From j.donovan at qut.edu.au Wed Dec 2 20:47:58 2015 From: j.donovan at qut.edu.au (Jared Donovan) Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 04:47:58 +0000 Subject: [Ci4cg-announce] DIS 2016 Call for workshops Message-ID: <6E0E13EE-B63E-47C4-991F-C4CA2CC872E9@qut.edu.au> (Apologies for cross-posting, please forward to interested colleagues) == Call for Workshops: DIS 2016 == ACM SIGCHI Designing Interactive Systems, 4-8 June 2016, Brisbane, Australia https://youtu.be/xE9nxU7Zfl0 We invite proposals for workshops that engage with central themes in designing interactive systems for people. Workshops are unique opportunities to collect together a diverse group of practitioners and researchers to spend focused time on important topics. A workshop format is ideal for getting things accomplished, generating outcomes (rather than reporting on them) and actively working together on open, unresolved or controversial issues in the field. Workshops should be designed to generate interaction between participants, foster community-building and attract broad interdisciplinary interest within the field. We encourage proposals that allow for participants to engage in “doing”: in design, in prototyping or hacking, in new methods, in analysis, in theorizing or in the application of emerging theories. == Workshop Formats == DIS 2016 workshops will be held on the first two days of the conference (4th and 5th June 2016); proposals for workshops may be for half-day, whole day, or two days. We also invite proposals for a new “embedded” workshop format we are trialling, where a workshop that runs as a session before the conference continues in short (approx. one hour) instalments over the next three days, embedded in the regular conference program. Plan for 6 working hours per day, with morning, afternoon and lunch breaks. Reserving unhurried time for socializing is important. Workshops should aim to attract between 10-25 participants. == Themes == Proposals should be ambitious: we encourage innovative, boundary crossing and experimental proposals that relate to the topics in the DIS 2016 call for papers: Design Theory, Methods, and Critical Perspectives: Methods, tools, and techniques for engaging people; researching, designing, and co-designing interactive systems; the use of critical and cultural theory to understand, critique, and reflect on design products and contexts as well as design practices. Experience: Places, temporality, people, communities, events, phenomena, aesthetics, user experience, usability, engagement, empowerment, wellbeing, designing things that matter, diversity, participation, materiality, making, etc. Application Domains: Health, ICT4D, children-computer interaction, sustainability, games/entertainment computing, digital arts, etc. Technological Innovation (systems, tools, and/or artefact designs): Sensors and actuators, mobile devices, multi touch and touchless interaction, social media, personal, community, and public displays == Important Dates == * 10 January 2016: Workshop proposals due; submission via PCS submission system * 10 February 2016: Notification to workshop organisers * 15 February 2016: CfP released by workshop organisers * 7 March 2016: Workshop participant submission deadline * 1 April 2016: Notification to workshop participants * 21 April 2016: Camera ready deadline * 8 May 2016: Early bird registration deadline * DIS 2016 workshop days: Saturday 4 June and Sunday 5 June 2016 == Submission Details == Workshop proposals should be 2-4 pages in length including references in the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts Format (2016), submitted via the PCS submission system. Proposals should contain: * Title and proposed duration * Organisers’ names and institutional addresses (proposals are not anonymised for review) * Workshop theme and goals, background and motivation * Intended audience and recruitment strategy * Schedule and description of activities planned * Intended outcomes of the workshop, their benefits and significance * Required facilities * A plan for how the results of the workshop will be disseminated beyond DIS 2016 * Short biographies of the organisers (including photos) * A draft 250-word call for participation for your workshop The draft 250-word call for participation should be included in a separate document, which will be posted on the DIS 2016 conference website. This should contain information on how potential participants should submit to you. == Selection Process == All proposals will be reviewed by the workshop chairs. Successful proposals should describe how the workshop format will be leveraged to generate clear outcomes and to make constructive and valuable use of the participants’ collective expertise. Social, active and engaging workshop concepts with clear collaborative outcomes will be preferred, as will workshops that have strong potential to generate cross-disciplinary interest. For first time workshop organisers, proposals from previous DIS conferences are a helpful indication of appropriate content and style: http://dis2014.iat.sfu.ca/index.php/workshops http://www.dis2012.org/workshops.php == Workshops Chairs == Jared Donovan Queensland University of Technology, Australia Ben Matthews University of Queensland, Australia workshops at dis2016.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

AI & Society is the premier journal for publishing interdisciplinary research on the interplay between society, culture and technology. We particularly welcome contributions which, acknowledging the fundamental impact that culture has on technology design, promise to contribute original, forward-looking thinking that will advance scholarship on the topics treated and signal new directions in research. This special issue is inspired by discussions and exchanges during the CulTech 2015 workshop on Cultural Diversity and Technology Design https://cultech2015.wordpress.com/, held at the 7th International Conference on Communities and Technologies (C&Tí15) http://comtech.community/, in Limerick, Ireland. ============================= IMPORTANT DATES ============================= - Abstract submission: Feb 1, 2016 - Manuscript submission: March 1, 2016 - Notifications: June 1, 2016 - Submission final versions: September 15, 2016 - Target publication date: December 2016 ============================= SPECIAL ISSUE THEMES ============================= Communities are a building block of society. Culture plays a significant role in community technology design and usage. Artefacts of culture, such as information technology, are not designed in a culturally neutral way, but are encoded with the designerís implicit (and often subconscious) cultural values. While the design of technology reflects an encoding of the designersí implicit cultural values, technology usage reflects the end userís decoding from their own cultural reference frame. As such, culture influences how end users perceive and use information technology. Since technology adoption is more likely when the end usersí values match the implicit cultural values embedded in artefacts during the design stage, it is crucial for the research community to better understand the role culture plays in community technology design and usage. This special issue engages with these issues and invites proposals that explore the role of cultural diversity in potentially informing, supporting, challenging or impacting the design of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) within and across community contexts. To delve into this complex and multi-faceted space, we welcome submissions that 1) engage broadly with the role of culture within technology design and usage for, with and by communities, as well as 2) proposals for approaches, tools, conceptual and methodological frameworks, case studies and best practices in community-based design that exploit cultural diversity as asset and seek to encourage intercultural interactions. Our goal is to offer an interdisciplinary coverage of the area explored, by bringing together perspectives from different domains such as computer science, design studies, cultural anthropology and social sciences. In particular, we welcome contributions that explore the following themes: - Theoretical and reflective engagements with the role of culture and cultural difference in community-based (participatory) design and technology appropriation across cultures - Frameworks, tools, and conceptual engagements tackling inclusion in (participatory) design; The role of technology and technology design in mediating or supporting societal inclusion - Means (methods, tools, frameworks) for cross-cultural transferability of community design and design processes - Limits of transferability and situated, emergent design practices in community contexts - Empirical studies exploring cultural differences in community technology usage and formulating design implications - Metrics, tools, and frameworks for examining cultural differences in community technology usage - Conceptual papers that problematize design, re-framing community design processes from cultural studies and intercultural communication frameworks (e.g. design as a process of encoding values and meaning in artefacts) - Uses, benefits and limitations of ethnography and data-intensive research methods in community-based design - Local community knowledge management and knowledge conversion processes and tools - Building common ground and aligning intentions in multicultural community design projects - Case studies, approaches and best practices in community-based design that explore or engage with issues of connectedness and community cohesion, facilitating intercultural - Awareness, communication and collaboration, and stimulating intercultural interactions across diverse cultural groups ============================= CONTRIBUTION TYPES ============================= We welcome contributions across two formats: - Original Papers: contribute original thinking underpinned by carefully laid out conceptual, methodological or philosophical premises. Within this category, we welcome papers on novel technologies and applications, design or evaluation methods, case studies on existing applications and systems, evaluation studies, and conceptual papers that bring a substantial contribution to advancing knowledge on the aforementioned topics. Original papers mainly address the academic community and future-looking practitioners in the industry. These papers are double blind peer-reviewed by two reviewers and the editorial team. - Open Forum contributions: may include discussion papers, case study articles, work in progress papers, opinion forming and opinionated articles, and articles on emerging and non-established research. They address academic and industrial communities, but equally the average reader, and should be written in a style which makes them accessible and comprehensible for these various audiences. Papers for the Open Forum will be double blind peer-reviewed by one reviewer and the editorial team. These papers are the best format for putting forth controversial or thought-provoking ideas relating to communities, culture and ICTs. =============================== ABOUT THE AI & SOCIETY JOURNAL =============================== AI & Society is an International Journal which publishes refereed scholarly articles, position papers, debates, short communications and reviews. Established in 1987, the journal focuses on the issues of policy, design, applications of information, communications and new media technologies, with a particular emphasis on cultural, social, cognitive, economic, ethical and philosophical implications. AI & Society is broad based and strongly interdisciplinary. It provides an international forum for 'over the horizon' analysis of the gaps and possibilities of rapidly evolving 'knowledge society', with a humanistic vision of society, culture and technology. ============================= SUBMISSION FORMATTING ============================= Interested candidates are asked to submit a paper between 10 and 25 pages in the AI & Societyís manuscript format. You can find more information about formatting under the section "Instructions for Authors" http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/journal/146. For inquiries and to submit your abstract and manuscript, please send an email to: cultech2015 at gmail.com ============================= SPECIAL ISSUE EDITORS ============================= - Nemanja Memarovic, Department of Informatics, University of Zurich, Switzerland - Amalia Sabiescu, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology - RMIT Europe, Spain - Aldo de Moor, CommunitySense, The Netherlands ========================================================================== Aldo de Moor, PhD CommunitySense - for working communities Cavaleriestraat 2, 5017 ET Tilburg, the Netherlands e-mail: ademoor at communitysense.nl mob: +31-6-47011400, tel/fax: +31-13-4564126 site: www.communitysense.nl KvK: 18088302 blog: communitysense.wordpress.com ___twitter: ademoor___ ========================================================================== From douglas at publicsphereproject.org Sun Dec 20 16:13:00 2015 From: douglas at publicsphereproject.org (Doug Schuler) Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2015 16:13:00 -0800 Subject: [Ci4cg-announce] =?utf-8?q?Greetings_from_the_CI4CG_branch_office?= =?utf-8?q?_in_Rainy_Seattle_=C2=A9?= Message-ID: <7FC1648B-103B-4E29-8683-27A928A3F1EE@publicsphereproject.org> Greetings from Rainy Seattle © It's been awhile since I've tried to get free ideas from this group.

My plan is to incorporate the responses to these requests into the introduction to the upcoming AI & Society special issue on CI4CG. This is the 7th question and I'm planning to ultimately ask 10. It would be fantastic if everybody relied to this one. I think / hope that what emerges from this will be useful! No guarantees unfortunately. 7. Please list 2-5 (or more) topics that are the most relevant to your CI4CG work now and where you'd like to see it in the future. This could be traditional (or new) disciplines, focal populations (such as children or low-income communities), specific geographical areas, cross-cutting areas (methodology, integration, etc.), objectives, specific foci (e.g. online deliberation), tools, etc. etc. Did I mention that more is more?

The theme of the conference is “fuse.” The joining of human and computer, body and technology, bits and atoms, art and design, academy and industry, and of north and south – these are important themes in modern-day interaction design, and hence the focus of this year’s conference. Fuse is an active verb that goes beyond the dialectic of interaction and speaks to the merging of entities and the emergence of something new and whole. We are interested in the strong connections designers have to their work, that people have to personal systems, and that we all have to one another. At the same time, fuse is a noun, a bridge in the system that is meant to protect us from harm. We should think not only of strength and disruption, but of fragility and responsibility, and how small acts of design can make an enormous difference. DIS 2016 will be held in the beautiful, subtropical city of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. DIS 2016 will be hosted by Queensland University of Technology surrounding one of the world’s largest digital interactive and learning environments in the new $230 million Science and Engineering Centre. There are three reasons to visit Australia in 2016 with DIS being held back to back with the Vivid Light, Music & Ideas Festival 2016 (vividsydney.com) and the Media Architecture Biennale (MAB) from 1-4 June 2016 in Sydney (mab16.org). DIS 2016 centres on designerly approaches to creating, deploying and critically reflecting on interactive systems. It is an interdisciplinary conference that encompasses how such systems are built, introduced and employed in a wide variety of socio-cultural contexts. We welcome a broad engagement with the field by inviting submissions that consider the following, from a diverse range of researchers and practitioners within the field of interactive systems design: - Design Methods and Processes: Methods, tools, and techniques for engaging people; researching, designing, and co-designing interactive systems; participatory design, design artefacts, research through design; documenting and reflecting on design processes. - Experience: Places, temporality, people, communities, events, phenomena, aesthetics, user experience, usability, engagement, empowerment, wellbeing, designing things that matter, diversity, participation, materiality, making, etc. - Application Domains: Health, ICT4D, children-computer interaction, sustainability, games/entertainment computing, digital arts, etc. - Technological Innovation (systems, tools, and/or artifact designs): Sensors and actuators, mobile devices, multi touch and touchless interaction, social media, personal, community, and public displays. We welcome and encourage theoretical contributions to DIS 2016. Rather than its own subcommittee, please consider submitting theory contributions to any of the above four subcommittees. Papers and Notes accepted for presentation at DIS 2016 are published by the ACM in the Digital Library and have in the past attracted high impact, visibility and citations.

Amazônia) that deal with social and environmental problems. The argument lies in the fact that the presence of strong informal institutions can promote the acceleration of formation of collective intelligence. - Collective intelligence to address income distribution issues. In poor communities, the role of small credit agencies supported by the government or not, has spurred entrepreneurial activity and leveraged income generation in underserved communities with few job opportunities.

Development of computational techniques to measure different facets of the collective intelligence – reasoning process/behavior in online discussions s the main facet being looked at (e.g., the articulated rationales, the persuasive aspect of the text) 2. Development of data repository and data analysis tools to facilitate data curation and data sharing, and to improve collaborative data analysis practices around the repository.
