ECAI 2020
========
The biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is
Europe's premier venue for presenting scientific results in AI. Under
the general theme "Paving the way towards Human-Centric AI", the 24th
edition of ECAI will be held in Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO's World
Heritage City which is the destination of unique Routes that cross all
Europe since the Middle Ages. The conference dates are 10-12 June 2020,
with the workshops taking place on 8-9 June. Save these dates!
We had a record number of submissions for the Main Conference this year.
We had more than 1700 abstract submissions and we reviewed 1443 papers
of which 1363 full papers and 80 2-page highlight papers. Due to space
limitations we were only able to accept 365 full-papers and 36 2-page
highlight papers, yielding an acceptance rate of 26.8% for full-papers
and 45% for 2-page highlight papers. The competition was particularly
stiff this year due to the very large number of submissions (more than
the double of the last ECAI stand-alone editions).

Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - AMCIS 2020 Minitrack: Civic and Democratic
Processes in Digital Age
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2020 15:39:50 +0000
From: Vikas Jain <VJAIN(a)ut.edu>

Call for Papers
Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS'20)
August 12-16, 2020
Salt Lake City, Utah
Track: Advances in Information Systems Research
Minitrack: Civic and Democratic Processes in Digital Age
Description:
The emergence of newer technologies such as smart devices social media,
or Internet of Things (IoT) has redefined how citizens engage in civic
and democratic processes. The recent events like US presidential
elections in 2016 or earlier events like Arab Uprising demonstrate the
profound impact that such newer technologies can have in reshaping the
democratic processes. With the potential to influence millions of people
across the world, such new technologies have not only enabled new ways
to engage people in civic processes but have also posed challenges to
governments across the world in ensuring that citizens are appropriately
informed. It is an opportune time to engage in a research discussion on
how to leverage newer technologies to strengthen existing civic and
democratic processes and minimize some of the unintended consequences.
The objective of this mini-track is to provide a forum for discussion
and presentation of original research highlighting role of newer
technologies like smart devices, social media, or Internet of Things
(IoT), in shaping the technical, organizational, managerial and
socio-economic aspects of civic and democratic processes. We seek to
invite papers that identify emerging frameworks of democratic engagement
enabled by these newer technologies and highlight the
opportunities/challenges posed to governments across the world. We seek
papers from a theoretical, conceptual, or empirical perspective to set
the stage for future research direction for reshaping civic engagement
using newer technologies across countries. Both quantitative as well as
qualitative studies from developed and developing countries perspectives
are encouraged.
Potential topics may include (but are not limited to):
* Impact of social media on civic and democratic processes
* New civic and democratic engagement models/frameworks in digital age
* Information bias and its impact on civic and democratic processes
* Rumors and fake news in digital age and its impact on democratic outcomes
* Civic engagement challenges in digital age
* Evaluation models for assessing impact of newer information
technologies on civic and democratic processes
* Data analytics strategies to expand civic and democratic engagement
* Case studies documenting success/failure of information technologies
in expanding civic and democratic engagement
Paper submissions must be made electronically through AMCIS 2020
Manuscript Submission Site https://new.precisionconference.com/ais.
Papers will be peer reviewed using a double-blind system.
Important Dates:
Jan. 6, 2020: Submission system opens
Feb. 28, 2020: Completed Research and ERF submissions due (5:00p.m. MST)
April 22, 2020: Camera-ready papers due (5:00p.m. MST)

ISWC is the premier venue for presenting state of the art research and
innovative systems related to the Semantic Web and Linked Data,
attracting a large number of high quality submissions every year and
participants from both academia and industry. ISWC brings together
researchers from different areas, such as knowledge representation,
artificial intelligence, databases, natural language processing,
information systems, human computer interaction, information retrieval,
web science, etc., who investigate, develop and use novel methods and
technologies for representing, accessing, interpreting, and using
information on the Web in a more effective way.
Besides the main technical program, ISWC will host several workshops on
topics related to the general theme of the conference. The role of the
workshops is to provide a setting for focused, intensive scientific
exchange among researchers and practitioners interested in a specific
topic. As such, workshops are the primary venues for the exploration of
emerging ideas as well as for the discussion of novel aspects of
established research topics.
In addition, ISWC 2020 will feature a tutorial program addressing the
diverse interests of its audience: Semantic Web practitioners that wish
to learn about new technologies, novices to the Semantic Web interested
in introductory tutorials to key Semantic Web / Linked Data topics,
government and industry representatives focusing on the applicability of
Semantic Web / Linked Data technologies in practical settings.
We hereby invite you to submit a workshop or tutorial proposal on a
research topic relevant to the ISWC 2020 audience.

Call for Panels Submissions at ECSCW 2020
ECSCW Panels aim to inspire, explore and provoke ECSCW 2020 attendees to
engage with emerging and innovative topics that have the ability to
transform and push CSCW research in a new direction. Panels are a unique
opportunity to pull together a diverse range of experts who can offer
contrasting viewpoints and positions.
Ideally, panel proposals will have 3-4 participants who represent a
diversity of ideas and approaches related to a given topic. Topics
should be novel, lively, or controversial, inspiring the audience to
respond and further elaborate on ideas. Panels should be facilitated by
a strong moderator who will guide the conversation and the audience in
expressing their opinions. In addition, we encourage panel organizers to
think creatively about how they will facilitate audience interaction in
the discussions.
Submission Information
ECSCW research is not limited geographically, therefore, we invite
proposals from all over the globe. We encourage organisers to include
diversity of genders, experiences, nationalities, languages, races, and
ethnicities in their panels. Proposals may include:
* Topics that are likely to evoke lively debates among ECSCW attendees
* Diverse set of panelists, each with their own unique perspective on
the topic
* Well-structured session plan emphasizing audience interaction (e.g.,
structured in terms of questions for panelists and audience)
* Content that is not necessarily suitable as a paper
Submissions of 2-4 pages should be sent via email at
panels(a)ecscw.eusset.eu <mailto:panels@ecscw.eusset.eu>. Please follow
the exploratory papers template for your proposals. The template can be
downloaded as RTF

theories and methods usually associated with collective intelligence,
data science, human-centric computing, knowledge management, network
science, autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. It is committed to
addressing research that both deepens the understanding of
computational, logical, cognitive, physical, and social foundations of
the future Web, and enables the development and application of
intelligent technologies.
The main theme for the WI-IAT '20 is "Web Intelligence = AI in the
Connected World".

approaches to IoT design and implementation, abstracts that sketch
intriguing IoT systems and share preliminary results and exciting
demonstrations of novel IoT technology, applications and hardware. We
invite contributions from researchers and practitioners from industry
and academia. IoTDI 2020 will be part of CPS-IoT Week in beautiful
Sydney, Australia. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Analytic foundations and theory of IoT
* Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness in IoT systems
* Novel protocols and network abstractions
* Data streaming architectures and machine learning analytics for IoT
* IoT-motivated cyber-physical and Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems
* Novel quality requirements and their enforcement mechanisms
* Cloud back-ends and resource management for IoT applications
* Edge and fog computing
* Personal, wearable, and other embedded networked front-ends
* Social computing and human-in-the-loop issues
* Applications domains (e.g., smart cities, smart health, smart
buildings, smart transportation)
* Deployment experiences, case studies & lessons learned
* Evaluation and testbeds
* AI/ML for IoT & Embedded Systems
* Energy/Power Management & Harvesting for IoT Platforms
The 2-page extended abstract describing the poster or demo will be
evaluated based on technical merit, innovation, and the potential to
stimulate lively discussions at the conference. Accepted abstracts will
appear in the conference proceedings. At least one author of each
accepted abstract must register and present the poster/demo at the
conference.
MADNESS SESSION
IoTDI’20 and IPSN’20 will co-host a 1-minute madness session, during
which the author of each accepted poster or demo has EXACTLY one minute
to introduce their work at the main conference venue. Based on the
feedback from past years' attendees, the 1-minute madness session is
perceived as lively and interesting, and is typically very well attended.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
* Poster and demonstration abstracts should be at most 2 single-spaced
US Letter (8.5” x 11”) pages, including all figures, tables, and
references. All submissions must use the LaTeX (preferred) or Word
styles found at
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.ht…
Note that due to having both ACM and IEEE sponsorship, IoTDI uses ACM
and IEEE templates alternating between the years. For 2020, we will use
IEEE templates as linked above using the 10-point type.
* The review process is single-blind, so there is no need to anonymize
the submissions.
* The title of the abstract should be prepended with "Poster Abstract:"
or "Demo Abstract:". Please make sure to include the name, affiliation,
and contact information of all authors.
* Demonstration abstracts should list any special requirements (tables,
power, wireless connectivity, etc.) in the submission on a separate
third page. This third page is not part of the technical content of the
abstract, can be formatted at the discretion of the authors, and will
not be included in the camera-ready version of your abstract.
