CFP - OSNeHM 2023 (co-located with The Web Conf): Workshop on Online Social Networks in the Human-centric Metaverse
by Andrea Passarella 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ACM OSNeHM 2023 First International workshop on Online Social Networks in the Human-centric Metaverse co-located with The Web Conference 2023 Austin, Texas, USA APRIL 30 - MAY 4, 2023 https://osnehm.iit.cnr.it/ ******************************************************************** NEXT DEADLINES (all deadlines are AoE) ******************************************************************** 23rd January 2023: Abstract submission deadline 6th February 2023: Workshop paper submission deadline ******************************************************************** SUBMISSION LINK ******************************************************************** https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=thewebconf2023iwpd ******************************************************************** SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ The cyber and physical worlds are increasingly becoming indistinguishable. This is fostered by enabling technologies such as IoT and pervasive networks, advanced data management and analytics techniques, and advanced platforms with massive diffusion, chiefly among them Online Social Networks. Whatever we do in one world has immediate consequences on the other world, thanks to a constant flow of data - and online analytics - between the two worlds. In this context, the vision of the Metaverse provides additional perspectives, augmenting human interactions with things and other humans across the two worlds. The role of the humans in this socio-technical complex system is key, and still largely unexplored. Quite interestingly, while new tools characteristic of the cyber-physical world- OSN among them - have been designed to largely extend human capabilities, the real interplay between these tools and human behaviours and cognitive constraints often result in unexpected results. Therefore, while humans are in principle at the center of the cyber-physical convergence and, thus -- in the perspective -- of the Metaverse, the interplay between both worlds and the technical solutions underpinning this convergence are hitherto largely unexplored and yet to be understood. This is a big gap our community should feel, in order to develop cyber-physical worlds (and the Metaverse) as a truly human-centric environment. OSNeHM’s main theme will be the role of Online Social Networks in such a human-centric cyber-physical convergence leading to the Metaverse. It will provide a forum for discussion on early yet principled approaches and results on all aspects related to this theme. A special emphasis will be devoted to the characterisation of the individual and social behaviour of humans, using OSN as “big data microscopes” for collecting and analysing big data via robust big data analytics. Papers discussing solutions focusing on the interplay between social and technical (online and offline) worlds will be high welcome. On the other hand, the workshop will welcome papers proposing novel technical solutions to support human-centric approaches to the evolution of OSN in the perspective of the Metaverse. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * OSNeHM platforms, protocols and applications; * OSN and Metaverse services & applications; * Decentralised, mobile and location-based OSNeHM; * Trust, reputation, privacy and security in OSNeHM; * Dynamics of trends, information and opinion diffusion in OSNeHM; * Fake news, toxicity radicalization and disinformation in OSNeHM; * Detecting, modeling and tackling Online harms in OSNeHM; * Recommendations and advertising in OSNeHM; * Measurement, analysis and modeling of popular OSN (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, etc.), including decentralized ones (e.g., Mastodon, Pleroma, ...); * Data mining, and machine learning in OSNeHM systems; * Social media analysis and social analytics in the perspective of OSNeHM; * Information extraction and search in OSNeHM; * Complex-network analysis of OSNeHM; * Modeling of social behavior through OSN data; * Crowdsourcing and OSNeHM; * Multidisciplinary applications of OSNeHM (economics, medicine, society, politics, homeland security, psychology, etc.) PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers that have been previously published or are under review for another journal, conference or workshop will not be considered for publication. Submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages in length (maximum 8 pages for the main paper content + maximum 2 pages for appendixes + maximum 2 pages for references). Papers must be submitted in PDF format according to the ACM template published in the ACM guidelines, selecting the generic “sigconf” sample. The PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded.

Call for Proposals to host AoIR Flashpoint Symposiums in 2023
by Michelle, Association of Internet Researchers 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

To supplement our annual October conference, the Association of Internet Researchers is seeking proposals for a one-day AoIR Flashpoint Symposium to take place before the end of August 2023. As the 2023 AoIR conference takes place in Philadelphia, USA, only proposals for locations outside of North America will be considered. An AoIR Flashpoint Symposium is a small event that provides an opportunity to deepen or foster conversations about internet research among regions, groups, and/or thematic research areas that have thus far been underrepresented in the Association of Internet Researchers and its conferences. The Association is making available one grant of up to US$8,000 for the purpose of supporting a one-day symposium that will contribute to the life and mission of AoIR and feed into its annual conference. Each symposium will be a standalone event to take place in a region of the world that differs from that of the 2023 annual conference (Philadelphia, USA). Preference will be given to regions and locations where an AoIR conference has not yet been held, but where at least one active AoIR member, who will be on the Flashpoint Symposium planning committee, resides. We also require that the symposium makes a contribution to the main 2023 AoIR conference in some way (e.g., a panel, pre-conference workshop, or another format that presents key contributions and outcomes from the symposium). In addition to local participants, all AoIR members are invited to attend the Flashpoint Symposium. *Deadline for the submission of this proposal is 27 January 2023*, with a decision returned by the end of February 2023. Proposers are invited to engage in conversation with the AoIR symposium committee. Proposals should: - Be no more than 1-2 pages in length. - Outline a distinct issue or theme to be addressed by the symposium, and demonstrate how this theme has not been sufficiently addressed by AoIR conferences to date. - Include a proposed date (between 1 April and 31 August) and schedule for the one-day event, and identify potential keynote speakers (keeping in mind AoIR’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity <https://aoir.org/diversity-and-inclusivity/>). Note: the proposal should ideally not suggest parallel sessions but rather envision a day of consecutive sessions (i.e. a single stream only). - Include a brief description of the leadership team’s history with AoIR and their plans for future involvement. - Demonstrate how this Flashpoint Symposium will connect with AoIR more broadly. - Include a preliminary budget that demonstrates in-kind support and/or sponsorship from the host institution(s) and creates a preliminary plan for cost items. Please note that AoIR funding is not to be allocated for the funding of participant travel costs, staff costs in support of the symposium’s organization, or indirect costs (such costs must be borne by local sponsorship), but may include keynote honoraria, travel of keynote speakers, meals, venue or labor costs. - Indicate how regional and transnational graduate students will be encouraged to participate. - Include a discussion of projected outcomes from this symposium and its potential for ongoing benefit to AoIR more broadly (e.g., AoIR conference panel, special issue, etc.). A selection of organizers and delegates should make a firm commitment to present key contributions and outcomes from the Flashpoint Symposium at the year’s annual conference. AoIR’s commitment to the symposium will include: - Support for promotion and administration through our various channels and platforms (e.g. via organization social media accounts and email lists), as well as limited AoIR administrative support. - Up to $US8,000 disbursed in the form of reimbursements and invoices to cover costs related to organizing of the symposium. - Mentorship from members of AoIR Executive Committee related to the organization of the symposium and subsequent deliverables/outcomes. - Allocation of one session slot (panel, roundtable, fishbowl, experimental session, or pre-conference workshop) on the annual AoIR conference program to the symposium organizers. This session is invited and will be planned jointly by the symposium organizers, the AoIR Executive Committee, and the AoIR Conference organizers in order to present the symposium’s major themes and outcomes. It must involve several participants selected from among the organizers, keynote speakers, and/or other participants of the symposium in order to allow the symposium conversation to continue at the main annual conference. - An additional $US2,000 in travel awards to help bring a panel of Flashpoint participants to the AoIR conference in Philadelphia. (This cannot be reallocated for any other purpose.) Proposals will be ranked in relation to their ability to: - Advance AoIR’s goal of diversification of membership and the expansion of geographical presence at the annual AoIR conference. - Address a theme, topic, or issue not yet prominent in AoIR’s annual conferences. - Articulate a clear outcome that will foster conversation in the future. - Demonstrate a commitment to encouraging graduate student participation, particularly from those in the host region. - Demonstrate capacity for carrying out the symposium in a manner that contributes to the benefit of AoIR and the individual organizer(s). - Demonstrate a commitment to present outcomes at the annual AoIR conference. (This listing does not imply any ranking in the importance of these requirements.) AoIR will accept one symposium proposal in 2023. Submit your proposals to symposia(a)aoir.org by Friday, 27 January, 2023.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSALS ● For tutorials: https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-tutorials/ ● For workshops: https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-workshops/ WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ACM UMAP 2023, the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and which collect, represent, and model user information, is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore emerging areas of User Modeling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program comprising different workshop formats, combining newly emerging, currently evolving and established research topics. Different full-day and half-day workshop schemas are possible, such as: ● Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; participants may be asked to submit a white paper or position statement ● Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper submission and review processes ● Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual or team participation ● Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the UMAP general research topics ● Joint panels for different workshops We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit workshop proposals. Researchers interested in submitting a workshop proposal are invited to contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful proposals. In particular, for workshop proposals with novel interactive formats, we are happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas. We strongly suggest involving organizers from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative structure that may attract various types of contributions and may ensure rich interactions. The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web site containing the call for papers and detailed information about the workshop organization and timeline. They will be responsible for their own publicity and reviewing processes. There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all the workshop papers will be published. Hence, the workshop organizers will need to adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication timeline.
