Call for Chapters: Teaching, Learning, and Leading With Computer Simulations https://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/3542 Editors: Dr. Yufeng Qian Louisiana State University Proposals Submission Deadline: January 11, 2019 Full Chapters Due: March 22, 2019 Submission Date: June 17, 2019 INTRODUCTION Computer simulation is becoming increasingly popular in education, especially in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and healthcare and medical disciplines. There has also been growing interest in social sciences and humanities to use computer simulations to facilitate students’ understanding and exploration of abstract and complex systems in social- and human-related disciplines. Decades of research on computer simulations have evidenced that computer simulation, as a powerful…

Call for Book Chapters Intersectional Automations: Robotics, AI, Algorithms, and Equity Abstracts and bios due 1 April 2019 This collection will explore a range of situations where robotics, biotechnological enhancement, artificial intelligence (AI), and algorithmic culture collide with intersectional social justice issues, such as race, class, gender, sexuality, ability and citizenship. Some call it the 4th industrial revolution (Brinded, 2016; Kaplan, 2015). Robots, AI, and algorithms have grown from their early uptake in some industries (such as robots in manufacturing) to an accelerating presence in other spheres ranging from customer service roles (for example, reception, check-outs, food service, driving) to…

Call for Papers: 3rd Workshop on Theory-Informed User Modeling for Tailoring and Personalizing Interfaces (HUMANIZE) March 20, 2019 Los Angeles (USA) http://www.humanize-workshop.org/ In conjunction with IUI 2019 http://iui.acm.org/2019/ Submission deadline: December 3, 2018 MOTIVATION AND GOALS The HUMANIZE workshop aims to explore the interface between data-driven and theory-driven approaches for constructing intelligent/personalized user interfaces. Data-driven approaches for personalized user interfaces can rely on building models from observed and measured user interaction behavior that can predict future behavior from historic behavior. Theory-driven approaches rely on understanding of how certain psychological traits (e.g. personality, cognitive styles, interests) affect the experience/needs of the…
