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

VL/HCC 2022: Extended Deadlines

by Emanuele Panizzi

*VL/HCC 2022: Call for Research Papers* (Apologies for multiple postings) *IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing* *>>> 12-16 September 2022 <<<* *Rome, Italy* *https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2022* <https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2022> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *IMPORTANT DEADLINES* Research Papers: - Abstracts-Only: *Wednesday 6th April 2022* - Submission Deadline: *Wednesday 6th April 2022* (all deadlines are *23:59, AoE*) *>>> Submission link: **https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) 2022* From the beginning of the computer age, people have sought easier ways to learn, express, and understand computational ideas. Whether this meant moving from punch cards to textual languages, or command lines to graphical UIs, the quest to make computation easier to express, manipulate, and understand by a broader group of people is an ongoing challenge. The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing is the premier international forum for research on this topic. Established in 1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory, application, and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling, and communicating, which are easier to learn, use, and understand by people. The 2022 symposium is scheduled to take place September 12-16 in Rome, Italy. Our special emphasis for 2022 is *Human-Centric AI*. VL/HCC 2022 is 100% Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (TCMC). *VL/HCC is indexed in Scopus, DBLP, IEEE Explore, WoS.* *The Symposium is planned to be in presence. In any case, we are monitoring the Covid situation and will act according to decisions of the authorities to insure the safest and widest participation.* We look forward to your participation in VL/HCC! Paolo Bottoni, VL/HCC 2022 General Co-Chair Gennaro Costagliola, VL/HCC 2022 General Co-Chair --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Scope and Topics* We solicit original, unpublished research papers on computing technologies for modeling, programming, communicating, and reasoning, which are easier to learn, use or understand by humans than the current state-of-the-art. Papers should focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate those technologies and languages. This includes technologies intended for general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public) or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people working in business administration, production environments, healthcare, urban design or scientific domains). Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Visual Languages: Novel visual languages, Design, evaluation, and theory of visual languages and applications, Development of systems for manipulating and interacting with diagrammatic representations - Human aspects and psychology of software development and language design, such as supporting inclusion and diversity in programming - End-user development: End-user development, adaptation and programming, Creation and evaluation of technologies and infrastructures for end user development - Crowdsourcing design and development work - Representations: Novel representations and user interfaces for expressing computation, Software, algorithm and data visualization - Modeling: Model-driven development, Domain-specific languages, including modeling languages, Visual modeling of human behavior and socio-technical systems - Thinking more deeply about code: Computational thinking and Computer Science education, Debugging and program understanding, Explainable ML/AI If you are not sure if your paper is a good fit for VL/HCC, feel free to email the PC Co-chairs (see “Contacts” below). We welcome those new to the VL/HCC community to submit! *Special Emphasis for 2022: Human-Centric AI* This year’s special topic is “Human-Centric AI”. As AI and explainable AI (XAI) experience explosive growth, many questions arise about how to ensure that tools and explanations for AI fit the needs of the broad populations they need to serve. This year, we especially welcome papers at VL/HCC that design, build, or evaluate technologies involving or relating to human-centric AI and issues of human-centric AI, such as trust and fairness. *Paper submissions* We invite *two kinds of papers*: - full-length research papers, up to 8 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements - short research papers, up to 4 pages - plus unlimited additional pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements. Papers must be submitted using the IEEE two-column conference paper format. Be sure to use the current IEEE conference paper format (which was updated in 2019), and to select the “US letter” template: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html *>>> Papers should be submitted via the **EasyChair system* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022>*. <<<* *>>> The submission link is: * *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022>* <<<* To facilitate the assigning of papers to reviewers, we require paper abstracts to be submitted via EasyChair at least 1 week prior to the paper submission deadline (see Important Deadlines above). The abstract must be kept up to date such that it matches exactly the abstract in the submitted paper. The abstract must be no longer than 250 words. All accepted papers, whether full or short, should be complete, self-contained, archival contributions. Contributions from full papers are more extensive than those from short papers. Work-in-progress, which has not yet yielded a contribution, should be submitted to the Showpieces category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee in a single blind review process. Authors will then receive the reviews for their submissions and will be able to answer them in a rebuttal phase. Only after this step the PC will make a final decision about the acceptance of the submissions. Submissions and reviews for the technical program are managed with EasyChair. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for VL/HCC 2022 and present the paper at the conference. There will be a virtual presentation option in case of travel restrictions. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference. The proceedings of IEEE VL/HCC are published in digital form by the IEEE Computer Science Society and archived in the IEEE Digital Library with an official ISBN number. Accepted papers will be available to conference attendees via the IEEE Open Preview program in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/). *Evaluation and Justification* Papers are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence. For example, a paper that claims to improve programmer productivity is expected to demonstrate improved productivity; a paper that claims to be easier to use should demonstrate increased ease of use. However, not all claims necessarily need to be supported with empirical evidence or studies with people. For example, a paper that claims to make something feasible that was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim through the existence of a functioning prototype. Moreover, there are many alternatives to empirical evidence that may be appropriate for justifying claims, including analytical methods, formal arguments or case studies. Given this criterion, we encourage potential authors to think carefully about what claims their submission makes and what evidence would adequately support these claims. In addition, we expect short papers to have less comprehensive evaluation than long papers. *Special Issue of The Journal of Computer Languages (COLA)* A select number of accepted papers will also be invited to optionally submit a revised and extended paper to a special issue of the Journal of Computer Languages (COLA). These papers will also go through the journal’s normal reviewing process. Papers accepted at both would appear both in the proceedings for VL/HCC 2022 and in COLA. Further instructions regarding formatting and the review/publication process will be provided when the invitations are made. More information about COLA is available here: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computer-languages --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *VL/HCC 2022 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* General Co-Chair Paolo Bottoni, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy General Co-Chair Gennaro Costagliola, University of Salerno, Italy Program Co-Chair Michelle Brachman, IBM Research, United States Program Co-Chair Mark Minas, Bundeswehr University Munich, Germany Publicity & Social Media Chair Emanuele Panizzi, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Finance Chair Maria De Marsico, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Publications Chair Kim Monch, Bundeswehr University Munich, Germany Web Chair Mattia De Rosa, University of Salerno, Italy Graduate Consortium Co-Chair Andrew Fish, University of Brighton, United Kingdom Graduate Consortium Co-Chair, Thomas LaToza, George Mason University, United States Tutorial and Workshop Co-Chair Alessio Malizia, University of Pisa, Italy Tutorial and Workshop Co-Chair Vittorio Fuccella, University of Salerno, Italy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Contacts* PC Co-Chairs: - Michelle (Ichinco) Brachman (michelle.brachman(a)ibm.com) - Mark Minas (mark.minas(a)unibw.de) For more information or any queries, please see our website: https://conf.researchr.org/home/vlhcc-2022

by Andrea Mattioli

-------------- *apologies for cross-posting* *second call for papers* EMPATHY: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems - 3rd Edition https://empathy-ws.github.io/2022/ June 6th, 2022 Rome, Italy Workshop co-located with AVI 2022 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 9th: Paper submission deadline April 16th: Paper acceptance notice April 29th: Camera-ready submission June 6th: Workshop 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; - Personalization of humanoid robots; - Ubiquitous computing and mobile human-computer interaction; - Human-centered artificial intelligence in IoT contexts; - 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.

Last CfP SLERD 2022 - 7th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development

by Carlo Giovannella

/Apologies for unintended cross-mailing/ ========================================================= *7th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development** * *2022:**TOWARDS THE POLYPHONIC CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW NORMALITY* *July 5-6, 2022* /*Bucharest, Romania (hybrid)*/ slerd.uniroma2.it <http://slerd.uniroma2.it/> Contacts: 1st: mihai [dot] dascalu [at] upb [dot] ro 2nd: aslerd [dot] org [at] gmail [dot] com To keep updated join the ASLERD LinkedIn page -> link <https://www.linkedin.com/groups/5103530/> Facebook page -> link <https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063631144119> ============================================================= Deadline for paper submission: *March 31, 2022 *call for papers <http://slerd.uniroma2.it/call-for-papers/> *========================================================= * *SLERD 2022* is organized by /University Politehnica of Bucharest /in collaboration with /ASLERD/ <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASLERD>/./ * * /*Short Intro*/ After the shock of the pandemic, learning ecosystems – and in particular schools, universities, and territorial learning communities – all over the world – are facing a new phase characterized by the search for and the experimentation of ways to their “*new normality*“. This is within a world that seeks to protect at best and incentivize the economic recovery that although relevant is still subjected to enormous risks. Among the main areas on which most of the industrialized countries and Europe are focusing on, there are: the transitions towards a green and circular economy, smart digitization of the production processes, social innovation, active citizen participation supported by technologies, and, finally, the education for all. In such a context,*collaboration*is emerging as an approach and an attitude of considerable relevance that stays also at the basis of the polyphonic construction of the future of learning ecosystems. Alongside/collaboration/, on the technological side, it continues to rise the relevance of intelligent systems, generically collected under the label of*Artificial Intelligence*(AI); concurrently, on the pedagogical side,*competences*have become the goal of future education, also in the attempt to close the skill gap, which represents one of the greatest dangers for the transition towards smarter productive systems and societies. Competences and AI, by the way, are also topics that intersect and influence each other and rise questions of*ethical nature*. Last but not least, they are likely to require an organizational and didactic revolution of the learning ecosystems, thus requiring to question the possible consequences in order to build a more adequate future. In turn, this step requires inspiration from best practices to leverage the advantage of the growth of individuals and the expectations of the communities. What should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How “smart learning ecosystems” are changing? How such changes may be related to the achievement of “a better learning for a better world <http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/aslerd/docs/TIMISOARA_DECLARATI…>” as a contribution to theUnited Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) <https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld>? How will they contribute to the reduction of inequalities and, at the same time, to the empowering of each individual according to his expectations and talents? /Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts, does not simply means “technology enhanced”. The smartness is a more complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning, especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation. Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they are not a “sine qua non”. The achievement of the learning ecosystems’ smartness is a process that need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen goals. /* *//*Topics of interests*/ *SLERD 2022* is proud to invite colleagues - researchers and practitioners - from all over the world to share the efforts concerning the development of smart learning ecosystems and, contributions on how to build together a brilliant post pandemic future, where smart learning ecosystems and smart education will be even more central in the education of future citizens, and in the promotion of social innovation and territorial development. can be grouped under three big themes: /*• places for smart education */ * • future of institutional learning • interplay between formal and informal learning • new educational models and settings • continuity-discontinuity of time, technology, place/space, processes in learning • role of, and case studies of, games and gamification in smart education • dual education and other alternate scheme approaches • monitoring and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region) * /*• people in place centered design for smart education*/ * • general frameworks and methodological advances • design, data and other relevant literacies • smart citizen’s literacies, skill and competences • communities and co-design in smart learning • sharing & participatory practices • open access to any resource and disparity • cultural influences * /*• supportive learning technologies for smart education*/ * • intelligent tutoring systems and interfaces • semantic web technologies and applications • text/opinion mining and sentiment analysis • real/virtual communities and social network analysis • interoperability and application of open/smart data and services • safety & security in education • IoT, ubiquitous and wearable technologies • adaptability to educational contexts and citizens • role of VR in education * ========================================================= /*Important dates:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline for papers submission: *March**31, 2022* • Notification to the authors: April 30, 2022 • Camera ready paper: May 15, 2022 • Conference: July 5-6, 2022 ========================================== /*Submissions:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- SLERD contributions of min. 4500 words and max. 16 pages.

The workshop focuses on the role which reflections, as in design thinking, and dialogues, as in ethnographic research, play in imagining, conceptualising, using, assessing smart technologies for different contexts and people, with a preference for learning contexts and learners. Workshop papers are expected to describe frameworks, methods, toolkits, experiences, studies or provocations with reflections and dialogues around smart technologies. Examples are toolkits which enable young generations to design smart things and reflect across their design (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212868921000660). Other examples are studies concerning design as a means for reflecting on stereotypes (http://www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/-(448ba68b-ca74-4b06…). The workshop is intended as a forum to share provocations concerning past research work, novel ideas grounded in the literature, work-in-progress prototypes, as well as preliminary results which intercept the theme of the workshop. In other words, workshop papers are expected to report on early or ongoing research activities, which have not yet got the maturity expected for the main-conference submissions. ================================================ TOPICS ================================================ Suggested topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: -Reflections in the creation, usage or evaluation of smart technologies -Responsibility or other critical reflections in technology enhanced learning -The role of dialogue in digital education -Field studies and ecological studies for reflecting with/around smart technologies -Playfulness, gamification and critical reflections with/around smart technologies -Responsibility in the design of smart solutions -Critical thinking in the design of smart cities, environments, things, artwork, artefacts -Dialogue and reflections in designing smart technologies at a distance -Dialogue and reflections in using smart technologies at a distance -Dialogue and reflections in assessing smart technologies at a distance -Dialogues and reflections in making or physical computing -Creativity, dialogues, reflections and smart technologies -Biases in smart technologies -Unveiling ethics concerns with/around smart technologies ================================================ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ================================================ Workshop contributions should be 10-page papers or exceptionally 6-page papers, including references; papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNNS template, available on the main-conference website of MIS4TEL.

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 all human endeavors, including creation, display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the Metaverse will evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, 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. More information can be found here: https://metroxraine.org/special-session-10 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 Metaverse - 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 factors issues related to Metaverse - Proof-of-Concept in Metaverse: Experimental Prototyping and Testbeds 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.

CfP - Deadline approaching: CoPDA 2022 "Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: AI for Humans or Humans for AI?"

by Barbara Rita Barricelli

--------------- Call for Papers --------------- CoPDA 2022 - 6th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: AI for Humans or Humans for AI? https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2022/ June 7, 2022 - Frascati (Rome), Italy In conjunction with AVI 2022 (https://sites.google.com/di.uniroma1.it/avi2022) -------- Overview -------- This edition of the CoPDA workshop will be dedicated to discussing the current hype about Artificial Intelligence (AI) by contrasting it with the objectives pursued by Human-Centered Design (HCD). The workshop will establish a forum to explore our basic assumption (and to provide at least partial evidence) that the most successful 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. Recognizing that AI is today one of the “hottest” topics in large parts of the world, this CoPDA edition will reflect on the role of HCD in the AI age. Mainly, we are not interested in discussing the design of user interfaces of systems with AI features per se; rather, grounded in research activities from a broad spectrum of academic disciplines, from computer science to social science, this CoPDA workshop will critically analyze the current hype about AI by contrasting it with the objectives pursued by HCD, in order to investigate the impact on individuals, social groups, and society as a whole. More precisely, the workshop will 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, etc. The workshop organizers encourage researchers to submit position papers that will consider these aspects. In summary, the workshop will aim at discussing the importance of HCD in the AI Age by considering several topics including (but not limited to): - Collective human-centered design - Collaborative learning - Cultures of participation - Meaningful human control - Adaptive, Adaptable, and Context-Aware Systems - Distributed cognition - Tacit knowledge and meaning making - Multi-dimensional aspects of learning - Big data and privacy - Learning analytics - Human-machine teaming systems - Explainability of AI-based decisions - Evaluation of AI-based systems - End-User Development for AI-based systems ----------- Submissions ----------- Authors are invited to submit a 5-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=copda2022 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 --------------- - Mar 27th, 2022: Submission deadline for position papers - Apr 27th, 2022: Notification of acceptance - May 8th, 2022: Camera ready - Jun 7th, 2022: CoPDA 2022 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 copda2022(a)easychair.org *Barbara Rita Barricelli, PhD* Assistant Professor Department of Information Engineering Università degli Studi di Brescia http://barbara-barricelli.unibs.it <http://barbara-barricelli.unibs.it> -- Informativa sulla Privacy: https://www.unibs.it/it/node/1452 <https://www.unibs.it/it/node/1452>

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 all human endeavors, including creation, display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the Metaverse will evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, 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. More information can be found here: https://metroxraine.org/special-session-10 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 Metaverse - 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 factors issues related to Metaverse - Proof-of-Concept in Metaverse: Experimental Prototyping and Testbeds 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.

1st CfP: 2022 EUSSET CSCW-Summer School - 22-26 August in Bolzano, Italy

by María Menéndez-Blanco

Dear list members, The EUSSET summer school on Computer Supported Cooperative Work will take place from the 22nd to the 26th of August in Bolzano. If you are a PhD or postdoc researcher in topics related to CSCW please consider applying - or forward it to those who might be interested. All the best, María ***************** Sixth International Summer School on Computer Supported Cooperative Work *2**2-26 August 2022, Bolzano, Italy.* *About* The CSCW Summer School provides young researchers (PhD or post-doc) with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of CSCW as a research field and community. The interaction among the participants (both teachers and students) will promote the generation of new ideas and their confrontation with the experiences they have acquired in their field research. *Aims and scope* After the introduction of the acronym CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) in the late 1980’ the themes connected with the understanding of collaborative work practices and the design of artefacts supporting collaboration have become pervasive in many scientific, business and social discourses. The domains in which CSCW can inform sociotechnical design are constantly growing and changing. This asks for a continuous elaboration of the *theoretical foundations* of the underpinning disciplines through a reflection on the outcomes of the *field studies*, on the *methods* applied in the social and technological investigations and on the *impact* of the technologies on practices they are made part of. The combination of these perspectives should be the patrimony of any researcher who wants to grasp the complex and subtle issues that are involved in the CSCW research area. *Program* The course will present central themes, methods and discussions within CSCW by experienced scholars in conversations with participants. The full program will be available on our website: www.eusset.eu/events/summer-school/. *Important dates* · - Application deadline: April 8, 2022 - Notification of acceptance: April 13, 2022 - Registration deadline: June 14, 2022 *Credits:* 7,5 ECTS *Location* The summer school will be held in Bolzano (Italy), and specifically at Maretsch Castle <https://goo.gl/maps/5w5iqWDVMGaesjc26>, a few minutes walking distance from the city centre. Most of Bolzano’s centre is a pedestrian area; and many hotels, the train station, and the main square are located within a one-kilometre radius. The city is in a beautiful alpine valley and surrounded by the Dolomites mountains. This scenic location makes it a popular touristic destination; if you plan to join us, we recommend booking your trip as early as possible.

IxD&A Journal - DOIs

by Carlo Giovannella

Dear all, this short email is to inform you that, since the editor of IxD&A Journal - ASLERD - became a member of Crossref, the Journal has now its own DOI, and from now on we will assign a DOI also to all papers that will be published in IxD&A Journal. As example you can find the DOI assigned to: IxD&A Journal -> link <http://ixdea.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php?s=102> or equivalently https://doi.org/10.55612/s-5002-000 (this can be used as URL of the landing page) Issue N.50 -> link <http://ixdea.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php?s=102&link=ToC_5…> or equivalently https://doi.org/10.55612/s-5002-050 papers -> have a look at the Table of contents (previous link) or to the pages containing the abstract of each paper that has been included in the issue. We have asked also to assign a DOI to the videos recorded during the "Meet the Authors" events but at the present it is not yet possible In the next future we will progressively back-extend the assignement of DOIs to all the papers published in the past on IxD&A Journal. If interested, from time to time you can have a check to the website of the journal. For future issues, we'll include the assigned DOI also in the downloadable .pdf files, together with the ORCID of the authors (if they will provide it). Kindest regards Carlo Giovannella

The proceedings are published by the ACM and will be part of the ACM Digital Library. ACM UMAP 2022 invites Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Results (LBR) papers of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes). You are encouraged to submit your Demo or LBR by April 15th, 2022. -------------------------------------------------------- ***Submission formats*** ============================ For more details, see below! *# Demonstrations* - Max. 5 pages + max. 1 additional page for references - (Required) unpublished page describing how they would present the demo virtually and/or in person - (Optional) video or external material demonstrating the system - Publication in ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings - Presentation as a (potentially virtual) demo + poster at the conference *# Late-Breaking Results* - Max. 7 pages + max. 2 additional pages for references - (NEW: required) unpublished page with a list of questions the authors aim to get feedback on - Publication in ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings - Presentation as a (potentially virtual) poster at the conference **Submission via** : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 ***Demonstrations*** ============================ Demonstrations will showcase research prototypes and commercially available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference. Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase implementations and to get valuable feedback from the community. Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how these will be demonstrated on-site as well as online. To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or YouTube) or any external material related to the demo (e.g., shared code on GitHub). Descriptions of demonstrations should have a length of max. 3 pages + 1 page of references in the new ACM single-column style. On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2022. Given uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, this extra page should also describe if/how the demo can be presented in a virtual setting (e.g. with a video or a live link to the system). ***Late-Breaking Results*** ============================ Late-Breaking Results (LBR) are research-in-progress that must contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization. In addition, papers introducing recently started research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well. We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit a late-breaking work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. Late-Breaking Results papers have a length of up to 7 pages + 2 pages of references in the new ACM single-column style and will be presented to the conference as (in-person and virtual) posters. On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a list of questions that the authors aim to get feedback on during the poster session at UMAP 2022. -------------------------------------------------------- ***Submission and Review Process*** ============================ Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized before submission. Papers (demo and LBR) must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. The templates and instructions are available here: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. Authors should submit their papers as single-column. The templates are available here (we strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting): - LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column): https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t… - Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column): https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-master-… - MS Word: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submissio… Note: Accepted papers will require a further revision to meet the requirements and page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the papers will be provided after acceptance. The ACM Code of Ethics gives the UMAP program committee the right to (desk-)reject papers that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, employ unethical research practices, or uncritically present outcomes/implications that clearly disadvantage minority communities. Submit your papers in PDF format via EasyChair for ACM UMAP 2022 Demos and Late-Breaking Results at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 (choose *New Submission* and make sure to select *UMAP 2022 Demo and LBR* track). The review process will be single-blind, i.e. authors' names should be included in the papers. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall readability. Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the formatting guidelines will be returned without review. -------------------------------------------------------- ***Publication and Presentation*** ============================ Accepted Demo and Late-Breaking Results papers will be published in the ACM UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Papers will be accessible from the UMAP '22 website through ACM OpenToc Service for one year after publication in the ACM Digital Library. All categories will be presented at the poster reception of the conference, in the form of a poster and/or a software demonstration following poster format. This form of presentation will provide presenters with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the conference. Due to the uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the poster session may be partially or fully virtual. **To be included in the Proceedings, at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.** -------------------------------------------------------- ***Late-Breaking Results and Demo Chairs*** ============================ - Cataldo Musto, University of Bari, Italy - Veronika Bogina, University of Haifa, Israel - Contact: umap2022-lpd(a)um.org -------------------------------------------------------- ***Follow UMAP 2022 on Social Media*** ============================ - Twitter: @UMAPconf #umap2022 (https://twitter.com/UMAPconf) - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/acmumap
