New paper on Mastodon and platform governance
by Robert W Gehl 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Hello, all -- I normally don't promote pre-print papers, but fellow AOIR member Diana Zulli and I just learned that Information, Communication and Society is publishing our paper on Mastodon. It's pretty good timing, I think! The paper is titled "The Digital Covenant: Non-Centralized Platform Governance on the Mastodon Social Network." It's available as a pre-print in H-Commons: https://hcommons.org/deposits/item/hc:49433/ I'm hoping it helps the AOIR community better understand Mastodon (and the fediverse, more broadly) as members consider switching to that platform. I also hope that, if the fediverse turns out to be a viable area of research for AOIR, this paper can help spark more research into the particular ways in which these non-centralized systems engage in platform governance beyond the corporate social media model. Regards, Rob -- Robert W.

Nordic Digra: Uppsala 2023 keynote announcement
by Lina Eklund 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

We are proud to announce our first keynote for the Nordic DiGRA 2023 conference: Nick Taylor Nick Taylor is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at York University. He recently departed a 10-year stint in the Department of Communication at North Carolina State University, where he also served for two years as the Director of the interdisciplinary PhD program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media (CRDM). Nick's work combines critical, posthumanist, and ethnographic approaches to analyse the subjectivities, communities, and industries associated with professionalised leisure practices. Ongoing interests include, among other things, the gendered politics of place in new media industries (including gaming tournaments and industry conventions), and the media practices of artists and entrepreneurs who work with building blocks. This work has appeared in journals such as Convergence, Critical Studies in Media Communication, and New Media & Society. He is also the lead editor of Masculinities in Play (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), the first volume on the intersections of masculinities and games, and LEGOfied: Building Blocks as Media (Bloomsbury, 2020). If you want to participate in the conference and join us for the keynote, the deadline for submissions to Nordic DiGRA is the 18th of November, anywhere in the world.

IEEE WONS 2023 -- 18th Wireless On-demand Network systems and Services Conference -- Paper submission: 14 Nov. 2022
by Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE WONS 2023 18th IEEE Wireless On-demand Network systems and Services Conference 30th January - 1st February 2023, Madonna di Campiglio, Italy http://2023.wons-conference.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS VIRTUAL SPECIAL ISSUE The program will include very interesting keynotes by Prof. Carla Fabiana Chiassering (Distributed Learning: Recipes for High Performance and Sustainability) and Prof. Deniz Gunduz (On-Demand Intelligence at the Wireless Edge). The authors of selected papers from WONS 2023 edition will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to Elsevier Computer Communications for possible publication in a dedicated Virtual Special Issue (VSI). VSI submitted papers should extend significantly the original work offering additional contribution and insight to the community. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/computer-communications) IFIP BEST PAPER AWARD Together with the honor, this year Best Paper Award comes also with a monetary prize sponsored by IFIP. (https://www.ifip.org/) Wireless on-demand network systems and services have become mainstream technology, one that keeps shaping the networked world of the future. Different types of wireless LANs, both sub-6 GHz and in higher frequency bands, as well as such established technologies as Bluetooth LE, LTE-Direct, NFC, and optical links are the cornerstone of networking paradigms including NextG cellular, mesh and sensor networks, cloud networks, vehicular networks, non-terrestrial networks and in-body networks. The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. These include providing robust services in highly dynamic and extreme environments, how to minimize energy demands or zero out battery usage in favor of renewable energy sources, how to smartly blend multiple wireless technologies available to a network node (including across radically different bands), and how to make wireless on-demand networks and services self-configurable, adaptive, self-organizing, and self-healing in a wealth of different context, each exhibiting its own peculiar constraints. IFIP WONS, now at its eighteenth edition, has established itself as a high quality forum to address the above and related challenges. WONS 2023 aims at continuing to provide a global platform for rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing innovative contributions in a stimulating environment. This announcement solicits original contributions of high-quality research providing novel insights on all aspects of wireless on-demand networks and systems. Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to: 5G and 6G networks Cloud/edge/fog computing and networking Cognitive radio networks Cross-layer design Data analytics and ML/AI-driven network systems Heterogeneous wireless networks Joint communications, networking, and sensing Implementations and testbeds Internet of Things Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems Integration of different wireless technologies Localization and mobility management Mobile computing and services Network and service management Non-terrestrial (aerial, space, underwater, ...) networks Novel architectures, protocols, applications and services Open source software, open source hardware and open data Optical and visible light wireless networks Performance evaluation through simulations, emulations and real-world experiments Pervasive and ubiquitous computing Quantum computing and networking QoS and QoE aspects Security, privacy, and trust Social and economic aspects Sustainable networks and distributed ML/AI services Theoretical and data driven modeling and optimization Vehicular networks Wireless technologies for NextG networks (millimeter-wave, terahertz, ...) MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit double-column long papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file using the standard IEEE template, with a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions and ongoing work with visionary, innovative ideas; accepted short papers will be presented in a separate session at the conference and will be included in the conference proceedings. Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under review by another conference or journal. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 independent experts in the field, following a single-blind process. REVIEW PROCESS We will have at least 3 reviews per paper and we count on the TPC members to do the reviews themselves in order to ensure high quality and comprehensive reviews. VENUE - HOTEL CARLO MAGNO The conference will be hosted at the Hotel Carlo Magno SPA & Resort located in Madonna di Campiglio, Trento, Italy. The hotel welcomes guests to the world of snow-covered peaks of the Brenta Dolomites that are the backdrop for the splendid area comprising Madonna di Campiglio. Just a few steps away from the hotel visitors can find lifts and run for cross-country skiing. With the wondrous view of the Dolomites you can experience the magic of a pure and uncontaminated nature. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to reserve a room at a special rate.
