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. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors are invited to submit 8-20 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.). The paper should be written according to the IxD&A authors' guidelines ->https://ixdea.org/authors-guidelines/ ========================================================== *Authors' guidelines* ---------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission page: -> link <https://www-2020.ixdea.uniroma2.it/ojs/ixdea/login> (Please upload all submissions using the Submission page.

36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2024): First Call for Workshop Proposals

by Announce

*** First Call for Workshop Proposals *** 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2024) June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/ (*** Submission Deadline: October 13, 2023 AoE ***) CAiSE is a well-established, highly visible conference series on Advanced Information Systems (IS) Engineering. It covers all relevant topics in the area, including methodologies and approaches for IS engineering, innovative platforms, architectures and technologies, and engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE conferences also have the tradition of hosting workshops in related fields. Workshops are intended to focus on particular topics and provide ample room for discussions of new ideas and developments. CAiSE 2024, the 36th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference, related to the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging topics and targeting innovative papers in special focus areas. Prospective workshop organisers should specify whether they plan an event with a presentation-oriented track, a discussion-oriented track, or both. Presentation-oriented track This track focuses on accepted papers with presentations followed by Q&A sessions, akin to conferences. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to be published in a joint volume in the Springer LNBIP series. Submissions must  conform to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP format and should  not exceed 12 pages. According to the Springer standards, the overall acceptance rate cannot exceed 45%-50%. Discussion-oriented track This track emphasizes discussions facilitated by paper presentations revolving around novel ideas and early-stage research. Since the main criterion for paper acceptance in such workshops is relevance and potential for raising discussion, they are not expected to have their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume. The edition of a joint proceedings volume next to the LNBIP one for the discussion-oriented track is underway. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Details on this aspect will be provided separately. Proposal submission Workshop proposals should be submitted via EasyChair at the following address:  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024  Please select the Author role and the CAiSE 2024 Workshops track. Prior contact with the workshop chairs (caise2024-workshops(a)easychair.org) is encouraged. The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshop, eliciting high-quality submissions, organizing the reviewing process of their workshop’s papers according to the principles and guidelines of CAiSE, and collecting camera-ready copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting rules). Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop. Detailed instructions for workshop proposers The proposal (up to 1000 words) should cover the following points: • Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (3-4 June 2024) • Workshop type (presentation-oriented or discussion-oriented, or both). • Information on the organizers (PC chairs, other organizers who will be present at the workshop or are otherwise involved, including the person responsible for web presence and communication). Please include names, addresses, and affiliations, indicating the main responsible person. The submission should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Please specify at least one PC chair. PC chairs will not be allowed to submit papers to the workshop, but other organizers (who will have no oversight over the review process) are encouraged to do so. • Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list the workshop topics. How does the focus of the workshop differ from the main conference? How does the focus of the workshop differ from other potential CAiSE events? (Proponents are advised to look at the workshops and working conferences held at CAiSE 2022 and CAiSE 2023 and differentiate your scope from theirs.) • Organization of the workshop: Specify the type of contributions, distribution into sessions, type of sessions, etc. Mention if you plan to have any keynote speaker (please note that the conference organization will not cover fees, travel expenses, accommodation and registration costs of keynote speakers). Include any special requirements regarding infrastructure and room layout. • Tentative list of PC members. • An estimate of the number of papers to be accepted, and the number of attendees. If applicable, short information on previous editions of the workshop series (this should include submission, acceptance, and attendance information). Short information on your plans for advertising your workshop and making it highly visible. Services provided by CAiSE • EasyChair installation for the management of the workshop submissions (each organizer will be made chair of their own workshop). • Publication of papers in an LNBIP volume for presentation-oriented tracks, and in a CEUR-WS.org online volume for discussion-oriented tracks. • One free workshop-only registration if more than 10 people are registered for the workshop. Organizers willing to attend the whole event (main conference) will have to register for the conference at their own expense. • Local organizational infrastructure and administrative support (registration, badges, refreshments, beamers, screens, etc.). In particular, all venue issues (rooms, meals and catering, social dinner, etc.) as well as the management of the registrations and the financing/administrative issues will be handled by the CAiSE Organization Board and are not under the responsibility of the workshop organizers. • Advertisement of the workshop on the CAiSE 2024 homepage and mailings.

CfP: QUARE 2023 The 2nd workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems, at RecSys '23

by Alessandro Piscopo

* We apologise if you receive multiple copies of this invitation * We welcome you to attend the 2nd Workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems, co-located with RecSys 2023 (https://recsys.acm.org/recsys23/), September 11, 2023, online. WHAT’S QUARE --------------------------------- We invite academics, industry practitioners, designers, developers, and policymakers in all relevant fields (CS, HCI/UX, social science, law) interested in discussing, getting acquainted with, and shaping the research agenda for the evaluation of explanations for recommender systems to participate in the QUARE workshop. The QUARE workshop will be organised as an interdisciplinary, discussion-centric event that aims to outline a research agenda for generating, evaluating, and operationalising explanations. By engaging and bringing together perspectives and solutions from industry and academia, the workshop will thus facilitate the exchange of various perspectives (technical, social, human factors) regarding the generation, evaluation, and operationalisation of explanations for recommender systems. The goal of the workshop is to shape, co-create, and share with the community a research agenda for evaluating the quality of recommendation explanations. More precisely, we address three main questions: * Generating explanations: How to balance user needs and organisational objectives when explaining recommendations? * Evaluating explanations: How to evaluate the quality of explanations through both subjective and objective measures? * Operationalising explanations: What could be a typical MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for explanations of recommendations? What are the most basic features we may need? You can find more information on the workshop’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2023 PROGRAMME --------------------- https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2023/schedule https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2023/panelists This workshop edition features three panel sessions, each panel addressing one of the questions mentioned above. Each session will be opened by a series of lightning talks by the panellists, followed by an interactive discussion, where participants will be able to discuss the topic of the session, asking questions to the panellists, sharing their experiences, and presenting their points of view. The workshop will start at 12:30 UTC and have a duration of approximately 5.5 hours. CONTACT --------------- Email us at quare-workshop at googlegroups.com if you would like to get more information about the workshop and details about how to attend.

[ACM MUM 2023 - Deadline Extended] Call for Full and Short Papers | Vienna, Austria, December 3-6 2023

by Amal Walied Abdelazeem Yassien

*** CALL FOR PAPERS - MUM 2023 *** *** DEADLINE EXTENDED *** Deadline for Full and Short Papers: 29th of August 2023, AoE * We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * *For the online version of this Call, please visit: https://mum-conf.org/2023/index.php?web=papers * * MUM 2023, the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia | Vienna, Austria, December 3-6, 2023 * MUM 2023, the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia, will be held in Vienna, Austria, December 3rd – 6th. MUM is an interdisciplinary forum for advances in research of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems, applications, and services. At MUM, academics and practitioners discuss challenges and achievements in this field from diverse perspectives, such as interaction techniques, user research, system development, software solutions, and devices. This edition of MUM aims to continue the tradition of innovation and excellence in research established by previous MUM conferences. * Submission Guidelines and List of Topics * We welcome submissions of high-quality papers that offer original and unpublished contributions relevant to mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Paper topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Paper topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Prototypes and systems tackling relevant technical challenges * Novel applications for mobile and ubiquitous gaming, learning, entertainment, social networking, and advertising * Augmented, mixed, and virtual reality systems and applications * Case studies, field trials, or user experience evaluations of new applications and services * Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services * Metrics and measures for evaluating and testing mobile and ubiquitous systems * Privacy and security-related challenges to multimedia systems * Social implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems * Interaction and collaboration with human-centered AI systems * Tools and development environments for building mobile, wearable, and ubiquitous multimedia systems * User interfaces, interaction design, and interaction techniques for mobile and ubiquitous systems * Interaction design for automotive and other modes of transportation * Fabrication and device prototyping Papers should be grounded in existing literature and knowledge, and should be written for an interdisciplinary audience. Papers must be submitted via EasyChair by August 29th, 2023, AoE at the latest. Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of the International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia, which will be available in the ACM Digital Library, where they will remain accessible to thousands of researchers and practitioners worldwide. The correct template for submissions is the ACM Primary Article Template in single-column format (in PDF format). Submissions should be prepared using either the single-column Word Submission Template or the single-column LaTeX template (using the “manuscript, review, anonymous” style available in the template). Submissions can be of variable length. Paper length must be based on the weight of the contribution, with 16 pages (excluding references) in single-column format being valued as long papers in past editions and 7 pages (excluding references) in single-column format being valued as short papers in past editions. * Successful submissions of around 16 pages typically represent significant empirical, theoretical, or methodological advances in the field. * Successful submissions of around 7 pages offer more focused contributions; they are not intended to be work-in-progress reports. Instead, they should offer complete, rigorously developed work with a solid contribution to the field. Short papers have a smaller scope or more focused contribution than long papers. Submissions should not have been previously published or be concurrently under submission. Papers must be anonymized. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind review process managed by the Program Chairs. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers, chosen from the pool of members of the Program Committee listed below. This pool of reviewers features experts from the previous edition and new researchers to address new emerging research areas and underrepresented communities. Papers will be assigned through a bidding process. Authors are encouraged to submit an optional video of a maximum of 6 minutes to support their submission. To ensure all reviewers can view videos, authors should use the H.264 encoding and the MP4 file format. The bit rate of videos can be lowered to accommodate the upload limits of EasyChair (max. 50 MB per file). Link to Submission System: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=mum20230 * Important Dates * Submission: August 29th, 2023 (AoE) Notification to authors: October 5th, 2023 Conference dates: December 3th - December 6th, 2023 * Technical Program Chairs * Pascal Knierim, University of Innsbruck Jonna Häkkilä, University of Lapland All questions about submissions should be emailed to: papers2023(a)mum-conf.org
