*** Last Call for Student Travelling Support *** 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces IUI 2017 St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus March 13-16, 2017 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… Following the tradition of previous years, we will offer student participation support provided by SIGCHI to attend the IUI Conference. This support is in the form of a small stipend to cover the registration fee and partially cover the costs of travel and living expenses while attending the conference. The students will be reimbursed for their expenses after the conference. All students who get travel grants from SIGCHI must send us a paragraph about their experience and a headshot before they will be reimbursed. You must be a member of SIGCHI before you apply ($19 dues). The objective of IUI's student support is to encourage students interested in subjects related to Intelligent User Interfaces to become active members of the IUI community. To apply, the student should be actively enrolled as a student in an academic institution. Priority will be given to students who are first authors of accepted papers and to participants in the doctoral consortium. Recipients of the stipend are also expected to help the conference organization as student volunteers. The level of support will be determined by the availability of funds and the number of eligible applications. The application should include: 1. Full name 2. Email address 3. The school you are attending, your major, and the country in which the school resides 4. If you will present at the conference, please provide the title of the submission and its type (e.g., research paper, student consortium, demo). Please note if you have submitted but have not found out if your submission has been accepted 5. A short statement describing your research interests and how you wish to benefit from attending this conference 6. The location you are flying from and the cost for your airfare, as determined by the availability of low-cost economy fares for travel to the conference. Please describe any other expenses you expect to accrue, but do not include registration and housing costs, as they are similar for all students 7. A letter of recommendation from your thesis or doctoral advisor (or supervising faculty member) sent separately by email to the Student Consortium Co-Chairs. If you are also applying to the Student Consortium, one appropriately worded recommendation letter can be used for both applications, or you may submit a slightly different letter for each application 8. You must be a member of SIGCHI before you apply The application The SSTG application has two parts: an application form that is submitted by the student; and a letter of support from the student's advisor that the student will attach to his or her application. More information and a link for submitting an application (available a month before the deadline, early July 2016) can be found on the SIGCHI website (http://www.sigchi.org/conferences/funding/student-travel-grant) Submit your single, combined PDF (except letter of recommendation, must be a separate PDF to attach to the application) to PCS by the deadline! The application round opens in early July, create an account/login to PCS, and look for the submission link under SIGCHI. Deadline for applications for student support: August 1st, 2016. Notification of Results: August 15th, 2016.

22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2017): First Call for Tutorial Proposals
by Announce Announcements 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

*** First Call for Tutorial Proposals *** 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces IUI 2017 St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus March 13-16, 2017 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… Overview ACM IUI 2017 is the 22nd annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned 5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. IUI 2017 is pleased to invite tutorial proposals. Tutorials offer the community an opportunity to learn about the state-of-the-art concepts and techniques and allow the presenters to share their expertise. We invite proposals from active researchers and experienced presenters. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research and development in a specific area strongly related to IUI. Tutorials on interdisciplinary areas, novel or fast growing directions, and significant practical applications are also encouraged. Each accepted tutorial will receive one free IUI 2017 registration. Submission Guidelines The proposals should be PDF documents not exceeding 3 pages, submitted by e-mail to the tutorial chairs at: workshop2017(a)iui.acm.org. We encourage prospective presenters to contact the tutorial chairs in advance and discuss their tutorial ideas. Each tutorial proposal should provide the following information: · Name and title: Your name, the tutorial title and the expected length of your tutorial (up to half a day). · Description of tutorial topic and goal: Detailed outline of the tutorial, along with descriptions of the objectives, its relevance to IUI, benefits to the attendees, and course materials/handouts (links to online materials encouraged). · Organizers: Name, email address, and affiliation of each presenter. Note that each listed presenter must register for the conference and be present at the tutorial. · Target audience and prerequisites: Target audience level (introductory, intermediate, advanced) and prerequisite knowledge or skills. · Experience: Tutors' short bios and their expertise related to the tutorial, including history of previously given tutorials. · Equipment and software requirement: please list any that will be needed. Important Dates · Tutorial Proposals: October 21, 2016 · Decisions Sent: November 21, 2016 Tutorials Co-Chairs · Shlomo Berkovsky, CSIRO, Australia · Bart Kninijnburg, Clemson University, USA

suggestions for movies on communication technology and social change
by Paul Henman 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Dear colleagues I am teaching a course on media, culture and society, and am introducing a new assessment piece - a movie review. I am going to give students a selection of movies to choose from that have as a key element the role of communications technologies (including social media) on social change, social relations and identify. I have already identified the following: * Her - on operating systems and the self * The Truman Show - on reality tv and public/private nexus * The Enemy of the State - on surveillance technologies * You've got mail (maybe) - on email and relationships * Good morning Vietnam (maybe) - on radio and community building I welcome any other suggestions and commendations. They can be old technologies, current or predicted new ones (ie sci fi).

Maybe Off-topic: Ageism and Media
by NQ 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Hello, This may be a bit off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone on this list knows of an expert/researcher who's looked at ageism in the media, more specifically negative stereotypes of older people in media representations, including countries other than the US. If so, could you please forward some names to me? I am looking for a speaker to propose for a US event in New York. Thanks, Nelida

To: Melissa Densmore <melissa.r.densmore(a)gmail.com> Submit to AfriCHI Workshops! View this email in your browser <http://us13.campaign-archive2.com/?u=661d992f33fc276dd7cb159c8&id=539453b89…> Apply to Workshops! *AfriCHI 2016 Workshops are currently open for submission.* While dates for individual workshops are in the process of being finalized, all workshops will be held on 21, 22, and 23 November. *HCI Living Curriculum (Deadline: 15 August)* The results of a study on HCI education in 2014 prompted the proposal to create a living curriculum that responds to the needs of multiple stakeholders. A workshop held during CHI 2014 signaled coalescence in the requirements for the establishment of said curriculum. This workshop seeks to further explore among multiple diverse HCI educators on how to proceed with the establishment of an HCI living curriculum that integrates different cultural contexts and requirements. The envisaged outcome is a plan to proceed with the creation of such a culturally sensible living curriculum/a and its implementation. For more information and CFP visit http://bit.ly/29MTNlW <http://africhi.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=661d992f33fc276dd7cb159c…> *Social Media Usage in Africa and its Ethical Implications (Deadline: 15 August)* African users are continuously signing onto Social Media and it has become a game changer within the communication system. Most importantly the research on Social Media has become a topic of tremendous interest within the Human Computer interaction (HCI) field. Despite the benefits of Social Media, there have been concerns among users, communities, academics, researchers and governments on the ethical implications of Social Media use. We plan to have a workshop on understanding the ethical implications and perspectives of Social Media use from various stakeholders. Researchers in the Social Media space can share their work and methods in order to gain a broader under-standing of Social Media issues arising on the continent and specifically ethical implications. Finally the workshop aims to encourage collaboration and cross-cultural research among researcher in the space. For more information, please see http://bit.ly/socialmediaethicsworkshop_africhi <http://africhi.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=661d992f33fc276dd7cb159c…> *Designing Mobile Interaction for Low-Literacy (D-MILL) (Deadline: **passed - stay tuned**)* This workshop will provide a forum and an opportunity for researcher, practitioners, and designers to discuss and share ideas on interaction design knowledge for low-literacy. In this one-day workshop, we aim to: (1) explore perspectives of interaction design knowledge for low-literacy and (2) establish a common ground to develop a reusable design advice for low-literacy. Both objectives aim towards creating a community that consists both the HCI4D researcher, practitioners and designers that have shared understanding and leverage the use of interaction design knowledge. For more information about this workshop visit https://africhidmill.wordpress.com <http://africhi.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=661d992f33fc276dd7cb159c…> *Decolonising Technology Design (Deadline: 10 August)* This one-day workshop considers responses and creates alternatives to practices that produce asymmetries between colonised and colonising peoples and imagines a decolonised technology design. It introduces postcolonial and anti-colonial approaches to the cultural legacies of colonialism and imperialism, that frame contemporary technology design, with a special emphasis on African theory and practice. Equally, it is a forum for sharing experiences about uneven socio-economic, political or onto-epistemic relations in technology design and actions that respond to, or resist, these. For more information about this workshop visit http://decolonisingtechnology.kagonya.net <http://africhi.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=661d992f33fc276dd7cb159c8…> *Harnessing the Power of Digital Mobile Maps in Africa (Deadline: 28 July)* Africa has experienced an explosive growth of smartphones– particularly sub-Saharan Africa where growth rates are more than twice the global average. Such mobile devices provide new ways for technologies to help people discover and interact with their physical worlds. In particular, harnessing the power of digital mobile maps in Africa has the opportunity to transform lives by providing greater access to information, goods, and services that exist in people’s physical worlds. Despite this potential, there are a number of challenges and opportunities to doing so that are unique to Africa’s culture, infrastructure, and physical landscape. The goal of this workshop is to engage in creative ideation around this topic in order to create a series of innovative designs and to build out a research agenda that would push forward the design and development of such technologies. Visit the website <http://africhi.us13.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=661d992f33fc276dd7cb159c…> for more information. *Gumzo: new dialogues in HCI (Deadline: 23 July)* Gumzo at AfriCHI’16 is a one-day workshop which aims to advance HCI by engaging design practice and scholarship with diverse voices and local or broader creativity, challenging dominant perspectives and raising critical issues about technology, society and participation in technology production. In Gumzo sessions, HCI practitioners, cholars, ethnographers, designers,storytellers, artists, performers and film-makers (and/or designers or researchers who collaborate with them) present original works, ideas and insights that relate technology and Africa, and reflect on the role of audio-visual media and performance in conveying knowledge about technology and design. We also plan to foreground the difficulties for designers and users who need to deal with the unequal global hierarchies of language and culture which inform the development of technologies. To submit a paper to this workshop, download our CFP here <http://africhi.us13.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=661d992f33fc276dd7cb159c…> . *LEDz and Cocktailsz (Deadline: stay tuned!)* This workshop will explore the use of low cost materials to stimulate ideas for introducing technology education in low resource communities in the African Region using HCI methods. We will begin with a tutorial for crafting together paper circuits using LEDs, copper tape, and a coin cell battery. Participants will follow along with the workshop leaders and be encouraged to use what they have learned to design their own custom paper card circuits for children in a local Kenyan hospital. Following the design session, the workshop leaders will open the floor up for discussion on alternative methods for teaching technology education in low resource communities in order to broaden participation and perception of the field. To participate, please register for the workshop when you register for AfriCHI.

suggestions for movies on media governance?
by Becky Lentz 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Dear colleagues, I¹m collecting ideas for films (features, documentaries, Ted Talks, etc.) for an undergraduate course I teach on media governance. The course is organized broadly around the notion of the commons (http://www.onthecommons.org/) and features the roles of actors in three intersecting categories: private industry, government, and the third sector. Modules include the information/knowledge commons, the spectrum commons, the telecom commons, the software/hardware commons, and the internet commons. Would love to get suggestions for media to introduce each module. Feel free to email me off list (preferable). Many thanks, B.
