Ahead of the AI misinformation curve: let’s talk visual AI literacy – an online public panel 30 May 1-2.30pm BST . Attendance is free but registration is required https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ahead-of-the-ai-misinformation-curve-lets-ta… Recent advances in visual generative AI have made it increasingly easy to produce convincing synthetic images and videos, raising urgent questions about truth, trust, and perception in the digital age. To better deal with social and political effects of visual AI, it is imperative to develop visual AI literacy – the ability to recognise and evaluate AI images, understand the process of their creation and the biases it might involve, and use such images critically and responsibly. To learn more about what is needed to foster visual AI literacy, join us at the online panel withNational Literacy Trust- the UK’s leading organisation to support children and young people’s literacy including AI literacy;Full Fact- a UK based team of independent fact checkers, using AI tools to combat misinformation; andTactical Tech- a Berlin-based, European non-profit organisation supporting digital literacy. The panel is part of DISC (Digital Society) Research Group and its AI Literacies initiative, and is led by Dr Adi Kuntsman, Jessica Elias and Dr Sam Martin. It is part of the public engagement 2025 project, “Ahead of the AI’s misinformation curve: let’s talk visual AI literacy”, supported by AHEAD - Arts and Humanities Engagement And Dialogue) is the public engagement programme of theFaculty of Arts and Humanities at Manchester Metropolitan University. -------- Dr Adi Kuntsman, Reader in Digital Politics Head of Ethics, Faculty of Arts and Humanities Co-Lead, Digital Society Research Group Director, Digital Politics Summer School Department of History, Politics and Philosophy Manchester Metropolitan University

16 May '25

*** Last Call for Journal First Papers *** 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025 The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to present and discuss the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the field of software architecture research and practice. The 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus). ECSA 2025 enriches its partnership with more journals and opportunities than ever before, to incorporate journal-first papers into its program. The journals are: - Journal of Systems and Software (JSS) - IEEE Software - Information & Software Technology (IST) - Transaction on Software Engineering (TSE) We invite authors of journal papers accepted by JSS, IEEE Software, IST, or TSE since December 1, 2023 to submit their work for presentation at ECSA 2025, which will allow authors of journal-first papers to present their work to the community. SCOPE A journal-first paper submitted to ECSA 2025 must adhere to the following criteria: • The paper must have been accepted after peer review by one between JSS, IEEE Software, IST or TSE. • The paper is in the scope of the conference. • The paper has not been presented at and is not under consideration for journal-first programs of other conferences. PAPER SUBMISSION We invite authors of papers that meet the above criteria to submit a proposal that includes a summary of the original paper that highlights the contributions, motivates the relevance for the ECSA, and briefly discusses how the work has developed after the original publication - if it is the case. Please include the DOI of the original journal paper. ECSA offers an opportunity to disseminate your work to a broader community audience. The submission must be 3-4 pages long and conform to the Springer LNCS style (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) Accepted submissions will be invited to present at the conference. The track chairs will write a summary of the accepted submissions that will be included in the conference proceedings. Proposals must be submitted via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2025 conference, selecting the "Journal First" Track: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ecsa2025 . EVALUATION Authors will be invited to present their paper at ECSA 2025 if it meets the above criteria. Please note that we plan to include as many journal-first papers as possible in the ECSA main program. However, if we receive an exceptionally high number of submissions, we may have to prioritize presentation proposals according to their fit to the conference theme and sessions structure. As the papers have already been reviewed and accepted by a journal, we will not review the submission for technical content; instead, we will focus on the track’s criteria. PRESENTATION ECSA 2025 is planned to be an in-person/physical conference. The journal-first paper presentations are part of the ECSA conference’s main program. As a journal-first presenter, you will benefit from the conference presentation in many ways, such as, outreach to a broader audience and interactions and discussions with peers. At least one author of each submission accepted for the journal-first program must register and attend the conference to present the paper. IMPORTANT DATES • Paper submission: May 23, 2025 • Acceptance notification: June 20, 2025 All dates are 23:59h AoE (anywhere on Earth). ORGANISATION General Chairs • Cesare Pautasso, University of Lugano, Switzerland • Vasilios Andrikopoulos, University of Groeningen, The Netherlands Journal First Track Chairs • Jesper Andersson, Linnaeus University, Sweden • Romina Spalazzese, Malmö University, Sweden

The 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus). The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a supportive setting in which PhD students can present and receive feedback on their research. During the symposium, PhD students will interact closely with established researchers in the field, receive feedback on their research, and get advice on managing their research. The symposium will also help participants to establish a network with their peers in the field of software architecture. The program will feature a keynote that will shed light on establishing yourself within the software architecture community and beyond. The technical scope of the Doctoral Symposium is that of ECSA 2025, as represented by the topics in the ECSA 2025 Call for Papers CfP. Besides, we particularly encourage submissions that demonstrate that diversity in gender, culture, religion, country, etc. is a key factor for success and innovation in software architecture. We encourage submissions from PhD students at any stage of their research. Based on the submissions, the program committee will invite the PhD students to give presentations of their PhD research and to interact with senior as well as other junior researchers. SUBMISSION To participate in the Doctoral Symposium, the contribution needs to be submitted by the submission deadline consisting of two parts: a research summary paper and a letter of recommendation. The summary research paper should be authored by the student as a sole author. Research summary paper (max 8 pages) The research summary paper must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 (page limit includes references and appendixes) and should cover the following aspects: • the research problem to be solved and its relevance in the software architecture field; • a discussion of related work explaining why the research problem has not been solved yet; • the scientific methods used to tackle the research problem; • an outline of the proposed solution; • the expected results; • a plan for the evaluation of results; and • a critical reflection on the work, including open questions and challenges that the PhD student meets in his/her work, and that can be discussed with the senior colleagues. The submitted paper will be evaluated by the Doctoral Symposium Program Committee, and the following selection criteria will be used: • The originality of the proposed research, the novelty of the research approach, and relevance to ECSA; and • the quality of the submission, including clarity, precision, and adequacy of the problem statement and critical reflection of the work, in relation to the PhD student’s study stage.

The Internet Governance Forum has been, in the past, often given the sobriquet of “a talk shop”. During the WSIS+10 Review, the APC performed *an analysis <https://www.apc.org/sites/default/files/IGF%20Outputs%20report_from_APC_010…>* of concrete decisions or actions that have been taken as a result of engagement at national, regional and global Internet Governance Forum. Since the WSIS+10 recommended that more “Concrete Outcomes” were needed from the IGF, a number of processes including the publication of formal messages from each IGF as well as the IGF High Level Panel were implemented. Today, many examples abound where the dialogue started at IGF and ended up with concrete outcomes including discussions that moved to specialised fora and agencies. Linking workshops and the IGF Processes to SDGs was also a significant step into making sure the IGF discussions led to advances in the world’s sustainable development. This session looked at the specific case of Core Internet Values. From its first workshop in Sharm el Sheikh 2009 (Workshop on Fundamentals: Core Internet Values) until today, the DC-CIV has been refining the list of Core Internet Values and this, along with work undertaken by other organizations, has led to the widespread comprehension that there are indeed some Internet fundamentals which make the Internet what it is and what it will continue to be. But what and how can more be done? *HOSTSOlivier Crépin-Leblond (*in person) *Pari Esfandiari *(remote) * <https://youtu.be/E1aahhpmNj4>* - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

by Zeena Feldman 14 May '25

14 May '25

Hi folks, One last call to join us next week for the book launch of Technoskepticism: Between Possibility and Refusal (Stanford University Press, 2025). When: Wed 21 May 2025 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM Where: King's College London, Bush House, room BH (NE) 1.03 Registration: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/digitalhumanitieskcl/1659637 The DISCO Network comes to London to consider three strands of technoskepticism: the first focused on disability, the creative use of wellness apps, and the desire for diagnosis; the second on digital nostalgia and home for Black and Asian users who produced communities online before home pages gave way to profiles; and the third focused on the violence inherent in A.I.-generated Black bodies and the possibilities for Black style in the age of A.I. Acknowledging how the urge to refuse new technologies emerges from specific racialised histories, the authors will also consider how care can look like an exuberant embrace of the new. Please note this is a hybrid event. Guests are invited to join us in-person in London or online via MS Teams. Online attendees will be emailed a Teams link 24 hours before the event. Warm wishes, Zeena Dr Zeena Feldman (she/her) Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Digital Culture Director, Queer@King’s<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/queeratkings> King’s College London Department of Digital Humanities<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/ddh/about/about> The Strand, Chesham Building, 0.03 London WC2R 2LS zeena.feldman(a)kcl.ac.uk https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/dr-zeena-feldman
