MIT Presence: Special Issue on Subliminal/unaware cues and perception of presence... (deadline extended to Aug. 15)
by Andreas Riener 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

We apologize for any cross-postings. 2nd Call for Papers Special Issue of Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments Subliminal/unaware cues and perception of presence in virtual, tele- presence, and automotive environments Submissions due: extended to August 15, 2013 ************************************************************************* This special issue focuses on the role of a special category of sensory cues in the sense of 'presence': subliminal and unaware sensory stimuli in Virtual Environments (VE). The central objective is to provoke an active debate on the impact, role, and adequacy of using unaware or below threshold information in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * The impact of unaware/subliminal cues on user?s feelings, attitudes, and behavior. * Subliminal cues and the user?s sense of presence or immersion in VE. * Subliminal cues and improvement of a user?s performance in VE although it is generally accepted that such stimuli are weak. * Systematic approach to taxonomy (i.e., definition and terminology) of subliminal perception and other interchangeable or contrary terms, including implicit, supraliminal, priming, conscious, preconscious, unconscious, subconscious, below awareness, (etc.) in the context of VE/teleoperation systems or the automotive domain. * Philosophy or rationale for the use of subliminal interfaces in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. * Ethical issues of application of subliminal perception in VE, teleoperation systems or vehicular interfaces. * Social interaction based on subliminal/unaware cues. * Socio-technical issues such as social acceptance, preference, privacy issues, security issues, and attitudes towards technologies that include cues which the user is unaware of. * Guidelines of the application of subliminal perception in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. * Case study of application of subliminal perception/cues/interfaces in VE, teleoperation, automotive applications, or augmented reality in general. * Subliminal cues and interfaces such as head-mounted displays, vibrotactile transducers, olfactory stimulation, brain-computer interfaces (BCI). * Domain-specific approach to subliminal perception (e.g., remote vehicles, driving simulator, aviation, robotics, or other teleopera- tion tasks). * Modalities: visual perception (flashing picture, video, text, etc.), auditory perception (compressed speech, music, non-speech sounds, etc.), haptic/tactile perception, olfactory, or fusion of those. * Evaluation and validation methodologies for the effects of subliminal information (qualitative, quantitative validations). * Characteristics of subliminally delivered information (e.g., reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, speed of perception, strength/duration/frequency of subliminal interaction). * Subliminally delivered information and its relationship with other constructs - cognitive workload, perceived performance, situation awareness, emotions, etc. * Individual differences in threshold of subliminal perception (age, gender, characteristics, (dis)abilities, cognitive style, cultural/ ethnologic background, etc.). * Risk assessment of the use of subliminal interfaces and strategies to reduce its risk. Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers will be selected based on scientific rigor, originality, novelty, and presentation quality. By submitting a paper to this special issue, the authors guarantee that their papers are not currently submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere.

1st Call For Paper: e-Energy 2014. Deadline January 15th, 2014
by Jean-Marc PIERSON 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Preliminary Call for Papers: ACM e-Energy 2014 Cambridge, UK, June 11-13 2014 Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next-generation "smart" and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The fifth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Cambridge UK in June 2014, aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: . Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: ACM Workshop on Crowdsourcing for Recommender Systems (CrowdRec 2013) Datum: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 18:24:49 +0800 Von: Sheng-Wei (Kuan-Ta) Chen <swc(a)IIS.SINICA.EDU.TW> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG ==== CALL FOR PAPERS ==== CrowdRec 2013 International ACM Workshop on Crowdsourcing for Recommender Systems held in conjunction with ACM Recommender Systems 2013 October 12--16 2013, Hong Kong http://crowdrec2013.noahlab.com.hk/ We are pleased to announce the first workshop on crowdsourcing and human computation for recommender systems. The recommender systems we refer to as a broad spectrum of applications involving recommendation, information valuation, filtering, summarization, etc. in various contexts from e-commerce to social networking and mobile applications. This workshop aims to provide a scholarly venue for researchers and practitioners to exchange the advances of crowdsourcing and human computation technologies and applications, with an emphasis on the applications in recommendation systems. The potentials and advantages of crowdsourcing and human computation have been explored for a number of areas such as computer-human interaction and information retrieval, we believe that these advances can also benefit the research of recommender systems at large. Submissions are invited on theories, experiments, and explorations of how human (or the crowd) can involve the process of information valuation and recommendation. Topics include, but are not limited to the use of crowds and/or human computation, in the following areas of research: Ground-truth annotation - Annotator user interface - Games with a purpose (GWAP) or other annotation-as-byproduct designs - Effective learning from crowd inputs - Mining from social media Large-scale evaluation of recommender systems - Recommender evaluation metrics and studies - Personalization support - User modeling and profiling Crowdsourcing and human computation methodologies - Security, privacy, trust, and reputation management - Quality assurance and cheat detection - Economics and incentive structures - Programming languages, tools and platforms providing enhanced support - Empirical and case studies of using crowdsourcing for recommendation - Policy and cultural issues related to crowd recommendation ----------- SUBMISSIONS ----------- CrowdRec 2013 welcomes submissions of full papers, as well as short papers reporting work-in-progress. Full papers must be no longer than 6 pages (inclusive of all figures, references, and appendices). Short papers are 2 pages, and will be presented as Posters in an interactive setting. All submissions must be written in English and must be formatted according to the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. Papers will be judged on their relevance, technical content and correctness, and the clarity of presentation of the submitted work. Please see the workshop website for detailed instructions of paper submission. ------------ PUBLICATIONS ------------ Accepted full and short papers will appear in the ACM Recommender Systems 2013 Proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. Each accepted paper requires at least one of the authors to obtain a workshop registration. Also, one of the authors (or a qualified substitute) must give a presentation of the paper at the workshop. Otherwise, the paper will not be indexed by the ACM Digital Library. --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission due: July 19, 2013 Author notification: August 16, 2013 Camera-ready due: August 30, 2013 Workshop date: October 12, 2013 -------------------- ORGANIZING COMMITTEE -------------------- General Co-Chairs: * Kuan-Ta Chen, Academia Sinica * Irwin King, The Chinese University of Hong Kong Program Co-Chairs: * Omar Alonso, Microsoft * Albert Ching-man Au Yeung, Noah's Ark Lab, Huawei ------- CONTACT ------- For general inquiries, please contact Kuan-Ta Chen (swc(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw <mailto:swc@iis.sinica.edu.tw>); for submission and program-related issues, please contact Albert Ching-man Au Yeung (albertauyeung(a)gmail.com <mailto:albertauyeung@gmail.com>).
