*VL/HCC '22 Graduate Consortium*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Important Dates*
-
* Submission by e-mail: 12 May 2022- Notification of final decision: 2 June
2022 - Camera-ready deadline: 9 June 2022- Consortium date: 12 September
2022*
(all deadlines are *23:59, AoE*)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Call for Participation*
The primary goal of this year's event is to stimulate graduate students'
and other researchers' thinking about “*Human-Centric AI*”, addressing
issues such as how to ensure that tools and explanations for AI fit the
needs of the broad populations they need to serve.
Research areas could involve the design, building, or evaluation of
technologies involving or relating to human-centric AI and issues of
human-centric AI, such as trust and fairness. This goal aligns with the
theme of the 2022 VL/HCC main conference. Other areas within the remit of
VL/HCC are also welcome.
*Why You Should Participate*
- Present your work to a smaller, more attentive audience
- Get detailed, critical, constructive feedback from a diverse panel of
experts
- Meet other students working on similar problems
- Travel funding may be available to help cover your cost of attending
VL/HCC (details below).
*Who Can Participate?*
The consortium is open to both master's and PhD students worldwide.
Participation is particularly encouraged from PhD students who are close to
proposing a thesis, as well as from members of groups identified by NSF as
underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. If multiple applicants
from a particular university apply for the consortium this year, then no
more than two per university will be selected to participate. To be
eligible, each applicant may have participated no more than once in the
VL/HCC graduate consortia of past years.
*Application Process*
Email the following items with *_VLHCC22-GC_* in the subject line to *Andrew
Fish at [andrew.fish `at' brighton.ac.uk <http://brighton.ac.uk>]* and
*Thomas LaToza [tlatoza `at' gmu.edu <http://gmu.edu>]:*
- A 2-page research abstract, formatted as a PDF in the standard IEEE
Conference Proceedings format. NOTE: Accepted participants' abstracts will
be included in the conference proceedings. To make it easier for you to
write a successful abstract, we provide examples from past years below.
Your curriculum vitae (CV), as a second PDF file. This CV should mention
whether you have previously participated in any graduate consortia at any
conferences.
- A letter of recommendation sent directly by your thesis advisor. This
letter should summarize your accomplishments and describe how far along you
are in your master's or PhD program, why attending the GC this year would
be important for you, and please ask them to mention if you have already
attended VL/HCC GC in any past year. In addition, if you are a member of a
group designated by NSF as underrepresented, then the letter may mention
this fact.
*Selection Process*
For one-third of the slots, students who have participated once before will
be given priority. The remaining slots will be given to students who are
new to the event. Each student from the returning group will be linked with
new students in a mentoring arrangement. See _Who Can Participate?_ above
for additional selection criteria.
*Posters*
Selected students will be asked to present a poster on their work at the
Showpieces Reception during the main conference. Details will be provided
to accepted applicants.
*Travel Support*
We expect to be able to offer partial funding for travel expenses for US
participants to attend, contingent on the availability of funds.
*Schedule*
The consortium event will be a full day the Monday before the main
conference. All participating students are expected to attend the main
conference as well as the graduate consortium. Other conference attendees
are invited to attend the consortium, to listen to the presentations, to
interact with participants, and to give feedback to presenters. More
details will be provided, closer to the event, including times and
locations.
*Examples of Successful Applications*
To be successful, a submission to the VL/HCC Graduate Consortium generally
has to have the following parts:
1. The paper starts with a sentence or two that describes a real-world
setting.
2. It then identifies a problem in that setting.
3. The remainder of the paper's introduction outlines an approach for
solving that problem.
4. In a subsequent section, the paper describes a prototype or preliminary
study showing the feasibility of that approach.
5. The paper explains why more work is still required in addition to this
prior work.
6. The paper concludes by describing future work that will build on this
prior work in order to finish completing the approach.
7. Somewhere along the way, the paper explains how the approach builds on,
or differs from, other related work.
We have annotated three excellent submissions that exemplify the pattern
described above (PDFs available via links at
https://conf.researchr.org/track/vlhcc-2022/vlhcc-2022-graduate-consortium).
We hope that you will find these examples thought-provoking and helpful as
you design your own submission this year.

International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI) - 30TH ANNIVERSARY
Since 1992, AVI has been a biennial appointment for a vast international community of experts with a broad range of backgrounds. Throughout three decades, the Conference has attracted leading researchers of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from all over the world, offering a forum to present and disseminate new technological results, paradigms, and visions for HCI and user interfaces.
Because of advanced technology and new possibilities for user interaction, AVI has broadened the topics it covers, still keeping its primary focus on the conception, design, implementation, and evaluation of novel visual interfaces.
While rooted in Italy, AVI is an actual international conference concerning the nationality of participants, authors of papers, and program committee members. The mixture of carefully selected research contributions paired with cordial Italian hospitality creates a unique conference atmosphere, which has made AVI an internationally recognized brand.
AVI 2022 is under the patronage of Sapienza Università di Roma, Dipartimento di Informatica, Italy.
We look forward to your participation in AVI2022!

MIS4TEL 2022 -- 12th International Conference on Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning
>>> SCOPE
Education is the cornerstone of any society and it serves as one of the foundations for many of its social values and characteristics. State-of-the-art and novel methodologies and technologies allow researchers, designers, and domain experts to pursue Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) solutions targeting not only cognitive processes but also motivational, personality, or emotional factors. Nowadays, we can identify two main legs, providing necessary and complementary strengths to a TEL-oriented design process: appropriate technologies should be applied, and appropriate methods should guide the design of such application. Technologies in TEL are capable of delivering smart, personalized, tailored, and motivating learning solutions. Methods are coming from different fields, such as education, psychology, medicine, computer science, and from diverse communities, where collaboration and co-working are used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, Learning Analytics can help manage available (big) data and augment learning opportunities for learners and educators alike, for instance by supporting self-regulated learning or adaptation of the learning material.
As to these topics, the annual appointment of MIS4TEL established itself as a consolidated fertile forum where scholars and professionals from the international community, with a broad range of expertise in the TEL field, share results and compare experiences. The 12th edition of the conference calls for novel research in TEL and expands the topics of the previous editions, highlighting the role of the most recent methods and technological opportunities. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL.

*IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC)
2022*
From the beginning of the computer age, people have sought easier ways to
learn, express, and understand computational ideas. Whether this meant
moving from punch cards to textual languages, or command lines to graphical
UIs, the quest to make computation easier to express, manipulate, and
understand by a broader group of people is an ongoing challenge.
The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing is the
premier international forum for research on this topic. Established in
1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory,
application, and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for
programming, modeling, and communicating, which are easier to learn, use,
and understand by people.
The 2022 symposium is scheduled to take place September 12-16 in Rome,
Italy.
Our special emphasis for 2022 is *Human-Centric AI*. VL/HCC 2022 is 100%
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Multimedia
Computing (TCMC).
*VL/HCC is indexed in Scopus, DBLP, IEEE Explore, WoS.*
*The Symposium is planned to be in presence. In any case, we are monitoring
the Covid situation and will act according to decisions of the authorities
to insure the safest and widest participation.*
We look forward to your participation in VL/HCC!
Paolo Bottoni, VL/HCC 2022 General Co-Chair
Gennaro Costagliola, VL/HCC 2022 General Co-Chair
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Scope and Topics*
We solicit original, unpublished research papers on computing technologies
for modeling, programming, communicating, and reasoning, which are easier
to learn, use or understand by humans than the current state-of-the-art.
Papers should focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate
those technologies and languages. This includes technologies intended for
general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public)
or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people working in business
administration, production environments, healthcare, urban design or
scientific domains).
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Visual Languages: Novel visual languages, Design, evaluation, and
theory of visual languages and applications, Development of systems for
manipulating and interacting with diagrammatic representations
- Human aspects and psychology of software development and language
design, such as supporting inclusion and diversity in programming
- End-user development: End-user development, adaptation and
programming, Creation and evaluation of technologies and infrastructures
for end user development
- Crowdsourcing design and development work
- Representations: Novel representations and user interfaces for
expressing computation, Software, algorithm and data visualization
- Modeling: Model-driven development, Domain-specific languages,
including modeling languages, Visual modeling of human behavior and
socio-technical systems
- Thinking more deeply about code: Computational thinking and Computer
Science education, Debugging and program understanding, Explainable ML/AI
If you are not sure if your paper is a good fit for VL/HCC, feel free to
email the PC Co-chairs (see “Contacts” below). We welcome those new to the
VL/HCC community to submit!
*Special Emphasis for 2022: Human-Centric AI*
This year’s special topic is “Human-Centric AI”. As AI and explainable AI
(XAI) experience explosive growth, many questions arise about how to ensure
that tools and explanations for AI fit the needs of the broad populations
they need to serve. This year, we especially welcome papers at VL/HCC that
design, build, or evaluate technologies involving or relating to
human-centric AI and issues of human-centric AI, such as trust and fairness.
*Paper submissions*
We invite *two kinds of papers*:
- full-length research papers, up to 8 pages - plus unlimited additional
pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements
- short research papers, up to 4 pages - plus unlimited additional pages
containing only references and/or acknowledgements.
Papers must be submitted using the IEEE two-column conference paper format.
Be sure to use the current IEEE conference paper format (which was updated
in 2019), and to select the “US letter” template:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
*>>> Papers should be submitted via the **EasyChair system*
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022>*. <<<*
*>>> The submission link is: *
*https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022*
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022>* <<<*
To facilitate the assigning of papers to reviewers, we require paper
abstracts to be submitted via EasyChair at least 1 week prior to the paper
submission deadline (see Important Deadlines above).
The abstract must be kept up to date such that it matches exactly the
abstract in the submitted paper. The abstract must be no longer than 250
words.
All accepted papers, whether full or short, should be complete,
self-contained, archival contributions. Contributions from full papers are
more extensive than those from short papers. Work-in-progress, which has
not yet yielded a contribution, should be submitted to the Showpieces
category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program
Committee in a single blind review process. Authors will then receive the
reviews for their submissions and will be able to answer them in a rebuttal
phase. Only after this step the PC will make a final decision about the
acceptance of the submissions. Submissions and reviews for the technical
program are managed with EasyChair. At least one author of each accepted
paper is required to register for VL/HCC 2022 and present the paper at the
conference. There will be a virtual presentation option in case of travel
restrictions. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution
after the conference, including IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper
is not presented by the author at the conference.
The proceedings of IEEE VL/HCC are published in digital form by the IEEE
Computer Science Society and archived in the IEEE Digital Library with an
official ISBN number. Accepted papers will be available to conference
attendees via the IEEE Open Preview program in the IEEE Xplore Digital
Library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/).
*Evaluation and Justification*
Papers are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence. For
example, a paper that claims to improve programmer productivity is expected
to demonstrate improved productivity; a paper that claims to be easier to
use should demonstrate increased ease of use.
However, not all claims necessarily need to be supported with empirical
evidence or studies with people. For example, a paper that claims to make
something feasible that was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim
through the existence of a functioning prototype.
Moreover, there are many alternatives to empirical evidence that may be
appropriate for justifying claims, including analytical methods, formal
arguments or case studies. Given this criterion, we encourage potential
authors to think carefully about what claims their submission makes and
what evidence would adequately support these claims. In addition, we expect
short papers to have less comprehensive evaluation than long papers.
*Special Issue of The Journal of Computer Languages (COLA)*
A select number of accepted papers will also be invited to optionally
submit a revised and extended paper to a special issue of the Journal of
Computer Languages (COLA). These papers will also go through the journal’s
normal reviewing process. Papers accepted at both would appear both in the
proceedings for VL/HCC 2022 and in COLA. Further instructions regarding
formatting and the review/publication process will be provided when the
invitations are made.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Scope and Topics*
We solicit original, unpublished research papers on computing technologies
for modeling, programming, communicating, and reasoning, which are easier
to learn, use or understand by humans than the current state-of-the-art.
Papers should focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate
those technologies and languages. This includes technologies intended for
general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public)
or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people working in business
administration, production environments, healthcare, urban design or
scientific domains).
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Visual Languages: Novel visual languages, Design, evaluation, and
theory of visual languages and applications, Development of systems for
manipulating and interacting with diagrammatic representations
- Human aspects and psychology of software development and language
design, such as supporting inclusion and diversity in programming
- End-user development: End-user development, adaptation and
programming, Creation and evaluation of technologies and infrastructures
for end user development
- Crowdsourcing design and development work
- Representations: Novel representations and user interfaces for
expressing computation, Software, algorithm and data visualization
- Modeling: Model-driven development, Domain-specific languages,
including modeling languages, Visual modeling of human behavior and
socio-technical systems
- Thinking more deeply about code: Computational thinking and Computer
Science education, Debugging and program understanding, Explainable ML/AI
If you are not sure if your paper is a good fit for VL/HCC, feel free to
email the PC Co-chairs (see “Contacts” below). We welcome those new to the
VL/HCC community to submit!
*Special Emphasis for 2022: Human-Centric AI*
This year’s special topic is “Human-Centric AI”. As AI and explainable AI
(XAI) experience explosive growth, many questions arise about how to ensure
that tools and explanations for AI fit the needs of the broad populations
they need to serve. This year, we especially welcome papers at VL/HCC that
design, build, or evaluate technologies involving or relating to
human-centric AI and issues of human-centric AI, such as trust and fairness.
*Paper submissions*
We invite *two kinds of papers*:
- full-length research papers, up to 8 pages - plus unlimited additional
pages containing only references and/or acknowledgements
- short research papers, up to 4 pages - plus unlimited additional pages
containing only references and/or acknowledgements.
Papers must be submitted using the IEEE two-column conference paper format.
Be sure to use the current IEEE conference paper format (which was updated
in 2019), and to select the “US letter” template:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
*>>> Papers should be submitted via the **EasyChair system*
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022>*. <<<*
*>>> The submission link is: *
*https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022*
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vlhcc2022>* <<<*
To facilitate the assigning of papers to reviewers, we require paper
abstracts to be submitted via EasyChair at least 1 week prior to the paper
submission deadline (see Important Deadlines above).
The abstract must be kept up to date such that it matches exactly the
abstract in the submitted paper. The abstract must be no longer than 250
words.
All accepted papers, whether full or short, should be complete,
self-contained, archival contributions. Contributions from full papers are
more extensive than those from short papers. Work-in-progress, which has
not yet yielded a contribution, should be submitted to the Showpieces
category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program
Committee in a single blind review process. Authors will then receive the
reviews for their submissions and will be able to answer them in a rebuttal
phase. Only after this step the PC will make a final decision about the
acceptance of the submissions. Submissions and reviews for the technical
program are managed with EasyChair. At least one author of each accepted
paper is required to register for VL/HCC 2022 and present the paper at the
conference. There will be a virtual presentation option in case of travel
restrictions. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution
after the conference, including IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper
is not presented by the author at the conference.
The proceedings of IEEE VL/HCC are published in digital form by the IEEE
Computer Science Society and archived in the IEEE Digital Library with an
official ISBN number. Accepted papers will be available to conference
attendees via the IEEE Open Preview program in the IEEE Xplore Digital
Library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/).
*Evaluation and Justification*
Papers are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence. For
example, a paper that claims to improve programmer productivity is expected
to demonstrate improved productivity; a paper that claims to be easier to
use should demonstrate increased ease of use.
However, not all claims necessarily need to be supported with empirical
evidence or studies with people. For example, a paper that claims to make
something feasible that was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim
through the existence of a functioning prototype.
Moreover, there are many alternatives to empirical evidence that may be
appropriate for justifying claims, including analytical methods, formal
arguments or case studies. Given this criterion, we encourage potential
authors to think carefully about what claims their submission makes and
what evidence would adequately support these claims. In addition, we expect
short papers to have less comprehensive evaluation than long papers.
*Special Issue of The Journal of Computer Languages (COLA)*
A select number of accepted papers will also be invited to optionally
submit a revised and extended paper to a special issue of the Journal of
Computer Languages (COLA). These papers will also go through the journal’s
normal reviewing process. Papers accepted at both would appear both in the
proceedings for VL/HCC 2022 and in COLA. Further instructions regarding
formatting and the review/publication process will be provided when the
invitations are made.

EMPATHY: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems
- 3rd Edition
https://empathy-ws.github.io/2022/
June 6th, 2022
Rome, Italy
Workshop co-located with AVI 2022
OVERVIEW
In the last decade, the spreading of low-cost technologies integrating
sensors and actuators has favored the development of the so-called smart
objects. This trend has been further fostered by the Internet of Things
(IoT), which connects the physical world with Internet via ubiquitous
sensors and actuators. The opportunities offered by the IoT are
amplified by the use of new approaches that, based on novel interaction
paradigms, involve directly non-technical users in configuring the joint
behavior of their smart objects, among them and with online services.
Existing solutions to define the behavior of such “IoT ecosystems” range
from systems that leave the users complete control for establishing the
joint behavior of smart objects, to solutions that automatically define
smart objects behavior exploiting intelligent techniques. In this
continuum, different technologies, frameworks, and approaches present
different levels of user control and automation. In this perspective it
is also important to consider the emerging role played by social and
humanoid robots, which are integrated sets of sensors and actuators with
human-like behaviours.
DATES
April 9th: Paper submission deadline
April 16th: Paper acceptance notice
April 29th: Camera-ready submission

*SLERD 2022* is organized by /University Politehnica of Bucharest /in
collaboration with /ASLERD/ <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASLERD>/./
*

/*Short Intro*/
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*“. This is within a
world that seeks to protect at best and incentivize the economic
recovery that although relevant is still subjected to enormous risks.
Among the main areas on which most of the industrialized countries and
Europe are focusing on, there are: the transitions towards a green and
circular economy, smart digitization of the production processes, social
innovation, active citizen participation supported by technologies, and,
finally, the education for all. 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*. Last but not
least, they are likely to require an organizational and didactic
revolution of the learning ecosystems, thus requiring to question the
possible consequences in order to build a more adequate future. In turn,
this step requires inspiration from best practices to leverage the
advantage of the growth of individuals and the expectations of the
communities.
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
<http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/aslerd/docs/TIMISOARA_DECLARATI…>”
as a contribution to theUnited Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)
<https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld>?
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?
/Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts,
does not simply means “technology enhanced”. The smartness is a more
complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players
operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any
relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning,
especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation.
Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they
are not a “sine qua non”.
The achievement of the learning ecosystems’ smartness is a process that
need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to
understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic
resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen goals.
/*
*//*Topics of interests*/
*SLERD 2022* is proud to invite colleagues - researchers and
practitioners - from all over the world to share the efforts concerning

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS
Workshop on Reflections and Dialogues around Smart Technology (ResiSTo)
--- Proceedings in Springer Verlag; indexing in Scopus; fast review process ---
Co-located with the 12th International Conference on Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning (MIS4TEL), L'Aquila, Italy | 13th-15th July, 2022
================================================
IMPORTANT DATES
================================================
Workshop papers submission deadline: 22nd April, 2022
Workshop camera-ready papers: 17th June, 2022
Accepted workshop papers will be included in the MIS4TEL Proceedings published in the LNNS series of Springer Verlag (https://www.springer.com/series/15179), and will be Scopus indexed.
================================================
THEME
================================================
Smart technologies include, but are not limited to, AI-based devices for digital education, smart things, smart art-work, smart environments, smart cities and smart artefacts, in general. The workshop focuses on the role which reflections, as in design thinking, and dialogues, as in ethnographic research, play in imagining, conceptualising, using, assessing smart technologies for different contexts and people, with a preference for learning contexts and learners.
Workshop papers are expected to describe frameworks, methods, toolkits, experiences, studies or provocations with reflections and dialogues around smart technologies. Examples are toolkits which enable young generations to design smart things and reflect across their design (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212868921000660). Other examples are studies concerning design as a means for reflecting on stereotypes (http://www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/-(448ba68b-ca74-4b06…).
The workshop is intended as a forum to share provocations concerning past research work, novel ideas grounded in the literature, work-in-progress prototypes, as well as preliminary results which intercept the theme of the workshop. In other words, workshop papers are expected to report on early or ongoing research activities, which have not yet got the maturity expected for the main-conference submissions.
================================================
TOPICS
================================================
Suggested topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
-Reflections in the creation, usage or evaluation of smart technologies
-Responsibility or other critical reflections in technology enhanced learning
-The role of dialogue in digital education
-Field studies and ecological studies for reflecting with/around smart technologies
-Playfulness, gamification and critical reflections with/around smart technologies
-Responsibility in the design of smart solutions
-Critical thinking in the design of smart cities, environments, things, artwork, artefacts
-Dialogue and reflections in designing smart technologies at a distance
-Dialogue and reflections in using smart technologies at a distance
-Dialogue and reflections in assessing smart technologies at a distance
-Dialogues and reflections in making or physical computing
-Creativity, dialogues, reflections and smart technologies
-Biases in smart technologies
-Unveiling ethics concerns with/around smart technologies
================================================
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
================================================
Workshop contributions should be 10-page papers or exceptionally 6-page papers, including references; papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNNS template, available on the main-conference website of MIS4TEL.
Papers should be submitted as PDF via Easychair. The Easychair submission page can be accessed at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mis4tel22. Please take care in selecting the correct track i.e., “Workshop on Reflections and Dialogues around Smart Technology (ResiSTo)” when submitting.
All submissions will undergo a fast yet careful peer review process by at least two members of the program committee.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACM UMAP 2022 is the premier international conference for researchers and
practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users, to groups
of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information.
Theory, Opinion, and Reflection (TOR) are position papers that critically
look at ongoing and emerging research topics, reflections on persistent or
fleeting trends in the field, and blue sky future ideas for UMAP research.
They offer an opportunity for discussing thought-provoking work relevant to
the UMAP community, albeit they are not yet ready to be published as
full-length research papers at a refereed conference. Moreover, to
mark the 30th
year of the UMAP conference, this track encourages papers that consider a
broad perspective on how the field has evolved and the challenges and
directions that lay ahead. We encourage both qualitative and quantitative
historical analyses, and reflections on persistent or fleeting trends in
the field, although blue-sky ideas and early-stage works are also welcome,
as long as their aim is to foster discussions and collaborations among
colleagues.
Submissions should have a length of up to 4 pages (excluding references) in
the new ACM single-column style and will be published as part of the ACM
UMAP 2022 Adjunct Proceedings. More information in:
