Evgeniya, While not yet published, may I suggest research that was accepted for AoIR 12.0? Unfortunately, finances prevented me from presenting the research in Seattle, but after reading your question, I thought my study may be helpful, though it's less specifically about macros and viral images and more about a specific kind of meme, the nuclear meme. My research is accessible here: http://theoplothe.com/meme/index.html Theo Plothe MA COMS - New Media & Technology/Social Networking Northern Illinois University

Information and Computer Ethics Symposium - AISB/IACAP 2012 World Congress
by Mariariosaria Taddeo 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Dear Colleagues, The symposium on Information and Computer Ethics in the Age of the Information Revolution accepts now submissions. The symposium is part of the AISB/IACAP 2012 World Congress, Birmingham 2-6 July 2012. http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/turing12/ In the last a half-century, ICTs have become fundamental to our daily lives, to the point of becoming indispensable for several of our activities. Ubiquitous technologies have changed our way of working, shopping, learning and even waging war. Such changes are so deeply engrained into society that speaking of an Information Revolution is justified. Considering the Information Revolution from an ethical perspective brings to the fore two types of questions: applied and theoretical. The former revolve around the ethical problems engendered by the deployment, management and design of ICT-based artefacts. They address applied ethical issues, like, for example, the right to privacy and anonymity of Internet users, Internet neutrality and transparency, the distinction between ownership and use of online resources or the waging of informational warfare. The theoretical questions concern meta-ethical issues such as the very set of criteria on which moral judgments rest. The problem is whether the changes determined by the dissemination of ICTs have affected so deeply both our lives and our interactions with the environment in which we live that it has become necessary to revise the categories for moral judgment. In this context, issues concerning, for example, the attribution of a moral stance to digital entities, the criteria by which we define moral good and moral evil and the attribution of a moral status to artificial agents become of paramount relevance. The symposium invites contributions related to these two areas of philosophical investigation. Submission deadline: 08.04.2012 Please contact Mariarosaria Taddeo (mariarosariataddeo(a)gmail.com) or visit the symposium website http://www.informationethics.net/ICESymposium/index.html -- Dr. Mariarosaria Taddeo Marie Curie Fellow - University of Hertfordshire Senior Research Associate - Information Ethics Group (IEG), University of Oxford http://taddeo.philosophyofinformation.net/index.html

[Deadline Extended] Food for Thought: Designing for Critical Reflection on Food Practices
by Jaz Choi 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Apologies for cross-posting. // Please note that the submission deadline has been extended to March 23, 2012 // CFP. DIS 2012 WORKSHOP. Food for Thought: Designing for Critical Reflection on Food Practices Newcastle, UK June 11, 2012 http://www.urbaninformatics.net/workshop/ffthought This workshop is a continuation and extension to the successful past workshops including 2011 Communities and Technologies Food(ing): Between Human-Computer and Human-Food-Experience; 2009 [4]; OZCHI workshop, Hungry 24/7? HCI Design for Sustainable Food Culture and Sustainable Interaction with Food, Technology, and the City [3], and Food and Interaction Design: Designing for Food in Everyday Life [5]. The workshop addresses the opportunities and challenges for the design of digital interactive systems that engage individuals in critical reflection on their everyday food practices – including designing for engagement in more environmentally aware, socially inclusive, and healthier behaviour. These three themes represent the focus of much recent HCI work related to food. The proposed workshop aims to further the conversation on these themes through understanding specifically how the process of critical reflection can be encouraged by interactive technology. While the focus will be on food as an application area, the intention is to also explore, more generally, how the process of critical reflection can be facilitated through interactive technology. The workshop will include a design session, where participants will be asked to respond to the challenging local issue of alcohol and fast food consumption, to create innovative design solutions that facilitate people’s engagement in critical reflection on their food consumption, ultimately leading to broader socio-cultural transformation of Newcastle-upon-Tyne’s foodscape. The workshop will provide a unique forum to discuss existing theoretical and pragmatic approaches, and to envision novel ways to design technology that encourages sustained critical reflection. Interested participants should submit position papers to Jaz Hee-jeong Choi (h.choi [at] qut.edu.au<http://qut.edu.au/>, outlining their work, brief biographies, and what they would like to gain from the workshop. Submissions should be no longer than 2 pages, in PDF Format, and styled using the DIS paper format (http://dis2012.org/dis2012format.doc) Participants will be selected based on their expertise and to ensure overall disciplinary and geo-cultural diversity. Deadline for submissions: March 23, 2012 Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2012 Workshop: June 11, 2012 We look forward to hearing from you!

***Extended deadline: March 26*** COMETS 2012 - 3rd International Track on Collaborative Modeling and Simulation - Call for Papers

************* Deadline Extended to March 26, 2012 *************** (Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) ################################################################# IEEE WETICE 2012 3rd IEEE Track on Collaborative Modeling and Simulation (Comets 2012) in cooperation with AFIS (INCOSE France Chapter) MIMOS (Italian Association for M&S) CALL FOR PAPERS ################################################################# June 25-27, 2012, Toulouse (France) http://www.sel.uniroma2.it/comets12 ################################################################# # Papers Due: March 26, 2012 **** Extended Deadline **** # Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings # by the IEEE Computer Society Press and indexed by EI. ################################################################# Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is increasingly becoming a central activity in the design of new systems and in the analysis of existing systems because it enables designers and researchers to investigate systems behavior through virtual representations. For this reason, M&S is gaining a primary role in many industrial and research fields, such as space, critical infrastructures, manufacturing, emergency management, biomedical systems and sustainable future. However, as the complexity of the investigated systems increases and the types of investigations widens, the cost of M&S activities increases for the more complex models and for the communications among a wider number and variety of M&S stakeholders (e.g., sub-domain experts, simulator users, simulator engineers, and final system users). To address the increasing costs of M&S activities, collaborative technologies must be introduced to support these activities by fostering the sharing and reuse of models, by facilitating the communications among M&S stakeholders, and more generally by integrating processes, tools and platforms. Aside from seeking applications of collaborative technologies to M&S activities, the track seeks innovative contributions that deal with the application of M&S practices to the design of collaborative environments. These environments are continuously becoming more complex, and therefore their design requires systematic approaches to meet the required quality of collaboration. This is important for two reasons: to reduce rework activities on the actual collaborative environment, and to maximize the productivity and the quality of the process the collaborative environment supports. M&S offers the methodologies and tools for such investigations and therefore it can be used to improve the quality of collaborative environments. A non–exhaustive list of topics of interest includes: * collaborative environments for M&S * collaborative Systems of Systems M&S * workflow modelling for collaborative environments and processes * agent-based M&S * collaborative distributed simulation * collaborative component-based M&S * net-centric M&S * web-based M&S * model sharing and reuse * model building and evaluation * modeling and simulation of business processes * modeling for collaboration * simulation-based performance evaluation of collaborative networks * model-driven simulation engineering * domain specific languages for the simulation of collaborative environments * domain specific languages for collaborative M&S * databases and repositories for M&S * distributed virtual environments * virtual research environment for M&S * collaborative DEVS M&S To stimulate creativity, however, the track maintains a wider scope and invites interested researchers to present contributions that offer original perspectives on collaboration and M&S. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On-Line Submissions and Publication +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CoMetS'12 intends to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss key issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications and trends in the track research area. This year, we will accept submissions in two forms: (1) papers (2) poster and industrial presentations (1) Papers should contain original contributions not published or submitted elsewhere. Papers up to six pages (including figures, tables and references) can be submitted. Papers should follow the IEEE format, which is single spaced, two columns, 10 pt Times/Roman font. All submissions should be electronic (in PDF) and will be peer-reviewed by at least three program committee members. Accepted full papers will be included in the proceedings and published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (IEEE approval pending). Please note that at least one author for each accepted paper should register to attend WETICE 2012 (http://www.wetice.org) to have the paper published in the proceedings. (2) Posters should describe a practical, on-the-field, experience in any domain area using collaborative M&S. The poster submission requires the submission of an abstract for evaluation from the organizers. Accepted abstract must be followed by the submission of a poster which will be displayed at conference time. With the poster submission, a short (15 minutes) slot might be allocated for oral presentation illustrating the industrial case. The presentation may also include a live demo, but it should not include commercial details. Interested authors and participants may contact the organizers for expression of interests and content appropriateness at any time.
