Final CALL: DDP 2021
by ijwa＠dline.info 18 Aug '21

18 Aug '21

Second International Conference on Digital Data Processing Marrakesh, Morocco November 11-13, 2021 [1]www.socio.org.uk/ddp (IEEE CPS. Papers should follow IEEE template) Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and complexity. A single organization or industry processes more than few million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyze and process data more efficiently where the Data analytics are able to reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. The data applications have introduced cutting-edge possibilities in every activity in our life. Thus, the study of data and its underlying structure, dynamics of data relations, and newer data technologies are a never-ending process. The literature and research on data management are enormous, still, they sufficiently do not solve the data processing requirements. Currently, the use of technology and interrelations among information pieces generate gargantuan amounts of data. Many studies tend to develop models and systems to analyse the voluminous datasets. Analysing the impact of data leads to application domains on various decisions that have a systematic influence. Knowledge generated from the data analysis can enable the production of critical information for several domains. Hence this conference reviews and discusses, the recent trends, opportunities, and pitfalls of data management and how it has impacted organizations to create successful business and technology strategies and remain updated in data technology. This conference also highlights the current open research directions of data analytics that requires further consideration/ The proposed conference will discuss the topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data ecosystem Business analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Privacy and Security Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modeling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytic, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning Network optimization Data in Biomedical engineering Data in Materials science and mechanics Data handling and applications in domains Publications DDP is technically supported by IEEE CPS. The DDP papers will be submitted for publication and indexing in IEEE Xplore. Besides, modified versions of the papers will appear in the following journals. 1. Journal on Data Semantics 2. Technologies 3. Data Technologies and Applications 4. Webology 5. Journal of Digital Information Management 6. International Journal of Computational Linguistics 7. Journal of Optimization 8.

New Book Announcement: The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy
by Hannah G. M. Zeavin 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Dear colleagues, I hope you and yours are holding up as well as possible in this endless endlessness. With apologies for cross-posting, I’m writing because my first book, *The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy* <https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/distance-cure%22%20%5Ct%20%22_blank>*,* with a Foreword by John Durham Peters, is out today from MIT Press. *The Distance Cure *retells the history of therapy via its shadow form, teletherapy—a form that has now, for the last 18 months, overtaken the practice, becoming our default way of providing and receiving care. Starting with a discussion of Freud’s own use of letter-writing for analysis, through to radio broadcasts and call-in shows, suicide hotlines, the elusive quest to make an AI therapist, and e-therapy, the book culminates in a coda on our present moment and teletherapy during the pandemic and uprisings of last summer. There will also be some virtual, free public events in the near future: on August 19th, at Gray Room x City Lights <https://grayarea.org/event/the-distance-cure-book-launch/>, with Fred Turner; with Grace Lavery at The Strand Bookstore <https://www.strandbooks.com/events/event282?title=hannah_zeavin__grace_lave…> on August 23; in conversation with the artist Chloe Bass at the Brooklyn Public Library <https://www.bklynlibrary.org/calendar/art-world-conference-virtual-20210831> on August 31; and at McNally Jackson with Dr. Orna Guralnik (of Showtime’s *Couples Therapy*) on September 2 <https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/hannah-zeavin-conversation-dr-orna-gur…>. The book is available online on IndieBound <https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780262045926> and the American Booksellers Association's Bookshop <https://bookshop.org/books/the-distance-cure-a-history-of-teletherapy/97802…>. I've attached some of the advance praise below, and if you’d like to hear more about the book, I was recently interviewed by Adam Savage at San Francisco’s City Arts & Lectures <https://www.cityarts.net/event/the-distance-cure-a-history-of-teletherapy/>. Thanks so much for considering it. Warmly, Hannah Zeavin *Endorsements* The Distance Cure* is a work of pure brilliance. Hannah Zeavin is that rare scholar who connects past and future, distance and absence, external and internal, in compelling and vital ways. Too, she writes powerfully and lucidly about the complexities of psychotherapy, and its discontents. The result is arguably the most important book about the history of helping relationships, and the forms of communication on which they depend, in decades. Drop whatever you are doing and read this vital book: you will be better for it.* - Jonathan Metzl, Center for Medicine, Health, and Society, Vanderbilt University; author of *Dying of Whiteness* *This book is a fascinating, groundbreaking history of therapy, told from the perspective of the communication technologies that have long enabled it. A must-read for all scholars of technology, health, and communication.* - Mar Hicks, Associate Professor, Illinois Institute of Technology; author of *Programmed Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women Technologists and Lost Its Edge in Computing* *In a world of over-mediated hyper-communication that has left us all feeling adrift and isolated, Zeavin's *The Distance Cure* gives us the history that we need to catch up with our future. Of course psychoanalysis, from the very beginning, played with the frame, with technology, with experimental configurations, to explore unknown, maybe even unknowable, forms of intimacy. We need to remember that this is possible—before amnesia sets in. Zeavin is ready to be your reminder.* - Jamieson Webster, author of *Conversion Disorder: Listening to the Body in Psychoanalysis* -- Dr. Hannah Zeavin Lecturer, UC Berkeley author of *The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy <https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/distance-cure> *(MIT Press, 2021) zeavin.org

The illustrated principles of Nuovo Abitare
by xDxD.vs.xDxD 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

The illustrated principles of Nuovo Abitare Some time ago we gave a keynote presentation to Cumulus' Rome gathering called Design Cultures, about the principles of what we're calling Nuovo Abitare which, in our definition, is a substantial part of our contemporary condition, in which so many of our rights and freedoms depend on data and computation. The keynote became an article which you can find here: https://xdxd-vs-xdxd.medium.com/the-illustrated-principles-of-nuovo-abitare… We have described some principles for Nuovo Abitarre, and they are shown in the article through a series of practical projects that implement them in some way We would really like to open discussions about these definitions and principles, also because around October we will be opening the Nuovo Abitare Foundation in Rome, and there might be chances for collaboration if you're interested Thank you all for the kind attention Salvatore Iaconesi -- Art is Open Source - https://www.artisopensource.net Nuovo Abitare - https://abitare.xyz/ Human Ecosystems Relazioni - https://www.he-r.it/ Ubiquitous Commons - http://www.ubiquitouscommons.org

2021 Nancy Baym Book Award Winner
by Michelle, Association of Internet Researchers 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

It is our great pleasure to announce that the Nancy Baym Book Award committee has chosen Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures (2020 NYU Press) by André Brock, Jr., as this year’s winner. Distributed Blackness is a joyful exploration of Black cybercultural expression, which, along the way, claims its rightful place in the history of Black intellectualism and forges new theoretical paths for AoIR scholarship. Brock carefully constructs a methodology, Critical Technocultural Discourse Analysis, which affords a powerful way to trace how identities are constructed online. Moreover, he makes a case for studying the libidinal economy - energies that emerge from desire and fear - as a key conceptual window into the circulation of digital media. Brock then explores Web browsers, Black Twitter, and Black discourse, concluding with a deeply theoretical conception of Black technoculture. And, like all of the best internet scholarship, Distributed Blackness resonates beyond digital networks. We’re witnessing a backlash against calls for social justice — made most explicit by the transnational attacks on "critical race theory," but also visible in many smaller acts of intolerance and marginalization. In the face of this, Brock invites us to “happy reading” and a joyous affirmation of Blackness online. It is, to use a term from the book, a statement of pathos, a pleasurable excess of life in a time when life seems imperiled – and where the perils are not equally distributed across society. It is an essential book for AoIR and beyond. This is the point at which the committee would usually say how hard it was to pick a winner, but this year it was easy. The committee was unanimous in its choice, and abundant with praise. This is to take nothing away from the many other brilliant books we read this year, and we are grateful for all of the submissions. AoIR would like to acknowledge and thank the committee members – Nancy Baym, Niki Cheong, Rob Gehl, Nicholas John (Chair), Heidi McKee, Panayiota Tsatsou and Robert Tynes – for their work in judging this year’s profusion of wonderful books, and Michelle Gardner for making sure all of the books reached all of the judges. Finally, you can find André Brock on Twitter (@DocDre) and read his (open access) book online: http://opensquare.nyupress.org/books/9781479811908/
