***Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call For Papers Intelligent Distribution of Computing in Cloud Computing (ID3C) Workshop in conjunction with IEEE Meditcom 2022 https://meditcom2022.ieee-meditcom.org/authors/call-for-workshop-papers/#ws1 Athens, Greece, September 5-8, 2022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The proliferation of IoT solutions is driving the development of novel computing platforms that cope with the limitations of sensor/actuation devices and mobile devices, by offloading computing complexity onto the network. As a result, new computing paradigms that support diverse applications’ needs have arisen including cloud, fog and edge computing. Increasingly hybrid approaches are being adopted to provide performance trade-offs among those distribution models according to changing network conditions and application requirements. This trend is foreseen to continue to grow especially in smart environments powered by post-5G networks. Processing will have to be delegated via novel intelligent coordination strategies over dynamic networks, including cloud, fog and edge elements. There is a need for ubiquitous, context-aware, robust solutions that dynamically orchestrate computing tasks among these models. Topics of Interest ID3C 2022 has the goal to meet together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that are actively involved in computing of dynamic networks related research projects.

CFP: Workshop Combatting Misinformation
by Jennifer Stromer-Galley 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

Workshop on Combating Misinformation: Theoretical and Design Challenges to Support a Healthy Information Ecosystem Where: Virtual (Zoom) When: August 18/19, 2022 Submissions: https://easychair.org/cfp/WOM-2022 Submission due: July 31, 2022 Notification: August 7, 2022 Description Although misinformation has been used as a tool for propaganda throughout history, it has recently garnered immense public attention following the Brexit referendum and the US elections in 2016. Online social media outlets lack regular news media's editorial standards and procedures for ensuring the veracity of information, and as a result, social media platforms have become arteries for the dissemination of misinformation. We define misinformation as false or misleading information presented as fact regardless of intent. While only a tiny percentage of people share false or misleading information, the proliferation of false and misleading information on social media has eroded trust in our democracies and given rise to more advanced forms of social deception. In recent years, information systems (IS) researchers have investigated this phenomenon and suggested ways of mitigating its spread. Some proposed solutions by scholars and industry professionals include, news presentation and their formats, source ratings and credibility, and correcting and debunking the misinformation. This inaugural two-day online workshop hosted by the Center for Computational and Data Science<https://ischool.syr.edu/center-for-computational-and-data-science/> (CCDS), seeks to bring together scholars to rethink contemporary paradigms and mobilize discussion on pioneering technological solutions to combat misinformation. We hope that this discussion will provide opportunities for collaboration and help to develop a research agenda that illuminates areas for future research that eventually leads to solutions. At the end of this workshop, we will synthesize and present the ideas in a white paper which would be available on the CCDS website. Submission Guidelines To participate please submit your abstracts by July 31, 2022, using the submission page, addressing interesting questions around this phenomenon. Abstracts should not exceed one page, five hundred (500) words, double-spaced, 12-font. Eight papers will be selected for presentation, and all will be invited to participate in the workshop. We seek a wide range of research in content, theory, perspectives, and methods as they relate to combating misinformation. We encourage inter-disciplinary research with partners from information systems, journalism, communication, library and information science, psychology, sociology, political science, computer science and other disciplines. Topics include the effectiveness of user interventions like education, crowdsourcing, nudges, platform governance, regulatory/policy solutions, design of algorithms, social bots, curation systems, recommendation systems to counter misinformation. We welcome research at any level of analysis and using a variety of methods such as, qualitative, quantitative, archival, observational, mixed methods research, design science and comprehensive theory development research. Authors are welcome to email questions to kkking(a)syr.edu<mailto:kkking@syr.edu> prior to submission if they have questions about their paper's fit with the workshop.

Critical Dataset Studies Reading List
by Mike Ananny 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

(With apologies for cross-posts...) Dear All, The Knowing Machines Team wanted to share a new resource that we think might be of interest to this group: *Critical Dataset Studies Reading List <https://knowingmachines.org/reading-list>** *[ https://knowingmachines.org/reading-list ] We've been using the list to reflect on the growing literature on Machine Learning datasets, work that many of you have been core to and creating for some time! We intend the list as a living resource for dataset scholars, students, and reflective practitioners -- a way to see connections among disciplines, traditions, and methods, and a way to reflect on how datasets construct worldviews and convene stakes. The list is organized into sections that we hope might be helpful to different perspectives and starting points (see TOC below), and it's very much inspired by the "Critical Algorithms Studies <https://socialmediacollective.org/reading-lists/critical-algorithm-studies/>" reading list that Tarleton Gillespie and Nick Seaver developed several years ago. Like all such lists, this one is never complete, very likely missing relevant items, and only improves through suggestions. We've created a submission form at the bottom of the list and warmly invite anyone to suggest a dataset-related resource that they think would be good to add. Finally, this list is very much a team accomplishment, growing out of the collective thoughtfulness of Franny Corry, Edward B. Kang, Hamsini Sridharan, Sasha Luccioni, Mike Ananny, and Kate Crawford -- and only possible because there is so much excellent work rapidly emerging from engaged interdisciplinary communities like this one. All best, -- Mike. *** /*Critical Dataset Studies Reading List - Table of Contents [July 2022]*/ 1. STARTING POINTS <https://knowingmachines.org/reading-list#starting_points> 2.
