Software visualization is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from areas such as information visualization, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and data science, and applying these in the software engineering domain. The VISSOFT conference is principally a venue for publishing and discussing research related to software visualization. Consequently, VISSOFT brings together a community of researchers from software engineering, information visualization, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and data science to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to software visualization. This year’s VISSOFT, co-held with ICSME, encourages a variety of submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems using visualization. This includes technical papers, evaluations, applications/design studies, systems and formalisms, and papers that present novel ideas and tools. === Topics of interest include: - Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for analysis of software engineering data. This includes source code, dependencies, repositories, developer social networks like StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation, runtime logs, and DevOps data � - Visualization to support software development activities, including design, requirements engineering, software maintenance, program comprehension, software performance, software testing, and debugging � - Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization � - Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education � - Integration of software visualization tools with development environments � - Empirical evaluation of software visualizations, including eye-tracking � - Industrial experience with using software visualization � - Applications of new technologies to enhance software visualization, including virtual reality, augmented reality, gamification, and machine learning � - Analytical approaches to understand software-related aspects based on data science concepts � We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results. Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to technical papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas and Emerging Results and Tool Demo (NIER/TD) track. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Submission Types =============== ==== Technical papers: A technical paper contribution must describe an in-depth and mature research result relevant to software visualization. The content of a technical paper can be at a maximum 10 pages long (including all figures, tables, and appendices). However, the 10 page limit does not include the bibliography, which is limited by two additional pages. The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors who wish to submit a video can submit the video together with their paper if the size of the video is smaller than 50 MB, alternatively a URL to the video could be provided. Authors of technical papers that do not receive an acceptance recommendation from reviewers can, eventually, be invited to adapt the paper and make it acceptable for the NIER/TD track. Awards: VISSOFT 2021 will award best technical papers. Special issue: A selection � of best papers will be invited � to submit extended versions for � tentative publication in a Special � Section of the journal of � Information and Software Technology � published by Elsevier� http://www.elsevier.com/locate/infsof Artifact evaluation: Paper authors are encouraged to submit research artifacts (e.g., tools, data repositories, frameworks, videos) to the artifact evaluation track of ICSME.

Both NIER and TD contributions have a page limit of 5 (including bibliography). NIER contributions describe work-in-progress and preliminary exciting results. Authors are encouraged to include open questions and even provocative hypotheses to get early feedback on their research ideas. A sound evaluation is not required for NIER contributions. One of the goals of the NIER Track is to foster collaboration among different research groups. Tool Demonstrations (TD) describe the design or actual utilization of software visualization tools, with a focus on the architecture of the tool or its use to gain new insights. During the conference, we will organize an informal tool demonstration session where authors of TD papers are invited to demonstrate their tools. The submission may also contain a link to a screencast (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo) to show the interaction possibilities offered by the tool. == Important Dates: Paper Abstract: June 11, 2021 Paper Submission: June 18, 2021 Notification: July 23, 2021 Camera-Ready: August 6, 2021 Conference: September 27-28, 2021 (to be confirmed) Submission link:� https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2021 ==== Journal First Track A submission to the VISSOFT 2021 call for journal-first paper presentations must adhere to the following criteria: - The paper was accepted to a relevant journal and it is in the scope of the conference � - The paper was published between June 1, 2018 and June 10, 2021: � - The paper reports new research results and/or presents novel contributions that significantly extend, and were not previously reported in, prior work � - The paper has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, journal-first programs of other conferences � Authors of a paper that meets these criteria are invited to submit a one-page presentation proposal consisting of the paper’s title, the paper’s authors, a short statement on how the work satisfies the journal first criteria, and a pointer to the original journal paper at the journal’s Web site.

Share your insight in Cutter Business Technology Journal https://www.cutter.com/call-papers#TechFail . Abstract Deadline: June 16, 2021 Technology projects of all shapes and sizes fail at a dizzying rate – up to 75% for ERP projects and 95% for product innovation projects. Why can't we learn from these mistakes? Are the causes that mysterious? Or can we learn from our failures and develop some best practices to at least reduce the probability of failure? Before managers and executives launch new technology projects they should anticipate why their projects might fail and craft solutions before they spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars to improve their technology infra-structures, transform their business processes or implement new enterprise software applications. An upcoming issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal, with Guest Editor and Cutter Fellow Steve Andriole https://www.cutter.com/experts/steve-andriole , will address the recurring problem of project failure and what factors play a major role in an organization's ability to deliver projects, programs, and business strategies successfully. Article ideas may include, but are not limited, to the following: What role do talent assessments, team dynamics, executive support, and corporate culture play in successful project delivery? How does inexperience with major technology projects and weak corporate technology leadership play a role in project failure? What type of leadership is needed? What type of executive support including that from stakeholders and sponsors is necessary? How does an inadequate internal or extended talent pool for technology projects add to project failure? How can it be addressed? How can we attract and retain digital talent? How can a team of both digital and non-digital employees improve problem-solving? How can a weak or non-existent technology culture feed into project failure? How can barriers to cultural change be overcome? How can companies best attract, retain and develop talent - benefits/compensation/advancement/work location? What type of decision-making culture is necessary to succeed? How can we ensure the right teams are recruited? What skills are necessary? How does training play into project success? What investments in learning & development are most crucial for executives to endorse? Please send article ideas (short paragraph outlining discussion points) by June 16 to Steve Andriole and Christine Generali . Access the full Call for Papers here https://www.cutter.com/call-papers#TechFail . Accepted articles due July 20 . Final article length is typically 2,000-3,500 words plus graphics.

Fwd: [WI] CFP - 14th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2021)
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Jun '21

01 Jun '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP - 14th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2021) Date: Mon, 31 May 2021 18:38:35 +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 ASPOCP 2021: 14th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms � https://sites.google.com/site/aspocp2021 ========================================================================= A workshop of 37th International Conference on Logic Programming September 20-27, 2021 (the event will be virtual) ========================================================================= AIMS AND SCOPE ************** Since its introduction in the late 1980s, Answer Set Programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship, and is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). The relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), first-order logic (FOL), and FO(ID) is also the subject of active research. Consequently, new methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on relationships to these formalisms. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web) and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint Answer Set Programming (CASP) research direction). A large body of general results regarding ASP is available and several efficient ASP solvers have been implemented. However, there are still significant challenges in applying ASP to real life applications, and more interest in relating ASP to other computing paradigms is emerging. This workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): ***************************************************** * ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). * ASP and constraint programming. * ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). * ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. * ASP and external means of computation. * ASP and probabilistic reasoning. * ASP and knowledge compilation. * ASP and machine learning. * New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. * Language extensions to ASP. * ASP and multi-agent systems. * ASP and multi-context systems. * Modularity and ASP. * ASP and argumentation. * Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. * Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. * ASP and related paradigms in applications. * Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. * Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS *********** The workshop invites two types of submissions: * papers describing original research, * non-original papers already published on formal proceedings or journals.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP HICSS-55: mini track on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) with publication opportunity in Electronic Markets Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2021 08:52:04 +1000 From: Babak Abedin <babak.abedin(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear colleagues, We are happy to introduce the minitrack on “*Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)*” at *HICSS 55* (submission deadline: *June 15th*, 2021). We provide the opportunity for (extended) best papers of this minitrack to be *fast-tracked* to the journal* Electronic Markets *(Special Issue on “*Explainable and Responsible Artificial Intelligence*”*, *CfP will follow). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Christian Meske (christian.meske(a)fu-berlin.de) Yours sincerely, Christian Meske, Babak Abedin, Mathias Klier, Fethi Rabhi ********************************************************************* *Call for Papers: “Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)” Minitrack at the 55th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)* ********************************************************************* The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of decision analytics and service science has received significant attention in academia and practice alike. Yet, much of the current efforts have focused on advancing underlying algorithms and not on decreasing the complexity of AI systems. AI systems are still “black boxes” that are difficult to comprehend—not only for developers, but particularly for users and decision-makers. In addition, the development and use of AI is associated with many risks and pitfalls like biases in data or predictions based on spurious correlations (“Clever Hans” phenomena), which eventually may lead to malfunctioning or biased AI and hence technologically driven discrimination. This is where research on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) comes in. Also referred to as “transparent,” “interpretable,” or “understandable AI”, XAI aims to “produce explainable models, while maintaining a high level of learning performance (prediction accuracy); and enable human users to understand, appropriately, trust, and effectively manage the emerging generation of artificially intelligent partners”. With a focus on decision support, this minitrack aims to explore and extend research on how to establish explainability of intelligent black box systems—machine learning-based or not. We especially look for contributions that investigate XAI from either a developer’s or user’s perspective. We invite submissions from all application domains, such as healthcare, finance, e-commerce, retail, public administration or others. Technically and method-oriented studies, case studies as well as design science or behavioral science approaches are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - The developers’ perspective on XAI - - XAI to open, control and evaluate black box algorithms - Using XAI to identify bias in data - Explainability and Human-in-the-Loop development of AI - XAI to support interactive machine learning - Prevention and detection of deceptive AI explanations - XAI to discover deep knowledge and learn from AI - Designing and deploying XAI systems - Addressing user-centric requirements for XAI systems - The users’ perspective on XAI - - Theorizing XAI-human interactions - Presentation and personalization of AI explanations for different target groups - XAI to increase situational awareness, compliance behavior and task performance - XAI for transparency and unbiased decision making - Impact of explainability on AI-based decision support systems use and adoption - Explainability of AI in crisis situations - Potential harm of explainability in AI - Identifying user-centric requirements for XAI systems - The governments’ perspective on XAI - - Explainability and transparency policy guidelines - Evidence-based benefits and challenges of XAI implementations in the public sector - XAI and compliance *Submission Deadline: * June 15th, 2021 (Notification: until August 17th, 2021) Further information for authors: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ Link to minitrack descriptions: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/decision-analytics-and-service-science/#… *Fast track:* We provide the opportunity for (extended) best papers of this minitrack to be fast-tracked to the journal Electronic Markets (Special Issue on “Explainable and Responsible Artificial Intelligence”, CfP will follow). *Minitrack Co-Chairs: * Christian Meske Freie Universität Berlin Babak Abedin Macquarie University Mathias Klier University of Ulm Fethi Rabhi University of New South Wales _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [AISWorld] [KaRS 2021] Second CfP: 3rd Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop 2021 @ ACM RecSys
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Jun '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [KaRS 2021] Second CfP: 3rd Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop 2021 @ ACM RecSys Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2021 15:37:56 +0000 From: Vito Walter Anelli <vitowalter.anelli(a)poliba.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers Third Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS 2021) https://kars-workshop.github.io/2021/ http://sisinflab.poliba.it/kars/2021/ Sep. 27th - Oct. 1st, 2021, Amsterdam, the Netherlands Submission deadline: July 29th, 2021, 2021 AoE [SCOPE] We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Third Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems held in conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2021) Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from September the 27th to October the 1st, 2021. In the last few years, a renewed interest of the research community on conversational recommender systems (CRSs) is emerging. This is probably due to the great diffusion of Digital Assistants (DAs) such as Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant that are revolutionizing the way users interact with machines. DAs allow users to execute a wide range of actions through an interaction mostly based on natural language messages. However, although DAs are able to complete tasks such as sending texts, making phone calls, or playing songs, they are still at an early stage on offering recommendation capabilities by using the conversational paradigm. In addition, we have been witnessing the advent of more and more precise and powerful recommendation algorithms and techniques able to effectively assess users' tastes and predict information that would probably be of interest to them. Most of these approaches rely on the collaborative paradigm (often exploiting machine learning techniques) and do not take into account the huge amount of knowledge, both structured and non-structured ones, describing the domain of interest of the recommendation engine. Although very effective in predicting relevant items, collaborative approaches miss some very interesting features that go beyond the accuracy of results and move in the direction of providing novel and diverse results as well as generating an explanation for the recommended items. Furthermore, this side information becomes crucial when a conversational interaction is implemented, in particular for the preference elicitation, explanation, and critiquing steps. The 3rd Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS) Workshop focuses on all aspects related to the exploitation of external and explicit knowledge sources to feed and build a recommendation engine, and on the adoption of interactions based on the conversational paradigm. The aim is to go beyond the traditional accuracy goal and to start a new generation of algorithms and approaches with the help of the methodological diversity embodied in fields such as Machine Learning (ML), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Retrieval (IR), and Information Systems (IS). Consequently, the focus lies on works improving the user experience and following goals such as user engagement and satisfaction or customer value. The aim of this third edition of KaRS is to bring together researchers and practitioners around the topics of designing and evaluating novel approaches for recommender systems in order to: * share research and techniques, including new design technologies and evaluation methodologies; * identify next key challenges in the area; * identify emerging topics in the field. [TOPICS] This workshop aims at establishing an interdisciplinary community with a focus on the exploitation of (semi-)structured knowledge and conversational approaches for recommender systems and promoting collaboration opportunities between researchers and practitioners. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Knowledge-aware Recommender Systems. - Models and Feature Engineering: - Knowledge-aware data models based on structured knowledge sources (e.g., Linked Open Data, BabelNet, Wikidata, etc.) - Semantics-aware approaches exploiting the analysis of textual sources (e.g., Wikipedia, Social Web, etc.) - Knowledge-aware user modeling - Methodological aspects (evaluation protocols, metrics, and data sets) - Logic-based modeling of a recommendation process - Knowledge Representation and Automated Reasoning for recommendation engines - Deep learning methods to model semantic features - Beyond-Accuracy Recommendation Quality: - Using knowledge-bases and knowledge-graphs to increase recommendation quality(e.g., in terms of novelty, diversity, serendipity, or explainability) - Explainable Recommender Systems - Knowledge-aware explanations to recommendations (compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation) - Online Studies: - Using knowledge sources for cross-lingual recommendations - Applications of knowledge-aware recommenders (e.g., music or news recommendation, off-mainstream application areas) - User studies (e.g., on the user's perception of knowledge-based recommendations), field studies, in-depth experimental offline evaluations - Conversational Recommender Systems. - Design of a Conversational Agent: - Design and implementation methodologies - Dialogue management (end-to-end, dialog-state-tracker models) - UX design - Dialog protocols design - User Modeling and interfaces: - Critiquing and user's feedback exploitation - Short- and Long-term user profiling and modeling - Preference elicitation - Natural language-, multi modal-, and voice-based interfaces - Next-question problem - Methodological and Theoretical aspects: - Evaluation and metrics - Datasets - Theoretical aspects of conversational recommender systems [SUBMISSIONS] Submissions of full research papers must be in English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS two-column conference format available at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip or at: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w… if an Overleaf template is preferred. Submission will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the CEUR workshop series. Papers may range from theoretical works to system descriptions. We particularly encourage Ph.D. students or Early-Stage Researchers to submit their research. We also welcome contributions from the industry and papers describing ongoing funded projects which may result useful to the Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems community. The conference language is English. We invite three kinds of submissions, which address novel issues in Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems: * Long Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The Long papers must have a length of a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program. * Short/Demo 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 a strong theoretical foundation. Applications of recommender systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The Short/Demo papers must have a length of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted short paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings * Position/Discussion Papers describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these problems from a new perspective, in order to contribute to a better understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem, or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. The Position/Discussion papers must have a length of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Original Position/Discussion accepted papers will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings. Selected Position/Discussion papers will be invited as oral presentations. The review process is single-blind. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. Moreover, following the RecSys 2021 guidelines, reviewers will be asked to comment on whether the length is appropriate for the contribution. Shorter papers should generally report on advances that can be described, set into context, and evaluated concisely. Longer papers should reflect substantial contributions of lasting value. Short and long paper submissions must be original work and may not be under submission to another venue at the time of review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Submission will be through Easychair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kars2021 [IMPORTANT DATES] * Paper submissions due: July 29th, 2021 * Paper acceptance notification: August 21st, 2021 * Camera-ready deadline: August 28th, 2021 * Workshop day: Sep 27th - Oct 1st, 2021 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.
