measures in pandemic situations Questions that we hope to be addressed include, but are not limited to: • How to recognize and demonstrate the real life effects of persuasive technology on people’s attitudes and behaviours? • How to conduct studies that not just show their effectiveness but are also able to explain in more detail why a design or intervention works? • How to design an evaluation study so that it yields insights that are applicable to other designs or interventions? • How theoretical insight can help improve application and/or intervention planning and design? • How can design and intervention studies improve theory?
