Human Work Interaction Design 2021 (HWID'21)
Artificial Intelligence and Designing for Positive Work Experiences in
Low Desire Society
Working Conference of the IFIP WG 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design
Beijing, China - May 15-16, 2021
http://www.hwid2021.com/
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the organizers are considering to
enable a remote partecipation modality. Rates and instructions will be
published later this year on the website.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In continuation with the series of the Human Work Interaction Design
(HWID) working conferences, this sixth edition's theme is Artificial
Intelligence and Designing for Positive Work Experiences in the ‘Low
Desire’ Society.
--- THEME, SCOPE, AND FOCUS
HWID has been endeavouring to enhance the positive work experiences at
workplaces by providing employees pleasurable and meaningful user
experiences via the tools used at work. HWID'21 directs attention to the
‘low desire’ phenomenon, which is that people have lower desire for
success, no ambitions, needs, or expectations, they push back against
working around the clock, avoid conflicts, yearn to be free of strong
feelings, and do not to take anyone or anything too seriously. HWID'21
attempts to look into the relationship between happiness and IT-enabled
overworking, the resulting work experiences, and how to provide
solutions from the perspective of Human Work Interaction Design.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making a difference to the workplace and
complicating the situation further. On one hand, AI replace human
workers by working faster with fewer errors than humans, which enable AI
to do many of the boring and redundant jobs. On the other hand, many
organisations are already beginning to use the AI as a design element to
enhance human intelligence, and design positive experiences in the
workplace. As a result, there are growing concerns that AI will take
away jobs from humans. The theme of HWID'21 emphasizes the insights into
the relationship between low desire and work experience, and how AI will
moderate their relationship because parts of the work might be taken
away by AI.
Examples of relevant questions include:
- Is the ‘low desire’ phenomenon making work less interesting?
- How to improve work experience supported by AI?
- How to support the symbiosis of human and AI in workplace through HWID?
- How to maintain work motivation?
- How to evaluate the impact of AI on work experience?
- How to address ethical factors (e.g. privacy, safety and equity) of
using AI in the workplace?
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 the
workplace. We will discuss tools, procedures, and professional
competences needed to face issues and opportunities provided by AI in a
Low Desire Society.

INTERACT 2021 -18th IFIP TC. 13 International Conference on
Human-Computer Interaction
Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2021, Bari, Italy
www.interact2021.org
Preliminary Call for Papers
--------------------------------------------------
INTERACT is the International Conference promoted by the IFIP Technical
Committee 13 on Human–Computer Interaction. INTERACT is held every two
years.
The theme of INTERACT 2021 “Sense, Feel, Design” highlights the 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 represents
the right venue to debate such new challenges.
Conference proceedings are published in Springer LNCS series, available
in the Springer Digital Library.
We invite you to submit your original work to INTERACT 2021 in the
following tracks:
Tracks with submission deadline January 27th, 2021
- Full Papers (abstract due by January 20th, 2021)
- Workshop proposals
Tracks with submission deadline April 16th, 2021
- Short Papers
- Posters
- Interactive Demos
- Industry Case Studies
- Courses
- Panels
- Doctoral Consortium
All contributions are peer reviewed, juried or curated by the members of
the international program committee. Papers accepted in all the tracks
will be published in the proceedings edited by Springer in the LNCS series.
A selection of papers accepted and presented in workshops organized by
the IFIP TC-13 Working Groups will be published as post proceedings in a
Springer LNCS volume.
Submission Information will be available at the Conference Website.

Probabilmente qualcuno di voi ha partecipato all'indagine e quindi spero
di farvi cosa gradita segnalandovi la pubblicazione del preprint
dedicato all'analisi condotta con i docenti delle università italiane
durante il periodo del lockdown, simile a quella che abbiamo pubblicato
qualche tempo fa dedicata alle scuole.
Nella seconda parte dell'articolo gli esiti delle due indagini vengono
messe a confronto ... e penso (spero) che tale comparazione possano
indurre a riflettere sulle necessarie azioni da intraprendere !

*** ACM IUI 2021: Call for Papers ***
* College Station, TX
* April 13-17, 2021
* http://iui.acm.org/2021/
* Contact: program2021(a)iui.acm.org
## IMPORTANT UPDATE
Please check the updated paper format and length restrictions for short

## Upcoming deadlines
Abstract: Oct 2, 2020 (compulsory)
Paper submission: Oct 9, 2020
## ACM IUI 2021
ACM IUI 2021 is the 26th annual premier international forum for reporting
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.
ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields
such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer
graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is on improving the
interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI
approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning,
natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and
reasoning.
### Why you should submit to ACM IUI
While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this
research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly
encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI
and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other,
but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that
contribute methodology or theory for the evaluation of intelligent user
interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect
papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions.
ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas—academia, industry,
government, and non-profit organizations—and gives its participants the
opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and
interactive setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and
lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among
attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers,
ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels
and a doctoral consortium for graduate students.
### COVID-19 statement
We are monitoring the situation regarding the global pandemic and
associated travel restrictions. If needed, we will offer a virtual
presentation option if the conference cannot take place due to the global
pandemic, or if registered authors from specific parts of the world cannot
attend the conference.
## Papers
We accept two forms of contributions: full and short papers. They should
both make novel contributions to IUI, however full papers should make more
substantial and significant contributions, while short papers can contain
more focused contributions.
Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation
indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be
invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM
Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS,
http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2021".

===========================================
*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The shock caused by the pandemic on learning processes all around the
world has no equal in the history of education. During previous
pandemics the application of the social distancing has already led to
the closure of schools but it was not possible to even imagine the
continuation of teaching activities as it is happening in the present
days, albeit within a virtual dimension.
On average, in less than two weeks after the lock down all the actors of
the educational processes - students, teachers and families - have been
forced to use technologies that many of them would have never considered
before as relevant for learning. In a short time, educational
technologies that have always struggled to establish themselves as a
significant support to the learning processes have become the standard.
A so abrupt transition from physical to virtual has contributed to
amplify the regret for the many opportunities lost in the past by
several national and supranational educational systems in supporting and
coordinating the development of technologies that could have generated a
significant impact on the learning ecosystems. At the same time it has
emerged the critical state of the tertiary education that has not been
able to renew in depth pedagogical and didactic approaches to educate
present and future teachers to significantly integrate technologies into
traditional educational processes. Nonetheless, thanks to the many
environments derived from the domain of the collaborative work, to the
vast plethora of apps considered in the past as niche products, to the
good will of many teachers, to a constant learning by doing (that in
many cases has become a continuous field experimentation) schools and
universities are accompanying their students towards the end of the
school/academic year.
This special issue aims at gathering the most significant studies and
experiences that have been carried on during the pandemic period to make
sure that at least a part of such body of knowledge will not be
completely lost. We need them, and we need to reflect on them, hoping
that they could guide us in the development of a new way of thinking
about learning ecosystems and, more in general, about educational processes.
-----------------------------------------------------------
*Topics of Interest*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue devoted
to 'Learning and learning ecosystems in the time of Covid-19' includes,
but is not limited to:
• Research and case studies on organizational aspects
• Research and case studies on didactic aspects
• Research and case studies on monitoring and evaluation aspects and
strategies

ACM IUI 2021 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS (deadline extended)
In conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Intelligent User
Interfaces (IUI 2021)
College Station, TX, USA
April 13 - 17, 2021
http://iui.acm.org/
IUI 2021 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a
venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an
informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Workshops
will be held on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions of
full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the
conference topics (or related). This year we are particularly interested
in workshops that have an interactive aspect.
Preference will be given to workshops with interactive and hands-on
sessions where participants can team up or work together towards the
common goal of the workshop. We encourage proposals for a wide range of
workshops, including but not limited to:
- "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their
own paper submission and review processes.
- "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter
review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).
- "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to
ask participants to submit a position statement.
- "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics
with individual or team participation.
== PROPOSAL FORMAT ==
Note: One of the keys to a successful workshop submission is to CONTACT
THE CHAIRS WITH YOUR IDEAS (workshops2021(a)iui.acm.org), and work together
to prepare an exciting proposal!
Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the standard
sigconf format, using one of the Interim ACM templates available at
http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html
Please submit your proposal via the PCS 2.0 submission system
(https://new.precisionconference.com).
The proposals should be organized as follows:
- Name and title: A one-word workshop acronym and a full title.
- Description of workshop topic and goal: This description should discuss
the relevance of the suggested topic to the IUI audience. Include a brief
discussion of why and for which audience the workshop is of particular
interest.
- Organizers: Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the workshop
organizers. This can be a single person or a group of people. Strong
proposals normally include organizers who bring differing perspectives on
the topic and are actively connected to the communities of potential
participants. Please indicate the primary contact person and the
organizers who plan to attend the workshop.
- Previous history: List of previous workshops that were held on the topic
including the conferences that hosted past workshops and the number of
participants. Also please provide the list of other workshops organized by
workshop organizers in the past.
- Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members of the
(tentative) workshop program committee that will evaluate the workshop
submissions.
- Participants: A statement saying how many participants you expect and
how you plan to invite participants for the workshop. We recommend the
proposal to include the names of at least 10 people who have expressed
interest to participate in, or contribute a paper to, the workshop.
- Workshop format: A brief description of the workshop format regarding
the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels,
demonstrations, and general discussion.
- Length: Full-day or half-day.
- Proposal format: Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and
follow the formatting instructions from (sigconf):
http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html
Additional guidelines:
----------------------
- Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chairs.
- Organizers: We strongly encourage all of the workshop organizers to
attend IUI and take part in their workshop. This can make the workshops
more appealing for the participants and strengthen the discussion part.
- Workshop summary: An extended abstract with a summary of the workshop
goals and an overview of the workshop topics will be included in the ACM
Digital Library for IUI 2021.
- Workshop proceedings: At the convenience of the workshop organizers, we
will arrange a joint volume of online proceedings for the workshop papers.
Workshops should request the authors to submit papers in the ACM SIGCHI
Paper Format.
- Cancellation: Workshops with few submissions by January 3 2021 may be
cancelled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise
restructured. This will be done in consultation between the IUI 2021
workshop chairs and the workshop organizers.
Additionally, we strongly encourage to have workshop organizers from
different institutions and research communities, bringing different
perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative
structure that attracts various types of contributions and ensures rich
interactions.
The organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for producing a call
for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to
relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to
potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop
organizers will maintain their own website with updated information about
the workshops and the IUI 2021 web site will refer to the workshop site.
The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation,
collection, and review process, and coordinate the production of the joint
online proceedings with IUI 2021 workshop chairs.
