Call for Papers Special issue of teorema (International Journal of Philosophy) Body, Action and First-Person Thought Deadline for submissions: October 31st, 2017 Both neuroscience-based research on body representation and philosophical research on the constitutive conditions on first-person thought (i.e. thought involving the first-person concept) seem to point in the same direction: there are crucial links to be unveiled between body, action and first-person thought. On the one hand, the substantial amount of neurophysiological data available and patient studies suggest that body representation plays a necessary role in the production of physical action. On the other hand, philosophical reflection on the…

Call for Book Chapters Springer Series in Adaptive Environments – ISSN 2522-5529 Book: People, Personal Data and the Built Environment Editors: Dr Holger Schnädelbach, University of Nottingham Prof David Kirk, Northumbria University https://dis2017peopledataandbuildings.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/call-for-book-chapter-submissions.html Deadline: 18 December 2017 Personal data is increasingly important in our lives. We use personal data to quantify our behaviour, through health apps or for ‘personal branding’ and we are also increasingly forced to part with our data to access services. With a proliferation of embedded sensors, the built environment is playing a key role in this developing use of data, even though this remains relatively hidden.…

Call for Papers The Sixth International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction Eindhoven, The Netherlands December 18-19, 2017 Website: www.symbiotic-interaction.org/symbiotic2017 Extended Submission Deadline for all papers: October 9, 2017 Submission Deadline (DC and demo proposals): October 31, 2017 The International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction collects research and discussion on the changing nature of the relationship between computer systems and humans. Traditionally there has been a clear boundary between the user and the computing system, computers served user’s goals as tools or services, and the interaction was mostly governed by explicit input from users. However, solutions are increasingly adopted to implicitly (even subliminally)…
