CoPDA 2024 - 8th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in
the Digital Age: Differentiating and Deepening the Concept of "End User"
in the Digital Age
https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2024/
June 3rd or 4th, 2024 - Arenzano (Genoa), Italy
In conjunction with AVI 2024 (https://avi2024.dibris.unige.it/home)
------------
Overview
------------
Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and meta-design
challenge the understanding of the concept of “end user”.
The 8th edition of this workshop aims to critically differentiate,
dissect, and deepen the roles, experiences, and demands of end users by
inviting contributions from different perspectives.
The workshop invites contributions to explore the following fundamental
issues:
- Re-conceptualizing the multi-faceted roles that end users can play.
- Investigating how end users are evolving into active participants in
the design and development through frameworks (such as meta-design) that
encourage creation, modification, and evolution in individual and group
activities.
- Understanding the skills and literacies (e.g., computational fluency)
that end users need to acquire to be successful contributors (e.g.,
education, after-school clubs, etc.).
- Envisioning future scenarios and possibilities for end user roles and
experiences in the context of emerging technologies and cultural changes.
- Understanding the design trade-offs associated with balancing the
potential value of end-user contributions with the necessary effort to
ensure that end users will be motivated to contribute over long periods
of time.
Participants from academia, industry, and user communities are invited
to share their ideas, insights, and experiences to increase our
collective understanding and approach towards end users in the digital age.
Topics of discussion may include (but will not be limited to):
- Analysis of the use and historical development of the concept of “end
user”
- Can meta-design frameworks facilitate and empower end users in
becoming designers, shaping and adapting systems to their needs?
- What are the major responsibilities for end users in "end-user
development” and/versus "end-user software engineering"?
- If computational fluency is widely achieved by humans in the digital
age — how will this change the concept of "end user" and “learning with
digital tools”?
- How can the division between professional developers and end users be
designed and supported as collaborative interactions rather than a rigid
separation?
- How do we scale up user participation from individuals to groups to
communities?
- In which contexts are end users the drivers of the innovation?
- Which other frameworks and environments in AI exist in addition to
Large Language Models (LLMs) for supporting end users?
- How does the role of end users change in the era of LLMs?
- Which additional learning demands occur that empower end users to
assess LLM possibilities and limits?
- Success stories and failures (e.g., empirical studies) involving or
analyzing end users as active participants in sociotechnical systems in
different domains (education, workplace, at home, leisure, etc.).
-----------------
Submissions
----------------
Authors are invited to submit a 6-page position paper using the 1-column
CEUR template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An
Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at

ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Late-Breaking Results and Demos
ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
July 1-4, 2024
The 32nd International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2024) is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP 2024 is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI<https://sigchi.org/> and SIGWEB<https://www.sigweb.org/>. User Modeling Inc.<https://um.org/>, as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. ACM UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduct<https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment>. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library.
ACM UMAP 2024 invites Late-Breaking Results (LBR) papers as well as Demonstrations (demos) of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes). The topics for these submissions are the same as the ones included in the Call for Full and Short Papers<https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-full-and-short-papers/>. However, their scope and timing is different. In particular, although short papers (from the main track) and the LBR papers of this call have the same maximum length, LBR papers are expected to present innovative ideas that are being explored and have already shown some promising results. It is also a dissemination channel for new research directions. Mature results which have already gone through experimental validation are more suitable for the general call, either as a full or short paper. Thus, rejected papers from the main track are not expected to be a valuable contribution as an LBR paper unless their contents are revised to address the scope of this track. Note also that LBR papers are to be presented physically during the conference in a poster format, allowing for more informal discussions on the ideas shared. Demos are intended to present systems that have been used to achieve the research outcomes presented as full and short papers. Thus, we highly recommend authors of accepted full and short papers to also prepare a submission for a demo of their system to be showcased at the conference in the LBR and Demo session.
** Important Dates **
* Submission: April 18, 2024
* Notification: May 9 2024
* Camera-ready Submission (TAPS system): May 16, 2024
* Conference: July 1 – 4, 2024
Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth)<https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe> time.
** Submission **
All submissions must be written in English. Papers should be submitted electronically, in a PDF format, through the EasyChair submission system, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap24, by selecting the “UMAP24 Late Breaking Results and Demo Papers” track
** Length and Formatting **
-- Late-Breaking Results Format --
* Page Limits. Up to 7 pages, plus up to 2 additional pages for references (figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit).
* Proceedings. Publication in ACM UMAP 2024 adjunct proceedings.
* Presentation. Physically presented as a poster during the conference.
* Description. LBRs are research-in-progress that must contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of UMAP. In addition, papers introducing recently started research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit late-breaking work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues.
In case that papers rejected in the main track (i.e. submitted as full or short papers) are submitted to this track, they should be revised not only to take into account the comments made to help improve the paper, but to fulfill the scope of the LBR, which emphasizes novelty of ideas. This is also valid for papers that have been recommended as an LBR when rejected in the main track.
-- Demos Format --
* Page Limits *. Up to 5 pages, plus up to 1 additional page for references (figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit). On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2024.
* Supporting Material *. Video or external material demonstrating the system.
* Proceedings *. Publication in ACM UMAP 2024 adjunct proceedings.
* Presentation * . Physically presented as a demo plus as a poster during the conference.
* Description *. Demos will showcase research prototypes and commercially available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference.
Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase implementations and get valuable feedback from the community, especially for those papers that have been presented in the main track. Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how these will be demonstrated on-site as well as online.
To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or YouTube) or any external material related to the demo (e.g., shared code on GitHub).
*Non-Anonymity.* Submissions will be reviewed single-masked (i.e., authors’ names should be included in the papers) thus there is no need to be anonymized before submission.
*Template for the Research Description.* Following the ACM Publication Workflow<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in the new ACM single-column format. Instructions for authors are given below:
* LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript, review, anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with LaTeX<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>.
* Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Overleaf<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/overleaf>.
* Word. Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Microsoft Word<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>
Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com<mailto:acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com> for LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries.
* Accessibility.* Authors are strongly encouraged to provide “alt text” (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author and it broadens the reader base for the author’s work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Additionally, authors should follow the ACM Accessibility Recommendations for Publishing in Color and SIG ACCESS guidelines on describing figures<https://authors.acm.org/journals/accessibility-recommendations-for-publishi…>.
** Review Process & Camera-ready Submission **
* Review * Submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall readability. Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the formatting guidelines will be returned without review.
The ACM Code of Ethics<https://ethics.acm.org/> gives the UMAP program committee the right to (desk-)reject papers that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, employ unethical research practices, or uncritically present outcomes/implications that clearly disadvantage minority communities. Further, reviewers will be explicitly asked to consider whether the research was conducted in compliance with professional ethical standards and applicable regulatory guidelines. Failure to do so could lead to a (desk-)rejection.
*Camera-ready Information.* Accepted papers will be subject to further revision to meet the requirements of the camera-ready format required by ACM. We strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX/Overleaf for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting. Users of the Word template must use either the version for Microsoft Word for Windows, Macintosh Office 2011, or Macintosh Office 2016 (other formats such as Open Office, etc., are not admitted) for the camera-ready submission to avoid incompatibility issues.
Instructions for preparing the camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be provided after acceptance. This might include instructions to prepare a video of the accepted contribution. Camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be later submitted using ACM’s new production platform<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML output formats before publication.
** Registration and Presentation Policy **
Each accepted paper must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the early registration date cut-off. Each accepted paper must be presented in person to be included in the conference adjunct proceedings, published by ACM and available via the ACM Digital Library. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
During the conference, all categories will be presented at the poster reception, in the form of a poster and/or a software demonstration following poster format. This form of presentation will provide presenters with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the conference.

ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers
ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
July 1-4, 2024
The 32nd International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2024) is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. The ACM UMAP 2024 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place as part of the conference. The DC provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of distinguished researchers and industry practitioners from the field.
Doctoral students are invited to apply for presenting their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. Students should consider participating in the DC if they are at least one year away from completing their dissertation at the time of the event, but after having settled on a research area or dissertation topic.
This forum will provide doctoral students with an opportunity to:
* Present and discuss their research ideas to experienced scholars in a supportive, formative, and yet critical environment.
* Explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of distinguished researchers from the field who will provide constructive feedback and advice.
* Explore career pathways available after completing their doctoral degree.
* Network and build collaborations with other members of the community.
Students are asked to submit a brief proposal outlining their doctoral research (see detailed requirements below), which will be evaluated by the doctoral consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a DC session as part of the conference. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student’s work. A mentoring session will take place during the conference, and the DC students are expected to attend.
** Important Dates **
Paper Submission: March 28, 2024
Notification: April 26, 2024
Camera-ready Submission (TAPS system): May 9, 2024
Conference: July 1 – 4, 2024
DC Day: July TBD, 2024 (it will happen in one of the conference days)
Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth)<https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe> time.
** Submission **
All submissions must be written in English. Submissions should be a single PDF document consisting of: (i) the recommendation letter, (ii) the research description, and (iii) the curriculum vitae. This PDF document should be submitted electronically through the EasyChair submission system, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap24, by selecting the “UMAP24 Doctoral Consortium Papers” track.
** Length and Formatting **
Format and Content Guidelines. Consult the ACM UMAP 2024 general call for full and short papers<https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-full-and-short-papers/> concerning the key topics of this call as well. Each proposal should be a single PDF document, with three required components: (i) a recommendation letter, (ii) a description of your doctoral path, (iii) and a curriculum vitae. If you are unable to obtain a letter of recommendation from your dissertation advisor, please include a short explanation. Specifically, for each component, please consider the following instructions:
1. Letter of Recommendation (from your primary dissertation advisor, in any format):
* Describe your interaction with the student and your assessment of the quality of their work. Explain how the ACM UMAP 2024 doctoral consortium would benefit this student at this point in their doctoral program, as well as the contributions you expect the student to make to the group.
* The DC targets students who have a clear idea of their research plans and have started their research but have not yet executed a majority of their research. Please explain the structure of your student’s program and their expected level of progress by July 2024.
* Recall that students who are unable to obtain a letter of recommendation from their dissertation advisor (or the equivalent) should instead include a short explanation and a description of where the student is in their doctoral progress and the anticipated timeline.
1. Research description (6 pages at most plus additional pages for references; figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit): using a single-column manuscript formatted according to the guidelines discussed below, please include the following:
* Your name, advisor(s) name(s), and the university where you are conducting your doctoral work.
* Current year of study and projected completion date (plus information about the regulations of your doctoral program regarding length, any part-time study, etc.).
* Context and motivation for your research.
* Key related work that frames your research.
* Specific research objectives, goals, or questions.
* Research approach, methods, and rationale.
* Results and contributions to date.
* Expected next steps.
* Dissertation status and long-term goals.
1. Curriculum vitae (2 pages at most, in any format): a concise summary of your current curriculum vitae, including research publications. Clearly separate published papers from those under review or in press.
Please ensure that your submission is complete and conforms to the format and content guidelines above. Submissions that do not meet these requirements will be desk-rejected.
*Single-Blind Policy*. Proposals will be reviewed single-blind and, therefore, do not need to be anonymized before submission.
*Template for the Research Description*. Following the ACM Publication Workflow<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>, the research description component should be arranged based on the new ACM single-column format. Instructions for students are given below:
* LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript, review, anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with LaTeX<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>.
* Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Overleaf<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/overleaf>.
* Word. Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Microsoft Word<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>
Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com<mailto:acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com> for LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries.
*Accessibility*. DC students are strongly encouraged to provide “alt text” (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author and it broadens the reader base for the author’s work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Additionally, authors should follow the ACM Accessibility Recommendations for Publishing in Color and SIG ACCESS guidelines on describing figures<https://authors.acm.org/journals/accessibility-recommendations-for-publishi…>.
*Submission Policy*. Please consider the following ACM’s publication policies:
1. “By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies<https://www.acm.org/publications/policies>, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects<https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-particip…>. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.”
2. “Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID<https://orcid.org/register>, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors<https://authors.acm.org/author-resources/orcid-faqs>. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.”
*Camera-ready Information*. Accepted proposals (i.e., the research description component) will require a further revision in order to meet the requirements and the page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the papers will be provided after acceptance. We strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX/Overleaf for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting. Users of the Word template must use either the version for Microsoft Word for Windows, Macintosh Office 2011, or Macintosh Office 2016 (other formats such as Open Office, etc., are not admitted) for the camera-ready submission to avoid incompatibility issues.
** Registration and Presentation Policy **
Each accepted proposal in the doctoral consortium track must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the doctoral student by the early registration date cut-off. Each accepted proposal must be presented in person in the doctoral consortium session to be included in the conference proceedings, published by ACM and available via the ACM Digital Library. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
** Grants and Support **
ACM UMAP has a long history of supporting students who want to attend the conference. Doctoral students of the accepted DC proposals will have higher priority for the ACM UMAP grant applications. Please periodically consult the page that summarizes grants and support opportunities, available at https://www.um.org/umap2024/grants-and-support/.

Overview
Since 2016, the year during which ASLERD together with other associations promoted the Timisoara Declaration - "Better learning for a better world - Through People-Centered Smart Learning Ecosystems" [1] - a number of happenings have impacted considerably the evolution of the learning ecosystems to the point that it is deemed necessary to revise the Timisoara Declaration and promote a reflection on the configuration that learning ecosystems may take in the future, well beyond 2030, i.e. the year indicated by Unesco to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals [2].
The 2020 pandemic has left its mark and unveiled the real state of the art in the integration of digital technologies as an aid to the development of educational processes and, as well, on the entity of the digital divide; it has also unveiled the basis of the existing relationships between learning ecosystems, political power and society at large.
Overcoming the present transmissive model, sometimes referred to for the specifies of its organization as the school-factory model, would seem to call for a transition to smart learning ecosystems in which learning processes are expected to become competence-based and foster the "learning by being" [3], in which physical spaces are increasingly characterized by their affordances and functionality as well as becoming phygital and interconnected, in which learning processes are designed with increasing awareness having as aim the achievement of the wellbeing of all the actors of such processes, as well as that of the society that, in turn, feel fully co-responsible for the formation of young people, also as proactive inhabitants of a world that they should respect in all its components, also to preserve its state of health. A transition that cannot avoid to take into due consideration the growing pervasiveness of Artificial Intelligences and the need that young people have to learn to tame and filter them, strong in the acquired skills that will still make them inimitable and unique in their potential to critically design and innovate.
This special issue dedicated to "Smart learning ecosystems beyond the 2030s" is also the result of a debate that is taking place within IAALDE (International Alliance to Advance Learning in the Digital Era) [4] and which had an initial public discussion at the open debate held on occasion of SLERD 2023 [5] to which took part representatives of various associations such as APSCE - Asia Pacific Society for Computers in Education, ASLERD - Association for Smart Learning Ecosystem and Regional Development, GCSCE - Global Chinese Society for Computers in Education, L@S - ACM`s Learning at Scale, SoLar - Society for Learning Analytics Research.
The purpose of the special issue, therefore, in addition to collecting the contributions of those who participated in the debate, is to broaden the discussion to scholars and practitioners who are engaged in the development of future learning ecosystems and who would like to contribute with and share their own vision.

*** CAiSE'24 Forum: Third Call for Papers and Tool Demonstrations ***
36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering
(CAiSE'24)
June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/
(*** Submission Deadline: 4th March, 2024 AoE ***)
The CAiSE Forum is a space within the CAiSE conference to present and discuss the new
exciting ideas and tools related to Information Systems Engineering. The Forum intends to
serve as an interactive platform, encourage potential authors to present emerging topics and
controversial positions, and demonstrate innovative systems, tools, and applications. The
Forum sessions at the CAiSE conference will facilitate the interaction, discussion, and
exchange of ideas among presenters and participants. Contributions to the CAiSE'24 Forum
are welcome to address any of the CAiSE'24 conference topics and, particularly, this year's
theme—Information Systems in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
We invite two types of submissions:
• Visionary papers present innovative research projects, which are still at a relatively early
stage and do not necessarily include a full-scale validation. Visionary papers will be
presented as posters in the Forum.
• Demo papers describe innovative tools and prototypes that implement the results of
research efforts. The tools and prototypes will be presented as demos in the Forum,
accompanied by a poster.
Both visionary papers and demo papers must not exceed 8 pages in LNCS format.
See authors' guidelines at the Springer site:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… .
Papers should be submitted in PDF format through the conference management system
available at Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=caise2024) and select the
Forum option.
The submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere.
PUBLICATION AND PRESENTATIONS
Accepted papers will be published by Springer in a CAISE Forum proceedings volume within
the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series
(https://www.springer.com/series/7911). Authors should consult Springer's authors
guidelines and use their LaTeX or Word proceedings templates for the preparation of their
papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the
corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper,
must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the
copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files
have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
It is expected that at least one of the authors attends CAiSE'24, presents the poster/delivers
the demo, and interacts with the Forum participants. We also envision a short oral
presentation for all papers to attract participants to the posters.

ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers
ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
July 1-4, 2024
The 32nd International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2024) is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. The ACM UMAP 2024 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place as part of the conference. The DC provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of distinguished researchers and industry practitioners from the field.
Doctoral students are invited to apply for presenting their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. Students should consider participating in the DC if they are at least one year away from completing their dissertation at the time of the event, but after having settled on a research area or dissertation topic.
This forum will provide doctoral students with an opportunity to:
* Present and discuss their research ideas to experienced scholars in a supportive, formative, and yet critical environment.
* Explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of distinguished researchers from the field who will provide constructive feedback and advice.
* Explore career pathways available after completing their doctoral degree.
* Network and build collaborations with other members of the community.
Students are asked to submit a brief proposal outlining their doctoral research (see detailed requirements below), which will be evaluated by the doctoral consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a DC session as part of the conference. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student’s work. A mentoring session will take place during the conference, and the DC students are expected to attend.
** Important Dates **

Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth)<https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe> time.
** Submission **
All submissions must be written in English. Submissions should be a single PDF document consisting of: (i) the recommendation letter, (ii) the research description, and (iii) the curriculum vitae. This PDF document should be submitted electronically through the EasyChair submission system, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap24, by selecting the “UMAP24 Doctoral Consortium Papers” track.
** Length and Formatting **
Format and Content Guidelines. Consult the ACM UMAP 2024 general call for full and short papers<https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-full-and-short-papers/> concerning the key topics of this call as well. Each proposal should be a single PDF document, with three required components: (i) a recommendation letter, (ii) a description of your doctoral path, (iii) and a curriculum vitae. If you are unable to obtain a letter of recommendation from your dissertation advisor, please include a short explanation. Specifically, for each component, please consider the following instructions:
1. Letter of Recommendation (from your primary dissertation advisor, in any format):
* Describe your interaction with the student and your assessment of the quality of their work. Explain how the ACM UMAP 2024 doctoral consortium would benefit this student at this point in their doctoral program, as well as the contributions you expect the student to make to the group.
* The DC targets students who have a clear idea of their research plans and have started their research but have not yet executed a majority of their research. Please explain the structure of your student’s program and their expected level of progress by July 2024.
* Recall that students who are unable to obtain a letter of recommendation from their dissertation advisor (or the equivalent) should instead include a short explanation and a description of where the student is in their doctoral progress and the anticipated timeline.
1. Research description (6 pages at most plus additional pages for references; figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit): using a single-column manuscript formatted according to the guidelines discussed below, please include the following:
* Your name, advisor(s) name(s), and the university where you are conducting your doctoral work.
* Current year of study and projected completion date (plus information about the regulations of your doctoral program regarding length, any part-time study, etc.).
* Context and motivation for your research.
* Key related work that frames your research.
* Specific research objectives, goals, or questions.
* Research approach, methods, and rationale.
* Results and contributions to date.
* Expected next steps.
* Dissertation status and long-term goals.
1. Curriculum vitae (2 pages at most, in any format): a concise summary of your current curriculum vitae, including research publications. Clearly separate published papers from those under review or in press.
Please ensure that your submission is complete and conforms to the format and content guidelines above. Submissions that do not meet these requirements will be desk-rejected.
*Single-Blind Policy*. Proposals will be reviewed single-blind and, therefore, do not need to be anonymized before submission.
*Template for the Research Description*. Following the ACM Publication Workflow<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>, the research description component should be arranged based on the new ACM single-column format. Instructions for students are given below:
* LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript, review, anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with LaTeX<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>.
* Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Overleaf<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/overleaf>.
* Word. Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Microsoft Word<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>
Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com<mailto:acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com> for LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries.
*Accessibility*. DC students are strongly encouraged to provide “alt text” (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author and it broadens the reader base for the author’s work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Additionally, authors should follow the ACM Accessibility Recommendations for Publishing in Color and SIG ACCESS guidelines on describing figures<https://authors.acm.org/journals/accessibility-recommendations-for-publishi…>.
*Submission Policy*. Please consider the following ACM’s publication policies:
1. “By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies<https://www.acm.org/publications/policies>, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects<https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-particip…>. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.”
2. “Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID<https://orcid.org/register>, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors<https://authors.acm.org/author-resources/orcid-faqs>. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.”
*Camera-ready Information*. Accepted proposals (i.e., the research description component) will require a further revision in order to meet the requirements and the page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the papers will be provided after acceptance. We strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX/Overleaf for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting. Users of the Word template must use either the version for Microsoft Word for Windows, Macintosh Office 2011, or Macintosh Office 2016 (other formats such as Open Office, etc., are not admitted) for the camera-ready submission to avoid incompatibility issues.
** Registration and Presentation Policy **
Each accepted proposal in the doctoral consortium track must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the doctoral student by the early registration date cut-off. Each accepted proposal must be presented in person in the doctoral consortium session to be included in the conference proceedings, published by ACM and available via the ACM Digital Library. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
** Financial Support **
ACM UMAP has a long history of supporting students who want to attend the conference. Doctoral students of the accepted DC proposals will have higher priority for the ACM UMAP grant applications. Please periodically consult the page that summarizes grants and support opportunities, available at https://www.um.org/umap2024/grants-and-support/.

CfP: Human Work Interaction Design 2024 (HWID'2024)
Sustainable Workplaces by Design
Università degli Studi di Milano, Milan (Italy) - September 5-6, 2024
Joint conference of the IFIP WG 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design and IFIP
WG 13.5 on Human Error, Resilience, Reliability, Safety and System
Development
---------------------------------
Designing for sustainability extends beyond merely reducing resource
consumption and waste. It encompasses environmental, social, and economic
dimensions while acknowledging their potential conflicts. Today, designers
need to anticipate the impact on future generations, and social equity and
justice between workers, while also considering financial performance. It
appears clear that focusing solely on individual behaviour change, without
considering workplace practices and reaching decision-makers, can only have
a limited influence. While interactive systems to support sustainability
have been proposed, it is crucial not to overlook the interactive systems
used by workers in this endeavor.
Beyond being mere tools, automation and AI systems must become work
partners collaborating with workers to enhance their performance by taking
over repetitive and tedious tasks. However, as these systems increasingly
handle high-level cognitive tasks, designing meaningful roles for workers
is even more challenging when designers already have to deal with known
issues such as complacency, deskilling, monitoring, and takeover
performances when automated systems reach their operational limits or fail.
Consequently, methods, tools, and processes need to be refined to ensure a
positive user experience and identify novel forms of human-automation
cooperation for sustainable workplaces.
THEME, SCOPE, AND FOCUS
The theme of HWID'24 emphasizes the insights into the relationship between
the sustainability of workplaces, the anticipatory potentials of design,
and how automation and AI may fit the picture. It calls for a workplace
design oriented towards sustainability, responsibility, and explainability.
Examples of relevant questions include:
- What does the very notion of design imply from the point of view of being
sustainable, responsible, and explainable, and how can these values be
embodied in workplaces?
- How to design environment-friendly and humane workplaces?
- What individualistic vs collectivistic frictions may emerge from
unethical practices, and how can design mitigate them?
- How to design workplaces ensuring social equity and well-being when we
deal with both biased humans and automated systems?
- How to identify, evaluate, and support the new UX interactional patterns
between workers and AI and maintain workers' efficiency and well-being?
- How can alternative forms of job design (e.g. job crafting) mitigate
conflicts between the pursuit of financial profit and the reduction of
companies’ impact on the environment? Can automation help?
Topics of interest include:
- Artificial Intelligence and Intelligence Augmentation in the workplace
- Collaborative robots
- Virtual Assistants
- Digital Twins
- Cyber-physical systems
- Automation for social equity and well-being
- User experience in workplaces and novel forms of human-computer
cooperation
- Sustainability, Responsibility, and Ethics of Technology in Workplaces
This working conference aims to answer these and more questions by
involving professionals working in academia, national labs, and industry
who are engaged in human work analysis and interaction design for
sustainable workplaces. We will discuss tools, procedures, and professional
competencies needed to face issues and opportunities provided by workplace
design's sustainable and automatization perspectives.

*CFP for the 1st Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users
(IR4U2)*
Please join us at IR4U2, co-located with the 46th European Conference on
Information Retrieval (ECIR), which will take place 24th-28th March 2024 in
Glasgow, Scotland
Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research.
Nevertheless, most advancements in this domain have primarily favored what
we might term 'conventional' users, such as English-speaking adults.
We envision IR4U2 as a forum to spotlight efforts that, while sparse,
consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups when designing,
developing, assessing, and deploying the IR technologies that directly
impact them.
Among these groups, we find, for example, older adults, young children and
adolescents, individuals afflicted by mental health disorders, users with
autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with intellectual disabilities,
or those with specific learning needs.
We aim to
1.
Raise awareness about ongoing efforts focused on IR technologies
designed for and used by often understudied user groups;
2.
Identify challenges and open issues impacting this area of research;
3.
Ignite discussions to identify common frameworks for future research;
4.
Outline a general approach to facilitate research endeavors driven by
and at the service of specific user groups.
5.
Cross-fertilization and community-building by sharing lessons learned
gathered from research catering to different audiences by researchers and
(industry) practitioners across various disciplines.
IR4U2 will be a highly participatory, full-day, in-person workshop. This
will involve informal interactions, facilitated group work, and brief
presentations of accepted contributions. These contributions will help
construct a snapshot of the current works in this area.
Topics of interest include:
-
User modeling to enable IR and recommendation technologies tailored to
understudied populations.
-
Data collection and benchmark development of IR catering to understudied
populations.
-
IR applications targeting understudied populations.
-
UI/UX for search, recommender, and question-answering systems for
understudied populations.
-
IR-related technology (clustering, classification, text processing, text
complexity) and their impact on understudied populations.
-
Different perspectives of evaluation.
-
Design of the user interaction with IR systems.
-
Ethical issues associated with IR technologies for understudied users;
e.g., their right to be represented, acknowledged, have access, and be
served by existing and to-be-developed systems.
This is not an exhaustive list, as we are also interested in contributions
discussing challenges inherent to designing IR technology at the service of
understudied user groups–from the need for multidisciplinary,
multi-stakeholder collaborations to how to build datasets.
Submissions:
Peer-reviewed contributions. These include research papers presenting
empirical explorations, user studies, and/or new algorithms related to the
open problems listed in topics of interest, as well as position/vision
contributions discussing uses cases, challenges, and future research
directions. These contributions should be submitted on EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ir4u2) at least 4 pages, but up to
12 (excluding references) formatted in CEURART’s single-column template.
Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop and published in
workshop proceedings.
Editorially-reviewed contributions. To enable potential attendees to
articulate their views on the topics of the workshop, share
already-published works, bring awareness to ongoing European projects in
this area, etc., we ask the submission of a short extended abstract. This
type of informal submission (via this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1yZcqJiY9tMP03DXrDtJkeX0rY9ZB0AH5Dvs9DdehSO…)
will be editorially

NLDB 2024
The 29th International Conference on Natural Language & Information Systems
25-27 June 2024, University of Turin, Italy.
Website: https://nldb2024.di.unito.it/
Submission deadline: 22 March, 2024
About NLDB
The 29th International Conference on Natural Language & Information
Systems will be held at the University of Turin, Italy, and will be a
face to face event. Since 1995, the NLDB conference brings together
researchers, industry practitioners, and potential users interested in
various applications of Natural Language in the Database and Information
Systems field. The term "Information Systems" has to be considered in
the broader sense of Information and Communication Systems, including
Big Data, Linked Data and Social Networks.
The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has itself recently
experienced several exciting developments. In research, these
developments have been reflected in the emergence of Large Language
Modelsand the importance of aspects such as transparency, bias and
fairness, Large Multimodal Models and the connection of the NLP field
with Computer Vision, chatbots and dialogue-based pipelines.
Regarding applications, NLP systems have evolved to the point that they
now offer real-life, tangible benefits to enterprises. Many of these NLP
systems are now considered a de-facto offering in business intelligence
suites, such as algorithms for recommender systems and opinion
mining/sentiment analysis. Language models developed by the open-source
community have become widespread and commonly used. Businesses are now
readily adopting these technologies, thanks to the efforts of the
open-source community. For example, fine-tuning a language model on a
company’s own dataset is now easy and convenient, using modules created
by thousands of academic researchers and industry experts.
It is against this backdrop of recent innovations in NLP and its
applications in information systems that the 29th edition of the NLDB
conference takes place. We welcome research and industrial
contributions, describing novel, previously unpublished works on NLP and
its applications across a plethora of topics as described in the Call
for Papers.
Call for Papers:
NLDB 2024 invites authors to submit papers on unpublished research that
addresses theoretical aspects, algorithms, applications, architectures
for applied and integrated NLP, resources for applied NLP, and other
aspects of NLP, as well as survey and discussion papers. This year's

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Recently, researchers have been examining the unforeseen issues caused by the excessive use of personal devices and online services, especially as companies increasingly employ "attention-capture" tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users' psychological vulnerabilities, aiming to boost advertising revenue, resulting in tangible repercussions on users' perceived agency and often leading to a perceived lack of control over their technology use. These problems gave rise to a new kind of psychological "digital wellbeing," investigated in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and psychology. Traditional strategies employed by practitioners and researchers involve the creation of Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), i.e., mobile applications and browser extensions that empower users to monitor their usage patterns and implement interventions, such as timers and lock-out mechanisms, to self-regulate device usage. Yet, researchers and the users themselves are starting to warn that achieving digital wellbeing is a path of personal growth that requires education more than self-monitoring strategies.
The objective of this workshop is to establish a venue for the academic and industrial communities to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education, aiming to promote the development of strategies and tools to "teach" users – particularly children and teenagers – to use technology more meaningfully and consciously. This objective can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by creating novel DSCTs that include educational aspects, serious games, or collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning at school.
This workshop is part of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2024).
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, psychology, design, and/or education to engage in dialog on the topics above. A key priority of our workshop will be to invite submissions from an intellectually diverse and global group of participants to further discussions on how appropriate human-centered design can contribute to digital wellbeing education. Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper (2-4 pages) describing and highlighting their contributions to the workshop topics.
The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems;
- tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school;
- strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing;
- novel DSCTs that include educational aspects;
- gamification strategies for digital wellbeing;
- ethical, social, and political factors.
WORKSHOP STRUCTURE
This half-day workshop will be interactive and informal. It will combine presentations of accepted position papers with discussions and hands-on sessions, aimed at generating ideas for future research directions. The workshop is planned to be in-person, at the conference. Virtual participation will be made possible. AVI workshops are scheduled for either the 3rd or 4th of June, 2024. Please check back the workshop website soon for the exact dates and scheduling information.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions of position papers should be of 2-4 pages, in the ACM Primary Article Submission Templates (single column, https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).
PDFs of submissions can be emailed to Alberto Monge Roffarello (one of the organizers) at alberto.monge(a)polito.it. They will be reviewed by all organizers based on relevance, originality, and overall quality. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop. Virtual participation will be made possible.
All workshop participants will need to register for the workshop.

Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
July 1-4, 2024
ACM UMAP is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI<https://sigchi.org/> and SIGWEB<https://www.sigweb.org/>. User Modeling Inc.<https://um.org/>, as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library<https://dl.acm.org/>.
The theme of UMAP 2024 is “Collaboration and Cooperation for the Greater Good“. Specifically, we welcome submissions that highlight the impact that working together and synergy (such as between academia, industry, influential policy making bodies, committees and communities) can have on solving the world’s biggest problems; the focus is on investigations that capture how user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems may influence user behavior, trustful processes and whether new models are required, for building sustainable and inclusive services and solutions that can address critical challenges of our world.
While we encourage submissions related to this theme, the scope of the conference is not limited to the theme only. As always, contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis).
Important Dates
- Paper Abstract Submission: January 22, 2024 (mandatory)
- Paper Submission: January 29, 2024
- Notification: March 28, 2024
- Camera-ready Submission: May 9, 2024

The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth).
Conference Topics
We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems targeting a broad range of users and domains. Detailed descriptions and the suggested topics for each track will be available shortly in the extended version of the CFP on this page.
** Personalized Recommender Systems **
This track invites works from researchers and practitioners on recommender systems. In addition to mature research works addressing technical aspects of recommendations, we welcome research contributions that address questions related to user perception, decision-making, and the business value of recommender systems.
** Knowledge Graphs, Semantics, Social and Adaptive Web **
This track welcomes works focused on the use of knowledge representations (i.e., novel knowledge bases), graph algorithms (i.e., graph embedding techniques), and social network analysis at the service of addressing all aspects of personalization, user model building, and personal experience in online social systems. Moreover, this track invites works in adaptive hypermedia, as well as semantic and social web.
** Intelligent User Interfaces **
This track invites works exploring how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter and more productive, leveraging solutions from human-computer interaction, data mining, natural language processing, information visualization, and knowledge representation and reasoning.
** Personalizing Learning Experiences through User Modeling **
This track invites researchers, developers, and practitioners from various disciplines to submit their innovative learning solutions, share acquired experiences, and discuss their modeling challenges for personalized adaptive learning.
** Fairness, Transparency, Accountability, and Privacy **
Researchers, developers, and practitioners have a social responsibility to account for the impact that technologies have on individuals (users, providers, and other stakeholders) and society. This track invites works related to the science of building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying adaptive systems that are fair, transparent, respectful of users’ privacy, beneficial to society, and accountable for their impacts.
** Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems **
This track invites submissions focused on personalization and tailoring for persuasive technologies, including but not limited to personalization models, user models, computational personalization, design, and evaluation methods. It also welcomes work that brings attention to the user experience and designing personalized and adaptive behavior change technologies.
** Virtual Assistants, Conversational Interactions, and Personalized Human-Robot Interaction **
This track invites works investigating new models and techniques for adapting synthetic companions (e.g., virtual assistants, chatbots, social robots) to individual users. With the conversational modality so in vogue across disciplines, this track welcomes work highlighting the model and deployment of synthetic companions driven by conversational search and recommendation paradigms.
** Research Methods and Reproducibility**
This track invites submissions on methodologies to evaluate personalized systems, benchmarks, and measurement scales, with particular attention to the reproducibility of results and techniques. Furthermore, the track looks for submissions that report new insights from reproducing existing works.
** Submission and Review Process**
For UMAP 2024 we encourage two kinds of submissions (reviewers will comment on whether the size is appropriate for each contribution), in the ACM new single-column format<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>:
* Long papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The maximum length is 14 pages (excluding references, which do not count towards the limit). Each accepted long paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program.
* Short papers typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking strong theoretical foundation. The maximum length is 7 pages (excluding references, which do not count towards the limit). Each accepted short paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented either as an oral presentation or at the poster session.
UMAP uses a double-blind review process. Authors must omit their names and affiliations from their submissions; they should also avoid obvious identifying statements. For instance, citations to the authors’ prior work should be in the third person. Submissions not abiding by anonymity requirements will be desk rejected. In addition, UMAP 2024 will introduce a new “Raise Your Voice” stage during evaluation, offering a small window to authors to optionally discuss the initial decision of their submission, enhancing the transparency and quality of the reviewing process. Additional review criteria and submission link will be available shortly on the conference website: https://www.um.org/umap2024.
UMAP has a no dual submission policy, which is why full and short paper submissions should not be currently under review at another publication venue. Further, UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduc<https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment>t.

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

Synthetic Images to Support Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems
https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/pattern-recognition-letters/about/cal…
<https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com/?d=sciencedirect.com&u=aHR0cHM6L…>
DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE
Today's health systems collect and deliver most medical data in digital
format, mainly thanks to the scientific and technological advances that
have led to digitization and increased generation and collection of data
describing real-world applications or processes.
The availability of medical data enables a large number of artificial
intelligence applications, and there is growing interest in quantitative
analysis of clinical images, such as Positron Emission Tomography,
Computerized Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
In addition, machine and deep learning models and data-driven artificial
intelligence applications have proven to improve the management and
decision-making to improve the discovery of new therapeutic tools, support
diagnostic decisions, aid in the rehabilitation process, etc.
Despite the potential of data-driven solutions, many problems prevent or
delay the development of such solutions. For example, the increasing amount
of available data can lead to increased effort to make a diagnosis and is
even more challenging due to high inter/intra patient variability, the
availability of different imaging techniques, the absence of completely
standard acquisition procedures, and the need to consider data from
multiple sensors and sources.
Additional relevant issues are data access and the representativeness of
the captured sample compared to the actual population. Access to real data
may be delayed or even prevented for various reasons, such as privacy,
security, and intellectual property, or the development of the necessary
(quality) acquisition and preparation technology. Sample representativeness
is another critical issue involving class imbalance and the representation
of rare and extreme events, which is crucial for the performance of
artificial intelligence models.
For these reasons, researchers have recently explored the use of synthetic
data (SD) with three different use cases regarding (i) data augmentation to
balance data sets or supplement available data before training a model,
(ii) privacy preservation to enable secure and private sharing of sensitive
data; and (iii) simulation: to estimate and teach systems in situations
that have not been observed in actual reality.
The main goals of this special issue are to bring together diverse, new,
and impactful research on synthetic data generation for biomedical imaging
with a powerful impact on Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems for real-world
clinical applications.
TOPICS
Topics of interest to this special issue include, but are not limited to:
- Synthetic Images for Privacy-Preserving Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems
- Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Training with Synthetic Images
- Synthetic Images for Benchmarking Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems
- Medical Image Translation
- Text-guided Medical Image Generation
- Multimodal Medical Image Generation
- Synthetic Images for Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Domain Adaptation
- Synthetic Images for Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Domain

Dear all,
We need your help spreading this call to all children around the world to
help us design *“Inclusive Technologies.”*
We are excited to share details of this year’s Research and Design
Challenge (R&DC) associated with the *ACM Interaction Design with Children
Conference (**IDC 2024* <https://idc.acm.org/2024/>*)* to be held in* Delft,
Netherlands, June 17-20 2024*. The Research and Design Challenge track, as
part of the ACM Interaction Design with Children conference (IDC 2024
<https://idc.acm.org/2024/>), aims to hear children’s voices and ideas to
inspire researchers to propose and submit their design concepts based on
children’s submissions.
This track has two phases:
- In phase 1, children all over the world are invited to submit their
initial ideas in response to the theme *“Inclusive Technologies.”* The
deadline for this phase is *January** 31st, 2024*.
- In phase 2, we invite everyone, including children, researchers, and
designers, to submit a design concept (i.e., prototypes, not actual
artefacts) with the same theme, “Inclusive Technologies,” that builds on
one or more of the ideas submitted by children in Phase 1. The deadline for
this phase is *April 3rd, 2024*.
If you have children or know colleagues and relatives with children, you
can inform and encourage children and young adults in your family and
friends about this opportunity. If you are an educator or researcher
working with children and know people who work in schools, spread this call
to them. The call is available in several languages on the website
<https://idc.acm.org/2024/research-and-design-challenge/> in the format of
a PDF flyer.

*OVERVIEW*
This year, the Interaction Design and Children 2024 conference invites
children, scholars, designers, and practitioners to participate in this
year's Research and Design Challenge (R&DC) under the theme of “Inclusive
Technologies”. We invite people from all over the world, of all genders,
countries, and needs, to imagine and submit their ideas thinking of the
following question – How can we transform existing technologies
(educational software, assistive devices, social media platforms, and
interactive gaming, robots, computers, and more) to be more inclusive (more
balanced, with the same opportunities for all, where everyone is welcome)?
*SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PHASE 1*
In Phase 1 of the Research & Design Challenge, children all over the world
are invited to submit their initial ideas in response to the theme
“Inclusive Technologies.” Individuals or teams can make submissions from a
classroom, after-school program, club, maker space, or combinations from
different schools, clubs, towns, or countries.
Each individual or team is invited to fill out a simple form with a brief
description of their idea along with drawings, pictures or other forms that
best express an initial impression of the idea. The ideas received will
form the basis for the second phase of the Research & Design Challenge. We
accept submissions in any language. To make non-English design ideas
understandable for people around the world, we will use translation tools
to convert them into English.
Submit children's ideas for Phase 1 here:
