*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The guest editors are proud to invite and welcome contributions from
researchers and practitioners from all over the world involved in the
development of Smart Learning Ecosystems and Smart Education, as engines
of social innovation and territorial development. At the core, the
adjective “smart” comprises terms like intelligent, purpose oriented,
supportive, artful, clever and the like. Thus, smart does not
necessarily include the usage of technology (neither does it exclude
technology!).
After the shock of the pandemic, learning ecosystems – and in particular
schools, universities, and territorial learning communities – all over
the world – are facing a new phase characterized by the search for and
the experimentation of ways to their “new normality“. In such a context,
collaboration is emerging as an approach and an attitude of considerable
relevance that stays also at the basis of the polyphonic construction of
the future of learning ecosystems. Alongside collaboration, on the
technological side, it continues to rise the relevance of intelligent
systems, generically collected under the label of Artificial
Intelligence (AI); concurrently, on the pedagogical side, competences
have become the goal of future education, also in the attempt to close
the skill gap, which represents one of the greatest dangers for the
transition towards smarter productive systems and societies. Competences
and AI, by the way, are also topics that intersect and influence each
other and rise questions of ethical nature.
So, what should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How “smart
learning ecosystems” are changing? How such changes may be related to
the achievement of “a better learning for a better world” as a
contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)? How will they contribute to the reduction of
inequalities and, at the same time, to the empowering of each individual
according to his expectations and talents?
This special issue, which is supported by the Association for Smart
Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development (ASLERD), welcomes papers
that report on work aimed to contribute to the discussion about these
issues.
Submission of substantially extended version of the papers presented at
SLERD 2022, are welcome.

*** Second Call for Workshops and Minisymposia ***
29th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing
(Euro-Par 2023)
August 28 - September 1, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus
http://2023.euro-par.org
SCOPE
Euro-Par is the prime European conference covering all aspects of parallel and distributed
processing, ranging from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed
systems and infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to applications, from
architecture, compiler, language and interface design and implementation, to tools, support
infrastructures, and application performance aspects. To provide a meeting point for
researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas and hot topics related to parallel and
distributed computing and their applications, Euro-Par 2023 will co-locate workshops and, for
the first time, minisymposia with the main conference. This is an invitation to send proposals
for the workshop and, for the first time, a minisymposium program. Both workshops and
minisymposia will be held on August 28 - August 29, 2023, the first two days of the
conference.
WORKSHOPS
Workshop Proposal Guidelines
The proposals should include the following information:
• Workshop title and acronym, preference for length (half or full-day)
• Information of the organizers, including a short biography of each organizer (5-10 lines).
Each workshop will have a single main organizer, the corresponding contact. Others can be
co-organizers. All the organizers must be a staff member at an institution or a company, and
no PhD or other students can be organizers.
• A tentative program committee (10-15 members)
• Motivation of the workshop:
* scientific objective
* interest to the Euro-Par community
* positioning with respect to the currently existing Euro-Par workshops
• Description of the workshop:
* content
* format (contributed papers, invited talks, panels, posters or any other kind of activity i
including european project meetings)
* organizational aspects
• Workshop background (number of previous editions jointly with Europar or in any other
format)
• Link to international projects/initiatives
The decision about the acceptance/rejection of a workshop proposal will be made on the basis
of the overall quality of the proposal and the degree to which it matches the scope of the
conference. In the case that several workshop proposals have very similar objectives and
scopes, a merge of overlapping workshops may be recommended. The topics covered by a
workshop should not overlap with the main topics of the conference. Decisions will be made on
a rolling basis. Proposals can already be sent, and the organizers may be notified before the
notification deadline in case of a strong proposal.
Workshop Organizer Responsibilities
• Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it
• Preparing and maintaining the workshop Web site including the relevant sections according to
the organization guidelines
• Selecting the workshop program committee considering that each member of the committee
should make at least one review
• Selecting papers through a rigorous peer-review process including at least three reviews per
submission using the provided EasyChair installation and considering the possible conflicts of
interest
• Delivering the final workshop program to the Euro-Par 2023 conference co-chairs in time
• Delivering the preliminary workshop proceedings in time before the conference
• Providing the Euro-Par Steering Committee with a Management Report, after the conference,
with key indicators such as: number of submitted and accepted papers, program committee and
review process management
• Delivering the final workshop proceedings with a revised version of the papers in time after
the conference in the required Springer LNCS format (12 pages max.) and writing a preface to
the workshop. Camera-ready papers will be published only if the management report has been
delivered
• Short papers can be accepted and presented at the workshop. However, to be included in the
formal Springer proceedings, the minimum length is of 10 pages per paper
• Registering for the conference
• Meet the deadlines according to the organization guidelines
Workshop Proceedings and Paper Review
The workshop proceedings will be published in a separate LNCS workshop volume after the
conference. The principal coordinator of each workshop will appear as co-editor of the
workshop volume. Registered workshop participants will receive an electronic copy of the
volume by email. All authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a Springer copyright
form.
The Euro-Par organizers will provide an EasyChair setup for all Euro-Par 2023 workshops, and
its use is mandatory to facilitate paper submissions, reviewing, and collecting the camera-ready
versions. The workshop papers will not be published in the proceedings otherwise. Each
workshop will be an independent track within the Workshops' EasyChair installation, but it will
be fully manageable by the respective organizers. Papers of less than 10 pages will be
considered as short papers that can be presented at the conference but not published in the
proceedings.
MINISYMPOSIA
A minisymposium is a session of coordinated presentations for promoting interdisciplinary
communication on a topic of current interest and importance in the field of parallel and
distributed computing, ideally having potential application in other domains. The length and
program will be decided by the organizers; half-day (three-hour) minisymposia are very
welcome, longer is possible, not exceeding one day (6 hours). The contributions to the
minisymposia will not be published in the proceedings.
Minisymposium Proposal Guidelines
The proposals should include the following information:
• Minisymposium title and acronym, preference for length (half or full-day)
• Information of the organizers (full name, affiliation, country and email address), including a
short biography of each organizer (5-10 lines). Each minisymposium will have a single main
organizer, the corresponding contact. Others can be co-organizers.
• Motivation and scope of the minisymposium:
* Problem area to be addressed by the speakers and possible applications [max 1500
characters];
* Description of target audience and estimated number of participants [max 1500 characters]
* Link to international projects/initiatives
• Format (contributed papers, invited talks, panels, posters or any other kind of activity
including European project meetings),
• Speakers:
* a tentative list of speakers detailing their names, affiliation, email address and title of their
presentations. Nominated speakers should be approached in advance and should have agreed
that they will participate.
* companies and/or institutions involved
Minisymposium Selection Process
All the submitted proposals will be assessed by the organizing committee. The decision about
the acceptance/rejection of a minisymposium proposal will be made on the basis of the overall
quality of the proposal and the degree to which it matches the scope of the conference.
Overlapping minisymposia will be avoided (or possibly merged). Decisions will be made on a
rolling basis. Proposals can already be sent, and the organizers may be notified before the
notification deadline.
Minisymposium Organizer Responsibilities
Minisymposium organizers will be in charge of making publicity of the minisymposium and
specify the number of talks and other activities. The contributions will be sent to the same web
page as the contributions for the workshops. The review process will be decided by the
minisymposium organizers. One of the organizers will be the contact with the conference
organization. The responsibilities are as follows:
• Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it
• Preparing and maintaining the minisymposium website mentioning the Euro-Par vinculation
• Deciding the length of the minisymposium, the program and type of activities and the names
of the speakers
• Use the provided EasyChair installation for receiving the contributions

===========================================
*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Board games gained significant momentum throughout the past two decades,
with some of the best creations earning millions of dollars in funding
platforms during 2021, in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally,
digital games have surpassed all other media, from film to music, in
investments and returns. Board and digital games are two forms of play
which use the same base of design – the game design – so it was without
surprise that a new hybrid approach, that mixed both media, would appear.
Over the past five years, we have seen games with Augmented Reality,
board games using smartphones as assisting tools, tablets being used as
boards, or even games using real food–edible games. This combination of
digital and physical components and strategies in games contributes to a
new experience of play which enhances not only the player’s immersion
and interaction, but also the contents, presentation, atmosphere, and
control of the game. There are some questions emerging in this
discussion, namely about the complementary relationship between physical
and digital games: What are the borderlines between real and virtual
dimensions in hybrid games? How can hybrid games provide a more
participatory gaming experience while players become engaged with
digital and physical components at the same time? Which model of
interaction design of hybrid games best favors player experience,
communication, and engagement?
In this special issue, we want not only to present the current
state-of-the-art of the hybrid games, as the possibilities beyond
current days, making use of speculative approaches to design, as design
fiction, but we want to dig deeper through the lenses of interaction
design, in order to understand the new needs in the realm of
technologies. Furthermore, we want to understand the full impacts and
effects of this move on human interaction with game artifacts and
consequently find out what should we expect from the discipline of
interaction design while using ludic approaches in the next decade.
-----------------------------------------------------------
*Topics of Interest*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue devoted
to Gamification of the Learning Process' includes, but is not limited to:
• Hybrid digital/physical games
• Methods of hybrid game design
• Design Fiction and Hybrid Interaction Design
• Interaction design relation with game design
• Play Hybridism
• Hybrid systems;
• Hybrid design models;
• Hybrid game mechanics and patterns;
• Hybrid storytelling models;
• Hybrid Game interaction models;
• Cognition and game design;
• Aesthetics of Hybrid Digital/Physical Games;
• Board games and Digital Games;

*** First Call for Posters and Demos ***
29th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing
(Euro-Par 2023)
August 28 - September 1, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus
http://2023.euro-par.org
SCOPE
Euro-Par is the prime European conference covering all aspects of parallel and distributed
processing, ranging from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed
systems and infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to applications, from
architecture, compiler, language and interface design and implementation, to tools, support
infrastructures, and application performance aspects.
We invite participants to submit original and unpublished works as posters and/or demos to the
Euro-Par 2023 conference presenting the latest breakthroughs which have been developed in
H2020, Horizon Europe, EuroHPC JU, national, regional and international R&D projects.
Topics of interest should cover the conference scope and tracks (please visit the conference
web site for more information about the topics covered by Euro-Par). The poster/demo
sessions will provide an excellent opportunity for students and researchers to present early-
stage research results and receive valuable feedback on their ongoing research from the
community.
SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
The authors are invited to submit poster and/or demo papers formatted in the Springer
LNCS style:
http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui…
and not exceeding 4 pages (including references, etc.)
Submissions to the poster and demo track will be evaluated through a comprehensive
peer-review process by the Poster and Demo Track Program Committee. The posters and
demos will be evaluated in terms of technical merit, innovation, and the potential to
stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the conference.
The authors of accepted poster and demo papers must register and present them at the
conference. Accepted poster and demo papers will be included in the workshop proceedings
to be published by Springer in LNCS after the conference.
BEST POSTER AND DEMO AWARD
All posters and demos will be considered for the Best Poster Award and the Best Demo Award,
respectively. Decisions will be based on the quality of the submission, as well as live
interactions with the Committee during the conference.
