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 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.
