Among the similarities, a tendency of the individuals to remain in a comfort zone and a general unpreparedness to operate in a full virtual space. Suddenly the two dimensions that characterizes the smart learning ecosystems - physical and virtual - started to be perceived somewhat as antithetical and it came out that the e-maturity of a learning ecosystem is not sufficient to explain and predict its transformation. Many factors concur - processual, social, individual - to determine the technological evolution of learning ecosystems and their smartness. For sure the pandemic has generated a higher awareness about the intrinsic nature of the smart learning ecosystems and it is likely that they will no longer be the same after the pandemic. Some scholars refer to an age characterized by a so-called “new normality”. What should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How “smart learning ecosystems” are already changing? How such changes may be related to the achievement of “a better learning for a better world” as a contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ? How will they contribute to the reduction of inequalities?/ Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts, does not simply means “technology enhanced”. The smartness is a more complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning, especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation. Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they are not a “sine qua non”. The achievement of the learning ecosystems’ smartness is a process that need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen goals. /* *//*Topics of interests*/ can be grouped under three big themes: /*• places for smart education */ * • future of institutional learning • interplay between formal and informal learning • new educational models and settings • continuity-discontinuity of time, technology, place/space, processes in learning • role of, and case studies of, games and gamification in smart education • dual education and other alternate scheme approaches • monitoring and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region) * /*• people in place centered design for smart education*/ * • general frameworks and methodological advances • design, data and other relevant literacies • smart citizen’s literacies, skill and competences • communities and co-design in smart learning • sharing & participatory practices • open access to any resource and disparity • cultural influences * /*• supportive learning technologies for smart education*/ * • intelligent tutoring systems and interfaces • semantic web technologies and applications • text/opinion mining and sentiment analysis • real/virtual communities and social network analysis • interoperability and application of open/smart data and services • safety & security in education • IoT, ubiquitous and wearable technologies • adaptability to educational contexts and citizens • role of VR in education * ========================================================= /*Important dates:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline for papers submission: *March**15, 2021* • Notification to the authors: April 30, 2021 • Camera ready paper: May 15, 2021 • Conference: June 24-25, 2021 ========================================== /*Proceedings:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- *Proceedings*, as for previous editions, will be published by *Springer* in the Series *Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies* <https://www.springer.com/series/8767> that will be indexed by SCOPUS, EI-Compendex and Springerlink.

EICS 2021 Tech Notes CfP

by Davide Spano

[Apologizes for cross-posting] The Tech Notes track focuses on exclusively strong technical engineering contributions. EICS Tech Notes are 6-page papers (excluding the reference list) that focus specifically on system contributions and technical work, including (but not limited to): - Infrastructures and architectures (high-level toolkits, frameworks, networking infrastructures, the big systems picture) - Technical realizations of specific interaction techniques (e.g., sensing & recognition, computer vision implementations, rendering pipelines) - Engineering of physical interactive systems (e.g., toolkits for physical computing or fabrication, hacking or modding of machinery for interactive purposes) - Computational constructs (e.g., optimization methods, mathematical modelling of HCI systems, model-driven UI design) - Specification and verification (e.g. language representations for HCI, formal approaches, optimization methods, semantic models, testing / checking interactive systems) Tech notes can be submitted through the Precision Conference System: <https://new.precisionconference.com/sigchi> https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions Important Dates - Submission deadline: 12/03/2021 - Notifications: 16/04/2021 - Camera-Ready: 30/04/2021 Content Tech Notes is a venue created to elaborate on the technical aspects of research work, which would typically only be a short part of a longer article. The presented research can be related to previous publications, however, the tech note should present additional technical details and reflections that are not covered in the original publication(s). Authors are encouraged to refer to previously published research papers and elaborate on technical components or discuss specific technical implications of their previous work. Tech Notes will be judged on their technical merits and relevance to interactive systems concerns. The focus lies specifically on elucidating technical details of complex interactive systems. Tech Notes require an illustrative example of the system. They do not include formal evaluations or user studies. Format Tech Notes are published as a 6-page paper in the standard ACM SIGCHI format <https://sigchi.org/templates> (excluding references). In line with recent policies by ACM regarding publishing software and data artifacts in the ACM Digital Library (https://www.acm.org/publications/artifacts), authors are strongly encouraged to provide supplemental material. This could include additional diagrams detailing the technical contribution, (online) demos, links to source code repositories, videos, or example applications. We suggest, wherever applicable the paper to be accompanied by a (max) one-minute video presenting the technical contribution. The URL of the video must be mentioned in the paper itself. We also highly encourage authors to share a public repository of their software. Tech Notes Chairs - Anke Dittmar, University of Rostock - Javed Khan, Eindhoven University of Technology technotes2021(a)eics.acm.org Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between Tech Notes, Full Papers and Late-Breaking Results? EICS Tech Notes are not journal articles that describe the full cycle of a research project (concept, implementation, evaluation, reflection), but are focused technical engineering research contributions. Tech Notes do not require a formal evaluation nor an in-depth reflection on related work, but can focus on very specific implementation details that are novel and interesting to the EICS community. Thus, the reflection of the related work should target in clarifying the technical novelty of the Tech Note. EICS Tech Notes do not describe work-in-progress, as they require a novel technical contribution to be finalized and completely described within the space of the Tech Note. They are more similar to a traditional four-page note than to a work-in-progress extended abstract. Late-Breaking Results are intended for eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, that can benefit from discussions with colleagues in the EICS community. Why should I submit an EICS Tech Note? EICS Tech Notes aims to be the primary submission venue for impactful technical engineering work. EICS Tech Notes is a high-quality engineering venue that is complementary to the main research-oriented track at EICS. It shows new and exciting technical work of high relevance to the community. The best Tech Notes will be awarded with the Tech Note Award. EICS Tech Notes provides a platform to publish and present detailed technical engineering aspects of HCI research. We specifically encourage authors of previous papers to elaborate on technical challenges, technical innovations or frameworks / systems / approaches / toolkits / algorithms that enable them to conduct novel HCI research. How are EICS Tech Notes disseminated? EICS Tech Notes get a presentation slot at the conference and will be published as 6-page papers in the ACM Digital Library (excluding the reference list). How are EICS Tech Notes reviewed? EICS Tech Notes will be reviewed by an international committee of leading experts within the technical HCI, engineering and interactive systems communities. Because there is a difference in scope between tech notes, full papers, and late-breaking results, reviewers will use specific criteria to identify high-quality tech notes, including technical novelty, research impact, and the potential to enable new HCI innovations. -- [image: photo] Prof. Lucio Davide Spano Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica Università di Cagliari Via Ospedale 72, 09124, Cagliari, Italy Tel: +39 070 675 8760 | Skype: davide.spano5 Website <http://people.unica.it/davidespano> | RG <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Lucio_Spano> | ORCHID <https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7106-0463>

[Reminder] CfP Posters and Demos Track at ECSCW’21 (June 7-11, 2021) in Zurich, Switzerland

by Anton Fedosov

Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming ECSCW conference in the summer. There are still opportunities to contribute by submitting a short contribution (2000 words max) to the Posters and Demos track until February 22. The European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work is an international venue on practice-centered computing and the design of cooperation technologies. It is a series of conferences on computer-supported cooperative work located in Europe that was established in 1989. The 19th edition of ECSCW will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, from 7th to 11th June 2021. The presentation of posters and demos is a key element of the ECSCW conference. For presenters as well as recipients, the poster & demo session provides a lively environment for getting in touch with late-breaking research, preliminary results, innovative ideas, and early-stage research and design explorations. At a special session during the conference, authors are given the opportunity to showcase their research to interested delegates, as well as to involve them in discussions about their work, exchanging ideas, providing feedback, and sharing work-in-progress relating to CSCW. Posters provide a great opportunity to present preliminary research results and disseminate novel ideas to conference visitors. Posters also offer the space to discuss potential collaborations and the emergent issues in CSCW in an informal manner with the larger ECSCW community. We particularly invite submissions that introduce speculative or provocative ideas that challenge existing epistemologies and methodologies. Demos may be submitted in various forms. These may be interactive research prototypes or products, but also low-fi prototypes, such as paper mock-ups etc. In addition, the demo session will provide space for exhibiting innovative materials that have been developed in the context of the deployment of (user-centered) research methods – for example, innovations in storyboards, personas, and other materials that foster creativity in the design process. How to apply? Both submission categories (posters and demos) require the submission of a short paper (2000 words maximum excl. references, figures, and a 150-word max. abstract) in the PDF format through the EasyChair platform<https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ecscw2021#>. More details about the submission process (incl. templates) can be found at our website https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/posters-demos/ All accepted submissions will be published as short papers in the European Society for Embedded Technologies (EUSSET) digital library http://www.eusset.eu/digital-library Key dates Submission deadline: February, 22 2021, 23:59 AoE Notifications: March 31, 2021 Camera-ready submission: May 11, 2021 Conference: June 7-11, 2021 Attendance As of now, the conference is planned in Zurich, Switzerland from 7th until 11th of June 2021. The final format of the conference is currently under discussion. Remote participation will be possible.

INTERACT 2021 - Deadline extension for Workshop proposals - February 10th

by Davide Spano

Deadline for submitting Workshop proposals has been extended to February 10th. ----------------------- apologies for cross-posting ------------------------ INTERACT 2021 Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2021, Bari, Italy https://interact2021.org <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Finteract2…> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. INTERACT workshops provide a one-day or two-day forum for participants to compare their experiences and explore research issues or topics of special interest to the HCI community. Workshop proposal submissions are accepted via PCS by February 10th. Further information on the workshop proposals and workshop organization can be found on the INTERACT 2021 website: https://www.interact2021.org/tracks/workshops.php Workshops will take place on 30 and 31 August 2021, immediately preceding the main conference. 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.

Fifth International Summer School on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work

by De Angeli Antonella

Dear Colleagues, This may be an important opportunity for Phd students, post-doc, or early career researchers who have an interest in CSCW Antonella [Apologies for cross-posting] 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.

Hybrid International CHItaly 2021: 3rd Call for Workshop Proposals / 11–13 July 2021 / Bolzano, Italy

by chitaly2021

*Apologies for cross-posting/please share* ================================================ CHItaly 2021 - Frontiers of HCI CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS 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. ================================================ SPECIFICATIONS ================================================ Workshops in CHItaly are events which will open the main conference providing a physical and digital forum for discussion on new and emerging HCI topics, relevant for the theme of CHItaly 2021 (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/). All workshops will be half-day, and will be held in the morning of July 12th. Workshop proposals will be reviewed according to quality criteria, which consider the relevance of workshop proposals for CHItaly 2021, their potentials of gathering quality contributions, their review process. A paper describing each accepted workshop will undergo a quality check (so as to clarify the relevance of the workshop topic for the HCI community, the open challenges, the innovative aspects, the received contributions, etc.) before being accepted and included in the main conference Proceedings (submission deadline, format and requirements will be defined later). ================================================ STRUCTURE OF THE PROPOSAL ================================================ - Workshop title - Workshop acronym (if any) - Workshop edition and, if not on the first one, previous venues, number of attendees and links to the websites - List of organizers (with short bio) and main contact person - Motivation and objectives - List of topics - Target audience and expected number of attendees - Papers Review process (if any): the strategy used to collect contributions (such as online conference management systems or submitting by emails to the workshop chairs, etc.), minimum numbers of reviews,... Note that workshop organisers need to organise themselves how to collect and review papers/abstract/etc., and prepare a web page where the workshop will be advertised - Workshop setting (paper presentations, discussions, group works, …) - Dedicated proceedings (if any): type of paper, reviewing process, venue (Journal special issue, CEUR-WS, …) - PC tentative list ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ================================================ February 1, 2021 - Submission deadline February 15, 2021 - Review notification Deadlines are meant till 11.59 pm CET. ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS ================================================ Submission deadline: April 23th Notifications to contributors: May 14th Camera-ready/final version deadline: May 24th Workshops: July 12th Deadlines are meant till 11.59 pm CET. ================================================ SUBMISSION: HOW TO ================================================ Proposals should be submitted in PDF form (no specific template is required) at this address: workshops.chitaly2021(a)unibz.it ================================================ WORKSHOP CHAIRS ================================================ Barbara Rita Barricelli, Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy (barbara.barricelli(a)unibs.it) Catia Prandi, Università di Bologna, Italy (catia.prandi2(a)unibo.it) ================================================ CHITALY 2021 TRACKS ================================================= This year, CHItaly 2021 has several tracks, besides the track for workshops: long and short research papers, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/cfp.html interactive experience, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/interactive_experiences.html doctoral consortium, https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/dc.html
