Dear all,

The 2nd International Workshop on Accessibility Research and Users with Multiple Disabilities or Complex Needs invites presentation proposals from researchers and practitioners interested in designing accessible technologies with and for users with multiple disabilities or complex needs.

We invite plural contributions from scholars in human-computer interaction, engineering, humanities, disability studies, and other sub-domains. Submit your proposal before September 15.

Presentations should include a 250-word abstract stating their existing work, new ideas, or their critical position related to the following topics of interest or closely related areas:

• Participatory, inclusive design methods, accessible systems or assistive technologies for users with multiple disabilities or complex needs.

The philosophical debate concerning virtuality has so far privileged metaphysical issues, asking whether or not virtual spaces and objects should be considered as real or illusory. With this conference, we suggest bracketing such metaphysical questions for a while and focus instead on the relationship between virtuality and experience. In this framework, we would like to favour a phenomenological approach that understands virtuality as a mode of experience that is often mediated by technology.

The range of questions that this conference aims to address includes, but is not limited to, the following: What does it mean to experience ‘virtuality’?… read more. “Call: “Beyond Reality? Virtuality and Experience” Aesthetics & Critique VII conference”

The Human-Machine Communication (HMC) Interest Group supports and promotes scholarship regarding communication between people and technologies designed to enact the role of communicator. Such technologies include, but are not limited to, artificial intelligence (AI) software and devices, robots, digital and home assistants, automated-writing software, smart toys, and Internet of Things (IOT) devices. HMC research focuses on the meaning-making that unfolds when people engage directly with technology as a communicative subject rather than as an object used to communicate with other people.… read more. “Call: Human-Machine Communication at International Communication Association (ICA) 2024 conference”

ACM IUI 2024: ACM Intelligent User Interfaces 2024 Conference
Greenville, South Carolina, USA
March 18-21, 2024
https://iui.acm.org/2024/index.html

Deadlines:
Abstract submission:  October 2, 2023
Full Submission: October 9, 2023

ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) 2024 is the 29th annual premiere venue, where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies, techniques and systems.

In addition to traditional IUI themes, we add this year a new theme of Large Language Models (LLMS) for the people. As LLMs become more powerful and more accessible, end users can interact with them in various ways and a wide variety of new applications become feasible. This raises new research questions regarding the interaction between users and generative AI models, including the design of new interactions and intelligent systems, when to trust systems powered with LLMs, fairness in LLMs, studying the effect of such models on people’s work and aligning user expectations with model capabilities.… read more. “Call: ACM IUI 2024: ACM Intelligent User Interfaces 2024 Conference”
