Dear colleagues, there is still time to submit posters and demos to HCSE 2020, the 8th International Working Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering. Please see the *CfP* below for details and visit the conference *website* for further and updated information. http://hcse-conference.org/ Following current regulations in the Netherlands, the conference is still planned to be held physically in Eindhoven, November 30th to December 2nd, 2020. We are looking forward to meeting you at TU/e in Eindhoven for HCSE 2020. Please stay well and healthy! Best wishes, Regina Bernhaupt - Carmelo Ardito - Stefan Sauer General Organizers of HCSE 2020 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *HCSE 2020* *Call for Papers* *8th International Working Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering* *November 30th - December 2nd, 2020 - Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands* http://www.hcse-conference.org <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hcse-c…> *HCSE*is a bi-annual, single-track, working conference organized by the IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodology for User-Centred System Design <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fifip-tc13.…>in cooperation with IFIP Working Group 13.5 on Human Error, Resilience, Reliability, Safety and System Development <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fifip-tc13.…>. We aim at *bringing together researchers and practitioners* interested in strengthening the scientific foundations of user interface design, examining the relationship between software engineering and human-computer interaction and on how to strengthen human-centered design as an essential part of software engineering processes. Other topics of interest include: ●contributions to the theory and best practices of user-centered design ●design and architectural patterns for interactive systems ●involvement of end-users, clients and stakeholders in the development process of interactive systems ●innovative methods for identifying end-user requirements for interactive systems ●integration of user experience (and any other user interface property) in development processes ●methods for designing, building and assessing interactive systems beyond the desktop (e.g. the living room, ubiquitous and multi-display, cockpits, etc.) ●models and model-based approaches for building interactive systems ●integration of multiple properties (e.g. usability, security, reliability, user experience, privacy, accessibility, etc.) in software development ●socio-technical aspects of interactive software development ●software architectures for interactive systems ●rational design and traceability of design choices. HCSE 2020 welcomes contribution as *technical full papers, late breaking results, demonstrations and posters*. All papers are peer-reviewed and selected contributions will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the *LNCS* series. In the present edition of *HCSE 2020* we are particularly interested in studies focused on *multi-stakeholder* concepts and how to cope with multi-stakeholders taking into account not only micro perspective but on the systemic change level. As in past editions, the focus of the working group is on *user interface properties *(such as usability, ux, privacy, trust, security, reliability, adaptability, among other) and how to design, develop and evaluate based on a *user-centered development process*. We are interested in understanding how different stakeholders and developers value diverse user interface properties and how they manage conflicts between them (when one property might degrade the value of another) on a systemic change level. Our aim is to cover a large set of user interface properties and try to reveal their inner dependencies. We are particularly interested in the development of theories, methods, tools and approaches for dealing with multiple properties that should be taken into account when developing interactive systems. *HCSE*welcomes the following types of contributions: ** ●Technical full papers(up to 20 pages - *SUBMISSION CLOSED*) should describe substantial research contributions of novel work that has produced advanced results including validation of results. ●Late-breaking results(up to 12 pages -*SUBMISSION CLOSED*) are short papers that present work in progress, new practice and experience reports containing good (and bad) practices and/or recent practical evaluations of methods, techniques and tools. ●*Demonstrations and posters*(*5–8 pages, plus poster design draft*) should present ongoing work and/or late-breaking results related to the use of innovative tools and cutting-edge systems not described in other paper submissions. Demonstration papers should provide description of tools including user tasks and evidence of use to end-users. Demo submissions should summarize the system’s significance and its performance and should either include screenshots or link to an online-accessible resource. The poster design draft should show the planned design and content of the poster that will be presented at the conference. Industry contributions to demos and posters are particularly welcome and highly encouraged. *Submissions and Reviewing Process* Contributions should be sent via *EasyChair* (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcse2020 <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair…>). All submissions will be peer-reviewed for their topical relevance, originality, technical contribution, and presentation quality by the members of the international program committee. Technical full papers and late-breaking results short papers will be reviewed *double-blind*, demonstrations and posters *single-blind*. Authors must prepare their submission files accordingly! For poster submissions, both paper and poster design draft will be assessed for review. It will be possible for the program committee to suggest accepting submissions in other than their original submission categories. *Presentations* All accepted submissions will be presented at the conference in technical sessions. It will be possible for authors of accepted technical full papers and late-breaking results short papers to give tool demos as well without submitting additional demo papers. *Proceedings* Accepted contributions must be formatted according to the guidelines of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spring…>series of Springer.

Reminder CfP: The online NordiCHI 2020 workshop on “Sharing & Cooperativism: Designing for Economies”

by Anton Fedosov

Dear colleagues, A gentle reminder to consider contributing to our online multi-disciplinary workshop on sharing and cooperativism. We invite scholars and practitioners with a background in design, computing, economics, sociology, anthropology, and beyond to submit a lightweight position paper/case study/design portfolio (1-4 pages) in relation to one of the workshop's themes (the CfP is below) within September 1, 2020. The workshop will be held online. The online NordiCHI 2020 workshop “Sharing & Cooperativism: Designing for Economies” aims to bring together practitioners and scholars working at the intersection of sharing, cooperativism, and design. By turning to sharing and cooperativism, we imagine building systems in relation to the wider social and political structures surrounding these concepts. Yet, in sharing and cooperativism, less emphasis is given to the possibilities that design can bring to the emerging interactions at the intersections of social, cultural, and economic issues. A progressive approach is needed to uncover the relationship of sharing and cooperativism to new design paradigms that allows us to move towards an alternative understanding of economies through design. Our aim is to ground this discussion through a design workshop that is well-aligned with the historical, political, and economic infrastructures in order to shape the relationship of design and economics in the context of sharing and cooperativism. We call for participants from diverse backgrounds to contribute to a critical discussion at the intersection of design, sharing, cooperativism, and economics on the workshop's thematic areas: (i) Local relational assets in sharing; (ii) Global sharing cultures; (iii) Design beyond markets for sharing and cooperativism. More details: https://sharingcoopnordichi2020.wordpress.com/theme HOW TO APPLY? To apply, please submit a short position paper (1-4 pages) in relation to one of the workshop's themes within September 1, 2020, by emailing it to sharingcoopnordichi2020(a)gmail.com<mailto:sharingcoopnordichi2020@gmail.com>. To promote broader participation from design practitioners, and community activists, we offer the option of submitting alternative material in the form of a design portfolio, a short manifesto, or the like. KEY DATES Submission Deadline: September 1, 2020, 5pm PDT Notification: September 8, 2020 Workshop: October 25/26, 2020 Location: Online (the participation instructions will be communicated in October) ATTENDANCE Stemming from the NordiCHI steering committee decision, the workshop will take place online. The workshop organizers will arrange a virtual program for up to twenty participants.

These interactions are commonly enabled through sensors to implicitly automate manual processes, such as turning on lights or walking up stairs. However, cities were not necessarily built from the ground up to be smart, rather they are gradually becoming smarter over time as technology becomes more extensible and embedded within them. These digital technologies create information layers that exist over the physical space, resulting in the space being filled with dynamically changing information, thus augmenting the space. Augmented reality (AR) is one such technology that has recently seen a lot of development in this area and is only now starting to become more viable as hardware and computer vision algorithms have caught up. Films such as Minority Report (2002), Ghost in the Shell (2016), and Blade Runner (2017) have predicted AR’s future emergence in public spaces and cities. These films featured AR advertising and information holograms in public spaces, enabled by smart contact lenses and holograms. Currently however, AR has been introduced to public spaces in a number of interesting ways. For instance, Pokemon GO became a global phenomenon which resulted in people physically playing the game in urban spaces and caused ripple effects on the physical spaces people were playing in. Recent work has also shown that AR can have more engaging applications, in areas such as community engagement, personalised digital signage, in-situ visualisations, cultural heritage, and remote collaboration. On a consumer level, AR is most common on smartphones, particularly after the release of ARKit and ARCore - improving the functionality. AR smart glasses are also becoming more accessible and bring with them the possibility of more natural integration of virtual content into our daily lives. For instance, the Microsoft Hololens contains an array of sensor technologies giving it a sense of depth which allows it to place objects naturally in physical space. It has been successfully applied by planners to visualise underlying parts of the city in-situ. While AR is becoming more advanced, accessible, and has demonstrated potential, more knowledge is needed around the key benefits it will bring to cities and how it will change our interactions with the urban environment. Additionally, the use of such technologies raises the question of how the virtual and physical spaces can co-exist - creating an augmented space. Therefore, this focus section builds on from our initial workshops with the goal of bringing together researchers to explore the applications of AR and other immersive technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR), within the context of enhancing architecture, public spaces and cities. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- We welcome research focused on engaging experiences using augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) within the context of enhancing architecture, public spaces and cities. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: Augmenting humans in future cities Digital heritage and preservation Speculative designs, design fictions, and art projects Perspectives from literature How immersive technologies and applications can be utilised to enhance existing urban infrastructure/technologies (public displays, media facades, buildings, town squares, etc) Remote collaboration The effect of immersive technologies on culture and behaviour in cities Smart cities with digital twin technologies =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication.

################################################################################ 7th International Conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2020) Paris, France. December 14-16, 2020 (Pending Technical Co-Sponsorship by IEEE) ################################################################################ URL: https://emergingtechnet.org/IOTSMS2020/ IMPORTANT DATES * Submission Date: *20 August 2020* *(extended)* * Notification to Authors: 10 October 2020 * Camera Ready Submission: 1 November 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The international conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends.
