Call for Chapters: Emerging Technologies in Virtual Learning Environments

Submission of Proposals Deadline: June 15, 2018

We are inviting proposals for chapters for an edited book “Emerging Technologies in Virtual Learning Environments” to be published by IGI Global in 2019.

My colleagues and I have been researching the way virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality are having an impact on ways people communicate and learn with technology. Virtual Learning Environments at schools and in Higher Education Institutes embracing these emerging technologies are being adopted quickly. The challenge is to identify where and how these applications are able to provide objective evidence of improvements in learning outcomes or behavioural changes and a book that systematically addresses such issues is badly needed and will be helpful to research and practice.

Below please kindly find the Call for Chapters. Please contact us with your ideas and suggestions for a chapter if you would be interested in writing a chapter for the book.… read more. “Call: Emerging Technologies in Virtual Learning Environments (Book chapters)”

ICTS4eHealth 2018 – 3rd edition of the IEEE International Workshop on ICT Solutions for e-Health
In conjunction with the Twenty-Third IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications
Praiamar Natal Hotel & Convention, Natal, Brazil
June 25-28, 2018
www.icts4ehealth.icar.cnr.it

Submission deadline: April 16, 2018 (extended – firm deadline!)

MISSION:

e-Health is one of the major research topics that have been attracting cross-disciplinary research groups. The deployment of new emerging ICT technologies for Health, especially based on Cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Computational Intelligence, is attracting the interest of many researchers.

The use of Cloud computing, IoT technologies, and methods typical of Soft Computing and Computational Intelligence have been very prominent recently and can be of great help in finding good solutions to many practical healthcare applications.

For instance, health monitoring, health data storage, health data collection, mobile health, pervasive health, healthcare monitoring, telemedicine, context-aware computing, ubiquitous computing, processing health data in the cloud, securing health data in the cloud and Assistive Technology (AT) are areas of interest that are being addressed using cloud computing and IoT techniques.… read more. “Call: ICTS4eHealth 2018 – IEEE International Workshop on ICT Solutions for e-Health”

CHIRA 2018: 2nd International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications
September 19 – 21, 2018
Seville – Spain
http://www.chira.scitevents.org/

Submission Deadline:  May 2, 2018

CHIRA is sponsored by INSTICC – Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication

SCOPE

The purpose of the International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications (CHIRA) is to bring together professionals, academics and students who are interested in the advancement of research and practical applications of interaction design & human-computer interaction. Five parallel tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Computer-Human Interaction, including Interaction Design, Human Factors, Entertainment, Cognition, Perception, User-Friendly Software and Systems, Pervasive Technologies and Interactive Devices.

Papers describing original work on advanced methods, prototypes, systems, tools and techniques as well as general survey papers indicating future directions are encouraged. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference by one of the authors and published in the Proceedings of CHIRA, which will be placed on at least one Digital Library and sent for indexation by the major international indexes.… read more. “Call: CHIRA 2018 – 2nd International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications”

Conference on Affect, Interfaces, Events (AIE 2018)
August 29- 30, 2018
Aarhus, Denmark
http://aie.au.dk/aie-2018/

Deadline for submissions: April 16th, 2018

The proliferation of digital and interactive technologies in most aspects of our daily lives produces an intensified distribution of affect. Existential conditions change through affective interface foldings of bodies, subjectivities and technologies. The conference Affects, Interfaces, Events investigates how affective interface events on a micro- and macro-level reinforce or challenge these changes. A major concern of the conference is to consider interface modulations on an affective, social, aesthetic, and political level. We welcome contributions (papers, designs and other interventions) that consider the affective relations involved in interface events and creations. Themes may include but are not limited to:

1. New perspectives on the relations between discourse, power relations, and the affective and signaletic material of networked data, media and audio-visual culture.
