ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction (SUI) 2016
October 15-16, 2016
Tokyo, Japan
Co-located with UIST 2016

We invite you to participate in the (SUI, rhymes with GUI, http://sui-symposium.org/), which will be co-located with UIST 2016 in Tokyo, Japan. We seek original, unpublished papers documenting original research contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications, from all areas of spatial user interaction. User interface evaluations are strongly encouraged for every publication in this venue.… read more. “Call: ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction (SUI) at UIST 2016”

Fifth International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction (Symbiotic 2016)
Padua, Italy, 29-30 September 2016
http://symbiotic2016.org

The Fifth International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction will take place on the 29th and 30th of September 2016 and will be hosted by the Human Inspired Technology Research center of the University of Padua (Italy).

HIGHLIGHTS:

• extended deadline, common to all categories: 15 June
• doctoral consortium with prominent figures from different fields and DC award
• best paper award
• confirmed keynote speaker: Hans Gellersen, Lancaster University

OVERVIEW

The International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction is the primary venue to present scientific works dealing with the symbiotic relationships between humans and computers and to discuss the nature and implications of such relationship, including ethics. The idea of symbiotic systems put forward in this workshop capitalizes on the computers’ ability to implicitly (even subliminally) detect the users’ goals, preferences or/and psycho‐physiological states and to modify its output accordingly.… read more. “Call: Fifth International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction (Symbiotic 2016)”

2^nd EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good
30 November – 1 December 2016
Venice, Italy

http://goodtechs.eu/2016/show/cf-papers

SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

By social good we refer to a “good” or a service that benefits the largest number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic examples of social goods are, of course, healthcare, safety, environment, democracy, and human rights, but we can add to this classic list even communication, art, entertainment and much more.

In this context, the popularity of portable computing devices, like smartphones, tablets, or smart watches combined with the emergence of many other small smart objects with computational, sensing and communication capabilities coupled with the popularity of social networks and new human-technology interaction paradigms is creating unprecedented opportunities for each of us to do something useful, ranging from a single person to the whole world.… read more. “Call: 2nd EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good”

CEEC 2016
Eighth Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference
Special Session on Computational Intelligence and Games
28th – 30th September 2016, University Of Essex

Paper Submission deadline: 15th May 2016

Games are an ideal domain to study Computational Intelligence (CI) methods because they provide affordable, competitive, dynamic, reproducible environments suitable for testing new search algorithms, pattern-based evaluation methods, or learning concepts. They are also interesting to observe, fun to play, and very attractive to students. Additionally, there is great potential for CI methods to improve the design and development of both computer games and non-digital games such as board games. This special session aims at gathering not only leading researchers, but also young researchers as well as practitioners in this field who research applications of Computational Intelligence methods to computer games.

Researchers are hereby invited to submit a full paper (5-6 pages) detailing their research, or a short paper (max 4 pages) describing their work-in-progress.… read more. “Call: Computational Intelligence and Games – Special session at CEEC 2016”

Call for Papers to the Social Believability in Games Workshop 2016 @ Digra/FDG
Dundee, Scotland
August 1, 2016

https://sites.google.com/site/socialbelievabilityingames

Submission of long and short papers: May 8, 2016

The Social Believability in Games Workshop intends to be a point of interaction for researchers and game developers interested in modeling, discussing, developing systems for, and the humanistic inquiry of social believability in games. This can include behaviour based on social and behavioural science theories and models, systems for SBG frameworks, approaches, methodologies, theories, interpretations, social affordances when interacting with game worlds and more. We invite participants from a multitude of disciplines in order to create a broad spectrum of approaches to the area.

The SBG 2016 workshop is co-located and organised with the 2016 Joint International Conference of the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) and the Foundations of Digital Games conferences (FDG) (DIGRA/FDG 2016) in Dundee, Scotland.… read more. “Call: Social Believability in Games Workshop at DiGRA/FDG 2016”
