New Article on Digital Methods: Shared screens, shared lives: theorizing screencapture as method in a postdigital age
by Garg, Rabani 02 Jun '25

02 Jun '25

Sharing our latest paper, in which Dr. Amy Stornaiuolo<https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-stornaiuolo-28012813/> and I offer three approaches to researchers to study ways people work with/across screens: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17439884.2025.2502508 Abstract: This paper discusses critical and participatory approaches to screencapture to account for the layered, embodied, and mobile ways people work with/across screens in a postdigital era. While screencapture methods have been a mainstay of multimodal, video-based research in education, there has been less theorizing of screens as active participants in broader sociotechnical assemblages. In this paper, we theorize screencapture from a sociomaterial lens that frames all activity as comprised of human and technological actors acting as dynamic participants in sociotechnical systems. We propose three approaches to screencapture – self-generated screencapture video, researcher-generated screencapture, and elicited screencapture – as a heuristic for researchers to look at and not through screens. Through three case study examples of each approach to screencapture, we trace five critical considerations: ethics, positionality, ephemerality, layering, and co-construction. These critical considerations emerge differently across the three approaches to screencapture, helping researchers challenge extractive or voyeuristic procedures for recording screens in educational research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ■ AI for Software Testing and Testing of AI: the growing interest in the use of AI has also spread in to various aspects of software testing. In addition, work is underway to test and validate AI systems/applications (machine learning, expert systems, neural networks). ■ Aspects of testing: test derivation, test selection, test generation, test coverage, test concretization, test implementation and execution, test result analysis, test oracle, verdict computation, test management, active testing and passive testing, monitoring and runtime verification. ■ Testing new technologies: this year we encourage submissions focused on testing Large Language Models (LLMs), audit machine learning systems (especially for applications to Health) and Quantum systems (programs, computers, and simulators). ■ Diversity on testing: diverse generation, selecting diverse test suites, foundations of testing and diversity, applications of entropy and Kolmogorov complexity on test suite diversity. ■ Theoretical approaches: formalisms (such as automata, state machines, process algebra, logics, Markov-chains...), testing frameworks, results for compositionality, refinement, soundness and completeness, addressing complex systems, heterogeneous or hybrid systems. ■ Modelling languages (such as UML, MATLAB, Simulink, Modelica...) and associated tooling for model-based testing: test generation from models, model-based oracles. Scalability, traceability, quantification issues. Automated support of any parts of the testing activities, testing processes, test-driven development, sound metrics and measurements. ■ Testing of quality aspects: Functional, interoperability, unit, integration, performance, load, conformance, non-regression, reliability, robustness. ■ Security Testing: methodologies and techniques for continuous security assessment, security monitoring, security review, penetration testing, verification of certification compliance; automation of security testing processes. ■ Testing emerging technologies: quantum systems (programs, computers, and simulators), genetic algorithms, metaverse, and any other technology in the early stages of testing. ■ Human Aspects of Testing: human psychology and management attitude play major roles in formulating and adopting testing in practice. ■ Cross domains and combination of techniques: using other techniques such as proof, model-checking, symbolic execution, abstract interpretation, static analysis, simulation, model learning, ... to improve quality and reduce the effort in testing processes. ■ Cross domains and combination of techniques: using other techniques such as proof, model-checking, symbolic execution, abstract interpretation, static analysis, simulation, model learning, machine learning, expert systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms... to improve quality and reduce the effort in testing processes. ■ Application aspects and case studies: Communicating systems such as cyberphysical systems, systems of systems, embedded systems, web services systems, smart grids, cloud computing systems, business information systems, real-time systems, distributed and concurrent systems. Case studies and industrial applications involving qualified empirical evaluations. IFIP-ICTSS Invites: Full papers (12 to 15 pages plus at most 2 extra pages for references in the one-column Springer LNCS format) describing original research contributions with sufficient evidence for the interest of the proposed approach. Industry papers (12 to 15 pages plus at most 2 extra pages for references in the one-column Springer LNCS format) describing original research or experience report conducted within an industrial environment or in collaboration with an industry partner. Short papers or work-in-progress papers (up to 6 pages plus at most 1 extra page for references in the one-column Springer LNCS format) describing academic work in progress or tool implementations, as well as testing processes, achievements and feedback on testing methods for industrial case studies. Journal-First. The aim of the Journal-First (JF) submission category is to further enrich the program of ICTSS, as well as to provide an overall more flexible path to publication and dissemination of original research that is within the scope of ICTSS. A submission in this category must adhere to the following criteria: ■ It should be clearly within the scope of the conference. ■ It should be recent: it should have been accepted and made publicly available in a journal (online or in print) by January 1, 2023 or more recently. ■ It has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, Journal- First tracks of other conferences or workshops. ■ The submission has to be in the form of a 4-page extended abstract and has to provide a concise summary of the published journal paper. ■ It must be marked as such in the submission’s, and must explicitly include full bibliographic details (including a DOI) of the journal publication they are based on. Since the referenced journal papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the corresponding journals, submissions in the JF category will not be reviewed again for technical content. Submissions will be judged on the basis of the above criteria, but also considering how well they would complement the conference’s technical program. Accepted submissions in this category will be part of the proceedings of ICTSS 2025, with the title equal to the original title of the article with the prefix. The submission link is: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ictss2025 The papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS volume.

Greetings, The deadline has been extended to *June 8th, 2025. * If you missed the deadline, you now have until about a week to submit a book chapter for an edited volume we're working on ("Alternative Truths: The Power of Social Media and Disinformation in Far-Right Fascism") for Routledge's *Far-Right and Fascism* series. This volume examines how the far-right movement uses alternative media (e.g., Gab and Truth Social) alongside mainstream platforms like Facebook and X/Twitter, and how this impacts the public by spreading disinformation and fostering acceptance of fascist ideologies. *You can find more information at the following* link: https://networks.h-net.org/system/files/attachments/cfp-alt-techfascism_0.p… Best, Kat Fuller
