Emerging Identities in the Future of Places:
Neo-cultures, Place Multi-mediation and Intersubjectivities

Abstract submission deadline: 1 Nov 2017

How is the development of future places in cities shaping new place-based identities, defined by the intertwined and entangled nature of socio-cultural, technical and spatial practices of people? Comprehending the resultant complexities of place-related identity demands the need to identify new directions that evolve progressively by embracing a renewed understanding of identity. The proposed book aims to facilitate an interdisciplinary approach towards unravelling emerging place- related identities that are caught in a labyrinth created by contemporary urban spatialities. By keeping place as the main frame of enquiry, we seek to comprehend the ephemeral nature of ongoing spatial negotiations within the ecology of urban and media practices. We are interested in examining the intertwined and interrelated concepts of culture, place and identity amidst the technology pervaded urban living that is enabling new forms of place-related identities to emerge.… read more. “Call: Chapters for “Emerging Identities in the Future of Places: Neo-cultures, Place Multi-mediation and Intersubjectivities””

Submission Deadline: Friday, 26 January 2018

Human computer interaction (HCI), with the focus on improving the interaction between humans and machines, is one of the fastest growing fields in nowadays’ computing era. It is an interdisciplinary field situated at the intersection of computer science, human factors, psychology, sociology, behavioural sciences, cognitive science, visualisation, design, and arts. In the recent years, the rapid development of digital technologies has generated huge amounts of data which could be used to enable and recognise human values. Data analytics (DA) hence becomes essential to understand users, to improve the HCI accuracy, efficiency, and effectiveness, and to consolidate the link between HCI and the fast-evolving technologies. On the other hand, a good HCI solution can not only generate trustable data for analytics but also present the analytic results more visually and user-friendly.… read more. “Call: When HCI Meets Data Analytics issue of Advances in Human-Computer Interaction”

Dear all,

Stacy Marsella and I are co-chairing the Socially Interactive Agents Track (formerly Virtual Agents) at AAMAS 2018 that will be held in Stockholm, July 10-15 co-located with IJCAI and ICML.

Our goal in taking on this task is to strengthen and significantly broaden the participation at AAMAS of researchers working on social agents. To that end, we are interested in submissions that span, for example, the various technologies used in both embodied and non-embodied social agents, studies in human-agent interaction and the use of virtual agents in applications and research.

A more complete description of the track is [at the url above and reproduced below].… read more. “Call: Socially Interactive Agents Track at AAMAS 2018”
