OVERVIEW

Today, it is a true challenge to design applications that support users of technology in complex and emergent organizational and work contexts. To meet this challenge, the Working Group 13.6 (WG13.6) on Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) was established in September 2005 as the sixth working group under the International Federation for Information Processing specifically the Technical Committee 13 on Human Computer Interaction (HCI).… read more. “Call: “Human Work Interaction Design meets International Development” for IxD&A Journal”

Scalable Computing and Communications

Special Issue on
Scalable Algorithms and Behavior Analytics in Cyber-Enabled World

http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/1608722/application/pdf/scalable+algorithms+and+behavior.pdf

Deadline: March 31, 2018

AIMS AND SCOPE

Due to the emerging computing paradigm, the physical, social, and mental world are increasingly integrating and merging into the cyberspace. In this emerging but significant field, it is necessary to model the human individual information processing along with their corresponding behaviors, in order to build systematic knowledge about new phenomena, behaviors, properties and practices across the broad applications in cyber-enabled world. Specifically, studies related to scalable algorithm and behavioral analysis are conducted in terms of the cyber entities, as well as their relations and conjugations in physical, social and mental spaces, which focuses more on the basic attributes, models, functions, and evolutions of cyber entities, and all their possible relations conjugated with real things. For this scientific and systematic study, numerous challenges are raised as: How to establish and improve the foundational theory and methodology for the scalable computing and data processing in the cyber-enabled world?… read more. “Call: Scalable Algorithms and Behavior Analytics in Cyber-Enabled World – SCAC special issue”

Invitation and International Call for Presentations
3RD JOINT UAE SYMPOSIUM ON SOCIAL ROBOTICS (JSSR2018)
4-7 February 2018
New York University Abu Dhabi
United Arab Emirates University

Registration: SocialRoboticsUAE@uaeu.ac.ae

Submission deadline: December 30, 2018

THE FUTURE IS HERE

A future in which robots will be our social companions and will assist us in many of our activities is quickly approaching. To get ready for tomorrow, a new kind of integrated research is gaining unprecedented traction: the study of interactions between humans inspires the development of more sophisticated autonomous agents, scaffolding the creation of the next generation of social robots. At the same time, the study of interactions between intelligent social machines and people provides insights into human social cognition and can inform and validate the explanatory and predictive models advanced by the social sciences.

SOCIAL ROBOTICS

Social robotics connects these two trends, bringing together expertise from different scientific and technological areas such as human-robot interaction, software engineering, artificial intelligence, social and cognitive psychology, the behavioral and brain sciences, social cognition theory, cognitive philosophy and philosophical psychology.… read more. “Call: 3rd Joint UAE Symposium on Social Robotics (JSSR2018)”

Call for Proposals

Connected Learning Summit
August 1-3, 2018
MIT Media Lab, Cambridge, MA

Learn More & Apply: http://clsummit.news/CLScfpGRN

Application Deadline: January 5, 2018

We are proud to announce the First Annual Connected Learning Summit (CLS) to be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab. On alternating years, it will be held at the University of California, Irvine.

The mission of the CLS is to fuel a growing movement of innovators harnessing the power of emerging technology to expand access to participatory, playful, and creative learning. It represents a merger between three community events with this shared vision and values: the Digital Media and Learning Conference, the Games+Learning+Society Conference, and Sandbox Summit.

With a unique focus on cross-sector connections and progressive and catalytic innovation, the event brings together leading researchers, educators and developers. The program includes a mix of engaging presentation and workshop formats ranging from speculative design, to game walkthroughs, sharing work in progress, and research panels.… read more. “Call: Connected Learning Summit at MIT Media Lab”
