-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [CFP] The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Distributed and Intelligent Systems - DistInSys 2021 - ISCC 2021 Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2021 15:30:17 -0300 From: Edelberto Franco <edelberto(a)ice.ufjf.br> CC: edelberto(a)ice.ufjf.br <edelberto(a)ice.ufjf.br> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ===================================================== The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Distributed and Intelligent Systems DistInSys 2021 Athens, Greece, September 5-8, 2021 https://fcrlab.unime.it/calls/distinsys2021 in conjunction with the Twenty-Sixth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (IEEE ISCC) ===================================================== The digital environment that we populate is becoming more complex every day. Several devices are now connected to each other and to the Internet, generating large data volume moved back and forth between edge and data centers and processed everywhere. This growth is not about to stop, and we have to be ready for cutting-edge technologies when they become cheaper, such as wearable and robotics. The main solution is decomposing systems into smaller, distributed, efficient, intelligent, and autonomous units responsible for local decision-making and control, letting them explore knowledge stored locally and communicate among themselves only when needed. That solution opens issues when discussing the systems design, data and knowledge exchange, analysis of proper and optimal coupling of system parts as well as integration of subsystems introducing a completely diverse nature into the overall framework. This workshop aims to collect original papers in the field of distributed systems (i.e., distributed problem solving, orchestration of data and services over Cloud and Edge Computing) and intelligent systems (i.e., swarm intelligence, multi-agent systems, and distributed artificial intelligence). Authors are encouraged to contribute by presenting new studies, algorithms, and use cases. Submitted papers must be original and not currently be under review by another conference or journal.

Especially the human factor of information systems is a pivotal role in information security and increasingly relevant in establishing user-privacy concepts. More often than not, their knowledge about security aspects and ways of user-manipulation tactics are the last line of defense against cyber-attacks. However, studies show users are also seen as the weakest link in information security. Therefore, they are also the primary target of attackers.� In addition to the traditional forms of user-computer-interactions in the form of mouse-keyboard-input-devices, new ways of system-interactions, e.g., physiological data from fitness-trackers, eye-tracking devices or even pupillary responses indicating cognitive-load-levels, are increasingly feasible as everyday HCI-components. With the interest in data privacy increasing, are users aware how valuable those personal input data is and how do they value data privacy measures? Therefore, we have identified two main aspects relevant to researchers within the domain of Software Technology: 1) how to securely deal with input data (also focusing on privacy aspects) 2) how this data can be utilized in order to increase secure behavior or to raise awareness among users (help the users to make better security-related decisions) � In this minitrack we seek papers that explore concepts, prototypes and evaluations of how users interact with information systems and what implications these interactions have for information security and privacy. Further, we welcome new and innovative ways of human-computer-interaction and security-related concepts currently examined in the field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Security related devices * Physiological sensors * Human-Computer-Interaction * Artificial intelligence * Blockchain applications * Sensor analysis * Data visualization * Biometrics authentication * Security and privacy awareness * Usable security design * Privacy and security by design * Privacy and smart contracts * User valuation of privacy * Validation of user data � *Organizers:* Prof. Dr. Nicholas Müller, University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (UASWS), nicholas.mueller(a)fhws.de <mailto:nicholas.mueller@fhws.de> Prof. Dr. Kristin Weber (UASWS), kristin.weber(a)fhws.de <mailto:kristin.weber@fhws.de> Prof. Dr. Paul Rosenthal, University of Rostock,� paul.rosenthal(a)uni-rostock.de <mailto:paul.rosenthal@uni-rostock.de> � *Publication of Papers:* Presented papers will be included in the Proceedings of HICSS-55 � *Important Dates:* April 15, 2021: Paper Submission Opens June 15, 2021: Paper Submission Deadline (11:59 pm HST) August 17, 2021: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 22, 2021: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication October 1, 2021: Deadline for at least one author of to register for HICSS-55 January 4-7, 2022: Paper presentations � *Author instructions:* https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ <applewebdata://CE9E8085-CCCD-4445-BAF8-948469141B1B/%0ahttp:/itsc-s076lp.fhws.de:32224/?dmVyPTEuMDAxJiY1M2JhZDNjYTMwMWNkMDM5Mj01RTY3N0M5Ml8yODMzN18zXzImJjdhYmY2ZDliOWE1NDdhMT0xMTIzJiZ1cmw9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZoaWNzcyUyRWhhd2FpaSUyRWVkdSUyRmF1dGhvcnMlMkY=> � *Link to Minitrack:* https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-55/software-technology/#security-and-privac… <https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-55/software-technology/#security-and-privac…> �

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS - JOURNAL OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMPUTING AND ELECTRONIC COMMERCE Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2021 15:02:46 +0000 From: Daniel Edmund O'Leary <oleary(a)usc.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> JOCEC Special Issue on Crowdsourcing and Gig Economy We are pleased to announce that Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce (JOCEC) will publish a special issue dedicated to academic research on crowdsourcing and gig economy, focusing on the three critical aspects of crowdsourcing and gig economy, including: (1) crowdsourcing; (2) digitalization and future of work; and (3) gig worker and work conditions in the gig economytpdel. This special issue is open to all researchers, and papers will be submitted to a regular JOCEC review process under the guidance of the special issue editors. All authors are encouraged to look at prior published JOCEC research articles for reference and presentation style. Authors are highly encouraged to submit an extended abstract in August 2021 for an initial screening of fit by the editors, but the extended abstract submission is not mandatory for the full paper submission to the special issue. Authors are also encouraged to submit your work to the 2022 HICSS Minitrack on Crowdsourcing and Digital Workforce in the Gig Economy. Submitting to the minitrack is a great way to get early feedback as you prepare your work for the JOCEC special issue. Extended version of the papers presented at the HICSS minitrack in January 2022 will be invited to be fast tracked to the JOCEC special issue. For more information about the HICSS minitrack, please refer to the website: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/internet-and-the-digital-economy/#crowds… and-digital-workforce-in-the-gig-economy-minitrack Aims and Objectives Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining needed services and content by soliciting voluntary contributions in the form of an open call from a large network of individuals rather than from an organization’s employees or suppliers. For organizations, crowdsourcing provides an online marketplace, such as Amazon Mechanical Turk and Upwork, to tap into the labor and intelligence of the crowd. Studies on the technical systems and collective intelligence are informative, but our understanding of the crowdsourcing phenomenon cannot be complete without a comprehensive understanding of the crowd itself, the work made available on the digital platform, and its institutional, regulatory, ethical, and societal impacts. More broadly, crowdsourcing contributes to the growth of the gig economy, the labor market characterized by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work as opposed to permanent jobs, enabled by on-demand apps such as Uber, Lyft, Instacart, Postmates, DoorDash, Grubhub, and TaskRabbit. Economists estimate that the portion of U.S. workers earning a living as independent contractors, freelancers, temps, and on-call employees jumped from 10% in 2005 to nearly 16% in 2015, and the trend continues to grow, with predictions of independent workers comprising half of the American workforce by 2028. Yet, our understanding of the emerging workforce and work conditions in the gig economy is still in its incipient stage. Thus, this special issue focuses on the three critical aspects of crowdsourcing and gig economy, including: (1) crowdsourcing; (2) digitalization and future of work; and (3) gig worker and work conditions in the gig economy. The articles published in this special issue could include, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Crowdsourcing and impacts on organizations * Crowdsourcing participation and motivation * Digital platforms for crowdsourcing * Digital workforce and professional development * Ethical issues in crowdsourcing * Institutional practices and policies for crowdsourcing * Management and practice of work in hyper-digital environments * Management of gig work and gig workers * Organizational opportunities and challenges in the gig economy * Regulatory concerns and challenges in the gig economy * Technology and gig economy * Work design and future of work * Digital platform design and governance Relevant dates are as follows: August 31, 2021: Extended abstract submission due (Optional) January 5, 2022: JOCEC Workshop on Reimagining, Redefining, and Reconceptualizing IS Research at HICSS-55 March 1, 2022: Special Issue full paper submission deadline July 1, 2022: First round decisions to authors October 1, 2022: Second round submission due December 1, 2022: Second round decision to authors February 1, 2022: Third and final round submissions due March 1, 2022: Third and final round decisions to authors.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [AdveRSe 2021] 1st International Workshop on Adversarial Machine Learning for Recommendation and Search @ CIKM2021 Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2021 15:33:17 +0000 From: Vito Walter Anelli <vitowalter.anelli(a)poliba.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers "The 1st International Workshop on Adversarial Machine Learning for Recommendation and Search (AdveRSe 2021)" WebSite: https://sisinflab.github.io/adverse2021/cfp/ Date: 1-5 November 2021, Online Hosted in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Abstract Submission deadline: July 3rd, 2021, 2021 AoE Paper Submission deadline: July 10th, 2021, 2021 AoE [Scope] Recently, research in adversarial machine learning has brought to light important potential security issues with systems that people use on a daily basis for search and discovery. While adversarial examples are well understood in computer vision tasks, the harmful effects of the malicious application of machine learning are less well-understood in information retrieval and recommendation systems. The issues include: injection of adversarial-crafted fake users, adversarial perturbation of multimedia data in training sets or background collections, and adversarial structural noise on graph structure in order to improve search and recommendation in real-world environments, research is necessary that will allow us to discover, understand, and control the adverse impact of adversarial machine learning. In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers from the fields of adversarial machine learning, information retrieval, and recommender systems to discuss recent advances and research directions that could be further exploited to broaden the frontier in the field. The purpose of the 1st International Workshop on Adversarial Machine Learning for Recommendation and Search (AdveRSe 2021) is to provide a meeting forum for stimulating and disseminating research in Adversarial Machine Learning for Recommendation and Search Systems, where researchers can network and discuss their research results in an informal way. The Half-Day Workshop will take place online on November 1-5, 2021 in conjunction with the 30th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2021), hosted in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. [Submission Guidelines] Submissions of full research papers must be in English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS two-column conference format available at CEURART or at OVERLEAF TEMPLATE if an Overleaf is preferred. • Long Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The Long papers must have a length of minimum 6 and maximum 8 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR on-line Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program. • Short/Position Papers typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking strong theoretical foundation. Applications of adversarial learning in recommendation and search systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The Short Papers must have a length of minimum 3 and maximum 5 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR on-line Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program To be considered, papers must be received by the submission deadline (see Important Dates). The short and long papers review process is double-blind. The authors must anonymize their submissions. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP - Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP 2021) Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2021 11:10:22 +0100 From: Miguel Areias <miguel-areias(a)dcc.fc.up.pt> Reply-To: Miguel Areias <miguel-areias(a)dcc.fc.up.pt> ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PLP 2021: The Eighth Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming � http://stoics.org.uk/plp/plp2021 ========================================================================= A workshop of 37th International Conference on Logic Programming September 20-27, 2021 (the event will be virtual) ========================================================================= ** Deadline for submissions: August 1st 2021 Overview ******** Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms. The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability. PLP is part of a wider current interest in probabilistic programming. By promoting probabilities as explicit programming constructs, inference, parameter estimation and learning algorithms can be ran over programs which represent highly structured probability spaces. Due to logic programming's strong theoretical underpinnings, PLP is one of the more disciplined areas of probabilistic programming. It builds upon and benefits from the large body of existing work in logic programming, both in semantics and implementation, but also presents new challenges to the field. PLP reasoning often requires the evaluation of large number of possible states before any answers can be produced thus breaking the sequential search model of traditional logic programs. While PLP has already contributed a number of formalisms, systems and well understood and established results in: parameter estimation, tabling, marginal probabilities and Bayesian learning, many questions remain open in this exciting, expanding field in the intersection of AI, machine learning and statistics. This workshop provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work, in the following areas * probabilistic logic programming formalisms * parameter estimation * statistical inference * implementations * structure learning * reasoning with uncertainty * constraint store approaches * stochastic and randomised algorithms * probabilistic knowledge representation and reasoning * constraints in statistical inference * applications, such as * * bioinformatics * * semantic web * * robotics * probabilistic graphical models * Bayesian learning * tabling for learning and stochastic inference * MCMC * stochastic search * labelled logic programs * integration of statistical software This list is by no means exhaustive. Purpose ******** After seven successful editions of this workshop, the eighth edition of PLP will be held at the ICLP virtual conference organised by the University of Porto. We hope that this encourages further collaboration between researchers in PLP and researchers working in other areas of ICLP. Submissions *********** Submissions will be managed via EasyChair (to be announced). Contributions should be prepared in the LNCS style. A mixture of papers are sought including: new results; work in progress; and technical summaries of recent substantial contributions. Papers presenting new results should be 6-15 pages in length. Work in progress and technical summaries can be shorter (2-5 pages). The workshop proceedings will clearly indicate the type of each paper. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to present the contribution. Publication *********** Informal proceedings will be made available electronically to attendees and submitted to CEUR Workshop Proceedings repository (http://ceur-ws.org/). The proceedings will consist of clearly marked sections corresponding to the different types of submissions accepted. Deadlines ********* Papers due: August 1st, 2021 Notification to authors: September 1st, 2021 Camera ready version due: September 10th, 2021 Workshop date: September 20-27, 2021 (all dates are AoE) Invited Speaker(s) ****************** TBA Programme Committee Chairs ************************** Rafael Penaloza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) Felix Weitkämper (LMU München, Germany) Programme Committee ******************* TBA ========================================================================= -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Hence, researchers stress the importance of finding effective ways to assist users make informed and adequate security and privacy decisions and act accordingly. While most transparency-enhancing technologies and user intervention mechanisms are one-size-fits-all approaches, they are often not as effective as desired from the user perspective. Thus, context-aware and user-centred solutions constitute a current trend to increase transparency and intervention effectiveness. Thereby, considering differences in security and privacy behaviour is crucial, both regarding different contexts and different groups of end-users. There are different types of transparency views and intervention mechanisms, ranging from default configurations to providing end-users with risk information. When forcing people’s decisions towards a desired outcome without being neither clear nor convenient, people tend to find workarounds. For example, if users are forced to adopt higher online security, it may reduce their willingness to follow the advice when the benefits are not clear and the desired behaviour appears to be a disproportionately big effort. In that case, users often choose convenience over security. To avoid this, it is necessary to provide both the required and desired information to users in a way that aligns with their internal representations—so-called mental models. Once users understand the mechanisms they are confronted with, they could make better decisions. � *SCOPE: *This special issue welcomes submissions from the research field usable security and privacy. We specifically focus on papers on user-centred transparency and interventions, visualization mechanisms, and approaches to increase information security and privacy literacy. Papers may be conceptual, theoretical and/or empirical in nature with a focus on empirical-based conceptual work with theoretical impact. � *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:* The highest scientific quality with practical impact is critical for each paper. All contributions will be rigorously peer reviewed. The publications must be original papers.
