*** THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS *** 2018 European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI 2018) Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus, 12-14 November, 2018 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… Ambient intelligence refers to normal working and living environments being surrounded by embedded devices that can merge unobtrusively and in natural ways using information and intelligence hidden in the network connecting these devices (e.g. The Internet of Things). Such devices, each specialised in one or more capabilities, are intended to work together based on an infrastructure of intelligent systems, to provide a variety of services improving safety, security and the quality of life in ordinary living, travelling and working environments. ABOUT AMI 2018 The 2018 European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI 2018) has a focus on the role of Ambient Intelligence "Towards a Smart and Human Centered Internet of Things". We invite submissions of full and short papers as well as posters, presenting original research. AmI 2018 is an interdisciplinary venue for leading international researchers, designers, and practitioners that present and discuss new results in Ambient Intelligence. AmI builds on the success of thirteen predecessor conferences, which started in 2003 with the EUSAI-event in Veldhoven, The Netherlands. More information about the AmI series can be found here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… .

Laboratory Studies?
by Jenny Davis 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi All- I have a PhD student in sociology doing laboratory experiments with a focus on the effects of social media on identity processes. She is currently designing her methodology and would like some literature help. Do people have suggestions of really well designed studies that examine social media in a laboratory setting? They do not have to address issues of identity. She is mostly interested in how they implemented laboratory methodologies. Thanks in advance! Jenny Jenny L.

I work on memes as literary criticism. I have a chapter on memes which evaluate the first Hobbit movie in _Hobbit and Tolkien's Mythology_ ( https://www.amazon.com/Hobbit-Tolkiens-Mythology-Revisions-Influences-ebook…) and another about Harry Potter memes ("Harry Potter and the Unexpected Venue of Literary Critique") in _Transforming Harry: The Adaptation of Harry Potter in the Transmedial Age_ ( https://www.amazon.com/Transforming-Harry-Adaptation-Transmedia-Contemporar… ).

Call for Submissions: Teaching and Research with Archives (June 15, 2018 Deadline)
by Communication ＠JITP 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

*The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy, *a peer-reviewed open-access academic journal, is now open for submissions for its special 14th issue <https://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id…> on* Teaching and Research with Archives*, with a deadline of *June 15, 2018*. This issue will be co-edited by Jojo Karlin, (CUNY Graduate Center), Stephen Klein, (Digital Service Librarian, CUNY Graduate Center), and Danica Savonick (CUNY Graduate Center). Digital technologies have prompted renewed attention to archival research and teaching practices, creating new opportunities for engaging primary sources, while also raising ethical questions about how archives are created, organized, shared, accessed, and preserved. For this themed issue, JITP seeks scholarly work exploring how archival technologies and methodologies influence teaching, learning, and research. How do scholars locate authoritative information and guarantee continued access in the current media landscape? How do we teach undergraduate students best methods for performing archival research and evaluating sources presented digitally? Other topics can include, but are not exclusive to: - the use of digital technologies and techniques to facilitate archival research and construction - pedagogies of archival research in the undergraduate classroom - collaborations among faculty, archivists, and students - explorations of access, equity, sustainability, integration, and preservation - relationships among archives, institutions, and publics - the ethics of archival research methods - the place of archives (public, academic, digital) - material intersections of administration, preservation, and dissemination We invite and encourage both textual and multimedia (please see these guidelines) <https://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id…> submissions employing interdisciplinary and creative approaches in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Besides scholarly papers, the submissions can consist of audio or visual presentations and interviews, dialogues, or conversations; creative/artistic works; manifestos; or other scholarly materials. All work appearing in JITP is reviewed by the issue editors and independently by two scholars in the field who provide formative feedback to the author(s) during the review process. We practice signed, as opposed to blind, peer review. We intend that the journal itself—both in our process and in our digital product—serve as an opportunity to reveal, reflect on, and revise academic publication and classroom practices. As a courtesy to our reviewers, we will not consider simultaneous submissions, but we will do our best to reply to you within three months of the submission deadline. The expected length for finished manuscripts is under 5,000 words. All work should be original and previously unpublished. Essays or presentations posted on a personal blog may be accepted, provided they are substantially revised; *please contact us with any questions at * editors(a)jitpedagogy.org. For further information on style and formatting, accessibility requirements, and multimedia submissions, consult JITP’s accessibility guidelines <https://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id…>, style guide <https://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id…> and multimedia submission guidelines <https://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id…> . *Important Dates* The submission deadline for full manuscripts is *June 15, 2018*. Please view our submission guidelines <https://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id…> for information about submitting to the Journal.
