Submission deadline: July 5, 2017
Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2017
Camera ready: August 21, 2017
INT10 workshop: October 5-6, 2017

The Intelligent Narrative Technologies (INT) workshop represents the tenth iteration of a series of gatherings dedicated to advancing research in artificial intelligence for the computational understanding and expression of narrative. Our goal is to contribute to this forward momentum by congregating a multidisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners to share their latest work at the intersection of narrative and technology.

Previous editions of INT have been celebrated in conjunction with premium conferences on AI and entertainment, games and arts, such as ICIDS, ELO, FDG and AIIDE (INT9, http://icids2016.ict.usc.edu/about-int9/… read more. “Call: 10th Workshop on Intelligent Narrative Technologies (INT10, with AIIDE 2017)”

INTRODUCTION

The 2017 Workshop on Hybrid Human-Machine Computing (HHMC 2017) is 2-day workshop, to be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK, on 20 and 21 September, 2017. It is a workshop co-funded by University of Surrey’s Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), a number of other organizations and related research projects.

When we talk about “computing” we often mean computers do something (for humans), but due to the more and more blurred boundary between humans and computers, this old paradigm of “computing” has changed drastically, e.g.,… read more. “Call: 2017 Workshop on Hybrid Human-Machine Computing (HHMC 2017)”

11th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation (MAS&S 2017)
Prague, Czech Republic, 3 – 6 September, 2017
WWW: https://www.fedcsis.org/2017/mass and https://fedcsis.org/
E-mail: mass2017@fedcsis.org

Position paper submission: May 31, 2017

We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a position paper to MAS&S 2017 – held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2017).

Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) provide powerful models for representing both real-world systems and applications with an appropriate degree of complexity and dynamics. Several research and industrial experiences have already shown that the use of MASs offers advantages in a wide range of application domains (e.g. financial, economic, social, logistic, chemical, engineering, Internet of Things). When MASs represent software applications to be effectively delivered, they need to be validated and evaluated before their deployment and execution, thus methodologies that support validation and evaluation through simulation of the MAS under development are highly required.… read more. “Call: 11th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation (MAS&S 2017)”

First submission deadline: 2 July 2017

Technology pervades modern life. Most of us are dependent on ICT and relate to others through it. Digital life appears to be changing experience. This conference explores the impact of the digital world on consciousness and experience. Themes include but are not limited to: the impact of immersion in digital technologies on ways of being, questions around advancing AI and robotics, how people navigate the digital world, use of digital media in applied psychology, education, clinical and health settings, and the role of digital technologies in helping further understanding of human behaviour. We welcome psychologists, philosophers, neuroscientists and others interested in this area.… read more. “Call: Technology, Consciousness and Experience – 20th BPS CEP Annual Conference”

The International Conference on Futures of Media
“Futurisms – Media, Arts & Sciences”
10-11 October 2017
Colombo, Sri Lanka

Hosting Partner – Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University, China

Abstract submission deadline:  10th July 2017

Possible areas of enquiry are:

• What is the relationship between art and science, and especially media theory? What are their possible areas of con-/divergence in the digital world?
• Is the so-called “third culture” – the fusion of art and science – an ideal or reality? How poetic is science today – which kinds of work does it produce and in what way do artists reflect their own production processes? How scientific is art today?
• How does contemporary art reveal re-conceptualizations of the self and the world that break with traditional media perspectives? Which contemporary forms of self-expression has art generated, and how are these mirrored in self art (as for instance in ‘selfies’)?
