by Paul McDonald 08 Sep '23

08 Sep '23

Apologies for cross posting. Reminder, we are now into the final few days for the submission of proposals to the conference Media Industries. Deadline for submissions is 23.00hrs Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC -7) on Friday 15 September 2023. International Conference Media Industries 16-19 April 2024 Hosted by the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s College London Paper, panel, and roundtable proposals are now invited for the 2024 ‘Media Industries’ conference (‘MI2024’). After the success in 2018 of the inaugural conference ‘Media Industries: Current Debates and Future Directions’, unfortunately the planned 2020 conference had to be cancelled due to Covid lockdowns. We are therefore very pleased to announce the conference will return next year. A key aim of MI2024 is to maintain an open intellectual agenda and provide a meeting ground for all forms of media industries research. To this end, the conference invites proposals for papers, panels, and roundtables presenting research from across the full breadth of the media industries. To energize interdisciplinary discussions, we welcome proposals presenting research from all intellectual and methodological traditions in media industries scholarship. Additionally, to recognize the full scope and diversity of media industries, proposals may address industries in contemporary or historical contexts, and at global, transnational, national, or sub-national levels of analysis. Proposals (see below) are welcomed in three categories (see full details below): · open call papers · pre-constituted panels · pre-constituted roundtables *PLEASE NOTE*: MI2024 will take place in-person only and we are unable to accommodate requests for virtual presentations. PARTNERS A core aim of the ‘Media Industries’ conference is to bring together scholars researching media industries from across multiple professional associations and their relevant sub-groups or sections. We are therefore very pleased to be organizing ‘MI2024’ in partnership with: · British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies (BAFTSS) - Screen Industries Special Interest Group · European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) - Media Industries and Cultural Production Section · European Media Management Association (EMMA) · European Network for Cinema and Media Studies (NECS) - Screen Industries Work Group · Gesellschaft für Medienwissenschaft (GFM) - AG Medienindustrien · Global Media and China journal · International Association of Mass Communication Research (IAMCR) - Media Production Analysis Working Group · International Communication Association (ICA) - Media Industry Studies Interest Group · Media Industries journal · Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS) - Media Industries Scholarly Interest Group HOST COMMITTEE Sarah Atkinson, Orcun Can, Virginia Crisp, Matthew Hilborn, Wing-Fai Leung, Lisa Lin, Paul McDonald (conference chair), Jeanette Steemers, and Jaap Verheul. ADVISORY COMMITTEE Ruby Cheung, Elizabeth Evans, Terry Flew, Kate Fortmueller, Anthony Fung, Melanie Gray, Xiao Han, Catalina Iordache, Anna Jupowicz-Ginalska, Aske Kammer, Michael Keane, Florian Krauß, Skadi Loist, Kate Nash, John Oliver, Jennifer Porst, Alisa Perren, Steve Presence, Lies van Roessel, Willemien Sanders, Kevin Sanson, Andrew Spicer, Vilde Schanke Sundet, Fredrik Stiernstedt, Dinara Tokbaeva, Emily West and Anna Zoellner. REGISTRATION All delegates will need to register for the conference. Registration for the conference will go live in November 2023, and fees will be structured on the basis of full (academics, waged) and reduced (students, unwaged) status, and tiered according to the delegate’s country of residence using the World Bank’s country classifications by Gross National Income per capita. SUBMISSIONS The system for submitting proposal is NOW OPEN. Deadline for submissions is 23.00hrs Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC -7) on Friday 15 September 2023 Proposals are welcomed in three categories and should be submitted through the following links. 1) Open Call Papers Format: solo or co-presented research paper lasting no more than 20mins. https://form.jotform.com/231403617601344 2) Pre-constituted Panels Format: 90mins panel of 3 x 20mins OR 4 x 15mins thematically linked solo or co-presented research papers followed by questions. https://form.jotform.com/231404242363344 3) Pre-constituted Roundtables Format: 90mins interactive forum led by a chair bringing together 4 to 6 participants (including the chair as a participant if speaking as well as chairing) to offer short (up to 6 minute) position statements or interventions designed to trigger discussions around a central theme, issue, or problem. As such, a roundtable does not involve the presentation of formal research papers but rather is designed to create a forum for the participants and audience to engage in a shared discussion. The format is flexible and can be adapted to allow members of the roundtable to introduce exercises or other activities where appropriate. https://form.jotform.com/231403562356350 Delegates will be able to make up to TWO contributions to the conference but only ONE in any category, i.e., presenting an open call paper and participating in a roundtable will be permitted but not presenting two open call papers. Chairing a panel or roundtable will NOT count as one of those contributions. Papers (either open call or as part of a pre-constituted panel) maybe presented individually or by a pair of co-presenters. When submitting a proposal, each presenter/co-presenter/participant is required to provide their: · name · institutional affiliation (if any) · contact e-mail address · a short professional biography (max. 100 words) In addition, different proposal categories require the following: 1) Open Call Papers · title · abstract of no more than 400 words · 3-5 keywords · 3-5 sources relevant to the paper 2) Pre-constituted Panels · nominated chair (either one of the presenters or another delegate) · panel rationale of no more than 400 words · 3-5 key words · individual proposals (presenter/co-presenter details, title, abstract, keywords, sources) for 3 x 20mins OR 4 x 15mins research papers 3) Pre-constituted Roundtables · nominated chair (either one of the presenters or another delegate) · rationale of no more than 400 words · 3-5 key words · details for each participant accompanied by a statement of no more than 100 words outlining a participant’s intended contribution TIMELINE · Wednesday 1 June 2023 submissions open · Friday 15 September 2023 at 23.00hrs PDT deadline for submissions · mid-November 2023 acceptances announced and delegate registration opens · early-January 2024 first draft of the programme · Friday 29 March 2024 deadline for delegate registrations WEBSITE AND CONTACT The conference website will go live towards the end of this year.

Book announcement: Digital Platforms and the Press
by James Meese 07 Sep '23

07 Sep '23

RMIT Classification: Trusted Dear colleagues, I wanted to let you all know that my book “Digital Platforms and the Press” is now published and available as an Open Access title. The book argues that there is a growing risk of a platform-dependent press, which threatens democracies across the world. It provides the first comprehensive account of how platform dependence manifests across the news media sector. The great news is that the book is open access and free to read. You can find the full version here<https://openresearchlibrary.org/viewer/61c9d395-19af-4c75-a9c1-b61b494e155b>. Of course, you can still ask your library to acquire the book<https://www.intellectbooks.com/digital-platforms-and-the-press>, request a review copy<https://www.intellectbooks.com/request-review-copy?isbn=9781789388794&title…> or ask for an inspection copy for teaching<https://www.intellectbooks.com/how-to-order-books#instructors>. Pre-publication praise – “Going beyond the gestural politics of the ‘techlash,’ James Meese has developed an extremely timely neo-institutional analysis of the changing dynamics of the relationships between digital platforms and news publishers. Alert to legal, commercial and policy nuances and complexities, Meese’s text will become a central point of reference for researchers, policy makers and industry participants alike.” Terry Flew, Professor, The University of Sydney "In this pace-setting new book, James Meese tackles pressing problems in the increasingly imbalanced relationship between planetary scale digital platforms such as Alphabet (Google), Meta (Facebook) and Apple, on the one side, and news media, on the other. Meese charts how the former are gaining the upper hand when it comes to the distribution of news, the training of a new generation of journalists and news industry workers, getting paid and, of course, the online advertising market. He not only brings a sure hand and wisdom to his analysis of these issues, but also to the policy options he puts on the table." Dwayne Winseck, Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University and Director of the Global Media & Internet Concentration Project With thanks and apologies for cross-posting.

ACM IUI 2024 - Second Call for Papers
by Wanling Cai 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * For the online version of this Call, visit: https://iui.acm.org/2024/call_for_papers.html * ACM IUI 2024: 29th International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces Greenville, South Carolina, USA March 18-21, 2024 ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) 2024 is the 29th annual premiere venue, where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies, techniques and systems. In addition to traditional IUI themes, we add this year a new theme of Large Language Models (LLMS) for the people. As LLMs become more powerful and more accessible, end users can interact with them in various ways and a wide variety of new applications become feasible. This raises new research questions regarding the interaction between users and generative AI models, including the design of new interactions and intelligent systems, when to trust systems powered with LLMs, fairness in LLMs, studying the effect of such models on people’s work and aligning user expectations with model capabilities. As always, contributions to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. We strongly believe that diverse insights are critical to the vitality of the IUI community and the conference will accept papers for both long and short oral presentations. ** Topics ** IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Usable Large Language Models and Generative AI * End-user interaction with LLMs and Multimodal models (e.g., chatbots, image generation) * LLMs in the workplace * Trustworthy LLMs * Bias in LLMs * The effects of LLMs use on creative tasks * Personalized user interaction with LLMs * Prompt Engineering * User control and steering of LLMs (e.g. RLHF) - Human-centered AI methods, approaches, and systems * Explainable AI methods * Democratization of AI * Persuasive technologies in IUI * Privacy and security of IUI * Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation * User modelling for intelligent interfaces * User-adaptive interaction and personalization * IUI for crowd computing and human computation - Computational innovation * Interactive machine learning * Human-in-the loop AI testing and debugging * Human-centered recommendation and recommender systems * Human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning * Intelligent user interfaces for generative AI - Innovative User Interfaces * Affective interfaces * Intelligent aesthetic interfaces * Intelligent collaborative interfaces * Intelligent AR/VR interfaces * Intelligent visualization and visual analytics * Intelligent wearable and mobile interfaces * Intelligent tangible interfaces - Intelligent Multimodal Systems * Embodied agents * Multimodal AI assistants * Intelligent multimodal interfaces - Evaluations of Intelligent User Interfaces * User experiments and studies * Reproducibility (including benchmarks, datasets, and challenges) * Meta-analysis * Mixed-methods evaluations - Applications IUI * Education and learning-related technologies * Healthcare and wellbeing * Automotive * Assistive technologies * Entertainment * Workplace happiness * Social media * Information retrieval * Internet of things (IoT) * Smart cities * Generative AI ** Papers ** We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration elsewhere. This year, there is no page limit on the papers (however, we strongly encourage authors to not exceed 10,000 words) and no formal distinction between long and short papers will be made. However, we expect the paper length to be commensurate with the scientific values and contribution of the work. Authors of papers that exceed 12,000 words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2024" that will appear in 2025. All accepted papers will be invited for oral presentation as part of the main conference program. Additionally, all authors of accepted papers are invited to present a poster of their work during the poster session. ** Highlights of this year ** We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work; aspects pertaining to current societal issues; diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic. Reflection of practical and societal impact * We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of their work (as well as its shortcomings) throughout their projects and to include a reflection on those implications in their papers, in particular how the proposed methods and insights could be applied and deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people's lives in the real world. * We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work in terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic and its societal impact. We recognize that technology is rarely neutral --- simply by making some things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; Green, 2020). Further, given the incredibly short invention-to-application cycles for AI-related technologies, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that “somebody else” will carefully consider how an emerging intelligent user interface technology might impact the world before this technology is deployed. Because it is often difficult to anticipate the cumulative or indirect impacts of an invention, we provide a few concrete suggestions to consider throughout the research process and for reflecting on one’s work at the end. * Our purpose is to help authors ensure that the likely societal consequences of their work are consistent with their intentions and values. For colleagues who are not yet experienced with incorporating societal impacts into their IUI research but who are willing to give it a try, we prepared some simple ideas to consider. ** Submission instructions ** Important dates * Abstract submission- Oct 2th, 2023 * Full Submission - Oct 9th, 2023 * Initial decisions released - Dec 14th, 2023 * Rebuttal period (by invitation only)- Dec 14th-20th, 2023 * Notifications sent - Jan 5h, 2024 * Camera Ready submission - Jan 25th, 2024 Platform * All materials must be submitted electronically to PCS 2.0 http://new.precisionconference.com/~sigchi by the abstract and paper deadline. * In PCS 2.0, first click "Submissions" at the top of the page, from the dropdown menus for society, conference, and track select "SIGCHI", "IUI 2024" and "IUI 2024 Papers", respectively, and press "Go". Anonymization * ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions (and supplemental materials) must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines: * Authors’ names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper. * Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process. * Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third person. For example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ... " is not allowed, whereas "... as shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation). * Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being desk rejected without review. * Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and Review at SIGCHI Conferences. Accessibility * Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that reviewers with vision impairments can access them, for example). The authors of accepted papers will be required to make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible Submission for detailed instructions. * If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide captions, as described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos. * Please refer to the Accessibility page for further details and guidelines. Submission format and length * We will adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow. * Prepare your submission for review in a single column format, using the latest templates: Word Submission Template, or the LaTeX template using \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for the LaTeX template. * Papers are of variable length. Paper length must be based on the weight of the contribution. We encourage authors to stay within a 10,000 word limit. Authors of papers exceeding 12,000 words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work. Supplemental materials * Submitting supplemental material (e.g. questionnaires, demo videos of applications, data sheets) is optional but encouraged. * If supplying a demo video, please follow the SIGCHI Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos. Additional Policies * As a published ACM author, you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Program Chairs * Dorota Glowacka, University of Helsinki * Denis Parra, PUC Chile * Ofra Amir, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology

WEBCAST SEP 6 – IPNSIG Academy: Expanding the Scope of IPN through Expanding the Scope of Delay Tolerant Networking Applications
by Joly MacFie 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

This is underway. 2160p stream! REAL TIME TEXT https://bit.ly/3OZGrGs [image: isoc live] <https://isoc.live/16847>On *Wednesday September 6, 2023* at *5pm-6pm EDT* (21:00-22:00 UTC) the *Interplanetary Networking Special Interest Group <https://ipnsig.org/>* (IPNSIG) presents the 14th *IPNSIG Academy <https://ipnsig.org/ipnsig-academy-events/>* presentation - '*Expanding the Scope of IPN through Expanding the Scope of Delay Tolerant Networking Applications*'. This talk will discuss the role of the underlying IPN protocols (Delay Tolerant Networking, or DTN) and how this protocol has attractive features to a much wider range of applications. Advocating for the broader adoption of DTN would have the effect of bringing additional implementations, adoption, interoperability, and innovation to DTN, and thus to IPN. Making IPN one of the "edged" in broader DTN networks of networks can bridge the gap between planetary and interplanetary networks. Presenter *Dr. Marshall <https://www.linkedin.com/in/presmarshall/>* is a veteran of DARPA, where he created and ran the Disruption Tolerant Networking program. Following DARPA (at USC), he was Principal Investigator for the DARPA Content Addressable Network program, also based on the underlying DTN bundle. His book “*Three Tier Shared Spectrum, Shared Infrastructure, and a Path to 5G <https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108165020>*” was recently published by Cambridge University Press, as well as two prior technical books on Cognitive Radio.

by Hara, Noriko 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

We noticed that the last sentence from the previous call was missing, so we are sending this again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Chapters: Edited book, “Social Informatics” Proposals Submission Deadline: September 10, 2023 Full Chapters Due: February 1, 2024 We solicit chapter proposals for an edited book about Social Informatics. We have a contract with Routledge and committed contributors, but a few more chapters can help us expand the scope and reach of the book. This edited volume aims to present a social informatics approach to understand emerging issues related to digital technologies. Social informatics examines how society is shaped by digital technologies as well as how digital technologies are shaped by political, economic and socio-cultural forces. Taking a social informatics perspective, this edited volume investigates the interaction between society and digital technologies, including pervasive mobile and wearable devices, social media, artificial intelligence, and big data. We invite chapter proposals that make theoretical contribution or contribute empirical work with a social informatics perspective on data, ethics, or social justice, or more broadly proposals that focus on Computerization and mobilization in everyday contexts. The deadline to submit a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words, clearly explaining the purpose and context of their proposed chapter, is on or before September 10, 2023. Authors will be notified by September 25, 2023, about the status of their chapter proposals. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by February 1, 2024. Please send a chapter proposal along with a short author(s) bio to Noriko Hara (nhara(a)indiana.edu<mailto:nhara@indiana.edu>) AND Pnina Fichman (fichman(a)indiana.edu<mailto:fichman@indiana.edu>). Any questions are welcome.
