IntRS'21 Joint Workshop on Interfaces and Human Decision Making for Recommender Systems - 2nd Cfp

by Giovanni Semeraro

Joint Workshop on Interfaces and Human Decision Making for Recommender Systems IntRS'21: https://intrs2021.wordpress.com/ Held in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2021) Amsterdam, Netherlands, 25th September 2021. Full day. Submission deadline: Jul. 20th, 2021 Author notification: Aug. 20th, 2021 Camera-ready version: Aug. 31st, 2021 Submission site --------------------- https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=intrs2021 Recommender systems are developed to help users in finding items that match their interests, needs, and preferences. Since the emergence of recommender systems, the majority of research in this area focused on improving predictive accuracy of recommendation. Much less attention has been paid to how users interact with the system and the efficacy of interface designs from users perspectives. The field has reached a point where it is necessary to look beyond algorithms, into users interactions, decision making processes, and overall end user experience. The IntRS workshop series focuses on the human side of recommender systems. Its goal is to integrate modern HCI approaches and theories of human decision making into the construction of recommender systems. It focuses particularly on the impact of interfaces on decision support and overall satisfaction. IntRS workshops have been previously held at RecSys 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The aim of the IntRS21 workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners exploring the topics of designing and evaluating novel intelligent interfaces for recommender systems in order to: (1) share research and techniques, including new design technologies and evaluation methodologies, (2) identify next key challenges in the area, and (3) identify emerging topics. This workshop aims at establishing an interdisciplinary community with a focus on the interface design issues for recommender systems and promoting the collaboration opportunities between researchers and practitioners. We particularly encourage demos and mock-ups of systems to be used as a basis of a lively and interactive discussion in the workshop. In our opinion, the workshop will complement the technical aspects mainly discussed at the Conference with specific topics related to cognitive modeling and decision making. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: o Interaction, user modeling, and decision-making - Cognitive Modeling for recommender systems - Human-recommender interaction - Decision theories and biases (e.g., priming, framing, and decoy effects) - Detection and mitigation of decision biases (e.g., in item presentations) - Preference detection (e.g., eye tracking for automated preference detection) - Emotions and mood in recommender systems (e.g., emotion-aware recommendation) - Personality in recommender systems (e.g., personality-aware recommendation) - Trust inspiring recommender systems and interfaces (e.g., explanation-aware recommendation) - Controllability, transparency, and scrutability - Argumentation and persuasive recommendation (e.g., argumentation-aware recommendation) - Cultural differences (e.g., culture-aware recommendation) - Mechanisms for effective group decision making (e.g., group recommendation heuristics) - Decision theories for effective group decision making (e.g., hidden profile management) - Voting Advice Applications o User Interfaces - Visual interfaces for recommender systems - Explanation interfaces for recommender systems - Collaborative multi-user interfaces (e.g., for group decision making) - Spoken and natural language interfaces - Trust-aware interfaces - Social interfaces - Context-aware interfaces - Ubiquitous and mobile interfaces - Conversational interfaces - Example- and demonstration-based interfaces - New approaches to designing interfaces for recommender systems - User interfaces for decision making (e.g., decision strategies and user ratings) o Evaluation - Case studies - Benchmarking platforms - Empirical studies and evaluations of interfaces for recommender systems - Empirical studies and evaluations of new interaction designs - Evaluation methods and metrics (e.g., evaluation questionnaire design) Submissions ---------------- Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=intrs2021 We encourage two types of submissions, which address novel interface issues in recommender systems: - Short/Demo papers. The maximum length is 8 pages in the new single-column format. - Long papers. The maximum length is 14 pages in the 8 pages in the new single-column format. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. For short papers we will encourage alternative modes of presentation such as demos, playing out of scenarios, mockups, and alternate media such as video. Demonstration sessions will provide the opportunity to show innovative interface designs for recommender systems. Accepted papers will be included in workshop proceedings to be published on the CEUR-WS.org site. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper needs to register and attend the workshop.

Paper Invitation: [Applied Sciences] Special Issue "Human and Artificial Intelligence"

by Giuseppe Sansonetti

***** Apologies for multiple postings ***** Dear Colleagues, The following special issue of which we are the guest editors will be published in Applied Sciences (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci <http://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci>), and is now open to receive submissions of full research articles and comprehensive review papers for peer-review and possible publication: Special Issue: "Human and Artificial Intelligence <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/special_issues/Human_Artificial_Intell…>" Website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/special_issues/Human_Artificial_Intell… <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/special_issues/Human_Artificial_Intell…> Guest Editors: Prof. Dr. Alessandro Micarelli (Roma Tre University, Italy) Dr. Giuseppe Sansonetti (Roma Tre University, Italy) Dr. Giuseppe D’Aniello (University of Salerno, Italy) Deadline for manuscript submissions: 20 September 2021 In recent years, significant advances have been made toward the realization of General Artificial Intelligence, especially in the Machine Learning (ML) (e.g., Deep Learning) domain. Several real-world tasks, however, cannot yet be solved by machines alone. Systems are hence needed that rely on the integration of Human and Artificial Intelligence to solve the most complex problems. In many academic and industrial intelligent agents, communication between humans and computers is a key factor. Many challenges, however, can hinder successful cooperation between the two actors. ML algorithms, for instance, fail to provide explanations for their actions, while human cognitive overload and human out-of-the-loop syndrome may result in lower performance. It is open to both original research articles and review articles covering all the relevant progress in these fields (though is not limited to the following): New technologies and frameworks that support human–machine interaction and human–machine collaborative intelligence; Machine learning (e.g., deep learning) to understand human behavior; Explainable Artificial Intelligence; Human factors in Artificial Intelligence; Human teaming with autonomous systems; Situation-aware intelligent systems; Artificial intelligence for cyberphysical–social systems; Emotion Artificial Intelligence (e.g., sentiment analysis); Brain–computer modeling for human–machine cooperation; Decision support systems in different domains (e.g., logistics, smart factory, healthcare); Personalized systems (e.g., user profiling, e-learning, recommender systems). Applied Sciences is an online, peer-reviewed, open access journal, published quarterly by MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland. The journal is covered by Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) [search for "Applied Sciences-Basel"], Scopus, INSPEC (IET) and other databases. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision provided to authors approximately 17 days after submission; acceptance to publication is undertaken in 5.7 days (median values for papers published in the first six months of 2018). An Article Processing Charges (APC) of 2000 CHF for Applied Sciences apply to accepted papers. You may be entitled to a discount if you have previously received a discount code or if your institute has established an institutional membership with MDPI, for more information see http://www.mdpi.com/about/memberships <http://www.mdpi.com/about/memberships>. For further details on the submission process, please see the instructions for authors at http://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/instructions <http://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/instructions> We look forward to hearing back from you soon. Kind Regards, Alessandro Micarelli Giuseppe Sansonetti Giuseppe D'Aniello

CfP - OzCHI 2021 - 33rd Australian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction

by Alessandro Soro

Carissimi tutti, e’ un grandissimo piacere per me inoltrare questa CfP per la 33-esima edizione della conferenza australiana di human computer interaction OzCHI. Come nel 2020, OzCHI anche quest’anno sara’ online, che non e’ proprio come vedersi di persona, ma per lo meno permette di incontrarsi senza dover volare per 48 ore 😊 Un abbraccio a tutti, e non esitate a contattare me o uno degli altri track chairs per qualunque domanda. Alessandro. *apologies for cross-posting* Dear Colleagues, it is our great pleasure to invite you to contribute to the 33rd Australian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (OzCHI 2021 http://www.ozchi.org/2021/) OzCHI is the annual non-profit conference for the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) and Australia's leading forum for the latest in HCI research and practice. OzCHI attracts a broad international community of researchers, industry practitioners, academics, and students. Participants come from a range of backgrounds and include interaction designers, user experience (UX) practitioners, information architects, software engineers, human factors experts, information systems analysts and social scientists. This year, OzCHI will be held as a virtual conference with Papers and Late-Breaking Work / Case Studies tracks, and more tracks to be announced soon. Important dates Conference Dates: 30 November - 03 December 2021 – Location ONLINE Papers 20 August 2021: Paper submission deadline 1 October 2021: Notification of accepted submissions 22 October 2021: Publication-ready deadline Late Breaking Work and Case Studies 17 September 2021: Paper submission deadline 7 October 2021: Notification of accepted submissions 22 October 2021: Publication-ready deadline Call for Contributions We invite original contributions on all topics related to human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction design and the design of interactive technologies. We welcome submissions from design, engineering, social science, creative industries, and other related disciplines. In acknowledgement of the effect that Covid-19 had on everyone’s ability to conduct research, we have pushed back the Paper deadline. We invite submission to the conference tracks: Papers, Late Breaking Works, and Case Studies. Papers should present original research and mature work in the fields of HCI and studies of use and design of interactive technologies. These papers may describe investigations of user needs or contexts of use, lab-based evaluations, or field deployments of prototypes, or other design-led or empirical investigations examining the relationship between people and technology. Given the impact of Covid-19 on conducting research studies, authors are encouraged to also consider submitting theory-based contributions that make a clear contribution to the field. Papers will be delivered as online presentations at OzCHI 2021. We are planning for accepted papers to be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series available from the ACM Digital Library (pending approval by ACM). Late-Breaking Works (LBW) submissions present ideas that are emerging and would benefit from discussion with members of the HCI community. These submissions may include initial findings from new research, experiences of reflective practitioners, and first drafts of novel concepts and approaches. Case Studies include industry and community papers that describe initiatives that could benefit from and contribute to valuable discussion in the HCI community, as well as research impact papers that report on the impact of a research initiative. Case studies differ from papers as they do not need to define themselves as part of the potentially longer-term body of academic research on that topic, and thus may not have an extensive literature review or explicitly add to HCI theory within academic schools of thought. Selection process All submissions will undergo a double-blind review by an international panel and will be assessed based on their significance, originality, and clarity of writing. At least one author of each accepted paper must register with OzCHI and present the paper at the virtual conference. We are aiming to keep costs for authors as low as possible again this year. Updates on registration and online presentation format will be published on the OzCHI website. Authors of all submitted papers are expected to contribute to the review process by volunteering to review one or more papers in their field of expertise. Review assignment will be guided by a bidding process, to ensure the best possible match between reviewers and paper topic. Submission details Papers should be between 9 and 18 pages (excluding references). Reviewers will be instructed to weigh the contribution of a submission relative to its length. Shorter, more focused submissions are encouraged and will be reviewed accordingly. Case Studies and LBW submissions may be up to 8 pages in the single-column ACM format, (excluding references). Anonymisation: Submissions must be anonymised for peer review. Citations of own work and general anonymisation standards should follow the CHI anonymisation policy https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-anonymization-pol…. Submission system: OzCHI will accept submissions through PCS, the submission link will be published on the OzCHI website soon. Submission format: single column format in PDF using Word or LaTeX, including source files. Template: Papers, Case Studies, and LBW submissions must follow the new Word/LaTeX Master Article template.

[CFP] MUM 2021 - Pictorials Track (Dec 5-8, 2021, Leuven, Belgium)

by Wanling Cai

Apologies for Cross-Posting ********************************************************************************** MUM 2021 - Pictorials Track MUM 2021, 20th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia December 5-8, 2021 Leuven, Belgium ********************************************************************************** # Important Dates (Pictorials Track) > September 23, 2021 | Submission > October 22, 2021 | Notification > October 29, 2021 | Camera Ready > December 5-8 2021 | Conference # General Information As aptly phrased by the time-old adage: "a picture is worth a thousand words", pictorials challenge contributors to rethink the ways in which we create and report knowledge. Pictorials are papers in which graphic elements (e.g. diagrams, sketches, screenshots, illustrations, renderings, photographs, collages) play a major role in conveying ideas and contributions of a study along with accompanying text. First introduced in DIS 2014, pictorials responded to the call for new approaches in documenting design perspectives for HCI research, which were – and are – growing increasingly complex in terms of spatial acumen and graphical ingenuity. In particular, ideas that are experientially complex or abstract can be conveyed more meaningfully in pictures than in verbal descriptions, such as the subtle undertones of a user’s emotions or the aesthetic-usability effect of a user interface. Pictorials have since been introduced in C&C 2017 and TEI 2020, and this year we are excited to offer the new Pictorials Track of MUM 2021. Through pictorials, we invite researchers, practitioners, industry professionals, artists, designers, and students from multidisciplinary fields to express and unpack their design practices and projects in visually rich ways. # Goal The goal of MUM Pictorials is to investigate the hedonic qualities, i.e. pleasant and unpleasant sensations, that can be provoked within mobile or ubiquitous systems, and the design processes that lead to these hedonic qualities. We emphasise the importance of communicating the experiential side of HCI research, from not only its research value but also the emotional and aesthetic qualities of the work. We believe that these qualities make a difference in HCI, but acknowledge that they can be difficult or even controversial to describe in the typical research paper. Pictorials offer the opportunity to use images and other media to facilitate readers in making hedonic value judgements of the work, as presented through the pictorial narrative. We invite convincing demonstrations or descriptions of original types of existing or future (speculative) systems, or the original design approaches that underlie them. Pictorials can thus reveal research prototypes, practices, and products, as well as novel tools and methods that provide the scaffolding for hedonic outcomes. Therefore, we encourage contributors to formulate possible tips or guidelines that can be demonstrated by a design rationale and/or the (iterative) (co-)design process. Possible ways to portray a hedonic quality is to use the pictorial as a low fidelity metaphor of the designed interface, illustrate the user’s journey of interacting with a system through a visual timeline, or create collages composed of screenshots and photographs that depict the experiential qualities of the system. We encourage contributors to be playful with the submission - after all, pictorials can be another kind of graphical interface designed to communicate research data. For more inspiration , please consult recent Call for Pictorials from other conferences such as: DIS, TEI, C&C, and IEEE VISAP, or contact the Pictorial chairs. # Template and Submission Pictorial submissions should be maximum 12 pages (excluding references). The correct template for pictorials is the MUM Template, which should be exported as a PDF when submitting. On the first page of submission, please keep with the template and include the submission’s title, author(s), and their affiliation(s) (leave blank for double blind review), and a written abstract of no more than 150 words describing the context and contribution of the pictorial to the MUM community. Further written parts known from other conference formats such as Introduction, Conclusion, and Discussion are optional. We strongly recommend using the InDesign Template. A Microsoft Word template is also available for authors without access to InDesign. The main part of the submission should be an annotated visual composition and we encourage submissions to use the format creatively. Pictorials must be submitted via EasyChair at the latest by September 23rd, 2021. - Link to MUM Template: https://www.mum-conf.org/2021/cfp-pictorials/ - Link to EasyChair: https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=IYVCJFPAFssN681ICmszcT# # Relation to other submissions We encourage fully original work. However, you may submit previously published work to which you have added significant visual content, provided only that such work is clearly and prominently attributed by describing how the pictorial adds to a previous work, i.e. in a footwork to the title with a clear description of what the pictorial uniquely contributes or adds to previous work. In this case, at least 30% of the material must be original, as per ACM rules. We also encourage using visual materials that you have created or produced yourself. However, you may use third-party materials when following the "fair use" principles. We recommend the following article (https://rb.gy/hiom8d). Please be aware of these ACM copyright rules when submitting your work. # Reviewing process Pictorials must be anonymized. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind review process managed by the Program Chairs. Final camera-ready versions of accepted submissions must be accompanied by a signed copyright form. At least one author of an accepted submission will be expected to attend the conference to present their work.Accepted pictorials will appear in the Proceedings of the International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia, which will be available in the ACM Digital Library, where they will remain accessible to thousands of researchers and practitioners worldwide.

Second CFP: Special issue on "Speculative and Critical Design: approaches and influences in education" - IxD&A Journal

by Carlo Giovannella

/Apologize for unintended cross-mailing/ ========================================================= Special Issue on *Speculative and Critical Design: approaches and influences in education* to be published at the /*Interaction Design and Architecture(s) Journal (IxD&A)*/ (ISSN 1826-9745, eISSN 2283-2998) ---------------------------------------------------------------- **** Since 2012 also in Scopus **** **** *Since 2015 also* in *Emerging Sources Citation Index* and *Web of Science* *** *---------------------------------------------------------------- IxD&A implements the Gold Open Access (OA) road to its contents with no charge to the authors (submission & paper processing) Help us in improving the quality of the editorial process and of the journal, please donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5EUX7C… ---------------------------------------------------------------- CFP: http://ixdea.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php?s=102&link=call50 ========================================================= *Important dates:* ----------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline: *September 9*, 2021 • Notification to the authors: October 14, 2021 • Camera ready paper: November 11, 2021 • Publication of the special issue: end of November, 2021 =========================================== *Overview* ----------------------------------------------------------- Speculative and Critical Design approaches and related Design Fiction practices are increasingly finding their place within interaction design and technology design educational programmes. The guest editors of this special issue are partners in the SpeculativeEdu (http://speculativeedu.eu/) project (Speculative Design – Educational Resource Toolkit), funded by the European Union, to explore novel educational skills and practices for the 21st century, especially those focused on the critical relations between technology and people. The inherently discursive and provocative nature of the Speculative or Critical Design approach makes it potentially useful for both teaching practical design skills and for reflecting on theoretical positions and the implications of introducing designed objects and systems into the world. There are however tensions and unresolved issues, and there is much potential for further development that deserves examination, particularly in the context of education, such as practical questions around; how to develop and share sets of tools, techniques and methods for concept creation, address aspects such as worldbuilding and the communication of narratives, and how best to apply criteria for assessment in educational domains as diverse as product and service design, architecture and urban studies, fashion design, media and communication, human-computer interaction, socio-technical studies and other creative fields. Further fundamental and overarching themes also deserve deeper interrogation, for example around; inclusion, diversity and participation, the influence of global and local cultures, understandings of the past, the present and the future, and the role of primary research in creative, imaginative work. Not least is the question of how to nurture the development of constructive tactics and strategies amongst students who are facing a world where problems seem too complex, too inextricably interwoven and too intractable to begin to address. For this special issue we invite contributions that extend knowledge on this domain, for example, submissions addressing how educators are tackling, or aspiring to tackle, these challenges both in the classroom and in professional situations, or which discuss the collation and presentation of resources, methods and perspectives specifically in educational contexts. These can include stories and experiences along with critical reflections on the outcomes, impacts and implications. Discussing research carried out by the SpeculativeEDU project, Julian Hanna (2019) explains, “our survey suggests that the influence of Speculative Design is constantly expanding into new regions and disciplines as new waves of designers embrace and adopt its techniques in different aspects of their work – and the approach itself is also evolving and adapting to new realities and calls for change.” The family of speculative, critical, provocative and fictional design approaches offers techniques and entry points for interrogating relationships between people and technology. This broad set of methods and perspectives places emphasis on developing imaginative designed concepts and provocations that might or “could” exist, rather than those that “should” exist or are deemed preferable or profitable. The purpose of this process is to experiment with alternative ways of living and being, and to question current norms, assumptions and structures by speculating on the world through designed objects and systems. Overviews and discussion of the speculative design approach can be found in writings such as; Galloway (2013), Dunne and Raby (2013), Auger (2013) and Malpass (2017). Addressing education more specifically, Ward’s (2019) essay, “Critical about Critical and Speculative Design” discusses the challenge of cultivating a critical design education, of “sharing and building a set of processes, practices and questions that allow for both production and reflection, analysis and making, critique and creation”. This challenge has been emerging in response to the driving forces that Ward lists as; “a shift away from an aging modernist educational culture; a growing acknowledgment and frustration with the cultural impact of mass consumption; a rapidly shifting technological culture, through the invention of microprocessors, personal computation and networked communication; and a growing disciplinary awareness of the impacts and responsibilities of the designer.”. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue includes, but is not limited to: • teaching and learning activities, methods and resources • reflections and viewpoints on critique and theory • assessment strategies, and program and course development • disciplinary and interdisciplinary working • skills development for post-education routes to employment and industry • the use of speculative and critical design in industry, and professional training and skills development • perspectives on globalization and the specifics of local contexts • future directions for the field =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors are invited to submit 8-20 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).

We are currently considering which solution to use to be as inclusive as possible to those who will prefer to present and participate remotely. We will monitor the unfolding of the events in the short term and update the conference modality accordingly. We welcome submissions of high-quality papers that offer original and unpublished contributions relevant to the field of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Paper topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Architectures, systems, algorithms and other constructions tackling relevant technical challenges * Augmented, mixed, and virtual reality systems and applications * Case studies, field trials, or user experience evaluations of new applications and services * Conceptualizations and theorizations of the field * Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services * Metrics and measures for evaluating and testing mobile and ubiquitous systems * Middleware and distributed computing support for mobile and ubiquitous multimedia * Novel applications for mobile and ubiquitous gaming, entertainment, networking, and advertising * Privacy and security related issues to multimedia systems * Social implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems * Tools and development environments for building mobile, wearable, and ubiquitous multimedia systems * User interfaces, interaction design, and interaction techniques for mobile and ubiquitous systems * Papers should be grounded in existing literature and knowledge, and should be written for an * interdisciplinary audience. Papers must be submitted via EasyChair at the latest by August 6th, 2021 * AoE. An application for inclusion of the conference proceeding in the ACM International Conference * Proceeding Series is currently being processed. # Submission and Templates The correct template for submissions is the ACM Primary Article Template in single-column format (in PDF format). Submissions should be prepared using either the single column Word Submission Template or the single column LaTeX template (using the “manuscript, review, anonymous” style available in the template). Submissions can be of variable length. Paper length must be based on the weight of the contribution with 16 pages (excluding references) in single column format being valued as long papers in past editions and 7 pages (excluding references) in single column format being valued as short papers in past editions. Successful submissions of around 16 pages typically represent significant empirical, theoretical or methodological advances in the field. Successful submissions of around 7 pages offer more focused contributions; they are not intended to be work in progress reports but, instead, they offer complete, rigorously developed work, with a solid contribution to the field. Short papers have a smaller scope or more focused contribution than long papers. Submissions should not have been previously published or be concurrently under submission. Papers must be anonymized. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind review process managed by the Program Chairs. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers, chosen from the pool of members of the Program Committee listed below. This pool of reviewers features both experts from the previous edition, as well as new researchers to address new emerging research areas and underrepresented communities. Papers will be assigned through a bidding process. Authors are encouraged to submit an optional video of maximum 5 minutes to support their submission. To ensure videos can be viewed by all reviewers, authors should preferably use the H.264 encoding and the MP4 file format. To accommodate the upload limits of EasyChair (max. 50mb per file), the bit rate of videos can be lowered. # Reviewing process There will be a single round of reviews with three potential outcomes: desk-rejects (papers that are significantly out of scope, not written in English, etc.), rejection, and conditional acceptance. No rebuttal phase is planned. Authors of conditionally accepted papers will find in the reviews a list of revisions and requested changes they need to satisfy to have their paper be officially accepted into the program. At least one author from each accepted paper must register to the conference. # Organisers: Adalberto L.

2nd International EMPATHY Workshop: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems - Final Call For Papers

by Andrea Mattioli

INTERACT 2021 Workshop - deadline and workshop day update EMPATHY: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems https://empathy-ws.github.io/2021/ August 30th, 2021 Bari, Italy 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 June 20th: Paper submission deadline June 25th: Paper acceptance notice June 30th: Camera-ready submission August 30th: 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. 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 CHI Extended Abstracts format. Papers should be submitted in PDF to easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=empathy2021). 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 published in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings, which is indexed by Scopus. ORGANIZERS - Giuseppe Desolda, University of Bari “Aldo Moro” - Vincenzo Deufemia, University of Salerno - Maristella Matera, Politecnico di Milano - Fabio Paternò, CNR-ISTI - Fabiana Vernero, University of Torino - Massimo Zancanaro, University of Trento

by Maristella Matera

FYI Cari saluti, Maristella Da: Neha Kumar <neha.kumar(a)gmail.com> Inviato: domenica 23 maggio 2021 02:54 A: Eunice Sari <eunice.sari(a)gmail.com> Oggetto: SIGCHI Equity Talks: SIGCHI Across Chapters (May 27) Dear SIGCHI chapters and friends, Our next SIGCHI Equity Talks session, titled SIGCHI Across Chapters, will be held on May 27, 11.30am GMT. It will be co-organized by Eunice Sari (VP for Chapters) and myself (VP at Large). In this roundtable session, we will discuss prior and ongoing efforts to support and promote chapters, and how these efforts might be further cultivated towards the success of SIGCHI as a global institution. Chapters are of varying sizes across the globe, and feature different emphases on research vs. practice, different sizes, and different challenges facing sustainability and growth. We invite participation from all chapters, in the hope that this discussion can help in brainstorming approaches to support greater learning and exchange across chapters. The questions we propose to address are as follows: Naming the Problem(s): What are the challenges that chapters find themselves facing in being a part of SIGCHI that SIGCHI could better address? Fostering Solidarity: What might a more inclusive, supportive infrastructure and culture within SIGCHI look like for supporting chapters? Identifying Nuance: What are some barriers chapters might face in this regard? How do these impact different chapters differently? Actions Towards Change: Where does the responsibility for change lie, and what actions can and should SIGCHI take to effect this change? Join us on Zoom: https://acm-org.zoom.us/j/93907948324?pwd=SEsvZlUyakc1a1hUNnZ2K2czV2RJZz09 Ask questions on Sli.do: https://app.sli.do/event/owzhgesl Join SIGCHI's Discord server: https://discord.gg/nAYVdWSpgZ Read more about our Equity Talks here: https://medium.com/sigchi/equity-talks-sigchi-7b38b8e3477 Please forward widely, and apologies for cross-posting!

Call for Submission - Special issue on Interface Design Challenges for Smart Control Room

by Giuliana VITIELLO

Call for Submission - Special issue on Interface Design Challenges for Smart Control Room https://www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet/special_issues/Interface_Design Dear Colleagues, Control rooms for mission critical operations and monitoring networks have changed considerably over the years, relying today on smart technology able to better support human-machine allocation tasks and decision support activities. The working conditions of the control room operators are characterized by high cognitive workload in terms of user’ attention and decision processes both in daily routine and extraordinary/unexpected circumstances. For that reason, in addition to the security, resilience and reliability issues, control rooms also should be usable, being usability defined by ISO 9241-11 (2018) as "the extent to which a system, product or service can be used by specific users to achieve specific objectives with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a given context". Usability is an essential property for understanding the uses and the place of users in smart control rooms. The adoption of appropriate user centered design methodologies for future intelligent control room interfaces is paramount to achieve system usability and guarantee or restore safe and efficient operations, in a variety of application fields, from emergency, to healthcare, to surveillance, to agriculture, to industry. Interface design for control rooms may raise challenges of potential interest for researchers working in a variety of areas, including computer-human interaction, organizational psychology and anthropology, big data management and information visualization, Internet of Things, geographical information systems, and software engineering. As such, the special issue invites submission on new and innovative research results and industrial experience papers in the area of interface applications for smart control rooms. We particularly encourage submission covering any aspects of the problem, including, but not limited to, the following topics of interest: - Context-Aware Behaviour in Smart Control Rooms; - Cooperative Interaction in Smart Control Rooms; - Multimodal/Multitouch Interaction for Smart Control Rooms; - Smart Control Rooms for Emergency Management; - Smart Control Rooms for Healthcare Management; - Smart Control Rooms for the Internet of Things; - Smart Control Rooms for UAVs, Drones and Robotics; - Assessment of multiple properties (such as usability, security, etc.) affecting the use of smart control rooms; - Visualization techniques for monitoring and analyzing data collected in control rooms. Genoveffa Tortora, Giuliana Vitiello, Marco Winckler, *Guest Editor* Deadline for manuscript submissions: *15 June 2021*.

SIGCHI Development Fund & Co.

by Luigi De Russis

Care tutte, cari tutti, dall’anno scorso faccio parte di un comitato in seno a SIGCHI, il SIGCHI Development Fund (SDF) Committee. Il comitato si è occupato e si occupa di varie iniziative di supporto alla comunità globale intorno a SIGCHI, con un supporto che va da quello economico (per eventi virtuali, al momento) a quello più di rete/comunicazione, come il calendario degli eventi di interesse alla comunità HCI (https://sigchi.org/community/ <https://sigchi.org/community/>). Vi scrivo per due motivi, sperando che queste informazioni possano essere utili a qualcuno di voi: 1) Da una parte, per farvi conoscere le varie iniziative su cui questo comitato ha lavorato nell’ultimo anno, per le quali posso condividere in anteprima un breve video (5 minuti) che sarà usato per la Town Hall di CHI 2021: https://youtu.be/uwLUjGcWpIU <https://youtu.be/uwLUjGcWpIU> 2) Dall’altra, soprattutto nel caso in cui non foste a conoscenza di alcune tra queste iniziative, per invitarvi a partecipare e/o inviare qualche proposta. Per esempio, attraverso il SDF è possibile avere fino a 5,000 dollari a supporto di una grande varietà di eventi virtuali (https://sigchi.org/resources/sigchi-development-fund/ <https://sigchi.org/resources/sigchi-development-fund/>), mentre il Gary Marsden Travel Award (https://sigchi.org/awards/gary-marsden-travel-awards/ <https://sigchi.org/awards/gary-marsden-travel-awards/>) è stato recentemente aggiornato per supportare economicamente studenti e persone all’inizio della loro carriera a partecipare (anche virtualmente) a varie conferenze SIGCHI. Attualmente, entrambe le iniziative sono sempre aperte per ricevere nuove proposte e domande. Grazie e a presto! Cordialmente, Luigi --- Luigi De Russis Assistant Professor (RTDb) Department of Control and Computer Engineering Politecnico di Torino, Italy ph: +39 011 0907170, +39 331 2689895 e: luigi.derussis(a)polito.it w: http://elite.polito.it/people/derussis t: @luigidr

EUSSET CSCW Summer School in Como - 23rd to 27th August

by María Menéndez-Blanco

Dear all, Please see below the call for participation for the EUSSET Summer School on CSCW to be held in Como from 23rd to 27th August. Application deadline: May, 14th 2021. Please consider attending or forwarding it to Ph.D. candidates/post-docs that might be interested. For any information about the school contact the chairs at: summerschool(a)eusset.eu Best regards, Maria (on behalf of the summer school chairs) *Fifth International Summer School on Computer Supported Cooperative Work* 23-27 August 2021, Como, 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. Full program TBA soon (For updates check: www.eusset.eu/events/summer-school/) *Important dates* · Application deadline: May 14, 2021 · Notification of acceptance: May 21 , 2021 · Registration deadline: June 21, 2021 *Credits:* 7,5 ECTS *Location* The summer school will be held onsite at the Villa del Grumello, a nice villa close to Como, Italy. The center of the town can be reached in a ten-minute walk along the border of the lake. All attendees must adhere to the local and national requirements of their departure country and in Italy (e.g., tests, vaccination, COVID-19 passport, etc.). We are committed to comply to COVID-19 regulations and follow the necessary precautions to ensure a safe environment. *Fees* The registration fee for the course will be around 350€, not including accommodation or travel (For updates check: www.eusset.eu/events/summer-school/) *Application* Please provide a document that includes one to two pages of CV and one page that includes your PhD topic, your research approach and why you want to participate at the summer school. Deadline May, 2021 (the specific date will be provide in Apr). Please send it to: summerschool(a)eusset.eu *Accommodation* A list of recommended accommodation will be provided later, however, participants may choose accommodation as they see fit. *Visa* International applicants might need a visiting student visa to come to Italy. Information about the required documents are available at the “Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs” following this link <http://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en>. A request for a School Invitation Letter should be sent to summerschool(a)eusset.eu. The request must contain all the necessary information along with a digitized copy of the identification page of the student passport (with name and photo). *Contact* For any information about the school please contact: summerschool(a)eusset.eu *Chairs* · Antonella di Angeli (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano - Italy) · Claus Bossen (Aarhus University – Denmark) · Nina Boulus-Rødje (Roskilde University – Denmark)

Extended submission deadline (May 11): Call for Papers: HCSE-Workshop at INTERACT 2021

by Stefan Sauer

*_Submission deadline extended until May 11, 2021. (Apologies for cross-postings.)_*_**_ *International Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering for Changing Contexts of Use* <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/> *organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodologies for User-Centered Systems Design* *August 31, 2021 * *https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/* *at INTERACT 2021 <https://www.interact2021.org/>**- The 18th IFIP TC 13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction*** *August 30 – September 3, 2021 Bari, Italy* *Call for Papers* *Submissions: **position papers reporting original academic or industrial research relevant to the workshop's theme (PDF files, 6-10 pages in <https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>Springer LNCS format)* *Deadline for submission: May 11, 2021 (extended!) April 30, 2021* *Theme* The context of use plays an important role in Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. Typically, user, environment, and platform are considered to make up the core aspects of the context of use. Changing the context of use, for example due to unplanned circumstances like the current pandemic situation, has significant impact on how we use systems, and how we adapt and adopt them even if the systems were not designed for such usages. In HCSE research we have to account for this change, making interactive system development context-aware or design and develop in a way that systems can adapt for novel forms of usage. Recently, we observe developments that strongly change contexts of use. For example, in the area of industrial automation (Industry 4.0) work environments change, new kinds of user assistance evolve, and workers are going to be supported by innovative types of devices and digital assistance tools to accomplish their working tasks. Typical examples are augmented, virtual, and mixed reality applications in training or support situations. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed where and the way how we work, particularly in collaboration with others to keep distance and increase personal safety. In contrast, the trend towards increasingly autonomous systems and systems that use and provide artificial intelligence gives rise to new kinds of interaction, particularly, human-machine interaction (HMI), in areas such as autonomous driving or human-robot collaboration in different domains such as industrial production, logistics, or health. These trends should be accounted for in the way we design and build such interactive systems, possibly coming to evolutionary or even revolutionary solutions. For example, expected or unforeseen changes of usage scenarios and their context of use may be accounted for by flexible and more resilient system solutions and be reflected in the development practices and technical frameworks. Specific kinds of interaction such as HMI, but also social and socio-technical interaction may demand for more prominent and explicit consideration. Quality aspects such as ubiquity, security, and safety may be seen in a different light. Changing contexts of use may even have an impact on the way we think about user motivation and user experience, away from short-term notions like emotions towards long-term traits like users’ values. We want to specifically account for these developments in addition to the general concerns of HCSE. Discussions and interactive working sessions will particularly deal with these concerns. *Objective* In this workshop, we aim to broaden the traditional scope of the workshop series of IFIP Working Group 13.2. We focus on the study of context of use, its long-term evolutionary trends as well as its short-term design and management in a user-centered design process, from a social and user-centered methodological viewpoint as well as from a technical viewpoint. Our aim is to cover a large set of user interface perspectives, aspects, and properties and fuel new ideas and approaches for research and practice. The long-term perspective of this workshop is to foster the development of theories, methods, tools and approaches for dealing with the changing context of use and its impact on HCI and collaboration that should be taken into account when developing interactive and socio-technical systems. This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized at INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India <http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>and INTERACT 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifipwg132workshopinteract19/>. *Target Audience and Expected Outcomes* This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human-computer interaction froma user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this workshop focus on user interface properties while designing and building interactive systems and study associated methods, processes and approaches. 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 the role of the context of use in HCI and its impact on thesystem design and use. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface design are welcome. However, we are especially interested in work that deals with current trends that change the way how humans use, interact and collaborate with technical components in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and tools for managing context of use at design and run-time. 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. *Workshop Format* This full-day workshop is organized 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 studies 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 workshop in a hybrid setting, allowing attendees to participate both physically and remotely in the workshop. 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 2021 organizers. *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. These position papers (PDF files, 6-10 pages in Springer LNCS <https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>forma <https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>t <https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>, including abstract) shall report practical experiences related to research results on user-centered development processes for interactive systems with a particular focus on context-of-use aspects and the impact on software properties. Submissions are not anonymous and should include all author names, affiliations, and contact information. Authors should also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and their motivation to participate in this workshop. Papers are submitted through the EasyChair website <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcse-interact2021>. Submitted position papers will be reviewed by an international program committee comprising the organizers and selected members of IFIP Working Group 13.2 who are experts in the field. Participants will be invited to attend the workshop based on the result of the reviewing process. Accepted position papers will be made available through the workshop website.

Hybrid International CHItaly 2021: Unified Call for Workshop Papers / 11–13 July 2021 / Bolzano, Italy

by chitaly2021

*** Apologies for Cross-Postings *** Dear Colleagues, CHItaly is the Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter. It is open to both members and non-members. The CHItaly edition of 2021 is the 14th of the series and will be hosted in Bolzano at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/). Several half-day online (or hybrid) workshops will take place in conjunction with this year's CHItaly conference: *** July 11th *** - W1) Gameful self-reflection: on HCI and the sustainability discourses - W2) Virtual Reality, Inclusion and special language needs (VR Island) - W3) Speculative Design for Transurban Futures (TransUrban) - W4) Critical Tools for Machine Learning: Figuring, fabulating, situating, diffracting machine learning systems design (CritML) *** July 12th *** - W5) Frontiers of Older Humans Computer Interaction - W6) The Role of Digitalization in Improving the Quality of Live in Rural (Industrialized) Regions - W7) GHItaly21-4th Workshop on Games-Human Interaction - W8) Designing for/with/around Nature: Exploring new frontiers of outdoors-related HCI (NatureHCI) - W9) Multi-party Interaction in eXtended Reality (MIXR) The attendance is free of charge for CHItaly main conference attendants and will be subject to a small fee for everyone else (registration fees are available on the CHItaly 2021 website: https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/registration.html). There are still a few places available to join the rich set of satellite events accompanying CHItaly 2021. The deadline for expression of interest or paper submission for all workshops has been extended. Please check each workshop website for details about the new deadline. Details for each workshop are given in what follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W1) Gameful self-reflection: on HCI and the sustainability discourses https://islandfutures.net/chitaly-2021-workshop ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - Greta Adamo, ITI / LARSyS, Madeira, Portugal (greta.adamo(a)iti.larsys.pt) - Max Willis, M-ITI and ITI / LARSyS, Madeira, Portugal - Leysan Nurgalieva, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland It could be said that sustainability has always been at the center of HCI as a field; the core tenets of HCI, usability and participation are both concerned with securing and maintaining continued, meaningful engagement between customers and publics with the products and services we design. Meanwhile, the concept of sustainability has taken on a more broad ecological meaning, and although a range of HCI academic and industry professionals are focussed on topics such as urban design, circular economy and citizen science that directly address human impacts and environmentally-sensitive quality of life there is much more to this discourse. This workshop invites each and every participant to self-reflect on their previous work, their current directions, and future aims, and ask just how much, or how little our own work, and that of our HCI community is addressing sustainability and sustainable development. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W2) Virtual Reality, Inclusion and special language needs (VR Island) https://easychair.org/cfp/VRISLAND1-VirtualRealitySpecialLanguageNeeds https://padlet.com/stagginigiulia/vfhbeh9yyvwbb7uc ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - Giulia Staggini, University of Genoa, Italy (contact person: stagginigiulia(a)gmail.com) - Rita Cersosimo, University of Genoa, Italy This workshop proposal is the result of a speculation about important issues, both in the academic world and everyday life, such as: accessibility to language learning and technology support. In particular, the reasons leading to this proposal are: enhance motivation and cross-cultural competence in students with SLN (Special Language Needs), e.g: dyslexic students and foreigner learners; overcome language obstacles; enhance multi-channel, multi-media, multi-modality and multisensorial language learning; develop digital literacy and digital awareness. This workshop proposal is based on two main objectives: the first one aims to make attendees familiar with accessible teaching methods; the other one is more practical and focuses on an introduction of IVR in everyday teaching of language. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W3) Speculative Design for Transurban Futures (TransUrban) http://bit.ly/TransUrbanWorkshop ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - Mattia Thibault, Tampere University, Finland (mattia.thibault(a)tuni.fi) - Nikoletta Zampeta Legaki, Tampere University, Finland - Oğuz “Oz” Buruk, Tampere University, Finland - Seda Suman Buruk, independent urban designer, Tampere, Finland - Daniel Fernández Galeote, Tampere University, Finland This workshop aims at expanding the existent research and perspectives on the future of cities by making use of creative, emergent, and participative approaches. The concept of transurbanism emerges from the realisation that the future of humanity and the future of urban spaces cannot be understood is not by tackling them both at the same time. Future cities will be articulated around future citizens, and future citizens will be shaped by their urban environments. In order to investigate a far away transurban future, we will use the tools of speculative design, a well-established practice that uses design as a form of critique and speculation. The participative approach of the workshop will ensure that the different skills, backgrounds and perspectives of the participants will work in synergy to refresh and deepen the way we imagine future cities. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W4) Critical Tools for Machine Learning: Figuring, fabulating, situating, diffracting machine learning systems design (CritML) https://www.uni-kassel.de/go/CritML ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - Goda Klumbytė, University of Kassel, Germany (goda.klumbyte(a)uni-kassel.de) - Claude Draude, University of Kassel, Germany - Alex Taylor, University of London, UK The purpose of the workshop is to experiment with how machine learning systems can be imagined and designed in a more situated, inclusive, contextualized and accountable way in order to reduce the systemic socio-cultural biases and develop more socially responsible frameworks of design. The premise of the work is that while computer science has developed sophisticated technical tools to improve machine learning accuracy and expand application fields, it is facing issues in particular with regards to systemic socio-cultural bias. Critical theories, particularly feminist and postcolonial critical theories, have developed tools to address societal bias and its embeddedness in systems of thought and technology, and to trace how these embeddings give rise to new and reproduce existing hierarchies of power in society. This workshop thus aims to translate insights developed by those critical study fields into approaches in machine learning systems design through an experimental workshop. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W5) Frontiers of Older Humans Computer Interaction https://olderhcichitaly2021.wordpress.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - Michela Cozza, Mälardalen University, Sweden (michela.cozza(a)mdh.se) - Alexander Peine, Utrecht University, The Netherlands - Helen Manchester, University of Bristol, UK The Socio-gerontechnology network brings together scholars from various social science and design disciplines interested in critical studies of ageing and technology. The network started from a joint interest of scholars in Science and Technology Studies – beginning to see ageing as an important field for critical studies of technology – and Ageing Scholars – beginning to see digitisation and technology as important but under-researched elements of ageing and later life. Our aim is to provide critical social science insights into ageing and technology that will lead to better policies and designs for older people in a digitising world. In the spirit of the SG Network and in line with the aim of CHItaly2021, this workshop is designed to attract contributions from diverse geographical areas and disciplines, which share a common interest in studying the relationships between age, ageing and technology design and development. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W6) The Role of Digitalization in Improving the Quality of Live in Rural (Industrialized) Regions https://digi-rr.wineme.wiwi.uni-siegen.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - David Unbehaun, University of Siegen, Germany (david.unbehaun(a)uni-siegen.de) - Myriam Lewkowicz, Troyes University of Technology, France - Chiara Bassetti, CNR, Italy - Volker Wulf, University of Siegen, Germany - Mark Ackerman, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan USA - Johannes Schädler, University of Siegen, Germany Rural regions are of central importance to the economic, social and political stability of advanced Western societies. When national states do not offer sufficient quality of life to people living in rural regions liberal democracies tend to destabilize. Authoritarian, populist or even extreme rightist movements gain followers and political influence (see for instance the USA, former East Germany, Tchech Republic, Hungary, or Slovenia). In Central Europe some of the rural areas are at the same time industrialized, typically with old, traditional industries. Compared to metropolitan regions, the relative affordability of land, historically derived competitive advantages (e.g. mines, water conducts) as well as skill sets of the entrepreneurs and the work force lead to the location of rather traditional production-oriented industries. While high tech typically moves to or emerges out of metropolitan centers, old industries can often be found in rural regions. However, we believe that rural (industrialized) regions have very specific needs and opportunities when trying to improve the quality of life by means of innovative digital artefacts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W7) GHItaly21-4th Workshop on Games-Human Interaction http://ghi.di.unimi.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - Davide Gadia, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy (gadia(a)di.unimi.it) - Maria De Marsico, Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy - Laura Anna Ripamonti, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy - Dario Maggiorini, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy - Ilaria Mariani, Politecnico di Milano, Italy GHItaly21 is the fourth edition of a series of workshops focused on the multifaceted issues related to the design and development of human-game interfaces. This entails multidisciplinary competences and skills, and the final quality of the User eXperience depends on how consistently and smartly they are exploited. As a matter of fact, users’ engagement and satisfaction rely on the wise design and skilled evaluation of the produced (multidimensional) artifacts. This gains even more critical importance since the application of video games has long overcome the borders of amusement, to spur new possibilities for, e.g., continuous healthcare and education. In its first three editions (two of them held in conjunction to previous CHItaly conferences), the GHItaly workshops aimed at constituting a bridge among the many different disciplinary areas involved, trying to decrease the still existing cultural gaps and to establish a common ground and a crossroads for related research. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W8) Designing for/with/around Nature: Exploring new frontiers of outdoors-related HCI (NatureHCI) https://sites.google.com/view/naturehci/home ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - Eleonora Mencarini, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy (mencarini(a)fbk.eu) - Amon Rapp, University of Torino, University of Trento, Italy - Linda Tonolli, University of Trento, Italy - Maurizio Teli, Aalborg University, Denmark - Roberto Cibin, Masaryk University, Czech Republic - Vincenzo D’Andrea, University of Trento, Italy - Massimo Zancanaro, University of Trento, Italy In 2020, when most of the world population has experienced limitations to free mobility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, socialisation and outdoor life started to be strongly desired and dreamed. In this workshop, we are interested in exploring HCI issues and works related to the "outdoors", broadly intended as an open-air setting that includes cities, peripheries, rural areas, wild natural environments, etc. In this perspective, the natural context becomes of particular interest, given also the fact that in the last 10 years, part of HCI research has focused on nature, investigating both the activities that people conduct in the natural context and the impact that human activities have on it. In this workshop, we would like to bring together researchers exploring the role of technology in shaping the outdoor experience, with a special focus on the natural environment. By doing so, we aim to question how the different aspects of nature are treated in HCI research, from outdoor life to the epistemological implications of anthropocentrism, and to start a conversation capable of renovating HCI discourses and practices. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W9) Multi-party Interaction in eXtended Reality (MIXR) https://mixr-chitaly2021.github.io ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers and contact: - Maurizio Mancini, University of Rome “Sapienza”, Italy (m.mancini(a)di.uniroma1.it) - Giovanna Varni, LTCI, Télécom Paris, Institut polytechnique de Paris, France - David Murphy, University College Cork (UCC), Ireland - Fabio Pellacini, University of Rome “Sapienza”, Italy - Laura Maye, University College Cork, Ireland - Patrick O’Toole, University College Cork, Ireland 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.

Call for Papers: HCSE-Workshop at INTERACT 2021 (submit by April 30)

by Stefan Sauer

*_One week left until paper submission deadline!_*_*(Apologies for cross-postings.)*_ *International Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering for Changing Contexts of Use* <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/> *organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodologies for User-Centered Systems Design* *August 31, 2021 * *https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/* *at INTERACT 2021 <https://www.interact2021.org/>**- The 18th IFIP TC 13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction*** *August 30 – September 3, 2021 Bari, Italy* *Call for Papers* *Submissions: **position papers reporting original academic or industrial research relevant to the workshop's theme (PDF files, 6-10 pages in <https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>Springer LNCS format)* *Deadline for submission: April 30, 2021* *Theme* The context of use plays an important role in Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. Typically, user, environment, and platform are considered to make up the core aspects of the context of use. Changing the context of use, for example due to unplanned circumstances like the current pandemic situation, has significant impact on how we use systems, and how we adapt and adopt them even if the systems were not designed for such usages. In HCSE research we have to account for this change, making interactive system development context-aware or design and develop in a way that systems can adapt for novel forms of usage. Recently, we observe developments that strongly change contexts of use. For example, in the area of industrial automation (Industry 4.0) work environments change, new kinds of user assistance evolve, and workers are going to be supported by innovative types of devices and digital assistance tools to accomplish their working tasks. Typical examples are augmented, virtual, and mixed reality applications in training or support situations. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed where and the way how we work, particularly in collaboration with others to keep distance and increase personal safety. In contrast, the trend towards increasingly autonomous systems and systems that use and provide artificial intelligence gives rise to new kinds of interaction, particularly, human-machine interaction (HMI), in areas such as autonomous driving or human-robot collaboration in different domains such as industrial production, logistics, or health. These trends should be accounted for in the way we design and build such interactive systems, possibly coming to evolutionary or even revolutionary solutions. For example, expected or unforeseen changes of usage scenarios and their context of use may be accounted for by flexible and more resilient system solutions and be reflected in the development practices and technical frameworks. Specific kinds of interaction such as HMI, but also social and socio-technical interaction may demand for more prominent and explicit consideration. Quality aspects such as ubiquity, security, and safety may be seen in a different light. Changing contexts of use may even have an impact on the way we think about user motivation and user experience, away from short-term notions like emotions towards long-term traits like users’ values. We want to specifically account for these developments in addition to the general concerns of HCSE. Discussions and interactive working sessions will particularly deal with these concerns. *Objective* In this workshop, we aim to broaden the traditional scope of the workshop series of IFIP Working Group 13.2. We focus on the study of context of use, its long-term evolutionary trends as well as its short-term design and management in a user-centered design process, from a social and user-centered methodological viewpoint as well as from a technical viewpoint. Our aim is to cover a large set of user interface perspectives, aspects, and properties and fuel new ideas and approaches for research and practice. The long-term perspective of this workshop is to foster the development of theories, methods, tools and approaches for dealing with the changing context of use and its impact on HCI and collaboration that should be taken into account when developing interactive and socio-technical systems. This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized at INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India <http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>and INTERACT 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifipwg132workshopinteract19/>. *Target Audience and Expected Outcomes* This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human-computer interaction froma user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this workshop focus on user interface properties while designing and building interactive systems and study associated methods, processes and approaches. 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 the role of the context of use in HCI and its impact on thesystem design and use. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface design are welcome. However, we are especially interested in work that deals with current trends that change the way how humans use, interact and collaborate with technical components in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and tools for managing context of use at design and run-time. 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. *Workshop Format* This full-day workshop is organized 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 studies 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 workshop in a hybrid setting, allowing attendees to participate both physically and remotely in the workshop. 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 2021 organizers. *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. These position papers (PDF files, 6-10 pages in Springer LNCS <https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>forma <https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>t <https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>, including abstract) shall report practical experiences related to research results on user-centered development processes for interactive systems with a particular focus on context-of-use aspects and the impact on software properties. Submissions are not anonymous and should include all author names, affiliations, and contact information. Authors should also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and their motivation to participate in this workshop. Papers are submitted through the EasyChair website <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcse-interact2021>. Submitted position papers will be reviewed by an international program committee comprising the organizers and selected members of IFIP Working Group 13.2 who are experts in the field. Participants will be invited to attend the workshop based on the result of the reviewing process. Accepted position papers will be made available through the workshop website. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted position paper must register and attend the workshop. 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 2021 workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups. *Important Dates* Deadline for submission: April 30, 2021 Acceptance notification: June 11th, 2021 Final version of position paper: June 28, 2021 Workshop date: August 31, 2021 *Organizers * Stefan Sauer, Paderborn University, Germany (sauer[at]uni-paderborn.de) Regina Bernhaupt, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands (r.bernhaupt[at]tue.nl) Carmelo Ardito, Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy (carmelo.ardito[at]poliba.it) *Venue* The workshop will be hosted in the frame of the 18th IFIP TC13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, August 30 – September 3, 2021, in Bari, Italy.

Hybrid International CHItaly 2021: LAST-DAY Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers/ 11–13 July 2021 / Bolzano, Italy

by chitaly2021

================================================ 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.

[CFP] Track in Human Computer Interaction and Artificial Intelligence - XVIII Conference of the Italian Chapter of AIS [ItAIS2021], 15-16 October 2021, Trento

by Tania Di Mascio

[Apologies for cross-posting] ============================================= ItAIS2021 XVIII Conference of the Italian Chapter of AIS 15-16 October 2021, Trento Call for Papers Track in Human Computer Interaction and Artificial Intelligence website: http://www.itais.org/conference/2021/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2021/03/T0… ================================================ In a world in which ever more information systems drawing upon machine learning techniques and optimization algorithms become part of everyday life, machine learning contributes to interaction design and execution, often by focusing on specific user behaviors; the aim is to create new systems based on Artificial Intelligence: the AI-s. With respect to users that already have a clear understanding of the functionality and the outputs of traditional systems, a user, interacting with an AI-s, could be different expectations of what the system actually offers. AI-s usually have dynamic behaviors, which often confound users until users prefer to substitute the system or in some cases to refuse them. AI-s often has a tendency to sudden changes of attitude or behavior: they vary in capabilities and interaction paradigms, impacting user engagement and usability. It is not difficult finding examples of AI-s failures that damage users, ranging from "soft" (e.g., autocompletion errors) to "hard" situations in which users cannot effectively understand or control an AI-s (e.g., collaboration with semi-autonomous cars). Successful AI-s strengthen the tie to Human Computer Interaction (HCI) by creating a demand for new and better interaction. Usable AI-s might be realized by teams composed of HCI researchers employing AI techniques as well as AI researchers applying HCI methodologies, and not only! Despite the acknowledgment of equal importance of the usage of AI techniques and HCI methodologies, their balance in the realization of AI-s is more ideal than practice, since traditionally both AI techniques and HCI methodologies have been addressed by two distinct communities – Human-Computer Interaction and Artificial intelligence – using different processes, methods, and tools. Also, in recent years we have witnessed the emergence of new research topics in the borders between HCI and AI, such as Human-Based Computation (HBC) and Augmented Intelligence, i.e., problems in which humans and machines work together towards solving a common goal, either where the machine is assisted by humans (HBC) or the humans are assisted by the machines (Augmented Intelligence). Also, the intersection of HCI and AI is an emerging field of research, devoted mostly to Intelligent User Interfaces, i.e., interfaces developed using the approaches from HCI and the tools from AI, most notably Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. This track aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of the usage of HCI and AI within the realization of AI-s, as well as experiences in related field in between, such as HBC or Augmented Intelligence. It also provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered within the realization of AI-s, in order to identify shared purposes and improving a mutual understanding for the next generation of researchers and system builders in the growing field of HCI&AI. ================================================ Track Main Topics ================================================ Topics include (but are not limited to): - Human Computer Interaction - Artificial Intelligence - Human-based Computation - Augmented Intelligence - Intelligent User Interface - Conversational User Interface - Intelligent Data Visualization - AI Methods for Adaptive User Interface ================================================ Important Dates ================================================ - Deadline for full paper submission: May 28, 2021 - Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2021 - Final paper submission: August 30, 2021 - Final notification of acceptance: September 11, 2021 - Conference: October 15-16, 2021 ================================================ Submission guidelines ================================================ Submissions will be evaluated through a double-blind peer-review process. Track chairs will select reviewers and ensure the anonymity of the review process. Authors are encouraged to seek guidance from Track Chairs prior submitting the paper. We encourage authors to submit an abstract (no more than 2000 words, providing information about the research aim, the theoretical framework and/or theories applied, the research methods, and the main/expected findings with potential implications, including a few references) to receive feedbacks by the Track Chairs before full paper submission. The page limit for a full paper (where the abstract in this case needs to include no more than 250 words) is equal to 12 pages (excluding references) More information about submission: http://www.itais.org/conference/2021/submission/ ================================================ Track Co-Chairs ================================================ - Tania Di Mascio, DISIM University of L’Aquila (Italy) - Luigi Laura, UniNettuno University (Italy) - Eleonora Veglianti, FGES department at the Catholique University of Lille (France) ================================================ Track Program Committee Members ================================================ - Federica Caruso, University of L'Aquila, Italy, federica.caruso(a)univaq.it - Luigi De Russis, Politecnico di Torino, Italy, luigi.derussis(a)polito.it - Fausto Fasano, University of Molise, Italy, fausto.fasano(a)unimol.it - Maristella Matera, Politecnico di Milano, Italy, maristella.matera(a)polimi.it - Gianluigi Me, LUISS University, Italy, gme(a)luiss.it - Maurizio Naldi, LUMSA University, Italy, m.naldi(a)lumsa.it - Laura Tarantino, University of L'Aquila, Italy, laura.tarantino(a)univaq.it - Massimo Zancanaro, FBK Trento, Italy, zancana(a)fbk.eu

Call for papers | MIST4TEL | 14th May 2021

by Melonio Alessandra

www.mis4tel-conference.net<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/> info(a)mis4tel-conference.net<mailto:info@mis4tel-conference.net> Hybrid Conference 11th International Conference in Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/> ________________________________ Salamanca (Spain) | 6th-8th October, 2021<https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/> [cid:6FAA4272-654D-4BFA-ABC5-4E5D18565221@homenet.telecomitalia.it]<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 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 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 is used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, Learning Analytics can help manage available (big) data and allow to 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 10th 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 (ranging from Artificial Intelligence and agent-based systems to Robotics, Virtual Reality, Internet of Things and wearable solutions, among others) and looking for papers discussing how they can be employed to create novel approaches to TEL, innovative TEL solutions and valuable TEL experiences. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL (e.g., engineering, computer science, education, medicine) from this multidisciplinary field. MIS4TEL 2021 will be held in Salamanca (Spain) on October 6th-8th, 2021, in parallel with the PAAMS'21 International Conference<http://www.paams.net/>.

by Paolo Buono

-- apologies for cross-posting -- Don't miss the opportunity to participate in the INTERACT 2021 conference by submitting a contribution to the following tracks by 16 April: - Short Papers - Posters - Interactive Demos - Courses - Doctoral Consortium - Industrial Experiences - Panels Further information is available on the conference website (https://interact2021.org) and in the CfP reported below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.

Hybrid International CHItaly 2021: 3rd Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers / 11–13 July 2021 / Bolzano, Italy

by chitaly2021

================================================ 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. ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES ================================================ Submissions: April 23th Notifications to contributors: May 14th Camera-ready/final version deadline: May 24th Doctoral consortium: July 12th ================================================ SUBMISSIONS: HOW TO ================================================ DC papers must be sent via mail to dc.chitaly2021(a)unibz.it with 'DC submission' in the e-mail subject. ================================================ FURTHER INFORMATION ================================================ If you have any question, please write an email to the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs: Daniela Fogli, University of Brescia, Italy, email: daniela.fogli(a)unibs.it Fabio Paternò, CNR-ISTI, Italy, email: fabio.paterno(a)isti.cnr.it ================================================ CHITALY 2021 TRACKS ================================================= This year, CHItaly 2021 has several tracks, besides the track for doctoral consortium papers: long and short research papers, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html workshops, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/workshops.html interactive experience, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html
