ACM UMAP 2021 – User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users, to groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information.
ACM UMAP 2021 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 March 26th, 2021.
Submission formats
For more details, see below!
Demonstrations
• Max. 3 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• (Required) unpublished page describing how they would present the demo virtually and/or in person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 2021 Adjunct Proceedings
• Presentation as a 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• (NEW: required) unpublished page with a list of questions the authors aim to get feedback on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 2021 Adjunct Proceedings
• Presentation as a virtual poster at the conference
Submission via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021
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 On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2021. 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 2021.
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.
Submit your papers in PDF format via EasyChair for ACM UMAP 2021 Demos and Late-Breaking Results at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021 (choose “New Submission” and make sure to select “UMAP 2021 Demo and LBR”).
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 2021 Adjunct Proceedings 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.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.

INTERACT 2021
Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2021, Bari, Italy
https://interact2021.org
------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERACT 2021 is the 18th International Conference promoted by the IFIP
Technical Committee 13 on Human–Computer Interaction. INTERACT is held
every two years.
The theme of INTERACT 2021 is “Sense, Feel, Design”, highlighting new
challenges of interaction design. Technology is today more and more
widespread, pervasive and blended in the world we live in. On one side,
devices that sense humans' activities have the potential to provide an
enriched interaction. On the other side, the user experience can be
further enhanced by exploiting multisensorial technologies. Not only the
traditional human senses of vision and hearing, but also senses of
touch, smell, and taste, as well as emotions are to be taken into
account when designing for future interactions. INTERACT 2021 is the
right venue to debate such new challenges. Another new topic of this
edition is Human-AI Interaction, focusing on the design of
human-centered intelligent systems.
Conference proceedings are published in Springer LNCS series and are
available in the Springer Digital Library.
We invite you to submit your original work to INTERACT 2021 in the
following tracks by *April 16th, 2021*:
- Short Papers
- Posters
- Interactive Demos
- Courses
- Doctoral Consortium
- Industrial Experiences
- Panels
All contributions are peer reviewed, juried or curated by the members of
the international program committee.
INTERACT 2021 will be held in Bari, a beautiful city on the Adriatic
coast of Southern Italy.
The hotel Villa Romanazzi Carducci will host the conference. With its
liberty-period villa immersed in a nice park characterized by a variety
of trees along various pathways, this hotel provides a great context for
welcoming the INTERACT participants.
All precautions to ensure participants’ health safety will be taken. The
evolution of the pandemic will be carefully monitored and those who
could not travel due to COVID-19 will be allowed to present and
participate online to the conference.

PATCH Workshop @ UMAP 2021 - FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
NEWS: Extended Deadline!
Due to several requests, papers are now due by* April 2, 2021.*
------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
The 12th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage
(PATCH 2021) co-located with ACM UMAP 2021 - Online
https://patch2021.di.unito.it/
Abstract and Topics
Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2021 will be
again the meeting point between state of the art cultural heritage (CH)
research and personalization research. For those using any kind of
technology, while focusing on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, 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 of
mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance
the CH visit experience. The expected result of the workshop is a
multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research
directions and hopefully, forge some research collaborations.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-
Adaptive navigation and personalized browsing in digital and physical
cultural heritage collections and in CH sites
-
Ambient Cultural Heritage
-
Personalization for group of visitors to CH sites
-
Personalization for collective CH information authoring and management

Personalized support to the exploration of Cultural and Natural Heritage
Motivation
Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a privileged area for
personalization research, as highlighted by the many H2020 calls on this
topic. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing to experience and
learn new things, usually without a clear idea of what to expect. CH sites
are typically rich in objects and information; much more than the visitor
can absorb during the limited time of a visit. As discussed by Falk (2009),
visitors to CH sites differ and their visit experience involves a
combination of the physical, the personal, and the socio-cultural context
and identity-related aspects. Hence, they may benefit from individualized
support that takes into account contextual and personal attributes.
However, personalization brings two main challenges:
-
Firstly, can we support CH exploration for first-time and anonymous
visitors, taking into account that many people access cultural sites only
once, or they interact with digital services anonymously?
-
Secondly, when it is possible to track users along time, can we provide
an engaging experience for the ‘digital’, ‘mobile’ and ‘traditional’ CH
visitors before, during and after a visit by exploiting information from
previous interactions on CH sites and elsewhere on the ubiquitous Web?
Further, an interesting problem to explore is whether this kind of support
can be a basis for maintaining a lifelong chain of personalized CH
experiences. This is true, not only in “traditional” CH sites, but also in
urban environments, which reflect the varied history of mankind and offer
places and objects representing shared values for the population, to be
preserved and valued.
Submissions
Regular papers: up to 10 pages excluding references;
Position paper/Demo papers: up to 4 pages excluding references.
Papers that exceed the page limits or formatting guidelines will be
returned without review.
Submissions should be single blinded, i.e. authors names should be included

COVID-19 STATUS - UPDATE
========================
The 29th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization will be
a hybrid conference.
We will be happy to welcome all of you who are willing, able and allowed to
travel in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
We are still figuring out all the details, which we hope to announce bit by
bit during the next couple of months.
Stay tuned for further updates.
=========
ABSTRACT
=========
Adaptive and personalized systems have become pervasive technologies which
are gradually playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives.
Indeed, we are now used to interact every day with algorithms that help us
in several scenarios, ranging from services that suggest us music to be
listened to or movies to be watched, to personal assistants able to
proactively support us in complex decision-making tasks.
As the importance of such technologies in our everyday lives grows, it is
fundamental that the internal mechanisms that guide
these algorithms are as clear as possible. It is not by chance that the
recent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) emphasized the
users' right to explanation when people face machine learning-based (or
more in general - artificial intelligence-based) systems. Unfortunately,
the current research tends to go in the opposite direction, since most of
the approaches try to maximize the effectiveness of the personalization
strategy
(e.g., recommendation accuracy) at the expense of the explainability and the
transparency of the model.
The main research questions which arise from this scenario is simple and
straightforward: how can we deal with such a dichotomy between the need for
effective adaptive systems and the right to transparency and
interpretability?
Several research lines are triggered by this question: building scrutable
user models and transparent algorithms, analyzing the impact of opaque
algorithms on
final users, studying the role of explanation strategies, investigating how
to provide users with more control in the personalization and adaptation
problems.
The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing such problems,
challenges and innovative re-search approaches in the area, by investigating
the role of transparency
and explainability on the re-cent methodologies for building user models or
for developing personalized and adaptive systems.
======

Dear colleagues,
We are happy to announce the call for papers for our *workshop on Nature
and HCI* at the upcoming *CHItaly'21 conference*.
In 2020, when most of the world population has experienced limitations to
free mobility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, socialization and outdoor life
started to be strongly desired and dreamed. Technologies such as
smartphones, cameras, sports trackers, electronic tourist guides,
head-mounted displays have the potential to enable, enhance or disrupt
users' experience of and interaction with nature, broadly intended as an
open-air setting that includes cities, peripheries, rural areas, wild
natural environments. Thus, the use of technology outdoors offers a wide
range of interesting aspects and challenges to be investigated, such as
individual wellbeing, knowledge generation, sustainability, and social
issues. Resonating with the CHItaly theme "Frontiers of HCI", this workshop
aims to bring together researchers exploring the frontiers of
i) using technology outdoors, in terms of scope, opportunities, and
limitations;
ii) spaces that are not only natural or artificial but hybrid and offer
opportunities for remote and asynchronous outdoor experiences;
iii) interaction design in accounting for human interests over a variety of
non-human ecologies.
For further information, visit our website:
https://sites.google.com/view/naturehci/home.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
- Technology enabling/enhancing/augmenting the natural experience
- Ecotourism
- The political ecology of interaction design
- Outdoor sports
- Citizen science
- Socialization outdoors (e.g., parks and public spaces, community
gardening)
- Education & Serious leisure outdoors
- Environmental sustainability
- Technology for outdoor safety and safety when using technology outdoors
- Natural and cultural heritage (e.g., cultural landscapes)
- The indoorisation of natural elements (e.g., indoorisation of outdoor
sports, virtual/augmented reality)
HOW TO APPLY?
Three types of submissions are welcome:
- *Position papers* where authors discuss one of the workshop topics and
describe how their expertise may be of interest for the workshop discussion
(2 pages, references excluded);
- *Original research presenting preliminary insights/results*. We
welcome work at all development stages: papers can describe applied
systems, empirical findings, or theoretically grounded positions (from 4 to
6 pages, references excluded);
- *Critical design fiction*, in which authors may explore the future
consequences of a prolonged distancing, limited experience of the outdoors,
or the different mediating roles technology can have (from 4 to 6 pages,
references excluded).

Dear list members,
The submission deadline for the Interactive Experiences at CHItaly is
approaching! We welcome prototypes and installations that explore,
represent, and challenge the frontier of HCI.
Please check further details and the submission options on our website:
https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html
And don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

****
In the last months, we have been shaping the Interactive Experiences track
at CHItaly'21. It is the first time the conference will be hosting this
track and we want it to be a venue for exploring, representing, and
challenging the frontiers of HCI through prototypes and installations. The
call for participation is now open and we thought it could be of interest
to some of the members of this list.
So, what could be an example of an Interactive Experience? A prototype of a
digital platform empowering grassroots, an interactive visualization of a
complex issue, an artistic experiment exploring more-than-human
interactions, a critical design artifact that challenges predominant
narratives of digital futures, and not only. If it sounds interesting,
check the details, submission options, and our fantastic committee on our
website:
https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html
We are hoping to safely welcome some of you to Bolzano (Italy) in July but,
in case it is not possible, online participation will also be available.
Submission deadline: 19th March 2021

COVID-19 STATUS - UPDATE
========================
The 29th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization will be a virtual conference. We are still figuring out all the details, which we hope to announce bit by bit during the next couple of months. Stay tuned for further updates.
=========
ABSTRACT
=========
Adaptive and personalized systems have become pervasive technologies which are gradually playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives. Indeed, we are now used to interact every day with algorithms that help us in several scenarios, ranging from services that suggest us music to be listened to or movies to be watched, to personal assistants able to proactively support us in complex decision-making tasks.
As the importance of such technologies in our everyday lives grows, it is fundamental that the internal mechanisms that guide these algorithms are as clear as possible. It is not by chance that the recent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) emphasized the users’ right to explanation when people face machine learning-based (or more in general - artificial intelligence-based) systems. Unfortunately, the current research tends to go in the opposite direction, since most of the approaches try to maximize the effectiveness of the personalization strategy (e.g., recommendation accuracy) at the expense of the explainability and the transparency of the model.
The main research questions which arise from this scenario is simple and straightforward: how can we deal with such a dichotomy between the need for effective adaptive systems and the right to transparency and interpretability?
Several research lines are triggered by this question: building scrutable user models and transparent al-gorithms, analyzing the impact of opaque algorithms on final users, studying the role of explanation strategies, investigating how to provide users with more control in the personalization and adaptation problems.
The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing such problems, challenges and innovative re-search approaches in the area, by investigating the role of transparency and explainability on the re-cent methodologies for building user models or for developing personalized and adaptive systems.
======

Personalized support to the exploration of Cultural and Natural Heritage
Motivation
Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a privileged area for
personalization research, as highlighted by the many H2020 calls on this
topic. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing to experience and
learn new things, usually without a clear idea of what to expect. CH sites
are typically rich in objects and information; much more than the visitor
can absorb during the limited time of a visit. As discussed by Falk (2009),
visitors to CH sites differ and their visit experience involves a
combination of the physical, the personal, and the socio-cultural context
and identity-related aspects. Hence, they may benefit from individualized
support that takes into account contextual and personal attributes.
However, personalization brings two main challenges:
-
Firstly, can we support CH exploration for first-time and anonymous
visitors, taking into account that many people access cultural sites only
once, or they interact with digital services anonymously?
-
Secondly, when it is possible to track users along time, can we provide
an engaging experience for the ‘digital’, ‘mobile’ and ‘traditional’ CH
visitors before, during and after a visit by exploiting information from
previous interactions on CH sites and elsewhere on the ubiquitous Web?
Further, an interesting problem to explore is whether this kind of support
can be a basis for maintaining a lifelong chain of personalized CH
experiences. This is true, not only in “traditional” CH sites, but also in
urban environments, which reflect the varied history of mankind and offer
places and objects representing shared values for the population, to be
preserved and valued.

Call For Papers: Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation
during Pandemics In conjunction with the ACM International Conference
on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2021)
The GoodIT conference is sponsored by ACM SIGCAS, the Association for
Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computers & Society.
The conference focuses on the application of IT technologies to social
good.
The Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation during
Pandemics focuses on new data technologies based on artificial
intelligence, data governance, machine learning, natural language
processing, and social network analysis to aid experts in analyzing
large volumes of social media data in order to detect fake news,
misinformation, and disinformation. A number of open challenges need
more investigation from the research community, such as recent trends
in composing information disorder by combining false and real content,
the mechanisms that drive fake content diffusion during pandemics, how
to differentiate fake content from personal viewpoints, why people
tend to believe fake content and make decisions based on it during
pandemics, and what are the different motivations behind the
dissemination of fake content. Fact-checking and claim verification
are two important strategies that are worth incorporating in the
automated tackling and curtailment of fake content during and after
pandemics.

*CALL FOR SCIENTIFIC VIDEO *
=========================================================
*6th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional
Development - SLERD Reload**
**Smart Learning Ecosystems and the Regional Development after the
pandemic.*
*June 24-25, 2021*
/*Bucharest, Romania (blended)*/

=========================================================
Deadline for video submission: *April 30, 2021
call for scientific video contest
<http://slerd2019.uniroma2.it/scientific-video-contest/>
* *=========================================================
*
**
Videos offer a dynamic way to communicate any kind of content and are
used especially by young generations to share ideas, connect and
discuss. Even in the academic sector, scientific video documents are an
emerging way to communicate concepts and research results and might
become in the near future an excellent alternative to scientific papers.
With this call – which is targeting Ph. D students, graduate students
(within 2 years after the graduation), students with research
fellowships, master's degree students– we aim to explore this new
scientific communication channel.
Candidates are invited to submit a scientific video document (max.
duration 3 mins.), where they are expected to elaborate on the notion of
“smart learning ecosystem” in the context of their research (what's a
smart learning ecosystem?) and present their contribution to the field
(what are you doing to further develop the notion?).
Videos should be creative and lively objects, similar to ‘elevator
pitches’. Nonetheless, while answering to the above mentioned questions,
you should keep your video a “scientific communication document”, thus
following - as far as this is possible in 3 mins - a “scientific format”
(for example stating your research questions, mentioning the methods,
describing your results).
IMPORTANT: If you need support and/or want to learn more about how to
produce a scientific video document, we invite you to participate in one
short free-of-charge workshop“HOW TO MAKE YOUR RESEARCH VISIBLE”.
See thefull text of the call
<http://slerd2019.uniroma2.it/scientific-video-contest/>, for more
information about the workshop and how to register.
A Jury will select a maximum of 6 videos as finalists for presentation
at the conference during a dedicated session. Finalists will be invited
to participate in the session and their contribution to the discussion
will also be taken into consideration by the Jury for the final awarding.
A maximum of 3 “BEST SCIENTIFIC VIDEO DOCUMENTS”will be awarded with a
certificate issued by ASLERD, as well as with a prize as it follows:
*
500 € for the 1st prize·
*
300 € for the 2nd prize·
*
300 € for the 3rd prize.
The 3 best videos will be uploaded on the ASLERD website/YouTube channel.
The Jury reserves the possibility to award special mentions.
*Important dates:*Video submission: 30thApril, 2021Notification to
candidates: 31stMay, 2021Participation by finalists in the live session
at the conference and prize awarding: possibly 25thJune, 2021 (to be
confirmed).**

On behalf of the SIGCHI Executive Committee
Dear colleagues,
We are happy to open the call for papers in our workshop on transferable UX at the upcoming ECSCW’21. We hope that you can consider participating.
The online ECSCW 2021 workshop on “Challenges of transferring UX designs and insights across products and services”<https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/zpac/ws-ecscw2021.html> aims to bring together practitioners and scholars working on conceptualization, maintenance, and preservation of transferable UX artifacts within their organizations.
In this workshop, we aim on synthesizing the challenges and highlighting opportunities of transferring UX insights while developing multiple products and services. We ask: “How can we depart from a paradigm of designing a single product and turn to the holistic UX design approach at work?” Instead of focusing on a product, we call UX researchers, designers, experts and practitioners, to center on an ecology of artifacts, e.g. a portfolio. This, in turn, may help to improve existing work environments and to develop novel integrated work environments, where many actors need to effectively coordinate their actions using a myriad of tools. That change, ultimately, may lead not only to improved quality of work and create pleasurable experiences for the end-users, but also establish a ground for successful company-wide collaboration when it comes to preserving and transferring UX insights and rules.
We call for participants from diverse backgrounds to contribute to a critical discussion at the intersection of design, enterprise architecture, product/portfolio management, and agile software development to create a UX research agenda for designing integrated digital work environments, unpacking development, users, and change perspectives to aid establishing long-living UX practices that extend across projects and overtime.
More details: https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/zpac/ws-ecscw2021.html
HOW TO APPLY?
To apply, please submit a position paper (2-4 pages, template<https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/ecscw-2021_word/>) explaining your interests and experience in transferable UX in relation to the workshop theme<https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/zpac/ws-ecscw2021/ws-theme.html> in PDF format by April 9, 2021 by emailing it to transferable-ux(a)ifi.uzh.ch . To promote broader participation from UX design practitioners (e.g., UX researchers, UX designers, Product Managers, Portfolio Managers, Enterprise Architects, Human Factors Specialists), and design leaders, we offer the option of submitting alternative material in the form of a design portfolio, a case study, or the like.

MIXR - 1st International Workshop on Multi-party Interaction in eXtended
Reality
Hosted @CHItaly 2021 (14th Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter)
July 12th, 2021 (morning)
Website: https://mixr-chitaly2021.github.io
XR, or eXtended Reality, is an umbrella term that encompasses the areas of
AR, VR, and MR, with strong emphasis on immersiveness, multimodality and
presence. XR is a multidisciplinary field incorporating subjects such as
computer science, psychology, cognitive science, and digital humanities.
Within XR, collaborative environments is one of the fastest growing areas,
as can be seen by the number of social VR worlds available today. Most of
these environments focus on the graphical aspects of the environment, not
fully taking advantage of multimodal and multi-party design. Interaction in
these environments is largely limited to text chats and, in the case of a
few systems, voice interaction.
Deeper and more meaningful engagement and interaction in XR can be achieved
by leveraging the principles of Social Signal Processing (SSP) and
Affective Computing (AC). Due to the simultaneous one-to-one and
one-to-many interactions that establish and evolve over time, Multi-party
(group) Interaction in XR is a complex process, whose analysis is still an
open challenge in SSP/AC.
Nowadays, the need for exploring Multi-party Interaction in XR settings is
expanding, as people are increasingly meeting remotely through
teleconferencing tools for practical reasons (e.g., working and living
abroad) or, for example, as a result of the social restrictions related to
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
MIXR seeks to progress research on Multi-party Interaction in XR by
pursuing the following objectives:
- to investigate how social science theories and models of Multi-party
Interaction can be applied in or possibly adapted to XR scenarios
- to develop techniques for collecting multimodal data of Multi-party
Interaction
- to promote interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration between
scholars in Computer Science and Social Sciences on XR, Social Signal
Processing, Affective Computing, Multi-party Interaction
Topics
We invite participants to submit short (6 pages) papers that focus on
Multi-party Interaction in XR. Topics of interest include Multi-Party
(team/group) Interaction in XR, covering the following research areas:
- Emotion recognition and expression
- Movement expressivity
- Team emergent states and dynamics
- Joint activity/collaboration
- Immersive CSCW
- Education and creativity
- Serious games
- Multimodality
- Interaction fidelity
- Theoretical models
- System/interface ergonomics
- Novel technologies
Submissions/Proceedings
Short papers (6 pages) can be submitted through EasyChair:

CHItaly 2021 - Frontiers of HCI
CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM PAPERS
The International Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter
================================================
11–13 July 2021
https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/
Location: From Bozen-Bolzano through the Internet to the World
In cooperation with SIGCHI Italy and ACM-SIGCHI
================================================
THEME
================================================
The theme for the 14th Edition of the Biannual Conference (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it) of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (http://sigchitaly.eu/en/general-info/) was defined in summer 2019 as “Frontiers of HCI”. At that time, we were thinking about disciplinary and national boundaries. Little did we know of the many frontiers this hybrid conference would have to overcome to create a safe space for HCI related discussions. To overcome this challenge, CHItaly combines physical and digital events while providing synchronous and asynchronous spaces for dialogue.
So far, CHItaly has physically hosted HCI scholars working in the Mediterranean and other European countries. The aim of CHItaly 2021 is to connect research and geographical areas, so as to explore frontiers and cross-fertilise HCI research in practice. From this perspective, a hybrid conference can become an incredible experimentation space which you are all invited to shape.
To reach its aims, the conference
1. solicits contributions from diverse research communities relevant to HCI, such as Science and Technology Studies, Technology Enhanced Learning, Interaction Design and Digital Fabrication, Design and the Arts, besides traditional fields such as computer science, engineering and psychology
2. opens its physical and digital doors to industry, civic societies and citizens.
Join CHItaly either virtually or physically to expand the frontiers of HCI.
================================================
DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM: SPECIFICATIONS
================================================
The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide a setting in which PhD students can present and receive feedback on their work. Students at different stages of their research will be able to articulate and discuss their problem statement, goals, methods, and results. The Doctoral Consortium also aims to provide students with useful guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and the other student attendees. Finally, the Doctoral Consortium seeks to motivate students in the development of their scientific curiosity and facilitate their networking within the research community.
The topics of the Doctoral Consortium are the same as CHItaly’s. The main scope of the consortium is to enable PhD students to interact with their peers, as well as with more senior researchers, on a wide range of Human-Computer Interaction related topics, and related to the conference theme.
The consortium is open to PhD students worldwide at any stage in their research. Students at an initial stage should be able to challenge their ideas and current research directions. Students at a more mature stage should be able to present their thesis and get advice on ways to further improve and better communicate their contributions and findings. Participation is particularly encouraged from PhD students who are close to proposing a thesis.
================================================
PAPER FORMAT AND PROCEEDINGS
================================================
Submitted papers must be in English and single-author, but the name of the supervisor could be mentioned within the paper. Papers must be 5-page long 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.
Papers must:
identify a significant problem in the field of research
outline the current status of the problem domain and related solutions
describe the contribution of the student by presenting the proposed approach and the results achieved so far
Accepted papers will be collected and published in CEUR-WS proceedings.
Each author of an accepted paper will present orally his/her contribution the first day of the conference.

PATCH Workshop @UMAP 2021 - CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
The 12th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage
(PATCH 2021) co-located with ACM UMAP 2021 - Online and in Utrecht, The
Netherlands.
https://patch2021.di.unito.it/
Abstract and Topics
Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2021 will be
again the meeting point between state of the art cultural heritage (CH)
research and personalization research. For those using any kind of
technology, while focusing on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, 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 of
mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance
the CH visit experience. The expected result of the workshop is a
multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research
directions and hopefully, forge some research collaborations.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-
Adaptive navigation and personalized browsing in digital and physical
cultural heritage collections and in CH sites
-
Ambient Cultural Heritage
-
Personalization for group of visitors to CH sites
-
Personalization for collective CH information authoring and management

-
Personalized support to the exploration of Cultural and Natural Heritage
Motivation
Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a privileged area for
personalization research, as highlighted by the many H2020 calls on this
topic. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing to experience and
learn new things, usually without a clear idea of what to expect. CH sites
are typically rich in objects and information; much more than the visitor
can absorb during the limited time of a visit. As discussed by Falk (2009),
visitors to CH sites differ and their visit experience involves a
combination of the physical, the personal, and the socio-cultural context
and identity-related aspects. Hence, they may benefit from individualized
support that takes into account contextual and personal attributes.
However, personalization brings two main challenges:
-
Firstly, can we support CH exploration for first-time and anonymous
visitors, taking into account that many people access cultural sites only
once, or they interact with digital services anonymously?
-
Secondly, when it is possible to track users along time, can we provide
an engaging experience for the ‘digital’, ‘mobile’ and ‘traditional’ CH
visitors before, during and after a visit by exploiting information from
previous interactions on CH sites and elsewhere on the ubiquitous Web?
Further, an interesting problem to explore is whether this kind of support
can be a basis for maintaining a lifelong chain of personalized CH
experiences. This is true, not only in “traditional” CH sites, but also in
urban environments, which reflect the varied history of mankind and offer
places and objects representing shared values for the population, to be
preserved and valued.
Submissions
Regular papers: up to 10 pages excluding references;
Position paper/Demo papers: up to 4 pages excluding references.
Papers that exceed the page limits or formatting guidelines will be
returned without review.
Submissions should be single blinded, i.e. authors names should be included
in the submissions.
Papers 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.
All papers should be submitted in PDF format via the online submission
system by selecting the track "Workshop-PATCH":
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021.
An international panel of experts will review all submissions.
Work that has already been published should not be submitted unless it
introduces a significant addition to the previously published work.
There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all
the workshop papers will be published.
Important dates:
March 26, 2021: Submission deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time)
April 19, 2021: Notification deadline (23:59 PM Hawaiian time)

CHItaly 2021 - Frontiers of HCI
The Hybrid International Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter
https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html
In cooperation with SIGCHI Italy and ACM-SIGCHI
LAST CALL FOR LONG AND SHORT RESEARCH PAPERS
Deadline (strict): Feb 28th 2021
================================================
THEME
================================================
The theme for the 14th Edition of the Biannual Conference (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it<https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/>) of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (http://sigchitaly.eu/en/general-info/) was defined in summer 2019 as “Frontiers of HCI”. At that time, we were thinking about disciplinary and national boundaries. Little did we know of the many frontiers this hybrid conference would have to overcome to create a safe space for HCI related discussions. To overcome this challenge, CHItaly combines physical and digital events while providing synchronous and asynchronous spaces for dialogue.
So far, CHItaly has physically hosted HCI scholars working in the Mediterranean and other European countries. The aim of CHItaly 2021 is to connect research and geographical areas, so as to explore frontiers and cross-fertilise HCI research in practice. From this perspective, a hybrid conference can become an incredible experimentation space which you are all invited to shape.
To reach its aims, the conference
1. solicits contributions from diverse research communities relevant to HCI, such as Science and Technology Studies, Technology Enhanced Learning, Interaction Design and Digital Fabrication, Design and the Arts, besides traditional fields such as computer science, engineering and psychology
2. opens its physical and digital doors to industry, civic societies and citizens.
Join CHItaly either virtually or physically to expand the frontiers of HCI.
================================================
RESEARCH PAPERS AND TOPICS
================================================
The research track of the conference will be hybrid, blending digital and physical frontiers. Contributions to the research track are in the form of either long or short research papers.
Long papers present original and substantially new research in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and at the frontiers of HCI. They clearly indicate innovative aspects. Research procedures or technical aspects are presented in sufficient detail to ensure scrutiny and reproducibility. Results are communicated according to scholarly standards, and implications of the contributions/findings for HCI have to be explicitly discussed.
Short papers present original and provocative research or novel applications in HCI. Merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance for HCI rather than maturity, extensive technical validation, or research studies. Examples of contributions might include but are not limited to: early-stage frontier research, techniques, technologies or prototypes with or without an in-depth evaluation; a self-contained innovative qualitative study for HCI; the design of novel systems, services or demos for hands-on interaction.
Both types of papers are archival publications of original research in the field of HCI, and related to the conference theme and topics.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following ones, divided into traditional topics for HCI and frontier topics, at the intersection with other fields, for the advancement of HCI.
