Birds of a Feather at 2019 AoIR Conference
by Jonathon Hutchinson 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Hello AoIRists, This year at the 2019 AoIR conference, we are once again encouraging attendees to gather together to discuss areas of shared interest. These meetings are referred to as ‘Birds of a Feather’, because they, well, flock together. While these meetings are not formally organised by the Conference Committee, we encourage AoIR members to post ideas on potential areas of interest, research, and projects to the AoIR mailing-list to seek interest from other members and conference attendees. Ideally, areas of interest will flock organically and in an inclusive manner, so please don’t be afraid to nominate your idea (and yourself!) for one of these sessions. The conference program this year leaves your time free on the Thursday evening, and if you opt out of our expertly crafted social outings, you might also consider flocking together on Friday evening. We think the best way to gather is in a social setting in one of the amazing spaces located around Brisbane’s city centre. Below is a list of places we think suit the Birds of a Feather concept very well, but please do get in touch if you require specific kinds of locations and/or resources. And if you’re gathering together as a large group, do make sure to book a table or room at your venue ahead of time, to make sure there’s enough space. On Brisbane’s South Bank, just across the river from QUT, you’ll find bars and cafes around Stanley St Plaza: https://www.eatsouthbank.com.au/dining-guide/precincts/stanley-street-plaza/, and more cafes and restaurants on Little Stanley St: https://www.eatsouthbank.com.au/dining-guide/precincts/little-stanley-stree… At Howard Smith Wharves, under the Story Bridge, various new pubs, bars, and restaurants have opened recently: https://howardsmithwharves.com/ In Fish Lane, South Brisbane, there are various quirky bars and restaurants: https://explorefishlane.com.au/ On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, we wish you all the best with organising the next iteration of engaging discussions and thought provocations!

by Mel Stanfill 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Hi all, Since there are some overlaps between ELO folks and AoIR folks, I thought I'd share the CFP here. We invite submissions for presentations, performances, and exhibition pieces at the annual Electronic Literature Organization Conference and Media Arts Festival (ELO), to be held July 16-19, 2020, at the University of Central Florida in downtown Orlando. ELO seeks proposals related to electronic literature, or e-lit–literary works in which computation forms some essential part of the aesthetic. #ELOrlando offers an opportunity to share research and creative contributions within an engaging, collegial atmosphere comprising e-lit scholars and practitioners from across the globe. The theme for ELO 2020 is “(un)continuity”: participants are invited to explore fluidity and nonbinary concepts, including, re/presentation; categorization; spectra of light, sound, and the ultra/infra visible; social organization; unity; and discord. Presenters are invited to explore anything in the wider field of electronic literature, multimodal writing, digital art, literary games, or new media aesthetics. The deadline for submissions is December 2, 2019, 11pm GMT.

AoIR ethics guidelines - newspaper piece
by Jill Walker Rettberg 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

I wrote a very brief piece in a Norwegian newspaper about the new AoIR ethics guidelines. This is for a weekly column they have on the latest news in research, where researchers from different fields take turns to describe something new in their field. I’m not sure how many people actually read this, but I do quite like seeing AoIR and research ethics discussions in a newspaper. Obviously, with a 3500 character limit and a popular readership, it’s an extremely simplified discussion, but here it is: https://morgenbladet.no/aktuelt/2019/09/forskernes-gullgruve-har-etiske-pro… The Google translate isn’t too bad if you don’t read Norwegian: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=no&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmorg… Thanks to the ethics committee for all the work on this important topic!

CfP The 9th International Conference on Imaging for Crime Detection and Prevention (ICDP-19) http://www.icdp-conf.org/
by Ansgar Koene 22 Sep '19

22 Sep '19

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of Prof. Sergio A Velastin I would like to cordially invite you to submit a paper for The 9th International Conference on Imaging for Crime Detection and Prevention (ICDP-19) . http://www.icdp-conf.org/ * By popular demand, deadline extended to the 23rd september * Best Paper Prizes sponsored by the Sensors <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensorsSensors> Journal (impact factor 3.03) * Special Issue of selected extended papers to be prepared for the Sensors Journal * Technology Award announced (see left hand side) * Open Rank Position Announcement (see right hand side) AIMS AND SCOPE Over recent years, the availability of much larger amounts of data, cheap parallel hardware such as GPU and new machine learning methods such as deep learning have made a significant impact on how data is interpreted. In the UK and worldwide, there is an increased interest to effectively analyse massive unbiased data, generated from very different sources and with many different features such as social networks, surveillance systems, smart cities, cyberphysical systems, address and find solutions on the vulnerability of public spaces and individuals. However, there are serious limitations to the use of conventional monitoring systems where human operators are asked to survey a large number of cameras with a wide geographical coverage or go through enormous amounts of recorded material for forensic investigations. We are keen to see how developments on complex systems, adaptive behaviours, and machine learning methods have impacted the field of crime detection and prevention in particular and the monitoring of public places in general. This conference follows the successful IDSS (Intelligent Distributed Surveillance Systems) events held in 2003 and 2004 and ICDP 2005, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017 to bring together researchers, industry, end-users, law-enforcement agencies and citizens groups to share experiences and explore areas where additional research and development are needed, identify possible collaboration and consider the societal impact of such technologies. Full papers are invited on all aspects of Imaging Surveillance technologies, from academia, industry, NGOs and others, to be selected for oral presentations or posters through a peer-review system. An indicative, not exclusive, list of relevant topics is: • Surveillance Systems and solutions (system architecture aspects, operational procedures, usability, scalability) • Multi-camera systems • Information fusion (e.g. from visible and infrared cameras, microphone arrays. etc.) • Learning systems, Cognitive Systems Engineering and video mining • Robust computer vision algorithms (24/7 operation under variable conditions, object tracking, multi-camera algorithms, behaviour analysis and learning, scene segmentation) • Human Machine Interfaces, Human Systems Engineering and Human Factors • Wireless communications and networks for video surveillance, video coding, compression, authentication, watermarking, location-dependent services • Metadata generation, video database indexing, searching and browsing • Embedded systems, surveillance middleware • Gesture and posture analysis and recognition • Deep neural networks in visual surveillance • Biometrics (including face recognition) • Forensics and crime scene reconstruction • X-Ray and Terahertz scanning • Location big data mining with cellular automata • Case studies, practical systems and testbeds • Data protection, civil liberties and social exclusion issues • Algorithmic bias and transparency for machine learning • AI ethics • Custom FPGA based approximate computing Conference website: http://www.icdp-conf.org We expect a number of invited speakers from law enforcement agencies, industry and academia Accepted papers will be published on the IET's Digital Library, indexed by Inspec (and normally by IEEE Xplore and Scopus) only if at least one author registers and presents the work. Authors of exceptional papers will be encouraged to submit extended versions to be considered for publication in a Special Issue of the Sensors Journal (impact factor 3.03) and IET research journals. There are delegate fee discounts for authors, students and members of the IET and sponsoring organisations.

How can these emerging Infrastructures of Repair provide spaces to imagine radically different futures, resist easy co-option by the forces of late-stage capitalism, and work in solidarity as plural networks seeking emancipatory change? To answer this we draw on insights from organizers, technologists, artists, and scholars to ensure the focus is not only on the technical aspects of infrastructure, but also the social and cultural. Their diverse perspectives suggest ways we can make space for livelihoods, solidarity, and survival; draw on history and place to bring our fullest imaginations to this moment; and open ways to think these questions together as we build transitional forms.
