[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] *The International workshop on Artificial Neural Networks for Edge Intelligence (ANNEI 2024)* Co-located with The 9th International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2024) https://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2024/Workshops/ANNEI2024/index.html Malmö, Sweden. September 2-5, 2024 Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Sweden Section *ANNEI 2024 CFP:* Welcome to the International workshop on Artificial Neural Networks for Edge Intelligence (ANNEI 2024). The workshop will discuss artificial intelligence (AI) optimization and its implementation in edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) environments, with a focus on federated learning, artificial neural networks, and sparse neural networks. Federated Learning investigates a cooperative method that protects data privacy while allowing AI models to be trained over dispersed edge devices. Sparse ANNs are a viable option that can be deployed in edge computing/IoT scenarios since they address scalability issues and reduce energy usage. Sparsity approaches also allow the topology of ANNs to be smaller and more scalable, which makes them appropriate for deployment in resource-constrained situations like edge computing and IoT devices. Multidisciplinary research that combines edge computing with other emerging technologies, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity technologies, etc., is highly welcomed. The potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Federated Learning: Privacy-Preserving Collaborative AI Training on Edge Devices. - Sparse Neural Networks: Principles, Advantages, and Applications in Edge Computing and IoT. - Optimization Techniques for AI Models in Resource-Constrained Environments. - Scalability Challenges and Solutions in Edge Computing and IoT Deployments. - Energy-Efficient Computing Strategies for Edge Devices and IoT Systems. - Exploring the Interplay between Federated Learning and Edge Computing Technologies. - Security and Privacy Considerations in Federated Learning and Edge AI Systems. - Real-world Case Studies of Federated Learning and Sparse Neural Networks in Edge Computing. - Integration of Edge Computing with Blockchain Technology for Secure and De-centralized AI Applications. - Advances in Cyber-security Technologies for Securing Edge Computing/IoT Environments. - Hardware Acceleration and Edge Computing Architectures for Efficient AI Inference. - Federated Learning for Healthcare Applications: Challenges and Opportunities. - Exploring Edge Computing and AI Integration in Smart Cities and Urban Infrastructure. - Future Directions and Emerging Trends in Edge Computing and IoT Integration with AI Technologies. *Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings* Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format.

CALL TO ACTION! Please help save Goldsmiths University
by Zoë Glatt 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

Hi everyone, I know a lot of you aren’t on Twitter anymore, but for those who are Goldsmiths University would really appreciate your support to fight the brutal cuts that have been proposed by management. Goldsmiths is an amazing university (where I had the joy of doing my MA Digital Media) that generates critical scholarship, and these cuts speak to broader attacks on arts and humanities happening in the UK and elsewhere. You can read the Goldsmiths Union call to action below. Thanks so much, Zoe ~~~ CALL TO ACTION! SAVE THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES! Goldsmiths UCU is calling on all staff, students, alumni, friends of the College, and members of the public who care about the future of arts and humanities education in the UK to participate in an urgent TWITTER STORM this Wednesday 5 June at 10am! As part of their so-called Transformation Programme, Goldsmiths’ senior managers want to cull an estimated 133 jobs, but this could be more. They have grossly mismanaged the College, and they want to use our livelihoods to cover their tracks. There is no financial rationale for these cuts. They have failed to consult staff. And they have refused to consider seriously any of the counterproposals that were prepared and submitted by Goldsmiths’ staff, only 29 of which management even acknowledged. They are counting on our exhaustion. They are counting on our passivity. They are counting on us feeling like these forced redundancies are a forgone conclusion. But we know it’s #NotADoneDeal! On Thursday morning (6th June) staff representatives will meet with a group of Council members, in order to challenge Council's support for management's disastrous plans. On Wednesday (5th June), we are asking everyone to send Goldsmiths’ Council a message. There is still time to right this wrong and still time to defend the future of arts and humanities education -- both at Goldsmiths and around the UK. Council has the power to stop this. We have the power to remind them. HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TWITTER STORM 1. Prepare a tweet! It can be about Goldsmiths, or it can be about attacks on arts and humanities/universities more broadly. If you’re not sure what to tweet, we’ve offered some ideas/prompts below. 2. In your tweet, use the hashtag #NotADoneDeal and tag both @GoldsmithsUoL and @Goldsmiths UCU. If you only have space for one tag, make it @GoldsmithsUoL 3. On WEDNESDAY 5TH JUNE at 10AM GMT, tweet that tweet! 4. Throughout the day on Wednesday and Thursday, like and retweet all content you see using the #NotADoneDeal hashtag. Keep the storm going! Other things you can do to support our action: 1. Ahead of Wednesday, contact 5-10 (or 20, or 50) people that you know who are active on Twitter and who care about the future of Goldsmiths and the future of the arts and humanities. Invite them to take part in the Twitter Storm with you. 2. To turn up the volume of our message, reach out to your “very online” friends with larger numbers of Twitter followers and ask them to join our action! WHAT SHOULD I TWEET? We’ve chosen the hashtag #NotADoneDeal because it speaks to our defiance in the face of management’s aggression and indifference, whilst also being broad enough for people both within and beyond the Goldsmiths to make it their own. So, make it your own. But if you’re not sure what to tweet or how to use the hashtag, here are some ideas: Remember to include the hashtag #NotADoneDeal and to tag @GoldsmithsUoL (and @GoldsmithsUCU if you can)! Local MPs and journalists are also worth tagging. 1. Make a donation to the Goldsmiths Solidarity Fund<https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-goldsmiths-ucu-fight-mass-redundancies?utm_…> and tweet about why you want to support staff fighting mass redundancies! These redundancies are #NotADoneDeal because of the solidarity and generous donations that keep our staff afloat through this fight. Remember to link the solidarity fund’s GoFundMe page<https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-goldsmiths-ucu-fight-mass-redundancies?utm_…> in your tweet. 2. Already made a donation? Thank you! Share the GoFundMe page with your followers and encourage them to do the same, using the hashtag #NotADoneDeal and tagging @GoldsmithsUoL. 3. If you’re a student or alumni of Goldsmiths, you could tweet about why Goldsmiths matters to you and why you chose to study arts and humanities. Let Council know that the destruction of the College is #NotADoneDeal because our community is strong and ready to fight. 4. Goldsmiths’ senior managers aren’t the only ones attacking the future of arts and humanities education -- the Tories are at it, too. With a general election just around the corner, let the Tories know that their attacks on critical, creative education are #NotADoneDeal. 5. Retweet a recent news article about our fight at Goldsmiths, with either a quote or a comment and the hashtag #NotADoneDeal. Recent coverage includes this piece<https://www.theguardian.com/education/article/2024/may/10/goldsmiths-univer…> about saving the MA Black British Literature from management’s attacks; this piece<https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/mar/27/goldsmiths-university-of-…> calling the attacks on Goldsmiths’ staff “cultural and social vandalism”; this piece<https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/michael-rosen-attacks-unbearable-…> with comment and condemnation from Goldsmiths colleague Michael Rosen; and, this detailed and damning op-ed by Zoe Williams<https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/apr/11/the-goldsmiths-crisis-how…>, whose insistence that the attacks on Goldsmiths and on arts and humanities are “not a done deal” inspired our hashtag. Retweet a recent news article about how arts, humanities, and higher education have suffered under Tory rule with either a quote or a comment, the hashtag #NotADoneDeal, and @GoldmsmithsUoL tagged. Remind Council what they are being complicit in if they allow these injurious and unnecessary cuts to go ahead! ________________________ Dr Zoë Glatt www.zoeglatt.com<http://www.zoeglatt.com/> Postdoctoral Researcher: Microsoft’s Social Media Collective Co-Founder: The Digital Ethnography Collective @DigECollective<https://twitter.com/DigECollective> Twitter<https://twitter.com/ZoeGlatt> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/user/Zedstergal> | Mastodon<https://aoir.social/@ZoeGlatt>

We are interested in better understanding the implications of Generative AI on knowledge consumption and knowledge production processes and we are reaching out to* invite you to participate in a survey on ‘Attitudes towards Generative AI in Research, Cultural Heritage, and Education’.* The aim of this research is to gain insight into understandings and uses of AI in professional practice, and specifically in research, higher education and the cultural heritage sector, and to explore attitudes to these developing technologies. This will inform further research into issues of trust and the value of structured data and human expertise when designing and implementing Generative AI tools. As a researcher / practitioner in one or more of these fields, your insights will be invaluable in understanding the current landscape and future potential of generative AI applications. The survey should take between 10-15 minutes (depending on how much you would like to share), and your responses will remain confidential. Here is a shareable link to the survey: https://forms.office.com/e/MjvHAUBTAG. We would also be grateful if you could also share the link to the survey with relevant colleagues, fellow educators, and professionals in the cultural heritage sector. By participating and spreading the word, you are directly contributing to the growth of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field. The results of this survey will be shared openly in order to contribute to an evidence base for the development of future policy and practice. The survey will be open until the end of May 2024, and we very much appreciate your time and collaboration. If you have any questions about the research, please feel free to email us. Thank you very much for taking the time to complete this survey. Best wishes, Prof. Jane Winters, Professor of Digital Humanities & Director of the Digital Humanities Research Hub, School of Advanced Study, University of London Dr. Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Visiting Fellow, Digital Humanities Research Hub School of Advanced Study, University of London.

We aim to reframe conversations about technology and labor towards issues of power, inequality, and social justice, and incorporate themes of feminism, anti-racism, and transnationalism.

For a deeper discussion of our mission, please see the 'About Us' <http://labortechresearchnetwork.org/index.php/about-us/> page on our website as well as examples of topics in our decade-long Speaker Series <http://labortechresearchnetwork.org/index.php/speaker-series/>. Call for Nominations As part of our mission to promote scholarship and activism towards more equitable forms of labor and technology, LaborTech is announcing a call for three awards -- Book, Graduate Student Paper, and Social Justice. These will honor projects which: have distinctive intellectual merit or activist impact; advance the knowledge about labor and technology in the global society; and address our core focus on labor and technology and which may simultaneously address feminism, anti-racism, and/or transnationalism. *Eligibility* Works from all disciplines and methodologies are eligible for nomination. Nominations are open to members and non-members of LaborTech. We welcome self-nominations especially, but also nominations from publishers, colleagues, and others familiar with the projects. We encourage submissions from women, people of color, queer communities, and those from the global south. LaborTech executive board members and committee chairs, as well as books published in our Labor and Technology series with MIT Press, are ineligible for these awards. *Prizes* Winners receive a small cash award and a certificate (which we hope to expand further in years ahead, as we are still a growing nonprofit organization :). In addition, we offer our infrastructural supports at LaborTech to promote visibility of your projects: by connecting with our globally-located expert members; by making a video of winners and distributing it both in and outside of our network to enhance public attention and exposure; and by creating a space and opportunity for sharing your work at out end of year virtual celebration.
