SOFSEM presents the latest results and developments in academic and industrial research in leading areas of Computer Science. The first SOFSEM was organized in 1974, and it was traditionally located in the Czech and Slovak Republics, before it started moving to other European locations. In 2017 it was organised in Ireland, in 2018 in Austria and in 2019 in Slovakia. The 46th edition will be organised in the sunny Mediterranean island of Cyprus. SOFSEM consists of Invited Talks by prominent researchers, Contributed Talks selected from the submitted papers, and the Student Research Forum. The program is organized in plenary talks and parallel tracks devoted to original research in contemporary areas of Computer Science. SOFSEM has a long-standing tradition of facilitating discussions and collegial interactions and is well-known for its familiar and inspiring atmosphere and as a meeting place for active and leading computer scientists. SOFSEM is a track based conference. It features the traditional track on Foundations of Computer Science and a number of other tracks that over the years have evolved to cover and address contemporary important areas of Computer Science, such as Artificial Intelligence, Cryptography, Security, and Verification, Data Science, Knowledge Engineering, Social Computing and Human Factors, Software and Web Engineering, etc. The proceedings of SOFSEM are published in the prestigious ARCoSS (Advanced Research in Computing and Software Science) subseries of Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For SOFSEM 2020, the Steering Committee is inviting proposals for organising tracks. The tracks can be of theoretical or practical nature or a combination of both. Tracks from industry are particularly welcome. A proposal should not exceed 3 pages and should include the following items: a) Title, aim and scope of the proposed track, as well as the list of topics that the proposed track will address. b) Rationale for having this track in SOFSEM, including any other similar events that the proposed track complements or differs from. c) Names, affiliations and short CVs for the chairs of the proposed track, demonstrating past relevant experience in organising such tracks or events. d) Tentative list of names of the Program Committee for the proposed track. e) A short dissemination plan for the CFP mentioning the forums where the latter will be posted. The proposals will be reviewed by the Steering Committee and the General Chairs, based on the above mentioned criteria. A proposal may be accepted as is, requested to modify its title and/or topics covered, merged with another proposed track or rejected. Upon acceptance, the track chairs will be notified of their exact duties in managing the affairs of their track.

New free online unit: Disability and Digital Media: Accessibility, Representation and Inclusion
by Tama Leaver 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Dear All, Just a quick plug for the new free online course from Internet Studies at Curtin called Disability and Digital Media: Accessibility, Representation and Inclusion which is now open: https://www.edx.org/course/disability-and-digital-media-accessibility-repre… Disability and Digital Media tries to make some of the big issues and questions around Digital Disability accessible to a more general audience, but may be of interest to scholars and students more broadly. This joins our first free online short-course Social Media: How Media Got Social which remains available to anyone interested: https://www.edx.org/course/social-media-how-media-got-social More detail about Disability and Digital Media: Accessibility, Representation and Inclusion follows: Curtin University’s latest Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) will explore how social media – including memes – is changing the face of disability, as well as the opportunities and challenges the online age presents to people with disabilities. The free four-week MOOC, delivered through the edX online learning platform, will help learners understand the impact of social media on representations of disability and the role of accessibility in the digital world. The course, titled Disability and Digital Media, consists of four modules, delving into the politics of experiencing and discussing disability online and the presence of disability in memes, viral content and online culture. Course Coordinator Associate Professor Katie Ellis, from the School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry, said the MOOC offered an opportunity to learn about the relationship between digital technologies and disability in an ever-changing online landscape. “As an increasingly prevalent and pervasive part of our daily lives, the internet is a reflection of who we are and the society we live in,” Associate Professor Ellis said. “This MOOC will help learners understand how a contemporary online environment, including social media, is changing representations of disability and will explore the opportunities and challenges of representing disability online.” Disability and Digital Media will cover a range of topics including social and medical models of disability, key concepts and terminology for understanding digital disability, how memes and viral content are being used by disability activists and how the tools of digital accessibility can benefit all media users. Curtin University Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academic Professor Jill Downie said the digital world presented new and innovative ways for people to learn, making education more accessible for many. “This online course is relevant to online learners from all parts of the world who are interested in learning more about the relationship between digital technologies and disability in the internet age,” Professor Downie said. “By working with edX to deliver these online courses, Curtin is offering greater flexibility to students, professionals and global learners looking to develop their skills, study a passion or further their qualifications.” Disability and Digital Media will run in self-paced mode for 2019, so participants may enrol and complete it at any time. It is the second MOOC from Internet Studies at Curtin, following on from Social Media: How Media Got Social, which was launched in 2018 and is now available on edX in self-paced mode. Participants can enrol now in Disability-and-Digital-Media: Accessibility, Representation and Inclusion, which started February 4, 2019: https://www.edx.org/course/disability-and-digital-media-accessibility-repre… Cheers, Tama -- Associate Professor Tama Leaver Discipline Lead, Internet Studies, School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry (MCASI) Curtin University GPO Box U1987 Perth WA Australia 6845 Ph: (+61 8) 9266 1258 Email: t.leaver(a)curtin.edu.au Web: www.tamaleaver.net Twitter: @tamaleaver <https://twitter.com/tamaleaver> CRICOS Provider Code: 00301J (WA)
