CFP: CoPDA 2024 - 8th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age (co-located with AVI 2024)

by Antonio Piccinno

------------------- Call for Papers ------------------- CoPDA 2024 - 8th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: Differentiating and Deepening the Concept of "End User" in the Digital Age https://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda2024/ June 3rd or 4th, 2024 - Arenzano (Genoa), Italy In conjunction with AVI 2024 (https://avi2024.dibris.unige.it/home) ------------ Overview ------------ Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and meta-design challenge the understanding of the concept of “end user”. The 8th edition of this workshop aims to critically differentiate, dissect, and deepen the roles, experiences, and demands of end users by inviting contributions from different perspectives. The workshop invites contributions to explore the following fundamental issues: - Re-conceptualizing the multi-faceted roles that end users can play. - Investigating how end users are evolving into active participants in the design and development through frameworks (such as meta-design) that encourage creation, modification, and evolution in individual and group activities. - Understanding the skills and literacies (e.g., computational fluency) that end users need to acquire to be successful contributors (e.g., education, after-school clubs, etc.). - Envisioning future scenarios and possibilities for end user roles and experiences in the context of emerging technologies and cultural changes. - Understanding the design trade-offs associated with balancing the potential value of end-user contributions with the necessary effort to ensure that end users will be motivated to contribute over long periods of time. Participants from academia, industry, and user communities are invited to share their ideas, insights, and experiences to increase our collective understanding and approach towards end users in the digital age. Topics of discussion may include (but will not be limited to): - Analysis of the use and historical development of the concept of “end user” - Can meta-design frameworks facilitate and empower end users in becoming designers, shaping and adapting systems to their needs? - What are the major responsibilities for end users in "end-user development” and/versus "end-user software engineering"? - If computational fluency is widely achieved by humans in the digital age — how will this change the concept of "end user" and “learning with digital tools”? - How can the division between professional developers and end users be designed and supported as collaborative interactions rather than a rigid separation? - How do we scale up user participation from individuals to groups to communities? - In which contexts are end users the drivers of the innovation? - Which other frameworks and environments in AI exist in addition to Large Language Models (LLMs) for supporting end users? - How does the role of end users change in the era of LLMs? - Which additional learning demands occur that empower end users to assess LLM possibilities and limits? - Success stories and failures (e.g., empirical studies) involving or analyzing end users as active participants in sociotechnical systems in different domains (education, workplace, at home, leisure, etc.). ----------------- Submissions ---------------- Authors are invited to submit a 6-page position paper using the 1-column CEUR template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt The papers can be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=copda2024 All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee.

ACM UMAP 2024 - 2nd Call for Late-Breaking Results and Demos

by Wanling Cai

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * Online version: https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-lbr-and-demos/ ACM UMAP 2024 - Call for Late-Breaking Results and Demos ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy July 1-4, 2024 The 32nd International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2024) is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP 2024 is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI<https://sigchi.org/> and SIGWEB<https://www.sigweb.org/>. User Modeling Inc.<https://um.org/>, as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. ACM UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduct<https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment>. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library. ACM UMAP 2024 invites Late-Breaking Results (LBR) papers as well as Demonstrations (demos) of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes). The topics for these submissions are the same as the ones included in the Call for Full and Short Papers<https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-full-and-short-papers/>. However, their scope and timing is different. In particular, although short papers (from the main track) and the LBR papers of this call have the same maximum length, LBR papers are expected to present innovative ideas that are being explored and have already shown some promising results. It is also a dissemination channel for new research directions. Mature results which have already gone through experimental validation are more suitable for the general call, either as a full or short paper. Thus, rejected papers from the main track are not expected to be a valuable contribution as an LBR paper unless their contents are revised to address the scope of this track. Note also that LBR papers are to be presented physically during the conference in a poster format, allowing for more informal discussions on the ideas shared. Demos are intended to present systems that have been used to achieve the research outcomes presented as full and short papers. Thus, we highly recommend authors of accepted full and short papers to also prepare a submission for a demo of their system to be showcased at the conference in the LBR and Demo session. ** Important Dates ** * Submission: April 18, 2024 * Notification: May 9 2024 * Camera-ready Submission (TAPS system): May 16, 2024 * Conference: July 1 – 4, 2024 Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth)<https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe> time. ** Submission ** All submissions must be written in English. Papers should be submitted electronically, in a PDF format, through the EasyChair submission system, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap24, by selecting the “UMAP24 Late Breaking Results and Demo Papers” track ** Length and Formatting ** -- Late-Breaking Results Format -- * Page Limits. Up to 7 pages, plus up to 2 additional pages for references (figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit). * Proceedings. Publication in ACM UMAP 2024 adjunct proceedings. * Presentation. Physically presented as a poster during the conference. * Description. LBRs are research-in-progress that must contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of UMAP. In addition, papers introducing recently started research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well. We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit late-breaking work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. In case that papers rejected in the main track (i.e. submitted as full or short papers) are submitted to this track, they should be revised not only to take into account the comments made to help improve the paper, but to fulfill the scope of the LBR, which emphasizes novelty of ideas. This is also valid for papers that have been recommended as an LBR when rejected in the main track. -- Demos Format -- * Page Limits *. Up to 5 pages, plus up to 1 additional page for references (figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit). On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2024. * Supporting Material *. Video or external material demonstrating the system. * Proceedings *. Publication in ACM UMAP 2024 adjunct proceedings. * Presentation * . Physically presented as a demo plus as a poster during the conference. * Description *. Demos will showcase research prototypes and commercially available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference. Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase implementations and get valuable feedback from the community, especially for those papers that have been presented in the main track. Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how these will be demonstrated on-site as well as online. To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or YouTube) or any external material related to the demo (e.g., shared code on GitHub). *Non-Anonymity.* Submissions will be reviewed single-masked (i.e., authors’ names should be included in the papers) thus there is no need to be anonymized before submission. *Template for the Research Description.* Following the ACM Publication Workflow<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in the new ACM single-column format. Instructions for authors are given below: * LaTeX (use \documentclass[manuscript, review, anonymous]{acmart} in the sample-authordraft.tex file for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with LaTeX<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…>. * Overleaf (use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for single-column). Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Overleaf<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/overleaf>. * Word. Please carefully follow the ACM’s instructions for preparing your article with Microsoft Word<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-a…> Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com<mailto:acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com> for LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries. * Accessibility.* Authors are strongly encouraged to provide “alt text” (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author and it broadens the reader base for the author’s work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Additionally, authors should follow the ACM Accessibility Recommendations for Publishing in Color and SIG ACCESS guidelines on describing figures<https://authors.acm.org/journals/accessibility-recommendations-for-publishi…>. ** Review Process & Camera-ready Submission ** * Review * Submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall readability. Papers that exceed the page limits or do not adhere to the formatting guidelines will be returned without review. The ACM Code of Ethics<https://ethics.acm.org/> gives the UMAP program committee the right to (desk-)reject papers that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, employ unethical research practices, or uncritically present outcomes/implications that clearly disadvantage minority communities. Further, reviewers will be explicitly asked to consider whether the research was conducted in compliance with professional ethical standards and applicable regulatory guidelines. Failure to do so could lead to a (desk-)rejection. *Camera-ready Information.* Accepted papers will be subject to further revision to meet the requirements of the camera-ready format required by ACM. We strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX/Overleaf for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting. Users of the Word template must use either the version for Microsoft Word for Windows, Macintosh Office 2011, or Macintosh Office 2016 (other formats such as Open Office, etc., are not admitted) for the camera-ready submission to avoid incompatibility issues. Instructions for preparing the camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be provided after acceptance. This might include instructions to prepare a video of the accepted contribution. Camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be later submitted using ACM’s new production platform<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML output formats before publication. ** Registration and Presentation Policy ** Each accepted paper must be accompanied by a distinct full author registration, completed by the early registration date cut-off. Each accepted paper must be presented in person to be included in the conference adjunct proceedings, published by ACM and available via the ACM Digital Library. The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of UMAP 2024. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. During the conference, all categories will be presented at the poster reception, in the form of a poster and/or a software demonstration following poster format. This form of presentation will provide presenters with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the conference. *Grants and Support* To help students and early career researchers attend ACM UMAP 2024, we are able to provide several grants for participants at ACM UMAP 2024. * Category 1: Discounted Registration Rates * Category 2: Gary Marsden Travel Awards (GMTA) * Category 3: ACM UMAP 2024 Grants More information can be found in https://www.um.org/umap2024/grants-and-support/. Please refer to the website information, to learn the eligibility and application process for each category. ** Late-Breaking Results and Demos Chairs ** * Bamshad Mobasher, DePaul University, USA * Hanna Hauptmann, Utrecht University, Netherlands * Olga C. Santos, Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia (UNED), Spain Contact information: umap2024-lbr at um.org
