To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
Final Call for Papers
Deadline Extended
Society 5.0 Conference
Integrating Digital World and Real World to Resolve Challenges in
Business and Society
Virtual forum - 22nd to 24th June 2021
https://www.conference-society5.org/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.confe…>
Due to several requests for extension, we are pleased to inform you that
the submission deadline for research papers to our first Society 5.0
Conference has been extended to 28 March 2021.
Society 5.0 can be defined as a human-centered society that balances
economic advancement with the resolution of social problems by a system
that highly integrates cyberspace (virtual space) and physical (real)
space. The aim of Society 5.0 is to create a society where social
challenges are resolved by incorporating the innovations of the fourth
industrial revolution (e.g. Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial
intelligence, and the sharing economy) into industry and social life.
The term originated in Japan from the government's Council for Science,
Technology, and Innovation and it tackles any aspect of society like
healthcare, mobility, infrastructure, politics, government, economy and
industry.
Society 5.0 also involves the enormous opportunities and challenges of
the 21st century. Problems such as climate change, migration and
resource consumption must be solved jointly and globally. Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) such as poverty and education require
international efforts. Lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic can
have an important impact on dealing with global challenges and crisis
situations. Technological advancements and trends for digital
transformation should assist us to address these global problems.
Convergence of cyberspace and physical space can foster new forms of
global cooperation. People, things, and systems are all connected in
cyberspace. Results obtained by AI can exceed the capabilities of humans
and are fed back to physical space.
The conference Society 5.0 is going to deal with the entire range of
these opportunities and challenges and show solutions. For a list of
topics please refer to the website
https://www.conference-society5.org/call-for-papers<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.confe…>
All submissions will be double blind peer-reviewed by an international
programme committee, and accepted papers will be published in a volume
of Springer CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information
Science<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flink.spri…>)
series (final approval pending). CCIS is abstracted/indexed in DBLP,
Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago and Scopus.
Authors should consult Springer's authors'
guidelines<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sprin…>
and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for

************** Call for Tutorials ***************
***************************************************
The IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and
Self-Organizing Systems
(ACSOS) is the premier forum for sharing the latest research results,
ideas and experiences in
autonomic computing, self-adaptation and self-organization. The mission
of ACSOS is to
provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and industry
practitioners to address these
challenges to make resources, applications, and systems more autonomic,
self-adaptive, and
self-organizing. ACSOS provides a venue to share and present their
experiences, discuss
challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research. The
conference program will
include technical research papers, in-practice experience reports,
vision papers, posters,
demos, and a doctoral symposium.
ACSOS is now seeking proposals for tutorials of broad interest about
tools that are often used
by the scientific community in the topics of the ACSOS conference. The
most popular tutorials
tend to focus on emerging technology and its application to
self-adaptive systems areas -
example technologies might include FPGAs and their toolchains; robotics
control systems such
as ROS; popular machine learning toolkits; or multi-agent systems
experimentation tools. Within
these technologies, a tutorial should have a clear focus on an ACSOS
topic such as:
- Autonomic and Self-* system properties, theory, engineering, and practice
- Data-driven management
- Mechanisms and principles for self-organisation and self-adaptation
- Socio-technical self-* systems
- Autonomic and self-* concepts applied to hardware systems
- Convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and Internet of Things
- Self-adaptive cybersecurity
- Cross disciplinary research
***************************************************
************** Tutorial Proposals ***************
***************************************************
Proposals for tutorials should be organized as a preliminary call for
participation with a
maximum of two pages and contain the following information:
- Title of the tutorial.
- A brief technical description of the tutorial, specifying the tutorial
goals, the technical issues that it will address, and the relevance of

COVID-19 STATUS - UPDATE
========================
The 29th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
will be a virtual conference. We are still figuring out all the details,
which we hope to announce bit by bit during the next couple of months.
Stay tuned for further updates.
=========
ABSTRACT
=========
Adaptive and personalized systems have become pervasive technologies
which are gradually playing an increasingly important role in our daily
lives. Indeed, we are now used to interact every day with algorithms
that help us in several scenarios, ranging from services that suggest us
music to be listened to or movies to be watched, to personal assistants
able to proactively support us in complex decision-making tasks.
As the importance of such technologies in our everyday lives grows, it
is fundamental that the internal mechanisms that guide these algorithms
are as clear as possible. It is not by chance that the recent General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) emphasized the users’ right to
explanation when people face machine learning-based (or more in general
- artificial intelligence-based) systems. Unfortunately, the current
research tends to go in the opposite direction, since most of the
approaches try to maximize the effectiveness of the personalization
strategy (e.g., recommendation accuracy) at the expense of the
explainability and the transparency of the model.
The main research questions which arise from this scenario is simple and
straightforward: how can we deal with such a dichotomy between the need
for effective adaptive systems and the right to transparency and
interpretability?
Several research lines are triggered by this question: building
scrutable user models and transparent al-gorithms, analyzing the impact
of opaque algorithms on final users, studying the role of explanation
strategies, investigating how to provide users with more control in the
personalization and adaptation problems.
The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing such problems,
challenges and innovative re-search approaches in the area, by
investigating the role of transparency and explainability on the re-cent
methodologies for building user models or for developing personalized
and adaptive systems.
======
