What is Communication? (20210 Remote • Speaker Series
by Janet Wasko 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

WHAT IS…? COMMUNICATION April 19 & 22 • May 6, 13 & 20, 2021 University of Oregon | Remote • Speaker Series What is Communication? (2021) will investigate instantiations and permutations of communication via models of exchange, modes of inquiry, and meanings of community. While communication has been conceptualized as models of transportation, transmission, and ritual, communication is also characterized by modes of sharing, imparting, connecting, and participating. These characteristics can contribute to democracy, as well as facilitating the commons and community/fellowship. Communication is sensorial, including the auditory, visual, kinesthetic, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, and interoceptive, and can involve humans, nonhumans, plants, and/or machines. Most importantly, communication imbues meanings—experiences/cultures, languages/ideas, feelings/emotions, interactions/transactions, politics/economics, situations/contexts, and networks/environments. This year’s event takes a problem-solving approach to communication by examining systems of networks and flows, gender and ICT4D, surveillance and algorithms, platforms and democracies, familial commonalities and ecological interdependencies. What is Communication? (2021) builds on the previous two years’ gatherings. What is Technology? (2019) examined practical arts and tools, techniques and processes, moral knowledge and imagination, as well as technology as intelligent inquiry and problem-solving. What is Information? (2020) investigated tapestries, temperaments, and topologies of the mathematical and semantic, physical and biological, cultural and environmental, economic and political, as well as information’s transformational æffects. This year marks the eleventh annual What is...? and the sixth collaboration with scholars from the natural sciences, social sciences and arts. The series continues to enact a collaborative network of transdisciplinary research, cultivating communication as the heart of nature and society. Keynotes: • Monday, April 19, 2021 • 9:00-10:00am PT [NOTE: Different day of week and time than others below.] Elihu Katz, Sociology and Anthropology, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Yonatan Fialkoff, Smart Family Institute, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel “How Did Mass Become Network?” • Thursday, April 22, 2021 • 12:00-1:00pm PT H.

Dear All, Thank you very much for sharing the AI references with me! I quickly go through some of the articles you suggested. Indeed, individual and organizational use of AI technologies have attracted much scholarly attention. Based on what I learned in my discipline, I feel it’s important to explore privacy and data security issues related to organizational use of AI technologies. It's also interesting to examine the impacts of AI. I will be happy to do more research about AI in the future. Thank you for your help! Have a nice weekend!

A Question About Twitter Suspensions
by Stuart Shulman 03 Apr '21

03 Apr '21

When I try to display Tweets from December 2017 with clear QAnon signals (hashtags, buzzwords, other markers) many return the message "cannot display tweet - account is suspended," which makes sense given what we are living through. However, I then go search for some of those same suspended Twitter handles and find while some are indeed suspended, others are not suspended. Some usernames with hundreds of thousands of tweets that go back to 2011, and were spreading #QAnon, #TheStormIsHere, #WhoIsQ, and #FollowTheWhiteRabbit and related content between December 8-12, 2017, are alive and well on Twitter. I have not seen this before and I cannot explain it. My question is: Can a Twitter account show as suspended for certain content on the same day it is live with older and more recent content? Have others encountered this? Can an account suspension be revoked or else applied to only certain content? One example of many I ran into today: I have a record of a Q-centric Tweet from a suspended account but the account itself is in fact live and following current other live Q-related accounts that also are not suspended. It follows only 72 accounts (a dazzling collection of Q-related conspiracy experts) but has almost 5,000 heavily MAGA-leaning followers, which takes a certain Internet dexterity to achieve. Is there a good paper out there on the legal and procedural actions related to suspended, semi-suspended, or suspended but then restored Twitter users?

This research includes the design, experimental evaluation and standardization of new ICT scalable systems and in-silico systems for new and future inclusive and sustainable technologies that benefit all: healthy people, people with disabilities or other impairments, people having chronic diseases, etc. User-centered design and innovation, new intuitive ways of human -computer interaction, and user acceptance are the topics of particular interest. Conference Topics Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following: · AI and Cognition, Cognitive Mechatronics, Human-Machine Interaction, Cobotics, Model-based design and configuration tools for healthcare and well-being, AI methods for medical device testing · Systems for management of health and care (mental health, pain, neurological disorders, sight, hearing, balance, space awareness; sensory based physiological and psychological non-invasive measurements, preventive healthcare, m-healthcare, e-healthcare, integrated care, serious games, electronic health record, self-management, patient-centered systems for survivorship, palliation and/or end-of-life care) · Precision medicine · ICT for in-silico trials · Implantable medical devices · Computational methods for medical device · Models for human-device interaction for medicine · Systems promoting access to the socio-economical and cultural environment · Age-friendly systems for active and healthy aging (telepresence, robotics solutions, innovative solutions for independent living, innovative elderly care, integrated care, age-related risks prevention/detection) · Multimodal assistive ICT devices to empower people with sensory, cognitive, motor, balance and spatial impairments · ICT systems to improve the quality of life and for daily life activities assistance (education, recreation, and nutrition) · Smart living homes and wearables (Intelligent and personalized digital solutions for sustaining and extending healthy and independent living; personalized early risk detection and intervention) · New experimental validation methods with end-users · Standardization, certification, labeling, privacy, security and communication issues (related to aging well, to sensory impairment) High-quality original submissions that address such future issues, show the design and evaluation in (near-) real scenarios, explain how to benchmark systems, and outline the education and training procedures for acquiring new perceptual skills while using such systems are welcome. Research and technical papers are expected to present significant and original contributions validated with the targeted end-users. Early works and works- in-progress are invited to submit a short or demo paper. Submissions should clearly state the progress beyond the existing state-of- the-art and the expected societal benefits of the developed technology. When possible, validate scenarios with the target user groups and well-identified technology readiness levels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_readiness_level) should be at least outlined. Submissions We invite three types of paper submissions: 1. Research and Technical papers, up to 15 pages, describing original unpublished research, making a substantial contribution to the research field 2. Short papers, up to 6 pages, describing original unpublished research, making a small but solid contribution to the field 3.
