-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - HICSS 2023 - Metaverse (opportunity for journal publication) Date: Tue, 31 May 2022 11:02:04 +0100 From: Paulo Rupino Cunha <rupino(a)dei.uc.pt> To: ISWorld list <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS - Metaverse ** NEW: Best papers will be invited to submit to a special Issue of the AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI) ** Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-56), Maui, Hawaii, January 3-6, 2023 http://www.hicss.org/ Metaverse minitrack, under the Organizational Systems and Technology track The term “Metaverse” was first introduced in 1992 by the science fiction writer Neal Stephenson in his novel “Snow Crash”. Metaverse is a portmanteau consisting of “meta” (which means “beyond”), to capture the development of a virtual world beyond the physical reality, and “verse” (which refers to a back-formation from “universe”) to refer to a virtual utopia. Second Life, a multimedia game, was launched in 2003 and was considered as the most important application of Metaverse (or virtual world) at the time. Despite the great attention that Second Life attracted, Metaverse did not manage to create a critical mass possibly due to the novelty of the technology at the time and its lack of interoperability with other solutions. Recently, the technological advancements in blockchain technology, the evolution of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), the technological progress in extended reality (virtual and augmented), the developments in other scientific fields like Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the convergence of all the above technologies have increased the popularity of Metaverse. It is expected that a new generation of Internet will evolve from Metaverse, built of technologies like extended reality, blockchain, and others. The dynamic of Metaverse is huge with many experts predicting that it will generate a multi-trillion market in the coming years. Despite the opportunities and the advantages that Metaverse may offer, there are many open challenges that need to be assessed and addressed including social, legal, ethical, technical, and others. For these reasons, it is important for academics to systematically research this field at various levels. Conferences, with their fast turnaround, play a key role in disseminating knowledge about Metaverse due to the speed at which developments occur. This minitrack aims to bridge a gap at HICSS and serve as a venue to share knowledge and discuss the latest developments in Metaverse. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Open Metaverse · Blockchain and Metaverse · Non-Fungible Tokens and their impact on Metaverse · Metaverse use cases · Social, legal and ethical challenges of Metaverse · Metaverse adoption and diffusion · Virtual economies · Metaverse interoperability · Best Metaverse practices · Metaverse and disruptive innovation · Gaming and virtual worlds · Real estate in Metaverse · Metaverse business models · Extended reality applications · Underlying theories and concepts · Assessing the impact of Metaverse in human relations and behavior · Integrating humans, machines and AI · Cross platform ownership of digital goods · Technologies and infrastructures for virtual worlds Important Dates for Paper Submission: · June 15: Paper Submission Deadline · August 17: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection · September 22: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication Minitrack co-chairs: Marinos Themistocleous (Primary Contact) University of Nicosia themistocleous.m(a)unic.ac.cy Horst Treiblmaier University of Modul Horst.Treiblmaier(a)modul.ac.at Paulo Rupino da Cunha University of Coimbra rupino(a)dei.uc.pt _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP -- Robotic Process Automation Forum at BPM 2022 -- Deadline 6 June 2022
by Gustaf Neumann 27 May '22

27 May '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP -- Robotic Process Automation Forum at BPM 2022 -- Deadline 6 June 2022 Date: Fri, 27 May 2022 12:28:05 +0200 From: Andrea Marrella <marrella(a)diag.uniroma1.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *== CALL FOR PAPERS ==* *Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Forum* https://bpm2022.uni-muenster.de/calls-and-dates/call-for-rpa-forum in conjunction with the 20th Business Process Management Conference (BPM 2022) September 11-15, 2022, Münster, Germany Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an emerging technology in the field of Business Process Management that enables the office automation of intensive repetitive tasks. In essence, it relates to software agents called software robots that mimic how humans use computer applications when performing rule-based and well structured tasks in a business process. Examples of tasks that software robots perform include data transfer between applications through screen scraping, automated email query processing, and collation of payroll data from different sources. RPA is drastically more than just technological innovation. It enables a digital taskforce and, what is more important, a control mechanism over it. The objective for RPA also extends beyond cutting costs; it directly addresses the digital transformation of companies by creating new value, improving the quality of services and products, reducing and controlling task times, and improving work satisfaction by liberating employees from repetitive and tedious tasks. Moreover, RPA has a generative capacity when combined with technologies such as OCR, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, among others, creating new ‘smart’ automation tools. The capabilities and opportunities of RPA challenge a broad set of research communities. Computer scientists are attracted to its various technical aspects, while economists study the impact of RPA on labor and organizational effectiveness and engineers are enabled to connect different data sources, improve the quality of the data and accelerate data analysis. Scholars in the field of information systems are drawn to the question of how to manage the interaction between people and software. Another question is how RPA fits within a corporate program of digital innovation. Finally, RPA has social implications since it may reduce work opportunities for those people who are carrying out simple, manual work. This forum aims to bring together researchers from various communities and disciplines to discuss challenges, opportunities, and new ideas that relate to RPA and its application to business processes in private and public sectors. It is a unique setting where technical, business-oriented, and human-centered perspectives will come together. The forum will incorporate an exciting keynote, presentations of research papers, and a panel discussion. *== TOPICS OF INTEREST ==* The forum solicits contributions related to RPA including, but not limited, to the following topics: RPA Management - Organizational expectations onRPA - Lessons learned from RPA adoptions - Digital transformation through RPA - New work practices and RPA - Impact of RPA - Social impact of RPA - Evolution of working environments for RPA - Economical impact of RPA - Organizational impact of RPA - Changes on business models for RPA - Legal impact of RPA - RPA support RPA Technology - Viability assessment methods for RPA projects - Benchmarking RPA - Monitoring and auditing robots - Governance of RPA - RPA architectures - RPA platforms - RPA standardization - RPA future - Artificial Intelligence and RPA - Collaborative RPA, e.g., chatbots - Conversational interfaces for RPA - RPA future value creation potential - RPA and datafication - Novel paradigms for RPA design - Novel paradigms for RPA developments - Novel paradigms for RPA deployments - Novel paradigms for RPA testing - Novel paradigms for RPA control and operation - Generativity of RPA / RPA-based innovation RPA Applications - Experience reports from practice - General RPA uses cases - RPA in different business functions, e.g. procurement, engineering, controlling, manufacturing, logistics, taxation - RPA in different industries, e.g. banking, insurance, public government, production of goods - Connection with other Office Automation Applications, e.g. Chatbots & Online Booking Systems *== PAPER SUBMISSION ==* Prospective authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers on any of the topics of the forum. Papers must be written in English and must not simultaneously be submitted to another journal, conference, or workshop. The maximum length of the paper is 15 pages. Shorter papers are explicitly welcomed. The following types of submissions are possible: - Technical papers, describing novel research work on RPA, including research results and evaluations. Papers can range from theoretical research to empirical research. These papers must present the ongoing research, novel ideas with preliminary results, advances of the state of the art, and analysis of the current results in the state of the art. - Exploratory papers describe new research positions or approaches that face a generic situation arising because of new RPA tools, activities, or challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate why current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must also rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness in addressing the identified situation. Exploratory papers would lead to interesting discussions by raising key questions, controversial points of view, challenges, and ideas to address the identified issues. - Experience papers evaluate existing problem situations, including problems encountered in practice, or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e., by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, experience reports, simulations, etc. A typical experience paper may be submitted by a practitioner or industrial researcher who has a compelling application or interesting case study to share with the audience of the forum. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. Submissions must be prepared according to the format of Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) specified by Springer. The title page must contain a short abstract and a list of keywords, preferably taking inspiration from the list of topics given above. Papers must be submitted electronically via EasyChair. *== IMPORTANT DATES ==* Paper submission: 6 June 2022 Notification to authors: 8 July 2022 Camera Ready submission: 18 July 2022 Conference/Forum: 13-15 September 2022 Deadlines should be interpreted using the Anywhere on Earth (AoE) Time Zone. *== PC CHAIRS ==* Bernhard Axmann, Technical University of Ingolstadt Andrea Marrella, Sapienza University of Rome *== KEYNOTE SPEAKER ==* Speaker: Tathagata Chakraborti, IBM Research Title: Emergent Process Composition from Natural Language Inputs *== PROGRAM COMMITTEE ==* Simone Agostinelli, Sapienza University of Rome Aleksandre Asatiani, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Tathagata Chakraborti, IBM Research NY Christian Czarnecki, Hochschule Hamm-Lippstadt Adela del Río-Ortega, University of Seville Carmelo Del Valle, University of Seville José González Enríquez, University of Seville Lukas-Valentin Herm, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg Hannu Jaakkola, University of Tampere Christian Janiesch, TU Dortmund University, Germany Andrés Jiménez Ramírez, University of Seville Volodymyr Leno, The University of Melbourne Tommi Mikkonen, University of Helsinki Hajo A.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Second CfP HICSS-56 2023 Informing Research: Engaging with Futures Mini-track
by Gustaf Neumann 26 May '22

26 May '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Second CfP HICSS-56 2023 Informing Research: Engaging with Futures Mini-track Date: Wed, 25 May 2022 10:09:58 +0000 From: Dirk Hovorka <dirk.hovorka(a)sydney.edu.au> To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> HICSS-56 2023 Mini-track Informing Research: Engaging with Futures (Organizational Systems and Technology track) The "Informing Research: Engaging with Futures" mini-track invites submissions which explore future and possible worlds rather than being rooted in analysis of what is or has been. We are looking for contributions that break with well-trodden empirical and conceptual conventions to help academia build a novel set of concepts and instruments to generate useful theory for shaping digital future(s). For us, this objective is soundly anchored in the Information Systems discipline's increasing interest in the process and implications of global, societal, economic, and individual digitalization. We particularly think of this challenge as one where analyses and extrapolation from the present fails to provide meaningful insights beyond projecting that status quo into the future, albeit in a more technicized version of itself. Rather, we seek ways for science to become more insightful, informative, and instructive to active shapers of post-digital life worlds- or even to become an active shaper itself. Exciting submissions will approach the challenge we are presenting by making either a theoretical contribution or a methodological one. In the former, we are looking for advances in the role and development of forward-looking theory in IS research and encourage research that rethinks the processes of theory formulation, theory replacement, or theory envisioning. The latter will contribute to a collective effort to build methods for engaging with future and possible worlds. Current future-studies approaches (e.g., scenarios; technology foresight) could be extended into new realms. Of particular interest are papers which present speculative or creative processes to address questions regarding, for example, specific methodological setups of studies engaging with post-digital futures, the meaning and evolution of scholarly quality criteria (e.g., rigor or validity), or ways of engaging those with a stake in the future. Papers which use the future as a site of inquiry to inform present re search and action have a great potential of being considered for our mini-track's intended program. We continue our mini-track's mission to challenge scholars to focus attention on "new phenomena, disclose new perspectives on phenomena, and illuminate new research agendas and programs" against the background of, and pushing past existing theorization and methods. We encourage interested contributors to review the mini-track's calls for papers from previous years to further illuminate the thinking which will guide our review and editorial decision processes. Prospective authors are advised that the track does not look for topical contributions which are best submitted to one of the conference's other (mini-)tracks. Papers in this mini-track must explicitly provide the basis for more speculative future-leaning conceptualizations of phenomenon or provide insight on how to provide such concepts. The deadline for submission of full manuscripts: June 15, 2022 For further conference details, schedules and submission guidelines please see: http://www.hicss.org/ We hope to see you on Maui in January 2023!

On the one hand, new and emerging topics such as Responsible Knowledge Management, Spiritual Knowledge Management or KM in Purpose-driven Organizations are gaining traction in research and practice. On the other hand, the ever increasing computational capacities and features of digital technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, are changing how we collaborate, communicate and connect, pathing the way for powerful modern Knowledge Management Systems. What do all these changes mean for the way we understand and study knowledge and KM? This minitrack is intended to bring together novel ideas to explore the future role of KM research and KM practice in a changing and increasingly dynamic world. Our overall goal is to take first steps in defining a research agenda for KM of the future. Researchers and practitioners are invited to share and present their ideas and proposals which topics KM research should address in the next decade. We welcome submissions for this minitrack adopting different theoretical lenses and world views, using a variety of research methods and conceptual ideas, and exploring the topic with a visionary mindset. Topics covered include (but are not limited to): * What role should KM play in an increasingly connected world and how to ensure that role is realized? * Novel KM research ways and approaches that contribute to insights on how people, organizations, and society in general can thrive in a changing and increasingly complex world. * What role does KM play in the transformation towards sustainable business? * Business Ethics and KM – what can KM contribute to doing well by doing good? * How can new approaches to KM, such as Responsible KM, be concretized and translated into tools, techniques, and methods? * What are epistemological alternatives to the prevailing paradigm of instrumental-calculative rationality, i.e., to the reliance on rational knowledge and thinking? * KM and Organizational Spirituality – what is their link? * What is the role of practical wisdom (i.e., phronesis) in managing organizations? * How can the realization of an organization’s purpose and KM be connected? * How can KM support topics such as Organizational Becoming or Organizational Self-Enactment? * What is the role of tacit knowledge and how can the use of tacit knowledge be further improved in organizations and at the individual level? * KM as an enabler for remote work * KM as the foundation for Artificial Intelligence – or Artificial Intelligence as enabler for KM, or both directions? * How much knowledge is in Knowledge Graphs? * In what ways do new digital technologies change how people and organizations communicate and collaborate, and how does this change KM? * What is the role of established KM frameworks in an increasingly digital world? * What is the role of unlearning in envisioning as well as adopting new KM practices? This minitrack welcomes all types of contributions, both conceptual and empirical, using a variety of methods to provide new insights into the first steps of a research agenda for KM of the future.

Information pings around the world at the speed of a click, becoming a kind of borderless currency that underpins the digital economy. *Era of Borderless Data Is Ending* /*The New York Times* David McCabe; Adam Satariano May 23, 2022/ More than 50 countries, including France, Austria, and South Africa, are boosting their efforts to control digital information generated by citizens, government agencies, and corporations. To achieve such "digital sovereignty," these nations are imposing rules and standards governing how data can and cannot be transmitted worldwide. Technology companies are adapting to the new rules, with Microsoft making changes so customers can keep data with certain geographies, Amazon Web Services allowing customers to control where in Europe their data is stored, and Google Cloud striking deals with local tech and telecom providers in France, Spain, and Germany to oversee customer data. *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fdbx071…> * *May Require Paid Registration An image of 13-year-old Sedar Soares, a young footballer shot dead in 2003. *Dutch Police Use 'Deepfake' Video in Appeal Over Boy's Murder* /*EuroNews* Matthew Holroyd May 24, 2022/ Dutch police produced a deepfake video to support an appeal to the public for information about the 2003 killing of teenage footballer Sedar Soares. The police artificially manipulated footage to depict Soares crossing a football pitch (soccer field) with a ball under his arm, surrounded by his relatives, friends, and teachers. "The use of the 'deepfake' is not just a lucky shot, we are convinced that it can touch hearts in the criminal environment," said the National Criminal Investigation Team's Daan Annegarn. Sedar's sister Janet acknowledged, "It's not going to bring Sedar back, but hopefully, it will bring answers." *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fdcx071…> * *Charting a Safe Course Through a Highly Uncertain Environment* /*MIT News* Adam Zewe May 19, 2022/ Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have developed a technique that could help autonomous spacecraft navigate remote exoplanets without needing to understand environmental conditions or potential obstacles. The technique aims to help spacecraft plot a safe trajectory to a specific region when its exact starting point is unknown and it is uncertain how its movement will be affected by external conditions. The researchers developed algorithms that handle trajectory planning as a probabilistic optimization problem, enabling the robot to achieve objectives like maximizing velocity or minimizing fuel consumption while factoring in safety constraints. When applied to simulated scenarios, the algorithms were able to develop safe trajectories within minutes. *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fddx071…> * The intelligent reflecting IRShield is positioned next to a Wi-Fi router to obfuscate the environment-dependent wireless channel. *Countermeasure Against Unwanted Wireless Surveillance* /*Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany)* Annika Gödde May 24, 2022/ Researchers from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, and the Cologne University of Applied Sciences have developed a system to protect privacy in wireless communications based on intelligent reflective surfaces (IRS). To prevent passive eavesdroppers from obtaining sensitive data transmitted via wireless communications through intercepted high-frequency signals, the team created IRS, which distributes many reflective elements over a surface and electronically adjusts the reflective behavior of each. Their IRShield solution uses an algorithm to create a random IRS configuration that disguises the wireless channels used so attackers are unable to read information about movements in the room from the signal. In testing, the researchers found IRShield was able to thwart 95% of such attacks. *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fdex071…> * The model predicted how a zinc oxide nanopyramid interrupts a protein in MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which causes antibiotic-resistant infections. *Nanobiotics: Model Predicts How Nanoparticles Interact with Proteins* /*University of Michigan* May 16, 2022/ University of Michigan (U-M) researchers developed a machine learning model that can predict interactions between nanoparticles and proteins, potentially paving the way for the creation of engineered nanoparticles able to disrupt antibiotic-resistant infections. The new algorithm compares nanoparticles to proteins using a conventional chemical description, as well as descriptions of the protein's complex surface and how it could reconfigure itself to allow for lock-and-key fits with specific proteins. Said U-M's Nicholas Kotov, "By applying mathematical methods to protein-protein interactions, we have streamlined the design of nanoparticles that mimic one of the proteins in these pairs. Nanoparticles are more stable than biomolecules and can lead to entirely new classes of antibacterial and antiviral agents." *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fdfx071…> * *Objects Can Now Be 3D-Printed in Opaque Resin* /*EPFL News (Switzerland)* Valérie Geneux May 23, 2022/ Engineers at Switzerland's École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a three-dimensional (3D) printing method that uses light rays to make objects out of opaque resin in seconds. While most 3D printers work by depositing a material layer by layer, “We pour the resin into a container and spin it,” says EPFL's Christophe Mose. “Then we shine light on the container at different angles, causing the resin to solidify wherever the accumulated energy in the resin exceeds a given level." Since light does not propagate smoothly through the resin, the engineers used computers to calculate how to compensate for the light-ray distortion, then programmed their printer to correct for distortion as it operates. *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe0x071…> * *Cooperation Rewards Water Utilities* /*Texas Advanced Computing Center* Jorge Salazar May 19, 2022/ Researchers at the University of North Carolina and Cornell University used the Stampede2 supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to study the benefits of cooperation among urban water utilities in the North Carolina Research Triangle. Using a computational model developed in conjunction with the region’s utilities, the researchers simulated the utilities' risk management and long-term infrastructure planning decisions through 2060. Among other things, the researchers found cooperation has its benefits in terms of utility supply and financial needs, although more flexible agreements can expose each utility to its partners' risks and uncertainties. Said Cornell's David Gold, "Without supercomputing capabilities, we're flying blind in terms of how the water supply system reacts to different types of uncertainties, whether it's population growth or changing climate." *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe1x071…> * *AI Powered Autonomous Cargo Ship for 500 Miles* /*Interesting Engineering* Ameya Paleja May 16, 2022/ A 749-gross-ton vessel is the first commercial cargo ship to be navigated entirely by artificial intelligence (AI) during a nearly 500-mile, 40-hour journey from Tokyo Bay to Ise Bay in Japan. The Suzaka was outfitted with Israeli startup Orca AI’s Automatic Ship Target Recognition System as part of a collaboration with Japan’s NYK Line shipping company. Data from the Orca system, which offers real-time data detection, tracking, classification, range estimation, and 360-degree views, was monitored by a fleet operations center in Tokyo. During the journey, the onboard navigational software made 107 collision avoidance maneuvers without human assistance, avoiding 400 to 500 vessels along the way. *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe2x071…> * *Scientists Use Quantum Computers to Simulate Quantum Materials* /*Argonne National Laboratory* Jared Sagoff May 24, 2022/ Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago (UChicago) conducted quantum simulations of spin defects, improving the accuracy of quantum computer calculations by correcting for hardware noise. The researchers applied this method in an experiment that simulated the properties of materials for next-generation quantum technologies. Said UChicago's Giulia Galli, "We want to learn how to use new computational technologies that are up-and-coming. Developing robust strategies in the early days of quantum computing is an important first step in being able to understand how to use these machines efficiently in the future." *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe3x071…> * *Trilobite-Inspired Camera Boasts Huge Depth of Field* /*IEEE Spectrum* Charles Q. Choi May 23, 2022/ Chinese and U.S. researchers collaborated on the development of a camera with a massive depth of field, which can simultaneously image objects as close as 3 centimeters (1.1 inches) and as far off as 1.7 km (1.05 miles). The researchers modeled the light-field camera after the compound eyes of the extinct trilobite /Dalmanitina socialis/, fabricating metasurface lenses studded with millions of nanometer-scale pillars. The metalenses capture and split light into waves whose electric fields are circularly polarized clockwise or counterclockwise; each nanopillar bends these light waves by different amounts, focusing them on near or far objects. The researchers adapted a convolutional neural network to enable the metalens to focus on intermediate distances, helping the camera reassemble light-field data over a large depth of field from a single shot. *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe4x071…> * *UT, Meta Create Digital Humans That Learn Complex Movements* /*University of Twente (Netherlands)* May 23, 2022/ Researchers at Meta's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Laboratory and at the University of Twente (UT) in the Netherlands modeled digital humans using the MyoSuite open-source framework they jointly developed. MyoSuite enables the co-simulation of AI-powered musculoskeletal systems that can learn to execute complex movements as they physically interact with assistive robots. The system also can model how such robots could be designed and controlled to help restore movement to real people who suffer from some impairment. "We hope that diverse features supported by our framework will open new opportunities in understanding neuromechanical systems interacting with artificial robotic agents," said UT's Massimo Sartori. *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe5x071…> * A woman uses a digital driver’s license to show proof of her identity and age. *'Tough to Forge' Digital Driver's License Actually Easy to Forge* /*Ars Technica* Dan Goodin May 24, 2022/ Security researchers have found that the supposedly hard-to-counterfeit digital driver's licenses (DDLs) in use in New South Wales, Australia, actually can be easily altered. Introduced in 2019, DDLs are used with an iOS or Android application that displays each holder's identity and age, and permits authentication. Researcher Noah Farmer found the DDL can be cracked by brute-forcing the four-digit personal identification number that encrypts the data, which can take less than an hour using publicly available scripts and a commodity computer. Once a hacker accesses encrypted DDL data, brute force enables them to read and alter anything stored on the file. Farmer aired the flaws in a blog post last week; it is not clear how, or if, Service NSW, which issued the digital driver’s licenses, plans to respond. *Full Article <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe6x071…> * 2021 ACM-W Webinar <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe7x071…> ACM Online Books and Courses <https://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-2eaf1x333fe8x071…> <https://www.facebook.com/pages/ACM-Association-for-Computing-Machinery/1792…> <http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=36836> <http://twitter.com/TheOfficialACM> <http://rss.acm.org/technews/technews.xml> *Association for Computing Machinery* 1601 Broadway, 10th Floor New York, NY 10019-7434 1-800-342-6626 (U.S./Canada) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *ACM Media Sales* If you are interested in advertising in ACM TechNews or other ACM publications, please contact ACM Media Sales <mailto:acmmediasales@acm.org> or (212) 626-0686, or visit _ACM Media_ <http://www.acm-media.org> for more information.

The success of the previous events shows that RCRA is becoming a major forum for exchanging ideas and proposing experimentation methodologies for algorithms in Artificial Intelligence. * ______________________________________________________________________ * IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: July 10th, 2022 Notification of acceptance: August 1st, 2022 Final version of accepted original papers: August 22nd, 2022 RCRA workshop: September 5th, 2022 AIMS AND SCOPE Many problems in Artificial Intelligence show an exponential explosion of the search space. Although stemming from different research areas in AI, such problems are often addressed with algorithms that have a common goal: the effective exploration of huge state spaces. Many algorithms developed in one research area are applicable to other problems, or can be hybridized with techniques in other areas. Artificial Intelligence tools often exploit or hybridize techniques developed by other research communities, such as Operations Research. In recent years, research in Artificial Intelligence has more and more focused on experimental evaluation of algorithms, the development of suitable methodologies for experimentation and analysis, the study of languages and the implementation of systems for the definition and solution of problems. Scope of the workshop is fostering the cross-fertilization of ideas stemming from different areas, proposing benchmarks for new challenging problems, comparing models and algorithms from an experimental viewpoint, and, in general, comparing different approaches with respect to efficiency, problem modeling, and ease of development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experimental evaluation of algorithms for o knowledge representation o automated reasoning o planning o scheduling o machine learning o model checking o boolean satisfiability (SAT) o constraint programming o argumentation o temporal reasoning o combinatorial optimization o quantified boolean formulae and quantified constraints o modal logics o logic programming o answer set programming o ontological reasoning * Definition and construction of benchmarks * Experimentation methodologies * Metaheuristics * Algorithm hybridization * Static analysis of combinatorial problems * Languages and systems for definition and solution of problems * Comparisons between systems and algorithms * Application experiences (visualization, graphics, security, transports,...)
