CfP - VL/HCC 2023 - abstracts due this week, April 21 - IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing

by Rebecca Krosnick

VL/HCC 2023: IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2023 **Call for Research Papers** IMPORTANT DATES - Abstracts only: April 21, 2023 - Submission deadline: April 28, 2023 - Rebuttal phase: June 5 - 9, 2023 - Notification: June 23, 2023 - Camera-ready: July 14, 2023 The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing is the premier international forum for research on this topic. Established in 1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory, application, and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling, and communicating, which are easier to learn, use, and understand by people. The 2023 symposium is scheduled to take place October 2-6 in Washington, DC, USA. VL/HCC 2023 is 100% Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (TCMC). SCOPE AND TOPICS We solicit original, unpublished research papers on computing technologies for modeling, programming, communicating, and reasoning, which are easier to learn, use or understand by humans than the current state-of-the-art. Papers should focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate those technologies and languages. This includes technologies intended for general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public) or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people working in business administration, production environments, healthcare, urban design or scientific domains). Empirical papers that validate current proposed solutions with rigorous scientific means (i.e., empirical studies, controlled experiments, rigorous case studies, etc.) are also welcome. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Visual languages: Novel visual languages, Design, evaluation, and theory of visual languages and applications, Development of systems for manipulating and interacting with diagrammatic representations - Human aspects and psychology of software development and language design, such as supporting inclusion and diversity in programming - End-user development: End-user development, adaptation and programming, Creation and evaluation of technologies and infrastructures for end-user development - Crowdsourcing design and development work - Representations: Novel representations and user interfaces for expressing computation, Software, algorithm and data visualization - Modeling: Model-driven development, Domain-specific languages, including modeling languages, Visual modeling of human behavior and socio-technical systems - Thinking more deeply about code: Computational thinking and Computer Science education, Debugging and program understanding, Explainable ML/AI If you are not sure if your paper is a good fit for VL/HCC, feel free to email the PC Co-chairs (see “Contact” below). We welcome those new to the VL/HCC community to submit! SPECIAL EMPHASIS FOR 2023: Low-Code / No-Code Development This year’s special topic is “Low-Code / No-Code Development”. This development paradigm enables the creation and deployment of fully functional applications using visual abstractions and interfaces and requiring little or no procedural code. This way, users are empowered to create software applications for constrained domains, even if they lack a programming background. This year, we especially welcome papers at VL/HCC that design, build, or evaluate any aspects of low-code and no-code solutions. PAPER SUBMISSIONS We invite two kinds of papers: - full-length research papers, up to 8 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements - short research papers, up to 4 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements Papers must be submitted using the IEEE two-column conference paper format. Be sure to use the current IEEE conference paper format (which was updated in 2019), and to select the “US letter” template: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2023). To facilitate the assigning of papers to reviewers, we require paper abstracts to be submitted via EasyChair at least 1 week prior to the paper submission deadline (see Important Dates below). The abstract must be kept up to date such that it matches exactly the abstract in the submitted paper. The abstract must be no longer than 250 words. All accepted papers, whether full or short, should be complete, self-contained, archival contributions. Contributions from full papers are more extensive than those from short papers. Note that some full paper submissions may be accepted as short papers if reviewers deem contributions to be comparable in size to a short paper. Work-in-progress, which has not yet yielded an archival contribution, should be submitted to the Posters/Showpieces category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee in a double-blind review process. Authors will then receive the reviews for their submissions and will be able to answer them in a rebuttal phase. Only after this step the PC will make a final decision about the acceptance of the submissions. Submissions and reviews for the technical program are managed with EasyChair. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for VL/HCC 2023 and present the paper at the conference. There will be a virtual presentation option in case of travel restrictions. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference. The proceedings of IEEE VL/HCC are published in digital form by the IEEE Computer Science Society and archived in the IEEE Digital Library with an official ISBN number. Accepted papers will be available to conference attendees via the IEEE Open Preview program in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/). DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING We follow a double-blind reviewing process. Both authors and reviewers are expected to make every effort to honor the double-blind reviewing process. In case of questions, please contact the Program Chairs. Authors should ensure that the submission can be evaluated without it being obvious who wrote the paper. This means leaving author names off the paper and using terms like “previous research” rather than “our previous research” when describing background. However, do not hide previous work – papers must still reference all relevant research using full (non-anonymized) citations, including the author’s own prior work, so that reviewers can evaluate novelty. Please reference your own prior work in the third-person just like you would do for any other related work (e.g., avoid “As described in our previous work [10], … ” and instead write something like “As described by [10], …”). It is also important that authors specify all conflicts of interest with potential reviewers during the submission phase. Reviewers should not undertake any investigation that might lead to the revealing of authors’ identity. If identities are inadvertently revealed, please contact the Program Chairs. The Program Chairs will check all submissions for obvious signs of lack of anonymity and may ask authors to make changes and resubmit the paper within three days of the submission deadline. Only changes to resolve anonymity issues will be permitted. EVALUATION AND JUSTIFICATION Papers are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence. For example, a paper that claims to improve programmer productivity is expected to demonstrate improved productivity; a paper that claims to be easier to use should demonstrate increased ease of use. However, not all claims necessarily need to be supported with empirical evidence or studies with people. For example, a paper that claims to make something feasible that was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim through the existence of a functioning prototype. Moreover, there are many alternatives to empirical evidence that may be appropriate for justifying claims, including analytical methods, formal arguments or case studies. Given this criterion, we encourage potential authors to think carefully about what claims their submission makes and what evidence would adequately support these claims. In addition, we expect short papers to have less comprehensive evaluation than long papers.

Call For Papers - PATCH 2023: International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage

by Noemi Mauro

CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH 2023) Held in conjunction with ACM UMAP 2023 - Limassol, Cyprus. https://patch2023.di.unito.it/index.html Important dates: April 20, 2023: paper submission May 8, 2023: notification to authors May 18, 2023: camera-ready due The workshop will be in person. However, in very exceptional circumstances we might accept a remote participation, to be discussed with us at paper submission time. Abstract and Topics Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2023 will again be the meeting point between state-of-the-art cultural heritage (CH) research and personalization research. Focused on those using different types of technology, with emphasis on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, used to enhance the personal experience in CH sites. The workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are working on various aspects of CH and are interested in exploring the potential of state-of-the-art mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance the CH visiting experience. The expected result of the workshop is a multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research directions and, hopefully, forge some research collaborations. Motivation Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a primary area for personalization research. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing to experience and learn new things, with expectations but possibly without a clear idea of what they will find there. The Museum Experience Revisited, by John Falk and Lynn Dierking (2013), argues that the visitor’s experience is constructed by the intertwining of the personal, the social, and the physical context. The experience begins before the visit, when one starts to think about it, and lasts well after leaving the building. Indeed CH is rich in objects and information and offers much more than the visitor can absorb during their limited time in situ.

[MIS4TEL'23] Call for Papers - Last Deadline Extension

by Federica Caruso

www.mis4tel-conference.net<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net> info(a)mis4tel-conference.net<mailto:info@mis4tel-conference.net> HYBRID CONFERENCE 13th International Conference on Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net> ________________________________ Guimarães (Portugal) | 12th-14th July, 2023<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net> [https://mis4tel-conference.net/resources/logo_mis4tel-conference.png]<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/> SCOPE Education is the cornerstone of any society, and it serves as one of the foundations for many of its social values and characteristics. State-of-the-art, new interactive technologies and novel methodologies allow researchers, designers, and domain experts to pursue Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) solutions targeting not only cognitive and social processes but also motivational, personality, or emotional factors. Nowadays, we can identify two main strands, providing necessary and complementary strengths to a TEL-oriented design process: appropriate technologies should be applied, and appropriate methods should guide the design and implementation of such applications. Technologies in TEL are capable of delivering smart, personalized, tailored, and motivating learning solutions. Methods are coming from different fields, such as education, psychology, sociology, computer science, and from diverse communities, where collaboration and co-working are used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, current trends concerning the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Learning Analytics (LA) can help manage available (big) data and augment learning opportunities for learners (for instance by supporting self-regulated learning or adaptation of the learning material) and educators (for example, providing information about learners progression or facilitating reflections about teaching approaches and experiences). As to these topics, the annual appointment of MIS4TEL established itself as a consolidated fertile forum where scholars and professionals from the international community, with a broad range of expertise in the TEL field, share results and compare experiences. The 13th edition of the conference calls for novel research in TEL and expands the topics of the previous editions, highlighting the role of the most recent methods and technological opportunities. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL. We invite contributions relevant to the following topics, without being limited to them, across approaches, methods, theories, implementations, and applications: * Technologies and technology-based solutions for TEL * Methodologies and experiences for TEL * Learning analytics and AI for TEL TRACKS OVERVIEW #1 Digital Technologies integration in the classroom Schools and higher education institutions are gradually implementing the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the classrooms. Consequently, the teaching -and learning- processes are still to be reinvented and teachers relentlessly face new ways of dealing with their profession. The purpose of this track is to provide a forum to discuss the challenges posed by these technologies in the teaching profession and to offer practical answers for teachers to better make use of them (i.e., not only the technical mastery but also the application of pedagogical strategies to promote students’ learning). It has been demonstrated that transferring existing programs or traditional lectures does not represent authentic ways of technology integration. The move from teacher-centered instruction to student based learning using interactive environments requires more complex solutions. It is therefore crucial for teachers (both pre-service and in-service) to be able to efficiently use these new tools. Teacher education programmes must then provide the means, models and frameworks to cope with the needs for the new forms of teaching and learning. The main topics regarding this track are related but not limited to the following ones: * Pre-service and in-service professional development education. * Teacher Mentoring and coaching. * Online and blended teaching * Self-study to make sense of new ways of online teaching * Promotion of web based learning, e-learning, and learning objects in classroom. * Teachers’ technological competences and skills in classroom. * Teachers’ practical knowledge (content, pedagogical and technological) * Teachers’ Collaborative Learning and Teachers’ beliefs. * New teaching methodologies (e.g., gamification). * Action research and reflection processes for ICT. * Educational inclusion (Challenges, accessibility, awareness and tools). Chairs: * María Cruz Sánchez-Gómez, University of Salamanca (Spain) * Juan José Mena, University of Salamanca (Spain) #2 AI for education In recent years, there has been a great development in Technology Enhanced Learning, caused greatly by the distance learning exponential growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many applications of data analysis and modeling of learning processes, based on emergent AI techniques and method such as machine learning and deep learning, have been proposed. In line with this trend, the main goal of this track, connected to the MIS4Tel 2023 conference, is to discuss and evaluate the contribution that AI, as one of the Technology Enhanced Learning approaches, is bringing to the educational field, especially in the last years. This track is intended to be a great opportunity for researchers and practitioners in the field, both to discuss new ideas and to explore some important aspects regarding the close relationship between AI from an application and theoretical point of view. The topics of interest for this special session include, but are not limited to: * Deep Learning and education * IoT applications in education * MOOCs * Peer Assessment * IRT * Learning Analytics * Intelligent Adaptive Learning Environment * Affective Computing in Education * Artificial Intelligence algorithms in Education * Artificial Neural Networks in Education * Human-Computer Interaction in Teaching System * Artificial Intelligence in Student Evaluation * Assessing Student Performance using Artificial Intelligence * Educational Robotics * Data Mining, Text Mining and Web Mining in Education * Intelligent Agent-based Learning Environments * Smart Chatbots in Education * Intelligent Tutoring Systems * Virtual reality and Augmented Reality based Learning Systems * Pedagogical Artificial Agents * Digital Assistants * Metaverse and education Chairs: * Dalila Durães, University of Minho (Portugal) * Filippo Sciarrone, Universitas Mercatorum (Italy) INVITED SPEAKERS [https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/sites/default/files/MikeS.jpg] Mike Sharples The Open University (UK) [https://paams.net/sites/default/files/j-bourgeois.jpg] Julien Bourgeois University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté, FEMTO-ST Institute, CNRS (France) [https://paams.net/sites/default/files/kujala.jpg] Tuomo Kujala University of Jyväskylä (Finland) [https://www.paams.net/sites/default/files/ana-paiva.jpg] Ana Paiva University of Lisbon (Portugal) SPECIAL ISSUES Authors of selected papers from MIS4TEL will be invited to submit an extended and improved version to special issue in different journals.

CFP: CoPDA 2023 - 7th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age (Extended Deadline April 30th)

by Daniela Fogli

------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- CoPDA 2023 - 7th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: Artificial and/or Human Intelligence: Nurturing Computational Fluency in the Digital Age https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2023/ June 6th, 2023 - Cagliari, Italy In conjunction with IS-EUD 2023 (https://cg3hci.dmi.unica.it/iseud2023/) ------------ Overview ------------ In the Middle Ages, most people were dependent on “scribes”, who helped them to write down their thoughts, ideas, and stories, as well as to read the material written by other people. Many people today are in the same situation concerning digital media: they are unable to express themselves, explore problem spaces, and appropriate tools, and act as designers in personally meaningful activities. They must rely on “high-tech scribes”. This 7th edition of the CoPDA workshop series will explore new conceptual frameworks and innovative computational environments for supporting computational fluency allowing people to become independent of “high-tech scribes”. The workshop will be in continuity with the edition held in 2022 in Frascati (Rome) focused on the relationship between AI and Human-Centered Design. An important challenge for the researchers getting together in the workshop this year will be to explore the foundational idea(s) that these workshops have pursued and how they are related to each other. A particular objective of all previous CoPDA workshops has been to collectively identify important and interesting themes for future workshops and our hope and expectation is that this will happen again this year by exploring conceptual frameworks and socio-technical environments making Computational Fluency a desirable and reachable goal for all citizens. A student who has proficient skills in computational fluency would be able to use strategies together with the facts he or she knows how to identify a more challenging problem or another representation of the solution. This is a step beyond Digital Literacy, which focuses on mastering the tool in use (e.g.: keyboarding, surfing the internet, proficiency with digital environments for reading, writing, calculating, and communication), and beyond Computational Literacy, which focuses on solving known problems in efficient ways, including the use of coding. Digital Literacy and Computational Literacy (at least some parts) are a prerequisite for Computational Fluency, which emphasizes pursuing personal meaningful problems and shared meaningful activities. Computational Fluency shows mastery and appropriation of computational concepts by allowing one to address new and wicked problems in a creative manner. These abilities cannot be formally taught but can be nurtured, encouraged, and supported with socio-technical environments and education programs that foster reflection, creativity, and sharing. The workshop aims to discuss Computational Fluency in the Digital Age by considering several topics including (but not limited to): - Computational Thinking - Design Thinking - Printed Fluency - Digital Fluency - Human-centered AI (HCAI) - Explainability of AI-based decisions - Evaluation of AI-based systems - AI support in everyday work - ChatGPT: Promises and Pitfalls - Big data and privacy - Adaptive, Adaptable, and Context-Aware Systems - End-User Development and Meta-Design - End-User Development for AI-based systems - Design Trade-offs between AI and EUD - Distributed cognition - Cultures of participation - Multi-dimensional aspects of learning - Collaborative learning - Educational nurturing ---------------- Submissions ----------------- Authors are invited to submit a 6-page position paper using the 1-column CEUR template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt The papers can be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=copda2023 All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be collected and submitted for publication on CEUR-WS proceedings. -------------------- Important dates -------------------- - Apr 30th, 2023: Submission deadline (Extended) - May 10th, 2023: Notification of acceptance (Extended) - May 17th, 2023: Camera ready (Extended) - Jun 6th, 2023: CoPDA 2023 workshop ----------------------------- Organizing Committee ------------------------------ Barbara Rita Barricelli (Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy) Gerhard Fischer (University of Colorado, Boulder, USA) Daniela Fogli (Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy) Anders Mørch (University of Oslo, Norway) Antonio Piccinno (Università degli Studi di Bari, Italy) Stefano Valtolina (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy) For any further information, please contact copda2023(a)easychair.org -- Informativa sulla Privacy: https://www.unibs.it/it/node/1452 <https://www.unibs.it/it/node/1452>

Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might be interested in contributing to this special session. I'm looking forward to meeting you, virtually or in your presence, at IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023. Best regards, Giuseppe Caggianese Giuseppe Caggianese, Ph.D. ------------------------------------------------------------- Research Scientist National Research Council (CNR) Institute for High-Performance Computing and Networking (ICAR) Via Pietro Castellino 111, 80131, Naples, Italy Telefono: +39 0816139227 Mobile: +39 3371588044 Skype: giuseppe.caggianese Email: giuseppe.caggianese(a)cnr.it [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ==================================================================================== Call for Papers - Special Session on: “EXTENDED REALITY AS A GATEWAY TO THE METAVERSE: PRACTICES, THEORIES, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS” https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023) https://metroxraine.org/ October 25-27, 2023 - Milan, Italy. ==================================================================================== SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION ------------------------- The fast development of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) solutions over the last few years are transforming how people interact, work, and communicate. The eXtended Reality (XR) term encloses all those immersive technologies that can shift the boundaries between digital and physical worlds to realize the metaverse. According to tech companies and venture capitalists, the metaverse will be a super-platform that convenes sub-platforms: social media, online video games, and ease-of-life apps, all accessible through the same digital space and sharing the same digital economy. Inside the metaverse, virtual worlds will allow avatars to carry out all human endeavours, including creation, display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the metaverse will evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, health services, cultural heritage, and each other things on the Internet. A user could join friends to play a multiplayer game, watch a movie via a streaming service and then attend a university course precisely the same as in the real world. The metaverse development will require new software architecture that will enable decentralized and collaborative virtual worlds. These self-organized virtual worlds will be permanent and will require maintenance operations. In addition, it will be necessary to design an efficient data management system and prevent privacy violations. Finally, the convergence of physical reality, virtually enhanced, and an always-on virtual space highlighted the need to rethink the actual paradigms for visualization, interaction, and sharing of digital information, moving toward more natural, intuitive, dynamically customizable, multimodal, and multi-user solutions. This special session aims to focus on exploring how the realization of the metaverse can transform certain application domains such us: (i) healthcare, in which the metaverse solutions can, for instance, improve the communication between patients and physicians; (ii) cultural heritage, with potentially more effective solutions for tourism guidance, site maintenance, and heritage object conservation; and (iii) industry, where to enable data-driven decision making, smart maintenance, and overall asset optimisation. More information can be found here: https://metroxraine.org/special-session-17 TOPICS ---------- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Hardware/Software Architectures for metaverse - Decentralized and Collaborative Architectures for metaverse - Interoperability for metaverse - Tools to help creators to build the metaverse0 - Operations and Maintenance in metaverse - Data security and privacy mechanisms for metaverse - Cryptocurrency, token, NFT Solutions for metaverse - Fraud-Detection in metaverse - Cyber Security for metaverse - Data Analytics to Identify Malicious Behaviors in metaverse - Blockchain/AI technologies in metaverse - Emerging Technologies and Applications for metaverse - New models to evaluate the impact of the metaverse - Interactive Data Exploration and Presentation in metaverse - Human-Computer Interaction for metaverse - Human factors issues related to metaverse - Proof-of-Concept in Metaverse: Experimental Prototyping and Testbeds IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ Abstract Submission Deadline: April 7, 2023 (extended) **NOTE: 1-2 pages abstract or a graphical abstract** Final Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2023 (extended) Full Paper Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2023 Final Paper Submission Deadline: July 31, 2023 SUBMISSION AND DECISIONS ------------------------ Authors should prepare an Abstract (1 - 2 pages) that clearly indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the work.

HCSE@INTERACT 2023 Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering - Call for Papers (Submissions due: May 08)

by Stefan Sauer

*(Apologies if you receive multiple e-mails on this subject via different channels!)* https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023 *Call for Papers* HCSE@INTERACT 2023 International Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering Rethinking the Interplay of Human–Computer Interaction and Software Engineering in the Age of Digital Transformation organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 onMethodologies for User-Centered Systems Design atINTERACT 2023 <https://interact2023.org/> The 19th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction August 28/29, 2023 York, United Kingdom Theme The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by a process of technological transformation that is affecting the social structure across the globe. It has changed the way of shopping, of relating to others, of living. At the core of the process are technologies that generate important cultural impacts in our lives. In Europe, this process is differently named, depending on the different countries: digitisation, digital transformation, digital transition, etc. Here we call it digital transformation, but no matter how you name it, it has in fact revolutionized every market and company, as well as our life. We follow the definition by Gong & Ribiere (2020) that states that Digital transformation is “A fundamental change process, enabled by the innovative use of digital technologies accompanied by the strategic leverage of key resources and capabilities, aiming to radically improve an entity* and redefine its value proposition for its stakeholders.” (*An entity could be: an organization, a business network, an industry, or society.). Various technologies enable the digital transformation process: mobile and wearable devices, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain, Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Digital Twin, Cybersecurity. However, while introducing undeniable benefits, they also bring some important issues. This workshop is looking for contributions from various fields, with a focus on: * the domain of Internet of Things (IoT) and IoT devices that are becoming more pervasive and social * IoT also introduces issues from the cybersecurity perspective * The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on human lives and the economywith the problem thatthe required computing power is high, there are worriesof how AI models predict the output, data privacy and securityetc * Digital Twin (DT) is another protagonist of the digital transformation process. It is a virtual replica of a real-world object that is run in a simulation environment to mirror its physical pendant, with digital and physical twins influencing each other including the ability to perform predictions. * benefits and issues of other technologies: usability of mobile and wearable devices, as well as of Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality; user awareness about the usage and the security of Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain. What emerges is that Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) is more relevant than ever. The interplay between Human–Computer Interaction and Software Engineering needs to be rethought and fortified for a rapid response to the evolution of technologies, while also considering aspects such as greater agility in service development, sustainability, ethical considerations, cybersecurity, user mindset and awareness, to name just a few. But also the approaches for addressing them have to be carefully considered. For example, some software development companies show an increasing interest in low-code development platforms to facilitate application development by domain experts without sophisticated software development knowledge, as a possible solution to the need of more agile, fast and also sustainable service development. Domain experts are, however, not trained in software development methods. This introduces a risk of domain experts creating unusable applications or exceeding the designated time frame of a project (or both). <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.kzuma82xxlaf> Objective In this workshop, we aim to broaden the traditional scope of the workshop series of IFIP Working Group 13.2beyond the traditional themes of IFIP 13.2 workshops. Particularly, this edition promotes sharing of knowledge and experiences that address how to deal with the challenges of the digital transformation and its influence on human-centered socio-technical system design and development practices. This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized atINTERACT 2015 in Bamberg, Germany <https://www.irit.fr/recherches/ICS/events/conferences/workshop-IFIPWG13.2-B…>,INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India <http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>,INTERACT 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifip-wg-13-2-workshop-interact/home>, andINTERACT 2021 in Bari, Italy <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/>. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_iJ1JDR1kenC0> Target Audience and Expected Outcomes This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human–computer interaction from a user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this workshop focus on methods, processes and approaches for designing, building and testing interactive systems. We expect a high participation of IFIP Working Group 13.2 members. We particularly invite participants to present position papers describing real-life case studies that illustrate how they rethought HCI’s and SE’s interplay in order to address aspects such as agile development, sustainability, ethical considerations, and cybersecurity. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface design are welcome. We are especially interested in work that deals with current trends that change the way humans use, interact and collaborate with technical components in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and tools that combine human-centered design and software engineering practices. Position papers will be made available through the workshop website. Furthermore, an extended version of selected papers will be considered for inclusion in a Springer LNCS post-proceedings volume published in conjunction with the other INTERACT workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_OX43lXt1eneG> Workshop Format This full-day workshopisin person only. Itisorganized around presentation of position papers and working activities in small groups. From the set of contributions, a subset of selected case studies will be invited to be presented at the beginning of the workshop and will be used to support the discussion that follows. The morning session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and presenting case studies. Participants will be invited to comment on the case studies and to report similar experiences. The afternoon sessions will be devoted to interactive sessions, where participants will be engaged to work in small groups and propose solutions to the problems of the case st udies seen in the morning. Solutions proposed by the participants will be compiled and compared. Based on the lessons learned, participants will be incited to draft an agenda of future work that can be accomplished. We plan to run the workshoponsite in person only. If circumstances require it, we intend to switch to a completely digital format that will be run online. We will continuously adapt to any decision regarding the conference format by the INTERACT 2023 organizers. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_ID_80> Submission Instructions In order to attend the workshop, participants are invited to submit position papers reporting original academic or industrial research relevant to the workshop's theme.

10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023): Fourth Call for Submissions

by georgeangelos60＠gmail.com

*** Fourth Call for Submissions *** 10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023) October 24-26, 2023, Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/esocc2023/ (Proceedings to be published in Springer LNCS; Journal Special Issue with Springer Computing) AIM AND SCOPE Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the primary approaches to build large-scale distributed systems and deliver software services to end users. Cloud-native software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of (micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the increasing growth of their computing capabilities. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe. ESOCC aims to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.

4th International Workshop on Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems (EMPATHY) – Call for Papers

by Andrea Mattioli

*apologies for cross-posting* *call for papers* EMPATHY: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems - 4th Edition https://empathy-ws.github.io/2023/ June 6th, 2023 Cagliari, Italy Workshop co-located with IS-EUD 2023 OVERVIEW In the last decade, the spreading of low-cost technologies integrating sensors and actuators has favored the development of the so-called smart objects. This trend has been further fostered by the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects the physical world with Internet via ubiquitous sensors and actuators. The opportunities offered by the IoT are amplified by the use of new approaches that, based on novel interaction paradigms, involve directly non-technical users in configuring the joint behavior of their smart objects, among them and with online services. Existing solutions to define the behavior of such “IoT ecosystems” range from systems that leave the users complete control for establishing the joint behavior of smart objects, to solutions that automatically define smart objects behavior exploiting intelligent techniques. In this continuum, different technologies, frameworks, and approaches present different levels of user control and automation. In this perspective it is also important to consider the emerging role played by social and humanoid robots, which are integrated sets of sensors and actuators with human-like behaviours. DATES April 30th: Paper submission deadline May 4th: Paper acceptance notice May 17th: Camera-ready submission June 6th: Workshop day SUGGESTED TOPICS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS This workshop aims to serve as a venue for discussing ongoing research and sharing ideas for researchers and practitioners working on solutions to personalize the behavior of IoT ecosystems. We aim to encourage participation in order to have stimulating discussion from various perspectives. Topics include, but are not limited, to: - End-User Development (EUD) for IoT; - Interaction Paradigms for IoT; - Usability of IoT Systems; - Interface Design for IoT; - Intelligent Interface for IoT Systems; - Accessibility for IoT Systems; - Virtual and Augmented Reality for EUD in IoT settings; - Conversational User Interfaces for EUD; - Usable Privacy and Security in IoT systems; - Personalisation and Recommendations for IoT; - IoT for Cultural Heritage; - Ubiquitous computing and mobile human-computer interaction; - Human-centered artificial intelligence in IoT contexts; - Explainable AI solutions for EUD; - User centered design; - Personalization for Humanoid Robots; - Integrated and Visual Development Environments for IoT; - Interaction Paradigms for IoT; - Industry case studies. PARTICIPATION This will be a one-day workshop, oriented towards discussions, hands-on sessions, and presentations. We invite submissions of two types: short papers (3-4 pages) and position papers (1-2 pages). Participants are asked to submit their paper describing their recent or future work in one of the areas indicated in the topics of interest. All submissions must be in the 1-column CEURART Template (https://ceurws.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/ceurws-publishes-ceurart-paper-styl…). Papers should be submitted in PDF to Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=empathy2023). All papers will be reviewed by the organizers and by the program committee based on relevance and significance in order to provide constructive comments to the submitters. Reviewing will be single blind (i.e. author names and affiliations should be listed). If accepted, at least one of the authors must register and attend the workshop. Final versions of the accepted papers will be submitted for publication in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings, which is indexed by Scopus. ORGANIZERS - Margherita Andrao, University of Trento and Fondazione Bruno Kessler - Fabrizio Balducci, University of Bari “Aldo Moro” - Bernardo Breve, University of Salerno - Andrea Mattioli, CNR-ISTI - Fabiana Vernero, University of Torino For more information, check our website at https://empathy-ws.github.io/2023/ or contact us at (empathy2023(a)easychair.org).
