TLDR: The submission deadline has been extended to May 30th ------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- HCI-E2: Workshop on HCI Engineering Education http://ui-engineering.org/activities/hci-engineering-education-2023/ Submission website: https://ise.di.uminho.pt/hci-e2/openconf.php In conjunction with INTERACT 2023 York 28 August - 1 September 2023 https://interact2023.org ---------------- Overview ---------------- The workshop aims at carrying forward work on identifying, examining, structuring, and sharing educational resources and approaches to support the process of teaching/learning Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Engineering. The widening range of available interaction technologies and their applications in increasingly varied contexts (private or professional) underlines the importance of teaching HCI Engineering but also the difficulty of taking into account changes and developments in this field in often static university curricula. Besides, as these technologies are taught in diverse curricula (ranging from Human Factors and Psychology to hardcore Computer Science), we are interested in what the best approaches and best practices are to integrate HCI Engineering topics in the curricula of programs in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Human-computer Interaction, Psychology, Design, etc. ----------------- Scope ----------------- Engineering interactive systems is a multidisciplinary endeavour positioned at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Software Engineering, Usability Engineering, Interaction Design, Visual Design, and other disciplines. The Human-Computer Interaction Engineering (HCI-E) field is concerned with providing methods, techniques, and tools for the systematic and effective design, development, testing, evaluation, and deployment of interactive systems in a wide range of application domains. HCI techniques, methods and tools, as well as many other novel forms of interaction, involve aspects that need to be adequately addressed in the curricula of programs in HCI, Software Engineering and Computer Science. This begs the question of how best to address these topics in those curricula, and what the best approaches to address them are. When considering education about HCI Engineering, we need to think about who is being educated as there is likely to be different curriculum scope and educational methods for different types of learners. There are two main distinctions likely influencing these methods: - Technical vs non-technical. Students in Computer Science and similar areas are likely to be the main consumers of detailed HCI-E education. However, the creation of interactive applications “requires input from science, engineering and design disciplines” and multidisciplinary teamwork requires from participants an increased understanding and appreciation for other disciplines. It is also important for those who are likely to have a more interface design or user research role to able to appreciate the limits of technology and the potential impacts of architectural design choices. - Student vs practitioner. It is likely that the primary interest of many participants will be university education. However, developers are often involved in lively online discussions about different frameworks, and even in the use of monads in interactive JavaScript. Interaction Design Foundation courses attract tens of thousands of UX practitioners worldwide, evidencing the desire of on-the-job learning in both communities. ----------------- Audience ----------------- We would like to bring together experiences from people teaching HCI concepts impacting how we engineer interactive systems and from people working in HCI-E to identify topics and methods that should be included in teaching this subject. Besides the courses in HCI-E, interesting inputs may arrive from HCI courses outside the CS curriculum requiring to communicate engineering challenges, or from more general software engineering courses discussing aspects related to human factors. Hence, we will solicit contributions from the HCI-E-related communities, and we will be very interested in welcoming members of the educational community, for a fruitful discussion. ----------------- Goals ----------------- We identify two types of potential outcomes that could define the group activities during the workshop: Educational resources – One goal is to create a repository of educational resources for HCI-E including cases studies, projects and exercises. These educational resources need to be described in a common structure. The definition of this structure was started at the previous workshop. A goal of the workshop will be to extend and consolidate this structure as well as to describe these resources according to this structure. HCI-E Education Roadmap – Edited volume: Depending on the quality of the submissions and the workshop results, revised versions of the contributions will be published on an edited volume. Alternatively, we will produce a journal paper summarizing and consolidating the contributions, in the form of an HCI Engineering Education roadmap. ----------------- Submissions ----------------- Position papers (6-10 pages in Springer format) must report experiences related to HCI Engineering education. Submissions could report software engineering units including some aspects of HCI-E, curricula or teaching units dedicated to HCI-E, case studies/projects demonstrating aspects of HCI-E, evaluation of students’ skills related to HCI-E, training non-technical and mixed students in HCI-E, training appropriate aspects of HCI-E to professionals/practitioners, a new teaching modality promising for teaching HCI-E, introducing HCI-E into existing curricula, etc. Authors could also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and their motivation to participate in this workshop. ----------------- Important Dates ----------------- Submission deadline: May 30th, 2023 Notification deadline: June 15th, 2023 Workshop: August Monday 28th or Tuesday 29th Deadlines are AoE. ----------------- Organizers ----------------- José C.

These technologies—mobile computing, AR and VR, interactive IoTs, tangible interfaces, and responsive architectures—are increasingly shaping our daily experiences in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and cities. We call these physical-digital spaces Hybrid Environments . As these technologies continue to transform the way we live, many new opportunities emerge for design education and practice. Within higher education, more and more programs aim to cross-train designers, architects, creative technologists, and artists to operate in these emerging terrains. This is a complex pedagogical practice. Designing for Hybrid Environments requires knowledge and training in the design of both physical environments and interactive technologies. Solutions cut across, and often operate at multiple, scales: from the object to the room, from the neighborhood to the city. Consequently, the design of good physical-digital spaces must often bridge fundamental knowledge in design, architecture, art, interactivity, and computation. How are we meeting this emergent need? How do we educate cross-trained students to creatively respond and adapt to these complex design spaces? In this special issue, we invite design educators to share their pedagogies, frameworks, and tools for crafting next-generation physical-digital spaces. We hope to gather, reflect, and share valuable examples and instructional practices so that we might learn from one another and critically examine how to teach students to design Hybrid Environments. Ultimately, we seek to form a common understanding and begin building the foundations for design education in this emerging field. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue devoted to Design Education for Hybrid Environments includes, but is not limited to: • Teaching for and within VR, AR, and XR technologies. • Teaching for interactive IoT, spatial computing, ambient media, and responsive architecture. • CAD and CAM tools to help conceive, represent, prototype, and test Hybrid Environments. • Theoretical frameworks and representational techniques to navigating scales of design —from the object to the room, from the neighborhood to the city. • Cognitive approaches to explain and study reasoning, conceiving, and building Hybrid Environments. • Post-Pandemic Hybrid Environments, including telepresence, distributed spaces, and the temporality of experience. • Assessment and performance methods, including pilot studies, curricula, or cases of evaluating Hybrid Environments design and instruction. • Instructional experiences resilient to rapid change in technology infrastructures and toolsets. • Research methods supporting the design process and evaluation of Hybrid Environments. =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication.

An assumption that implies a confrontation between AI, Human-Centered AI and HCD and a reflection on the role of HCD in the AI age. The issue, thus, is not intended to be focalized on the design of user interfaces of systems containing embedded AI features, per se; rather, it is expected to be grounded in research activities involving a broad spectrum of academic disciplines – from computer science to social science – that will critically analyze the interplay between AI, Human-Centered AI and HCD, in order to investigate the impact on individuals, social groups, and society as a whole. In particular this special issue wish to explore the relationship between AI, aimed at replacing human beings, and Intelligence Augmentation (IA), focused on empowering human beings in their daily life and work. Balancing between these two perspectives means changing the research paradigm from traditional human-computer interaction, to designing the collaboration between humans and computers. This will foster creativity, meaningful work, intersubjectivity, and learning, and eventually improve the quality of life of individuals. However, a variety of issues and ethical problems need to be addressed in this new age – e.g., privacy intrusions, massive unemployment, knowledge and competence loss, lack of control, autonomous weapons, new research methods, etc. The guest editors encourage researchers to submit articles that will consider these aspects. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Topics of interest for this special issue include, but not limited to: * AI and Human control: privacy and ethical issues * AI support in everyday work * Collaborative human-centered design * End-User Development for AI-based systems * Empirical evaluation of AI-based systems * Explainable AI through meta design * Human-centred AI * Learning analytics for teachers participation and learning effectiveness * Research methods in Human-Centered AI and Design =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication.

HCSE@INTERACT 2023 Workshop - Call for Papers (Submissions due: May 30)

by Stefan Sauer

***** *Workshop date confirmed for August 29, 2023 ***** * * * **** Submission deadline extended to May 30, 2023 **** _Attending the HCSE@INTERACT 2023 workshop does not require paper submission/acceptance!_ If you only want to participate or present your work without submitting a paper, please contact the organizers! * * *(Apologies if you receive multiple e-mails on this subject via different channels!)* https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023 *Call for Papers* HCSE@INTERACT 2023 International Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering Rethinking the Interplay of Human–Computer Interaction and Software Engineering in the Age of Digital Transformation organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 onMethodologies for User-Centered Systems Design atINTERACT 2023 <https://interact2023.org/> The 19th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction August 29, 2023 York, United Kingdom Theme The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by a process of technological transformation that is affecting the social structure across the globe. It has changed the way of shopping, of relating to others, of living. At the core of the process are technologies that generate important cultural impacts in our lives. In Europe, this process is differently named, depending on the different countries: digitisation, digital transformation, digital transition, etc. Here we call it digital transformation, but no matter how you name it, it has in fact revolutionized every market and company, as well as our life. We follow the definition by Gong & Ribiere (2020) that states that Digital transformation is “A fundamental change process, enabled by the innovative use of digital technologies accompanied by the strategic leverage of key resources and capabilities, aiming to radically improve an entity* and redefine its value proposition for its stakeholders.” (*An entity could be: an organization, a business network, an industry, or society.). Various technologies enable the digital transformation process: mobile and wearable devices, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain, Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Digital Twin, Cybersecurity. However, while introducing undeniable benefits, they also bring some important issues. This workshop is looking for contributions from various fields, with a focus on: * the domain of Internet of Things (IoT) and IoT devices that are becoming more pervasive and social * IoT also introduces issues from the cybersecurity perspective * The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on human lives and the economywith the problem thatthe required computing power is high, there are worriesof how AI models predict the output, data privacy and securityetc * Digital Twin (DT) is another protagonist of the digital transformation process. It is a virtual replica of a real-world object that is run in a simulation environment to mirror its physical pendant, with digital and physical twins influencing each other including the ability to perform predictions. * benefits and issues of other technologies: usability of mobile and wearable devices, as well as of Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality; user awareness about the usage and the security of Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain. What emerges is that Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) is more relevant than ever. The interplay between Human–Computer Interaction and Software Engineering needs to be rethought and fortified for a rapid response to the evolution of technologies, while also considering aspects such as greater agility in service development, sustainability, ethical considerations, cybersecurity, user mindset and awareness, to name just a few. But also the approaches for addressing them have to be carefully considered. For example, some software development companies show an increasing interest in low-code development platforms to facilitate application development by domain experts without sophisticated software development knowledge, as a possible solution to the need of more agile, fast and also sustainable service development. Domain experts are, however, not trained in software development methods. This introduces a risk of domain experts creating unusable applications or exceeding the designated time frame of a project (or both). <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.kzuma82xxlaf> Objective In this workshop, we aim to broaden the traditional scope of the workshop series of IFIP Working Group 13.2beyond the traditional themes of IFIP 13.2 workshops. Particularly, this edition promotes sharing of knowledge and experiences that address how to deal with the challenges of the digital transformation and its influence on human-centered socio-technical system design and development practices. This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized atINTERACT 2015 in Bamberg, Germany <https://www.irit.fr/recherches/ICS/events/conferences/workshop-IFIPWG13.2-B…>,INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India <http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>,INTERACT 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifip-wg-13-2-workshop-interact/home>, andINTERACT 2021 in Bari, Italy <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/>. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_iJ1JDR1kenC0> Target Audience and Expected Outcomes This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human–computer interaction from a user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this workshop focus on methods, processes and approaches for designing, building and testing interactive systems. We expect a high participation of IFIP Working Group 13.2 members. We particularly invite participants to present position papers describing real-life case studies that illustrate how they rethought HCI’s and SE’s interplay in order to address aspects such as agile development, sustainability, ethical considerations, and cybersecurity. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface design are welcome. We are especially interested in work that deals with current trends that change the way humans use, interact and collaborate with technical components in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and tools that combine human-centered design and software engineering practices. Position papers will be made available through the workshop website. Furthermore, an extended version of selected papers will be considered for inclusion in a Springer LNCS post-proceedings volume published in conjunction with the other INTERACT workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_OX43lXt1eneG> Workshop Format This full-day workshopisin person only. Itisorganized around presentation of position papers and working activities in small groups. From the set of contributions, a subset of selected case studies will be invited to be presented at the beginning of the workshop and will be used to support the discussion that follows. The morning session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and presenting case studies. Participants will be invited to comment on the case studies and to report similar experiences. The afternoon sessions will be devoted to interactive sessions, where participants will be engaged to work in small groups and propose solutions to the problems of the case st udies seen in the morning. Solutions proposed by the participants will be compiled and compared. Based on the lessons learned, participants will be incited to draft an agenda of future work that can be accomplished. We plan to run the workshoponsite in person only. If circumstances require it, we intend to switch to a completely digital format that will be run online. We will continuously adapt to any decision regarding the conference format by the INTERACT 2023 organizers. <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2023#h.p_ID_80> Submission Instructions In order to attend the workshop, participants are invited to submit position papers reporting original academic or industrial research relevant to the workshop's theme.

This workshop aims to (a) investigate processes and methods for creating sustainable designs and workplaces, (b) collect case studies that analyze experiences with introducing and learning from sustainability at work, and (c) formulate a research agenda for future work on sustainable human-work interaction designs. -------------------------------------------------------------- Participants are asked to submit a position paper describing work on processes, methods, or results and evaluation of these to support (but not limited to): - Digital sobriety - Green IT - Slow design, craft design - Sustainable digitalization - Users' experience in sustainable environment - Engagement in environmental behavior - System-organization fit, organizational implementation, or benefits realization -------------------------------------------------------------- Participation and submission: Papers must be two- to four-page position paper formatted according to the INTERACT proceedings format (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). We encourage both senior and early-stage researchers to submit position papers describing work in progress or completed research. Position papers must be submitted in PDF format (non-anonymized) in EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=shwid2023. Submissions will be reviewed by two reviewers based on relevance, originality, significance, and quality. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted position paper must attend the workshop. In agreement with the authors, revised version of accepted position papers will be published in INTERACT Workshop Proceedings volume. -------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates: Paper submission deadline: May 16th, 2023 (extended) Paper notification of acceptance: May 29th, 2023 -------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop organizers: - Elodie Bouzekri (contact: elodie.bouzekri(a)estia.fr<mailto:elodie.bouzekri@estia.fr>) - Barbara Rita Barricelli - Torkil Clemmensen - Morten Hertzum - Masoodian Masood

Call for Proposal - ACM CSCW 2023 Special Interest Groups (SIG)

by Sayan Sarcar

[Apologies for the cross-posting] Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) 2023—for the first time—will offer Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as another way for people from diverse backgrounds and interests to join together around shared research initiatives. SIGs enable conference attendees to meet informally about a common interest, which may include specific technologies, societal concerns, curious human behaviors or any other topic where there has been or could be CSCW research. A SIG can be an excellent space for dialog and may incorporate novel facilitation strategies, from group discussion to collective storytelling, roleplay, and even sketching activities to help SIG participants creatively engage with a topic. While CSCW 2023 will be a hybrid conference from October 16-18, the SIG sessions will all be facilitated in-person in Minnesota, USA. Submission Details SIG proposals must be submitted via the PCS system as a single PDF by May 11, 2023. Each submission must include a SIG Proposal (5-pages) as well as Supplementary Materials describing the facilitation strategy and requirements for the in-person session at the conference (2-pages). Accepted proposals will be published as Extended Abstracts in the Conference Proceedings. During the conference, CSCW will provide each SIG with a meeting space for 75-minutes and will help to advertise the meetings in various ways. - Online submission: PCS Submission System - Template: ACM Master Article Submission Templates (single column) - Submission format: A proposal including references (maximum 5-pages) and mandatory supplementary material describing the SIG (2-pages). - Selection Process: Juried How have other academic communities engaged with the topic of your SIG? The SIG Proposal (5-pages) should clearly articulate a compelling reason for the SIG. Authors are strongly encouraged to describe the topic in a maximum of 20 primary references with approximately half of the references coming from ACM publications and the other half from sources beyond the ACM. This is not a hard rule as much as it is a challenge to seek out interdisciplinary opportunities for collaboration. Develop the proposal collaboratively with a group of people. While not strictly required, we prefer that proposals be authored by a minimum of two individuals representing at least two different organizations or communities. Clearly describe the activities you would like to facilitate during your SIG. The Supplementary Material (also mandatory) using the same template should be no more than 2-pages in length. Accepted SIGs will have a scheduled, 75-minute long session at the conference. After your SIG is accepted, we will notify you what technical support will be available. Rooms will be set up to facilitate discussion. The following details about the SIG session should be included in the Supplementary Material: (1) A brief description of the community (or communities) to which this SIG would be of interest and why it is of interest, (2) assumed attendee background, (3) the approach you will use for organizing and presenting the SIG, (4) an informal schedule of discussion topics, (5) your plan to attract a reasonable number of attendees, and (6) which organizer should serve as the primary contact. As you develop a plan for your SIG proposal, please pay attention to accessibility considerations. Follow recommendations found in the Guide to an Accessible Submission <https://sigchi.org/conferences/author-resources/accessibility-guide/>. If you have any questions or concerns about creating accessible submissions, please contact the Accessibility Chairs at accessibility2023(a)cscw.acm.org <accessibility(a)chi2023.acm.org>. All deadlines are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time - Deadline for submissions due: Thursday, May 11, 2023 - Notification of acceptance: Thursday, June 15, 2023 Selection process Although the process is highly selective, it does not necessarily follow a reviewing process by a committee, and authors should not expect to receive formal feedback on their submission other than the selection decision. Specifically, we will consider the following criteria: 1. Appeal to the community: Is the topic both timely and of wide enough appeal to attract a significant audience? At the same time, is the topic sufficiently focused to allow for productive discussion during the SIG meeting? Too narrow, and the SIG might attract too few people; too broad, and it is difficult for progress to be made in the relatively short duration of a SIG. 2. Format: Is the proposed format conducive to discussion and shared insight? Will it be possible to achieve its aims? SIGs are not workshops, nor project showcases, nor tutorials. 3. Diversity of perspective: It helps to be able to show that the SIG will be able to encompass a wide perspective, and that the organizers can accommodate and facilitate discussion across this breadth. Places to show this are in the description of the intended community, the assumed attendee background, and the home institutions and disciplines of the organizers. 4. Continuity: Does the SIG support the development of a longer term interest group, for example follow-on SIGs or other types of contributions at subsequent CSCW and other conferences? If the topic is a very recent or new one, or a revival of an old topic, then arguments will need to be made, to demonstrate that it is a topic that will persist, rather than simply being this year’s fashion. If the topic is a continuation of previous SIG(s), then it is necessary to present the latest developments of the topic and their projection into the future. 5. Anonymity: Submissions should not contain sensitive, private, or proprietary information that cannot be disclosed at publication time. Submissions should NOT be anonymous. However, confidentiality of submissions will be maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until the start of the conference, with the exception of title and author information which will be published on the website prior to the conference. Upon Acceptance of Your Submission The corresponding author of a conditionally accepted paper has to follow the instructions on preparing and submitting a final version by the Publication-Ready Deadline. If the authors cannot meet these requirements by the Publication-Ready deadline, the venue chairs will be notified and may be required to remove the paper from the program. The publication-ready version has to follow the LaTeX and Word templates from ACM. Should you need technical assistance, please direct your technical query to: pubs2023(a)cscw.acm.org. For more details, check the website: https://cscw.acm.org/2023/index.php/submit-sig/ Thanks for your time and we hope to see you at CSCW 2023! Best, Brian McInnis and Sayan Sarcar sigs2023(a)cscw.acm.org
