*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The development of Smart Learning Ecosystems is of strategic relevance
for all the territorial ambits on which they insist, either because they
can act as a bulwark against degradation in the most critical areas, or
because they can contribute to increasing the well-being of students and
their communities of reference; moreover, they can also act as a driver
for sustainable development of the territories.
The achievement of an adequate level of smartness in the learning
ecosystems is, however, a process that needs a long-term vision,
multidisciplinary competencies, an attitude to understand people and
contexts and to mediate points of view, a dynamic approach to resilience
to keep on track and achieve, step-by-step, the foreseen goals: in
short, an attitude to design and implement sustainable projects and
processes aimed at achieving a people-centered smart environments and
education.
Climate change, pandemics, wars (more or less uncovered), and the energy
and food crises triggered by them, all point towards the need to change
our lifestyles and make them fully sustainable. The SDGs [1] and the
cultural and technological transitions they foster – such as the green
transition – therefore become new challenges with which smart learning
ecosystems and communities must measure themselves to support the
education of competent and responsible future citizens.
Citizens whose future behaviour implies the entrenchment of a sense of
membership [2] and the development of meta-design competencies [3]-,
i.e., the competence of knowing how to explore and manage, the ambiguity
and uncertainty that changes will bring.
Within such an evolving scenario, we also have to face the amplifying
power of digital technologies, which – as discussed in the UNESCO
document “The futures of education for participation in 2050” [4] –
could contribute, through educational processes, to the development of a
fairer and more equitable society and, at the same time, to more careful
use of resources; but, on the other hand, if not adequately utilized,
they could also lead to deepening the existing gaps. Thus, we have to
face a parallel digital transition that raises many questions about its
impact on humans and the environment, including its energy
sustainability. The digital transition – which complements the other
cultural transitions induced by SDGs (giving rise to multiple twin
transitions) – thus, left us with complex questions about when, how, and
why to use digital technologies in and for learning, that can be
approached through multiple perspectives and angles. How can they
contribute sustainably, to transform education, support cultural
transitions, reduce inequalities, and at the same time, empower
individuals according to their needs, expectations, and talents?

General topics of interest acting, also as background and frame for the
twin transitions, can be grouped under three big themes: places for
smart education, people in place- centered design for smart education,
supportive learning technologies and tools for smart education. All can
be related to studies that develop on a post-pandemic view and strategy
for a better learning world, namely nurtured by the pertinence of smart
learning ecosystems as engines of the twin transitions, like the green
and digital one.

===========================================
*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
This special issue is intended to investigate human-centred and
design-led approaches to Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). Robotic
capabilities are diversifying and, with those, so are opportunities and
challenges for HRC. With the intention of leveraging the complementary
skills of people and robots, HRC has a wide range of applications,
including manufacturing, emergency response, education, healthcare, and
the home. Furthermore, with collaborative robots, or “cobots”,
moving into “the wild”, research that goes beyond expanding mechanical
robotic capabilities is becoming more critical. As robots are no longer
isolated mechanical tools operating at their own pace and in their own
confined space, we call for research on how to design for close
collaboration between robots and people.
There is a need for diverse approaches to understand and design
collaborative robotic systems from a human-centred rather than
technology-driven perspective, thereby empowering people in the
collaboration. Questions relevant to be answered for design-led,
human-centred HRC include:
• What are methodological approaches to HRC research that emphasise the
role of people?
• How can HRC become accessible to diverse populations, e.g., through
conveying robot intent in various modalities or through novel
interaction approaches?
• How can we design for various human-robot configurations, e.g.,
considering different robot behaviours in changing environments and
situations?
• How can robots adapt to fluctuations in human performance and working
rhythms?
Given the diverse range of applications for HRC, there is an opportunity
for multiple disciplines to come together to explore the many dimensions
of this emerging field. Collaboration between disciplines such as
robotics, interaction design, human factors, psychology, architecture,
and more is crucial for understanding and addressing the many challenges
of designing inclusive, adaptable, trustworthy, effective, and safe HRC
systems. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we can develop more
comprehensive solutions that leverage the strengths of each discipline
and create a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in
human-robot collaboration.
Investigating implications of people collaborating closely with robots
is critical to shaping the future of HRC. These implications include
ethical and social aspects of integrating robots into particular
application domains and understanding the impact of robots in terms of,
e.g., people’s daily routines and life experiences. Additionally, it is
essential to examine how HRC can impact workforce dynamics and job roles
as more organizations integrate robots into their operations.
By exploring the implications of HRC, we can (1) identify challenges and
opportunities and (2) develop strategies for ensuring that HRC systems
benefit and support people. The guest editors encourage submissions that
consider these aspects.
-----------------------------------------------------------
*Topics of Interest*
-----------------------------------------------------------
We invite researchers drawing upon design-based research approaches to
share their theoretical, methodological, or practical perspectives. We
welcome submissions that report on qualitative or quantitative studies,
systematic reviews or scoping reviews, as well as theoretical and
reflective pieces.
The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue
includes, but is not limited to:
• Human-centred investigations of HRC
• Design-led approaches to HRC
• Robot adaptability
• HRC “in the wild”, e.g., methodological perspectives and/or studies of
particular domains
• Inclusive design and accessibility for HRC
• Critical and speculative design approaches to HRC
• Participatory design in HRC
• Ethical issues for HRC
• Sustainable design in HRC
• Design of trustworthy collaborative robots
• HRC and architectural methods and design
• Empirical and human-centred evaluations of HRC
• Mixed human-robot team collaboration
• Playfulness and/or gamification for HRC

wt2024(a)iui.acm.org<mailto:wt2024@iui.acm.org>
Call for Proposals
We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference.
Tutorials are designed to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent user interfaces, and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Note: We encourage you to contact the chairs with your ideas (wt2024(a)iui.acm.org<mailto:wt2024@iui.acm.org>), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal.
We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshop and tutorial formats and activities, including but not limited to:
* "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper submission and review processes.
* Interactive formats to explore a certain topic during the workshop (e.g., through breakout rooms); such workshops may have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the outcome of the interactive discussions.
* "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).
* "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to ask participants to submit a position statement.
* "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an existing large-scale (e.g. NSF, EU, etc. funded) project.
* "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics with individual or team participation.
* Tutorials on a specific topic relevant to IUI; for example, methods and approaches in HCI and/or AI, specific techniques or algorithms to develop intelligent user interfaces, etc.
We invite submissions of proposals for full-day and half-day workshops or tutorials. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop and tutorial chairs.
Workshops with few submissions may be canceled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise restructured. The organizers of accepted workshops and tutorials are responsible for producing a call for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop and tutorial organizers will maintain their own website with information about the workshop or tutorial and the ACM IUI 2024 website will refer to this website. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation, collection, and review process. A workshop and tutorials summary will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2024, and we will separately publish a joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through CEUR or similar).
Proposal Format
Workshop or tutorial proposals should be a maximum of four pages long (single-column format).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL PAPERS and TECHNICAL NOTES SUBMISSIONS
EICS Full Papers and Technical Notes are published as articles in the Journal Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACM HCI - EICS series). There are three submission deadlines per year, and authors can choose when to submit. Papers follow the traditional journal model of reviewing: papers may be accepted after submission and review, or may be recommended for revisions and re-submission to the next round to enable authors to refine papers based on reviewer recommendations.
Submissions for the journal of this venue should present original and mature research work within the scope of the conference. Note that accepted journal papers can be either regular research papers, or technical notes. Technical Notes are shorter, more focused contributions that focus specifically on system contributions and technical work. Elucidating technical details of complex interactive systems, preferably ensuring the work can be reproduced or put to practice, is a primary objective of a Technical Note. Tech Notes require an illustrative example of the system, and they can, but do not need to, be validated by formal user evaluations or user studies. Validation can also be done through, e.g., simulation, feasibility, or comparisons. Tech Notes will be judged on their technical merits and relevance to interactive systems concerns.
There are no length restrictions on Full Papers and Technical Notes, nor any limit to the number of references that may be included. We advise authors to ensure the length of their papers is in function of the contributions. Concise and clear is often to be preferred over lengthy and verbose.
Full Papers and Technical Notes should be written in the ACM format; see
https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions
The PACMHCI-EICS deadline for the Second Round of Full Papers and Technical Notes submissions is 26 October 2023.

*** Last Call for Workshop Proposals ***
36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering
(CAiSE'24)
June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/
(*** Submission Deadline: October 13, 2023 AoE ***)
CAiSE is a well-established, highly visible conference series on Advanced Information Systems
(IS) Engineering. It covers all relevant topics in the area, including methodologies and
approaches for IS engineering, innovative platforms, architectures and technologies, and
engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE conferences also have the tradition of hosting
workshops in related fields. Workshops are intended to focus on particular topics and provide
ample room for discussions of new ideas and developments.
CAiSE 2024, the 36th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the main conference, related to the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging
topics and targeting innovative papers in special focus areas.
Prospective workshop organisers should specify whether they plan an event with a
presentation-oriented track, a discussion-oriented track, or both.
Presentation-oriented track
This track focuses on accepted papers with presentations followed by Q&A sessions, akin to
conferences. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to be published in a joint
volume in the Springer LNBIP series. Submissions must conform to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP
format and should not exceed 12 pages. According to the Springer standards, the overall
acceptance rate cannot exceed 45%-50%.
Discussion-oriented track
This track emphasizes discussions facilitated by paper presentations revolving around novel
ideas and early-stage research. Since the main criterion for paper acceptance in such
workshops is relevance and potential for raising discussion, they are not expected to have
their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume.
The edition of a joint proceedings volume next to the LNBIP one for the discussion-oriented
track is underway. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication.
Details on this aspect will be provided separately.
Proposal submission
Workshop proposals should be submitted via EasyChair at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024
Please select the Author role and the CAiSE 2024 Workshops track.
Prior contact with the workshop chairs (caise2024-workshops(a)easychair.org) is encouraged.
The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshop,
eliciting high-quality submissions, organizing the reviewing process of their workshop’s
papers according to the principles and guidelines of CAiSE, and collecting camera-ready
copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting rules). Organizers
(including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop.
Detailed instructions for workshop proposers
The proposal (up to 1000 words) should cover the following points:
• Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (3-4 June 2024)
• Workshop type (presentation-oriented or discussion-oriented, or both).
• Information on the organizers (PC chairs, other organizers who will be present at the workshop or are otherwise involved, including the person responsible for web presence and communication). Please include names, addresses, and affiliations, indicating the main responsible person. The submission should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Please specify at least one PC chair. PC chairs will not be allowed to submit papers to the workshop, but other organizers (who will have no oversight over the review process) are encouraged to do so.
• Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list the workshop topics. How does the focus of the workshop differ from the main conference? How does the focus of the workshop differ from other potential CAiSE events? (Proponents are advised to look at the workshops and working conferences held at CAiSE 2022 and CAiSE 2023 and differentiate your scope from theirs.)
• Organization of the workshop: Specify the type of contributions, distribution into sessions, type of sessions, etc. Mention if you plan to have any keynote speaker (please note that the conference organization will not cover fees, travel expenses, accommodation and registration costs of keynote speakers). Include any special requirements regarding infrastructure and room layout.
• Tentative list of PC members.
• An estimate of the number of papers to be accepted, and the number of attendees. If applicable, short information on previous editions of the workshop series (this should include submission, acceptance, and attendance information). Short information on your plans for advertising your workshop and making it highly visible.
Services provided by CAiSE
• EasyChair installation for the management of the workshop submissions (each organizer will be made chair of their own workshop).
• Publication of papers in an LNBIP volume for presentation-oriented tracks, and in a CEUR-WS.org online volume for discussion-oriented tracks.
• One free workshop-only registration if more than 10 people are registered for the workshop. Organizers willing to attend the whole event (main conference) will have to register for the conference at their own expense.
• Local organizational infrastructure and administrative support (registration, badges, refreshments, beamers, screens, etc.). In particular, all venue issues (rooms, meals and catering, social dinner, etc.) as well as the management of the registrations and the financing/administrative issues will be handled by the CAiSE Organization Board and are not under the responsibility of the workshop organizers.
• Advertisement of the workshop on the CAiSE 2024 homepage and mailings.
Please note that the workshop may be canceled if the number of registrations is less than 10.
Also, in the case of workshops with topics that are similar, two or more workshops may be
suggested to merge together.

ACM IUI 2024: 29th International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces
Greenville, South Carolina, USA
March 18-21, 2024
ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) 2024 is the 29th annual premiere venue, where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies, techniques and systems.
In addition to traditional IUI themes, we add this year a new theme of Large Language Models (LLMS) for the people. As LLMs become more powerful and more accessible, end users can interact with them in various ways and a wide variety of new applications become feasible. This raises new research questions regarding the interaction between users and generative AI models, including the design of new interactions and intelligent systems, when to trust systems powered with LLMs, fairness in LLMs, studying the effect of such models on people’s work and aligning user expectations with model capabilities.
As always, contributions to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. We strongly believe that diverse insights are critical to the vitality of the IUI community and the conference will accept papers for both long and short oral presentations.
** Topics **
IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Usable Large Language Models and Generative AI
* End-user interaction with LLMs and Multimodal models (e.g., chatbots, image generation)
* LLMs in the workplace
* Trustworthy LLMs
* Bias in LLMs
* The effects of LLMs use on creative tasks
* Personalized user interaction with LLMs
* Prompt Engineering
* User control and steering of LLMs (e.g. RLHF)
- Human-centered AI methods, approaches, and systems
* Explainable AI methods
* Democratization of AI
* Persuasive technologies in IUI
* Privacy and security of IUI
* Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation
* User modelling for intelligent interfaces
* User-adaptive interaction and personalization
* IUI for crowd computing and human computation
- Computational innovation
* Interactive machine learning
* Human-in-the loop AI testing and debugging
* Human-centered recommendation and recommender systems
* Human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning

* Generative AI
** Papers **
We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration elsewhere. This year, there is no page limit on the papers (however, we strongly encourage authors to not exceed 10,000 words) and no formal distinction between long and short papers will be made. However, we expect the paper length to be commensurate with the scientific values and contribution of the work. Authors of papers that exceed 12,000 words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work.
Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2024" that will appear in 2025.
All accepted papers will be invited for oral presentation as part of the main conference program. Additionally, all authors of accepted papers are invited to present a poster of their work during the poster session.
** Highlights of this year **
We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work; aspects pertaining to current societal issues; diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic.
Reflection of practical and societal impact
* We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of their work (as well as its shortcomings) throughout their projects and to include a reflection on those implications in their papers, in particular how the proposed methods and insights could be applied and deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people's lives in the real world.
* We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work in terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic and its societal impact. We recognize that technology is rarely neutral --- simply by making some things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; Green, 2020). Further, given the incredibly short invention-to-application cycles for AI-related technologies, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that “somebody else” will carefully consider how an emerging intelligent user interface technology might impact the world before this technology is deployed. Because it is often difficult to anticipate the cumulative or indirect impacts of an invention, we provide a few concrete suggestions to consider throughout the research process and for reflecting on one’s work at the end.
* Our purpose is to help authors ensure that the likely societal consequences of their work are consistent with their intentions and values. For colleagues who are not yet experienced with incorporating societal impacts into their IUI research but who are willing to give it a try, we prepared some simple ideas to consider.
** Submission instructions **

* Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third person. For example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ... " is not allowed, whereas "... as shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation).
* Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being desk rejected without review.
* Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and Review at SIGCHI Conferences.
Accessibility
* Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that reviewers with vision impairments can access them, for example). The authors of accepted papers will be required to make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible Submission for detailed instructions.
* If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide captions, as described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos.

*** First Call for Papers ***
36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering
(CAiSE'24)
June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/
(*** Submission Deadline: November 24, 2023 AoE ***)
The CAiSE’24 organization calls for full papers with a special emphasis on the theme of
Information Systems in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged
as a transformative technology, revolutionizing various industries, and its significance in
Information Systems cannot be overstated. AI-powered systems have the potential to
streamline operations, enhance decision-making processes, and drive innovation across
organizations. From data analysis to automated processes, AI is reshaping the way we leverage
information in the digital age. The relevance of AI in IS extends beyond internal operations.
AI-powered predictive analytics enables organizations to forecast trends, anticipate customer
needs, and optimize resource allocation. This empowers businesses to adapt swiftly to
changing market dynamics, gain a competitive edge, and make proactive decisions. AI
algorithms can also detect anomalies and patterns that indicate potential security breaches,
contributing to robust cybersecurity measures in information systems. However, while
acknowledging the benefits, it is essential to consider the ethical implications of AI in
information systems. Ensuring data privacy, addressing bias in algorithms, and maintaining
transparency are vital aspects that need to be carefully managed and regulated to foster trust
and accountability.
In addition to offering an exciting scientific program, CAiSE’24 will feature a best paper award,
a journal special issue, and a PhD-thesis award:
• Best Paper Award‚ prize EUR 1000 (sponsored by Springer)
• A small selection of best papers will be invited to submit enhanced versions for
consideration in a special issue of Elsevier Information Systems journal dedicated to this
conference.
• PhD-Thesis Award
• Best PhD thesis of a past CAiSE Doctoral Consortium author (co-sponsored by the CAiSE
Steering Committee and Springer)
Papers should be submitted in PDF format. Submissions must conform to Springer‚ LNCS
format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references, and appendices.
Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out
of the scope of the conference, will be rejected without review. See the guidelines here:
https://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html .
The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Three to
five keywords characterizing the paper should be listed at the end of the abstract. Each paper
will be reviewed by at least two program committee members and, if positively evaluated, by
one additional program board member. The selected papers will be discussed among the paper
reviewers online and during the program board meeting. As the review process is not blind,
please indicate your name and affiliation on your submission. Accepted papers will be
presented at CAiSE’24 and published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
conference proceedings.
We invite three types of original and scientific papers. The type of submission must be
indicated in the submission system. Each contribution should explicitly address the
engineering or the operation of information systems, clearly identify the information systems
problem addressed, the expected impact of the contribution to information system engineering
or operation, and the research method used. We strongly advise authors to clearly emphasize
these aspects in their paper, including the abstract.
Technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the
field of IS Engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem
tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and its potential‚ as
well as demonstrate the benefits of the contribution through a rigorous evaluation.
Empirical papers evaluate existing problem situations including problems encountered in
practice, or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e., by empirical studies,
experiments, case studies, experience reports, simulations, etc. Scientific reflection on
problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation
presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The
research method must be sound and appropriate.
Exploratory papers describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face
a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools, new kinds of activities, or new IS
challenges. They must precisely describe the situation and demonstrate why current methods,
tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must also rigorously present
their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness in addressing the identified
situation.
The topics of contribution include but are not limited to:
• Novel Approaches to IS Engineering
◦ Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
◦ Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
◦ Big Data, Data Science and Analytics

Call for Proposals
We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference.
Tutorials are designed to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent user interfaces, and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Note: We encourage you to contact the chairs with your ideas (wt2024(a)iui.acm.org<mailto:wt2024@iui.acm.org>), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal.
We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshop and tutorial formats and activities, including but not limited to:
* "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper submission and review processes.
* Interactive formats to explore a certain topic during the workshop (e.g., through breakout rooms); such workshops may have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the outcome of the interactive discussions.
* "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).
* "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to ask participants to submit a position statement.
* "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an existing large-scale (e.g. NSF, EU, etc. funded) project.
* "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics with individual or team participation.
* Tutorials on a specific topic relevant to IUI; for example, methods and approaches in HCI and/or AI, specific techniques or algorithms to develop intelligent user interfaces, etc.
We invite submissions of proposals for full-day and half-day workshops or tutorials. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop and tutorial chairs.
Workshops with few submissions may be canceled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise restructured. The organizers of accepted workshops and tutorials are responsible for producing a call for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop and tutorial organizers will maintain their own website with information about the workshop or tutorial and the ACM IUI 2024 website will refer to this website. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation, collection, and review process. A workshop and tutorials summary will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2024, and we will separately publish a joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through CEUR or similar).
Proposal Format
Workshop or tutorial proposals should be a maximum of four pages long (single-column format). Prepare your submission using the latest templates: Word Submission Template<https://authors.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submi…>, or the LaTeX template<https://portalparts.acm.org/hippo/latex_templates/acmart-primary.zip>.

ACM IUI 2024: 29th International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces
Greenville, South Carolina, USA
March 18-21, 2024
ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) 2024 is the 29th annual premiere venue, where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies, techniques and systems.
In addition to traditional IUI themes, we add this year a new theme of Large Language Models (LLMS) for the people. As LLMs become more powerful and more accessible, end users can interact with them in various ways and a wide variety of new applications become feasible. This raises new research questions regarding the interaction between users and generative AI models, including the design of new interactions and intelligent systems, when to trust systems powered with LLMs, fairness in LLMs, studying the effect of such models on people’s work and aligning user expectations with model capabilities.
As always, contributions to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. We strongly believe that diverse insights are critical to the vitality of the IUI community and the conference will accept papers for both long and short oral presentations.
** Topics **
IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Usable Large Language Models and Generative AI

** Papers **
We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration elsewhere. This year, there is no page limit on the papers (however, we strongly encourage authors to not exceed 10,000 words) and no formal distinction between long and short papers will be made. However, we expect the paper length to be commensurate with the scientific values and contribution of the work. Authors of papers that exceed 12,000 words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work.
Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2024" that will appear in 2025.
All accepted papers will be invited for oral presentation as part of the main conference program. Additionally, all authors of accepted papers are invited to present a poster of their work during the poster session.
** Highlights of this year **
We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work; aspects pertaining to current societal issues; diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic.
Reflection of practical and societal impact
* We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of their work (as well as its shortcomings) throughout their projects and to include a reflection on those implications in their papers, in particular how the proposed methods and insights could be applied and deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people's lives in the real world.
* We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work in terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic and its societal impact. We recognize that technology is rarely neutral --- simply by making some things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; Green, 2020). Further, given the incredibly short invention-to-application cycles for AI-related technologies, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that “somebody else” will carefully consider how an emerging intelligent user interface technology might impact the world before this technology is deployed. Because it is often difficult to anticipate the cumulative or indirect impacts of an invention, we provide a few concrete suggestions to consider throughout the research process and for reflecting on one’s work at the end.
* Our purpose is to help authors ensure that the likely societal consequences of their work are consistent with their intentions and values. For colleagues who are not yet experienced with incorporating societal impacts into their IUI research but who are willing to give it a try, we prepared some simple ideas to consider.

Dear colleagues,
we are happy to announce the third episode of the UI-Engineering live
talks, which are bimonthly seminars organised by the IFIP WG 2.7/13.4 and
given by members or invited experts.
This month, prof. Davide Spano will discuss techniques for supporting end
users and novice programmers in creating XR environments, particularly for
defining their interactive behaviour. The talk will be given on * September
28, 15:30 CET *
Title: Easing XR Development for Novices and End Users
Speaker: Davide Spano
Link: https://youtube.com/live/mXDPX8CSEGQ?feature=share
Abstract:
This talk discusses a rule-based approach for enabling end-users and novice
developers to define interactive behaviours in immersive eXtended Reality
(XR) experiences. We start with a cultural and environmental preservation
case study, introducing an authoring environment for first-person
cinematographic video games based on 360-degree videos.
Then, we extend the technique to the end-user configuration of Virtual
Reality (VR) environments. The solution relies on template environments
created by expert developers and an extensible library supporting their
configuration by end-users through rules in a constrained natural language.
Finally, we show how novice developers can benefit from the same rule-based
representation, inspecting development examples defined through different
XR toolkits. Our Unity Editor plugin can identify and describe interactions
as rules, suggest similar interactions, and copy-paste interactions from
examples, even if they use different toolkits. We conclude by discussing
open questions and further extension of this research.

*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
In this special issue, we are calling for contributions dealing with
distributed online co-design with children and its wider field of
design-based learning. We are looking for both theoretical and
methodological reflections on the position of participatory design and
co-design and empirical cases that advance design practices with
children in online environments. A significant contribution of the
volume will focus on facilitation tools and techniques connected to
the contemporary challenges of distributed online design in formal
settings (i.e. K-12) or informal settings with children.
Effective techniques and tools for co-located environments (Antle et
al., 2020, Zaman et al.,2022), which foster the genuine participation of
children (Kinnula & Iivari, 2021), have been established over the years
within the child-computer interaction community. However, technologies,
tools, and techniques for distributed online co-design with children are
only beginning to emerge, with much room for new developments and the
need for adaptations. Co-design with children in online and hybrid
environments, encountered constraints in the utilization of existing
technologies and tools, and challenges when applying longstanding design
facilitation techniques (Itenge et al., 2021; Rötkönen et al., 2021;
Rötkönen et al., 2022, Winschiers-Theophilus et al., 2022,). Within
online environments, new technological affordances and methods need to
be explored, and established facilitation strategies and co-design
methods need to be amended (Bertran et al., 2022; McVeigh-Schultz &
Isbister, 2021; Walsh et al., 2015; Warren et al., 2022). The move to
online environments offers a variety of challenges but also new
opportunities (Fails et al. 2022), including the collaborative
participation of children that are geographically distributed
(Winschiers-Theophilus et al., 2022). Given the challenges, yet also the
novel opportunities, a larger collection of theoretical and empirical
work about online co-design with children and design-based learning is
required.
-----------------------------------------------------------
*Topics of Interest*
-----------------------------------------------------------
We invite researchers drawing upon design-based research approaches to
share their theoretical, methodological, or practical perspectives. We
welcome submissions that report on qualitative or quantitative studies,
systematic reviews or scoping reviews, as well as theoretical and
reflective pieces.
The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue
includes, but is not limited to:

*** First Call for Papers ***
28th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems
(ICECCS 2024)
June 19-21, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/iceccs2024/
(*** Submission Deadline: December 8, 2023 AoE ***)
Recent years have witnessed a rapidly rising emphasis on the design, implementation and
management of complex computer systems which are present in every aspect of human
activities, such as manufacturing, communications, defence, transportation, aerospace,
hazardous environments, energy, and healthcare. These complex systems are frequently
distributed over heterogeneous networks and process a large amount of data, leveraging
emerging artificial intelligence (AI), large language models, and machine learning techniques.
Complexity arises from many factors, including the dynamic environment and the scenarios
these systems operate in, demanding and sometimes conflicting requirements in functionality,
efficiency, scalability, security, dependability and adaptability, data heterogeneity, as well as
the wide range of development methodologies, programming languages and implementation
details. Performance, real-time behaviour, fault tolerance, robustness, security, adaptability,
development time and cost, and long life concerns are some of the key issues arising in the
development of such systems.
The International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS) is a
well-established event that has been held around the world for over 25 years. The goal of this
conference is to bring together industrial, academic, and government experts from a variety of
application domains and software disciplines, to discuss how the disciplines’ problems and
solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers, practitioners, tool
developers and users, and technology transfer experts are all welcome. The scope of the
conference includes long-term research issues, near-term requirements and challenges,
established complex systems, emerging promising tools, and retrospective and prospective
reflections of research and development into complex systems.
LIST OF TOPICS
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished research results, case
studies and tools. Papers are solicited in all areas related to complex computer-based systems,
including the causes of complexity and means of avoiding, controlling, or coping with
complexity. Topic areas include, but are not limited to:
Requirements, modeling and formal methods
• Requirements analysis and specification
• Model-driven development
• Model checking
• SAT/SMT solvers for software analysis and testing
AI, Complex intelligent models and complex systems
• Big data management

Different kinds of contributions are sought, including novel research, lessons learned,
experience reports, and discussions of practical problems faced by industry and user domains.
The ultimate goal is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the
interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers,
and students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both academic and
industrial papers on a given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between
industrial and academic research.

Gentili Membri di SIGCHI-Italy,
Come illustrato durante il Town Hall meeting tenutosi in occasione della
conferenza CHItaly2023 a Torino il 20 settembre, lo scorso giugno
l'Extended Board del nostro capitolo (composto da me e dai colleghi
Maristella Matera, Massimo Zancanaro, Luigi De Russis, Davide Spano, Rosa
Lanzilotti, Anna Spagnolli, Alessio Malizia) ha inviato dei commenti alla
versione beta del documento sulle linee guida curriculari ACM di Computer
Science, relativamente alla disciplina della Human Computer Interaction.
Il collega Amruth Kumar, che ha raccolto i diversi commenti alla versione
beta, mi ha informata che ora è disponibile la versione gamma al link
https://csed.acm.org/cs2023-gamma/ ma che nel frattempo il committee
continua a valutare i feedback ricevuti sulla precedente versione.
Chi fosse interessato, può scrivermi per prendere visione del documento
(versione beta) commentato da noi e prendere parte alla discussione.
Abbiamo tempo fino al 31 ottobre per inviare ulteriori commenti (questa
volta alla versione gamma), a nome del capitolo italiano di SIGCHI. Chi
riuscisse a dedicare un po' di tempo a questa attività, sarebbe il
benvenuto.
Colgo l'occasione per congratularmi con i General Chairs Cristina Gena e
Luigi De Russis e con tutti i membri del Comitato Organizzatore per
l'eccellente lavoro svolto col programma scientifico di CHItaly2023. Tutto
sullo sfondo dell'incantevole città di Torino. Come sempre, è stato un
piacere incontrare tanti di voi di persona e constatare che la nostra
comunità sta crescendo e si sta arricchendo di tanti giovani ricercatori
pieni di entusiasmo verso la disciplina dell'HCI, in tutte le sue
declinazioni.
Un caro saluto a tutti,
Giuliana

*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The development of Smart Learning Ecosystems is of strategic relevance
for all the territorial ambits on which they insist, either because they
can act as a bulwark against degradation in the most critical areas, or
because they can contribute to increasing the well-being of students and
their communities of reference; moreover, they can also act as a driver
for sustainable development of the territories.
The achievement of an adequate level of smartness in the learning
ecosystems is, however, a process that needs a long-term vision,
multidisciplinary competencies, an attitude to understand people and
contexts and to mediate points of view, a dynamic approach to resilience
to keep on track and achieve, step-by-step, the foreseen goals: in
short, an attitude to design and implement sustainable projects and
processes aimed at achieving a people-centered smart environments and
education.
Climate change, pandemics, wars (more or less uncovered), and the energy
and food crises triggered by them, all point towards the need to change
our lifestyles and make them fully sustainable. The SDGs [1] and the
cultural and technological transitions they foster – such as the green
transition – therefore become new challenges with which smart learning
ecosystems and communities must measure themselves to support the
education of competent and responsible future citizens.
Citizens whose future behaviour implies the entrenchment of a sense of
membership [2] and the development of meta-design competencies [3]-,
i.e., the competence of knowing how to explore and manage, the ambiguity
and uncertainty that changes will bring.
Within such an evolving scenario, we also have to face the amplifying
power of digital technologies, which – as discussed in the UNESCO
document “The futures of education for participation in 2050” [4] –
could contribute, through educational processes, to the development of a
fairer and more equitable society and, at the same time, to more careful
use of resources; but, on the other hand, if not adequately utilized,
they could also lead to deepening the existing gaps. Thus, we have to
face a parallel digital transition that raises many questions about its
impact on humans and the environment, including its energy
sustainability. The digital transition – which complements the other
cultural transitions induced by SDGs (giving rise to multiple twin
transitions) – thus, left us with complex questions about when, how, and
why to use digital technologies in and for learning, that can be
approached through multiple perspectives and angles. How can they
contribute sustainably, to transform education, support cultural
transitions, reduce inequalities, and at the same time, empower
individuals according to their needs, expectations, and talents?

*Topics of Interest*
-----------------------------------------------------------
General topics of interest acting as background and frame for the twin
transitions can be grouped under three big themes: places for smart
education, people in place- centered design for smart education,
supportive learning technologies and tools for smart education. All can
be related to studies that develop on a post-pandemic view and strategy
for a better learning world, namely nurtured by the pertinence of smart
learning ecosystems as engines of the twin transitions, like the green
and digital one.

International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI)
Since 1992, AVI has been a biennial appointment for a vast international community of experts with a broad range of backgrounds. Throughout three decades, the Conference has attracted leading researchers of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from all over the world, offering a forum to present and disseminate new technological results, paradigms, and visions for HCI and user interfaces.
Because of advanced technology and new possibilities for user interaction, AVI has broadened the topics it covers, still keeping its primary focus on the conception, design, implementation, and evaluation of novel visual interfaces.
While rooted in Italy, AVI is an actual international conference concerning the nationality of participants, authors of papers, and program committee members. The mixture of carefully selected research contributions paired with cordial Italian hospitality creates a unique conference atmosphere, which has made AVI an internationally recognized brand.
AVI 2024 is under the patronage of University of Genoa, Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics and Systems Engineering, Italy.
We look forward to your participation in AVI 2024!

Call for Proposals
We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference.
Tutorials are designed to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent user interfaces, and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Note: We encourage you to contact the chairs with your ideas (wt2024(a)iui.acm.org<mailto:wt2024@iui.acm.org>), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal.
We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshop and tutorial formats and activities, including but not limited to:
* "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper submission and review processes.
* Interactive formats to explore a certain topic during the workshop (e.g., through breakout rooms); such workshops may have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the outcome of the interactive discussions.
* "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).
* "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to ask participants to submit a position statement.
* "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an existing large-scale (e.g. NSF, EU, etc. funded) project.
* "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics with individual or team participation.
* Tutorials on a specific topic relevant to IUI; for example, methods and approaches in HCI and/or AI, specific techniques or algorithms to develop intelligent user interfaces, etc.
We invite submissions of proposals for full-day and half-day workshops or tutorials. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop and tutorial chairs.
Workshops with few submissions may be canceled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise restructured. The organizers of accepted workshops and tutorials are responsible for producing a call for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop and tutorial organizers will maintain their own website with information about the workshop or tutorial and the ACM IUI 2024 website will refer to this website. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation, collection, and review process. A workshop and tutorials summary will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2024, and we will separately publish a joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through CEUR or similar).

===========================================
*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
This special issue is intended to explore the assumption (and to provide
at least partial evidence) that the most successful Artificial
Intelligence (AI) systems out there today are dependent on teams of
humans, just as humans depend on these systems to gain access to
information, provide insights and perform tasks beyond their own
capabilities. An assumption that implies a confrontation between AI,
Human-Centered AI and HCD and a reflection on the role of HCD in the AI age.
The issue, thus, is not intended to be focalized on the design of user
interfaces of systems containing embedded AI features, per se; rather,
it is expected to be grounded in research activities involving a broad
spectrum of academic disciplines – from computer science to social
science – that will critically analyze the interplay between
AI, Human-Centered AI and HCD, in order to investigate the impact on
individuals, social groups, and society as a whole.
In particular this special issue wish to explore the relationship
between AI, aimed at replacing human beings, and Intelligence
Augmentation (IA), focused on empowering human beings in their daily
life and work. Balancing between these two perspectives means changing
the research paradigm from traditional human-computer interaction, to
designing the collaboration between humans and computers. This will
foster creativity, meaningful work, intersubjectivity, and learning, and
eventually improve the quality of life of individuals. However, a
variety of issues and ethical problems need to be addressed in this new
age – e.g., privacy intrusions, massive unemployment, knowledge and
competence loss, lack of control, autonomous weapons, new research
methods, etc.
The guest editors encourage researchers to submit articles that will
consider these aspects.
