Acceptance Notification: October 23, 2020
Camera-ready Deadline: October 30, 2020

ABSTRACT:

Robots will become more pervasive in society, playing different roles from tutors to physical therapy assistants to playmates, to name a few. The relationship between children and robots starts before the actual interaction. Researchers are faced with the question of when to involve children in this process. Children are cognitively immature, and their perspectives on robots are different from adults. How are children’s perceptions, expectations, and perspectives influencing the field, and how is CRI impacting children’s cognitive development? This half-day workshop aims to bring researchers, practitioners, and pioneers from relevant disciplines to this platform to have in-depth discussions on various aspects of CRI, such as potentials, challenges, and related opportunities to keep children in the loop.… read more. “Call: ICSR 2020 Workshop on Child-Robot Interaction: Present and Future Relationships”

EICS 2021: The 13th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems
8-11 June, 2021
Eindhoven, The Netherlands
https://eics.acm.org/eics2021/

Submission deadline (round 2): October 23rd, 2020

EICS 2021 is the thirteenth international conference devoted to engineering interactive computing systems and their user interfaces, addressing one or more software quality factors, such as usability, user experience, reliability, security, etc.

Work presented at EICS covers all processes at any stage of the development life-cycle (requirements, specification, validation and verification, testing, deployment, maintenance).

Any of the following topics of interest may be addressed as long as their engineering contribution is made explicit and highlighted.

TOPICS

EICS 2021 focuses on models, languages, notations, methods, techniques and tools that support designing and developing interactive systems. The Conference brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from: Design, HCI, Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, Modelling, and Programming.… read more. “Call: EICS 2021: 13th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems”

The 2nd International Conference on
Educational Innovation and Philosophical Inquiries (ICEIPI 2021)
Stanford, California, US [see note below]
August 8, 2021
https://www.iceipi.org/

First round submission deadline: December 1, 2020

NOTE: Possible Actions on COVID-19: This conference is planned to be held in Stanford University, California. Presently, under the influence of COVID-19, there have been restrictions on travel and gatherings to avoid the spread of the virus. The world is making every effort to fight against the pandemic and we hope it can soon reach its conclusion. However, if the current situation continues as the set date of ICEIPI 2021 is approaching, we are afraid that this conference will have to be moved online in consideration for the health and safety of our participants. We will make timely updates to every change of the format and schedule of the conference.… read more. “Call: The 2nd International Conference on Educational Innovation and Philosophical Inquiries (ICEIPI 2021)”
