Webinar On Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Surveillance through Digital Library Tools
by Melissa Villa-Nicholas 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Next in the Information Equity webinar series: On Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Surveillance through Digital Library Tools With *Sarah Lamdan, Professor of Law at CUNY and Immigrant Defense Project* *April 8 @12:30 EST* *Register here : * https://events.uri.edu/event/on_immigration_and_customs_enforcement_ice_sur… *CC available * *Will not be recorded * Some of our library vendors are also selling peoples' data to law enforcement surveillance programs, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)'s invasive "big data" policing program. Companies like Thomson Reuters and RELX Group (formerly Reed Elsevier), are supplying billions of data points, bits of personal information, updated in real time, to police as they run our library products and resources. Putting surveillance companies under the same corporate umbrellas as our research products raises sticky ethical quandaries. How do we transition the ethics we apply to offline library collections, paper collections and library stacks, to our online research platforms? Can we ensure patron privacy and freedom to research when we rely on data analytics corporations to license digital content on their third-party platforms? These questions don't have easy answers in our current digital library systems. In this conversation, we will explore how our vendors' practices conflict with library privacy and intellectual freedom standards, and consider how the relationship between our vendors and law enforcement agencies might impact our patrons and coworkers. -- Dr. Melissa Villa-Nicholas Graduate School of Library and Information Studies University of Rhode Island Pronouns: She/Hers melissavillanicholas.net

Case study: digital video ad targeting in U.S. state legislative races
by Colin Delany 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hi folks, I know that many of you have done work around digital political advertising and data-targeting and the issues involved. I thought you might be interested in what a sophisticated current campaign actually looks like on the ground in the U.S., including the very real limitations practitioners face. Last fall, I worked on a project in two battleground states in the U.S. that involved targeted video content and targeted digital video advertising in a swath of state legislative races plus a handful of congressional and local races. The Hometown Project and I used district-specific videos featuring actors, comedians and musicians who grew up in the targeted areas, and we reached priority voters via comprehensive digital ad targeting on Facebook and a programmatic video advertising platform. The project involved targeting from top to bottom, with a last-minute twist because of fundamental limitations in the process. We served 4.6 million ad impressions in total and reached many tens of thousands of U.S. voters. Plus, we got to work with Ernie Hudson, the fourth Ghostbuster! Check it out: https://www.epolitics.com/2021/03/25/targeted-digital-video-ads-in-state-le… I'm happy to chat more if you're interested. --cpd "How to Use the Internet to Change the World - and Win Elections: A Comprehensive Guide to Digital Politics for Campaigns, Activists & Advocates" [Ebook] http://www.epolitics.com/winning Colin Delany Epolitics.com -- digital strategy for politics and advocacy http://www.epolitics.com 202-422-4682 cpd(a)epolitics.com @epolitics

8th International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD 2021): Call for Demos, Work in Progress and DC
by Announce Announcements 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

*** Call for Demos, Work in Progress and DC *** 8th International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD 2021): "Democratizing AI Development" July 6-8, 2021, Atlantica Miramare Beach Hotel 4*, Limassol, Cyprus http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPListManager2021/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXI… End-user development (EUD) aims at empowering end users to develop and adapt systems at a level of complexity that is adequate to their expertise, practices, and skills. EUD may occur along the entire software lifecycle, with the purpose of making users able to participate in their artifact development, not only at design time, but also during actual use. Originally, EUD was conceived as a more general concept than end-user programming; thus, scholars proposed methods, techniques and tools that allow end users to modify or extend software artifacts, such as spreadsheets, web applications, video games, and mobile applications. In the co-called Internet of Things era, end-user development moved on to address the problem of defining and modifying the behavior of smart environments, including smart objects, pervasive displays, smart homes, smart cities, and so on. Therefore, the term "end-user development" acquired a broader meaning covering approaches, frameworks and socio-technical environments that allow end users to express themselves in crafting digital artifacts that encompass both software and hardware technology. Recent research and technological trends like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Cyber-Security, Robotics, and Industry 4.0, have contributed to renew the vision of end-user development, by providing tools and platforms that allow end users to harness the power of AI to create solutions involving Computer Vision, Image Processing, Conversational User Interfaces, as well as solutions for smart environments. Such developments lower the threshold for creating AI solutions, and expand the programmer base for such solutions, by extending AI application both for professional and discretionary use. IS-EUD is a bi-annual event for researchers and practitioners with an interdisciplinary approach to EUD, including: Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Human-Work Interaction Design, and related areas. IS-EUD 2021 Theme: Democratizing AI Development The 2021 edition of IS-EUD focuses on EUD for AI-based systems, where end users are called on to become end-user developers of intelligent agents, digital twins, collaborative and social robots. This edition would like to discuss the adoption of EUD in new fields, the proposal of novel EUD paradigms, and the impact of AI-based EUD in terms of user acceptability and appropriation. One of the most interesting topics in human-AI interaction is explainability of AI-based systems: research submissions presenting end- user oriented solutions to this problem will be particularly welcome. Theoretical and empirical work analyzing pros and cons of this new EUD wave, identifying requirements for end-user development of AI and acceptance of related solutions is invited. Software infrastructures and eco- systems supporting the reuse of solutions and the emergence of meta- design practices are of particular interest to this community, linking the challenges relating AI to topics central to the IS-EUD community. Conference Topics The conference welcomes contributions that: · describe new, simple and efficient environments for end-user development · describe new processes, methods and techniques for empowering users to create, modify and tailor digital artifacts · present case studies and design implications on challenges and practices of end-user development · develop theoretical concepts and foundations for the field of end-user development Specific topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones: · User-oriented orchestration of AI-based devices · Conversational interfaces for end-user development · End-user development for big data visualization and exploration · End-user development for collaborative robotics · End-user development for social robotics · End-user development in Industry 4.0 · End-user development and explainable AI-based systems · Cybersecurity and end-user development · End-user development in daily life · Technologies and infrastructures for end-user development · Empirical studies of end-user development · Recommender systems to support end-user development · Cultures of participation and meta-design approaches · Technology acceptance and adoption studies of end-user development technologies · Evaluation of end-user development technologies · Supporting creative work through end-user development Submissions We invite submissions for Demos, Work in Progress and Doctoral Consortium. A Demonstration paper (max 6 pages) should be structured according to the following: · Abstract (150 words maximum) · Topics to be covered and their relevance to the EUD community · Detailed description of the planned demonstration activity · Diagrams or screenshots (if relevant) · Supporting documentation (e.g., project website) · References Work in Progress submissions (max 6 pages) are intended for presenting preliminary results or tentative findings and position papers. The authors of accepted contributions will have the opportunity to give an oral presentation during parallel sessions. Finally, the IS-EUD Doctoral Consortium is intended to bring together PhD students working on theory and application of EUD. We particularly encourage students that are about half-way through their doctoral research to submit doctoral consortium contributions (max 6 pages) describing the topic of their PhD, their approach and a summary of their progress. Demonstration, Work in Progress and Doctoral Consortium submissions should indicate in the title page "Demo", "WiP" or "DC" respectively. Accepted submissions will be included in IS-EUD 2021 adjunct proceedings, which will be submitted to http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPListManager2021/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXI… for online publication.

Dear colleague, Could you kindly share the following new book announcement in your listserv? With thanks and kind regards, Min ________________________________________________________________ Min Jiang (Ph.D.) Professor of Communication Studies Affiliate Faculty, International Studies 5011 Colvard N., UNCC, 9201 University City Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28223 704-687-0768 | Min.Jiang(a)uncc.edu | Web <http://clas-pages.uncc.edu/min-jiang/>site <http://clas-pages.uncc.edu/min-jiang/> | Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/mindyjiang> | LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/minjiang> Associate Editor, Sage journal *Communication and the Public * Secretariat Member, Chinese Internet Research Conference (CIRC) CyberBRICS Visiting Professor, FGV Law School, Rio de Janeiro ________________________________________________________________ CyberBRICS: Cybersecurity Regulations in the BRICS Countries Edited by Dr. Luca Belli | Publisher: Springer | 2021 This book stems from the CyberBRICS project, which is the first major attempt to produce a comparative analysis of Internet regulations in the BRICS countries – namely, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The project has three main objectives: 1) to map existing regulations; 2) to identify best practices; and 3) to develop policy recommendations in the various areas that compose cybersecurity governance, with a particular focus on the strategies adopted by the BRICS countries to date. Each study covers five essential dimensions of cybersecurity: data protection, consumer protection, cybercrime, the preservation of public order, and cyberdefense.The BRICS countries were selected not only for their size and growing economic and geopolitical relevance but also because, over the next decade, projected Internet growth is expected to occur predominantly in these countries. Consequently, the technology, policy and governance arrangements defined by the BRICS countries are likely to impact not only the 3.2 billion people living in them, but also the individuals and businesses that choose to utilize increasingly popular applications and services developed in BRICS countries according to BRICS standards. Researchers, regulators, start-up innovators and other Internet stakeholders will find this book a valuable guide to the inner workings of key cyber policies in this rapidly growing region.

incentives
by Lauri Goldkind 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hello Researchers, I was wondering how people handle offereing a gift card incentive when a project is global in scope? We are planning on offering a $50 USD gift card but then I realized that one cannot use a US amazon or staples card outside of the US (yes, elementary, I realize). I wonder if any of you have offered a cash or cash-like incentive and how you distributed it to out-of-country participants. Thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
