-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: 5th International Workshop on Empirical Methods in Conceptual Modeling (EmpER'22) - co-located with ER'22 Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 01:24:12 +0000 From: Sotirios Liaskos <liaskos(a)yorku.ca> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> * At a Glance . Submission Deadline: June 15th, 2022 . Location: Hyderabad, India (co-located with ER'22) . Papers: Complete studies, designs, or position papers (10 LNCS pages max) . Web site: https://emper-workshop.github.io/2022/ * Overview Conceptual modeling has enjoyed substantial growth over the past decades in diverse fields such as Information Systems Analysis, Software Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, Business Analysis and Business Process Engineering. A plethora of conceptual modeling languages, frameworks and systems have been proposed, promising to facilitate activities such as communication, design, documentation, or decision-making. Success in designing a conceptual modeling system is, however, predicated on demonstrably attaining language goals through observing their use in practical scenarios. At the same time, the way individuals and groups produce and consume models gives raise to cognitive, behavioral, organizational, or other phenomena, whose systematic observation may help us better understand how models are used in practice and how we can make them more effective. * Aim and Topics We aim at bringing together researchers with an interest in the empirical investigation of conceptual modeling systems and practices. We invite reports on finished, on-going or proposed empirical studies and theoretical, review and experience papers about empirical research in conceptual modeling. Examples of contributions include but are not limited: . Complete, on-going, or planned empirical studies in Conceptual Modeling. . Literature Reviews on empirical research in Conceptual Modeling. . Theoretical/philosophical positions on empirical Conceptual Modeling. . Discussions/positions on statistical and methodological issues. . Lessons learned from past studies. * Submissions We solicit three types of papers: . Full papers describing a completed study. . Work-in-progress papers describing a planned study or study in progress. . Position, vision, and lessons papers about the use of empirical methods for conceptual modelling. Papers shall be limited to 10 pages in LNCS format. The EmpER'22 accepted papers will be published within the ER Workshop proceedings, in the Springer LNCS Series. * Format and Duration The workshop will consist of paper presentations with an emphasis on discussion. Time permitting, papers presenting on-going studies will have a discussion session led by a designated member of the program committee. * Location The workshop is co-located with the 41st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2022), which will take place in Hyderabad, India. * Important Dates . Submission date: June 15th, 2022 . Workshop author notification: July 14th, 2022 . Camera-ready submission: July 27th, 2022 . Workshop dates: October 17th-20th, 2022 (exact day to be confirmed) * Workshop Organizers . João Araujo, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal . Dominik Bork, TU Wien, Austria .

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP Special Issue "Technology for Humanity” at Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE / WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK) - Deadline May 15th, 2022
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Apr '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP Special Issue "Technology for Humanity” at Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE / WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK) - Deadline May 15th, 2022 Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 10:59:03 +0200 From: Hanna Krasnova <krasnova(a)uni-potsdam.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers: Special Issue "Technology for Humanity” at Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE / WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK) The past decades have been marked by the rapid digitization of almost every part of human life. Our work and private life, healthcare, education, governmental institutions, and society as a whole have been undergoing an era of rapid change driven by new forms of digital communication, automation, new information sources, emerging digital markets, and social networks, as well as digital practices and workflows. With this transition that some analysts refer to as a ‘digital transformation’ and some intellectuals speculate to be a ‘2nd Neolithic revolution’, come many ethical and value-related questions and challenges that are of high relevance for humanity. At the core, we must ask ourselves how we should technically and organizationally design and organize our IT-driven world so that humans can flourish in it (Spiekermann 2016). How can we build “Technology for Humanity” as the IEEE standardization organization promotes in its logo? The pressing nature of these grand challenges demands a more comprehensive understanding of the undergoing transformation beyond the study of standalone values. In response, policymakers have taken numerous initiatives, for example, at the international level by announcing seventeen sustainable development goals and at the local level by creating large-scale publicly-financed research projects like the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society in Berlin. In a similar vein, many BISE/IS institutes have woken up on this call by establishing such important initiatives as the Sustainability Lab at Vienna University of Economics and Business or by jointly collaborating on research projects that seek to address these issues. In addition to investigating privacy issues and personal data markets (e.g., Spiekermann et al. 2015; Krasnova et al. 2010; Trang et al. 2020), BISE /IS scholars have embarked on studying the fundamental issues of human control, autonomy, and freedom vis-à-vis technology (e.g., Spiekermann and Pallas 2005). Among others, these research efforts have contributed to a better understanding of potential biases inherent in AI design (e.g., Lambrecht and Tucker 2019; Bauer et al. 2020), algorithmic work management (e.g., Möhlmann et al. 2021), echo chambers, and filter bubbles (e.g., Kitchens et al. 2020), health and well-being implications of ICT use in work (e.g., Benlian 2020) and social media (e.g., Krasnova et al. 2015; Krause et al. 2021) contexts, user perceptions in the context of online targeted political advertising (e.g., Baum et al. 2021), among others. In doing so, the grey human entity formerly called “user” has started to be concretized in the many distinct roles created by new ICTs: Patients are now studied in relation to health applications (Mueller et al. 2018), citizens as natural participants of e-government processes (e.g., Tan et al. 2013; Nishant et al. 2019), crowd-workers in the context of their algorithmic supervisors (e.g., Straub et al. 2015; Cram et al. 2020), soc ial networking users in the face of gamified platforms intentionally designed to be addictive (e.g., Turel and Serenko 2012), life-loggers with a view to personal data markets (e.g., Risius et al. 2020; Trang et al. 2020), to name a few. Against the background of these developments, we seek to elicit papers in this area for the BISE Special Issue “Technology for Humanity”. Submissions to this special issue are encouraged from all theoretical and methodological perspectives. Thus, submissions can either investigate people in their specific roles and reactions to technology, relate to technology design or design methods to foster humanity and sustainability, be of a conceptual nature to better grasp the technological and economic changes we are witnessing, or review user studies and/or technologies of interest in this research domain. Authors must clearly outline why their contribution is new and interesting for research and practice and how they contribute to human and social value creation through their work. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Dignity and respect Inequality Freedom, liberty, transparency and autonomy Privacy, trust, control and freedom Friendship, social support and inclusion Bias, fairness and transparency Digital work, digital labor markets and the gig economy Personal data markets Digital society (e.g., fake news, online radicalization, cyberbullying) Physical health and mental well-being in the context of IT use Individual behavior and perceptions Moral behavior Technology mediated human judgement Value-based system design Privacy sensitive design, privacy by design Attention sensitive systems Submission Guidelines Please submit papers by 15 May 2022 at the latest via the journal’s online submission system (http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/ <http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/>). Please observe the instructions regarding the format and size of contributions to Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE). Papers should adhere to the submission general BISE author guidelines (https://www.bise-journal.com/author_guidelines <https://www.bise-journal.com/author_guidelines>). All papers will be reviewed anonymously (double-blind process) by at least two referees with regard to relevance, originality, and research quality. In addition to the editors of the journal, including those of this special issue, distinguished international scholars will be involved in the review process.

FURTHER INFORMATION WWW:https://lpnmr2022.dibris.unige.it Email:lpnmr2022@easychair.org (submission and program) lpnmr2022(a)dibris.unige.it (general and local matters) Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/lpnmr2022 Twitter:https://twitter.com/lpnmr2022 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/lpnmr2022 IMPORTANT DATES * Paper registration: April 23, 2022 * Paper submission: April 30, 2022 * Notification: June 10, 2022 * Final versions due: June 30, 2022 VENUE The main conference will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the Collegio Emiliani (http://www.collegioemiliani.it/, information available only in Italian on this link), which is a college directly situated on the sea. Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa. Nervi is 7 km east of central Genova. Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same name from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. The pride of Nervi is the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs. The stunning views make it one of Italy's most beautiful promenades. Nervi is also well known for its Parchi, a park of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean plant species and many exotic species. Genova's old town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west. Workshops and associated events, differently from what we mentioned in the previous call, are planned to be held in the main conference venue as well. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.

We allow anonymous submissions on request (see below). Submissions may be of two types: A – Regular papers of up to 11 pages (excluding references) B – Extended abstracts of 2–4 pages (excluding references) Both regular papers and abstracts must be formatted using the *new* CEURART style, using the following DL-specific template that we prepared: * http://dl.kr.org/dl2022/papers/submissions/CEURART-DL.zip and submitted via: * https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dl_workshop2022 Submissions of type A must contain enough substance that they can be cited in other publications and may not have appeared before. A clearly marked appendix with additional proofs and evaluation data may be included. For submissions of type B, we highly encourage a clearly marked appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or extended version of your paper, which was accepted at another conference or which you submitted or plan to submit to another conference. Abstracts of papers accepted or under review at other venues must clearly state the venue where the paper has been submitted alongside its status. The appendix will be read at the discretion of the reviewers and will not be included in the proceedings. The appendix does not need to be in the CEURART format. The proceedings will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Due to a change of policy at CEUR-WS.org papers of type B are no longer indexed by dblp.org <http://dblp.org> and the case of an abstract of a pre-published paper may require a permission by the copyright holder. Accepted submissions of both types will be selected for either oral or poster presentation at the workshop. Submissions will be judged solely based on their content, and the type of submission will have no bearing on the decision between oral and poster presentation. FAST-TRACK NOTIFICATION Authors who require a visa to travel to Israel and for this reason would like to receive notification earlier than 8 June may request fast-track reviewing. To do so, authors should send an email to dl_workshop2022(a)easychair.org, including the submission number of the paper and a statement explaining the circumstances that require fast-track review. Authors and participants who require a visa invitation to attend the workshop please follow the guidelines provided at the FLoC website under https://www.floc2022.org/information. ANONYMOUS SUBMISSION In justified cases, if you wish your submission to be handled anonymously (i.e., double-blind) please send an e-mail to dl_workshop2022(a)easychair.org explaining the reasons.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 1st Call for Papers - Cognition and Ontologies: CAOS VI @ JOWO 2022, August 15-19, Jönköping, Sweden Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:54:41 +0000 From: Righetti Guendalina (Student Com18) <Guendalina.Righetti(a)stud-inf.unibz.it> Reply-To: Righetti Guendalina (Student Com18) <Guendalina.Righetti(a)stud-inf.unibz.it> To: Righetti Guendalina (Student Com18) <Guendalina.Righetti(a)stud-inf.unibz.it> CC: maria.m.hedblom <maria.m.hedblom(a)gmail.com>, Kutz Oliver <Oliver.Kutz(a)unibz.it> *CAOS 2022 - Call for Papers* Cognition And OntologieS part of the 8th Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2022) held August 15-19 in Jönköping, Sweden Submission deadline: *June 3* Website: *http://caos.inf.unibz.it* The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive sciences and research on formal ontologies and, thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge representation. More specifically, CAOS investigates key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) that can be found across language, psychology, and reasoning, and how they can be formally and ontologically understood and analysed. The exploration of the connection between cognitive sciences/experimental psychology and ontologies, as well as, more generally, symbolic AI, aims also to provide formal and logical modelling and reasoning approaches for capturing such connections. CAOS, thus, seeks answers to ways such formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Artificial Intelligence and information systems, also in practical application. We welcome submissions on topics related to the ontology of hypothesised building blocks of cognition (such as image schemas, affordances, categories, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities (such as concept invention and combination, language acquisition and categorisation), as well as system-demonstrations modelling these capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological modelling. *Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):* * Ontologies of cognitive phenomena * Cognitive foundations of ontologies and ontologies of cognitive theories (e.g. connection with conceptual spaces, diagrammatic representations, mental models, prototypes, image schemas, scripts etc.) * Empirical foundations of ontologies: ontologies driven from observations, measurements, tests, and in general from data acquired using empirical procedures * Logic and Cognition (challenges, possible solutions and validation scenarios) * Formal representation of cognitive structures / functions / processes * Knowledge Representation and Common-Sense * Formalisation/modelling of language, image schemas and/or affordance * Concept invention and concept combination * Cognitive and language development from an ontological perspective * Metaphors and analogies (formal representation, ontological analysis) * AI for language understanding * Knowledge acquisition and categorisation in AI and Robotics * Concept-based computational creativity * Embodied cognition, image schemas, affordances for AI * Neural networks and ontological modelling. We welcome researchers from all career stages to participate. Besides full research papers, work in progress (short papers) and extended abstracts (presentation only) are also welcome since a central goal of the workshop is the discussion of ongoing interdisciplinary work. All research papers must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other workshop, conference or journal. Note, that for inclusion in the JOWO proceedings, short papers are required to be at least 5 pages long. All contributions will be peer-reviewed, and the review process will be managed in a collaborative and transparent manner using the EasyChair System as part of the JOWO conference. *Submissions* *Submission deadline: *June 3 , 2022 *Submission link:*https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=jowo2022 <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=jowo2022> (select the track for CAOS VI: “Cognition And OntologieS”) *Paper formats:* We encourage three types of contributions: *• Full research paper: *submitted papers must have between 10 and 12 pages + an additional page for references (if necessary). *• Short paper: *submitted papers must have between 5 and 6 pages + an additional page for references (if necessary). *• Abstract for presentation: *1-2 page abstracts (including references) for presentation.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] APPS 2022 Extended Call for Papers - ACM UMAP Workshop Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:31:46 +0300 From: Argyris Constantinides <aconst12(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> Workshop on Adaptive and Personalized Privacy and Security (APPS 2022) - ACM UMAP Workshop EXTENDED CALL FOR PAPERS The Fourth International Workshop on Adaptive and Personalized Privacy and Security, in conjunction with the 30th ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2022), held both virtually and physically from Barcelona, Spain, July 04-07, 2022 Workshop Website: http://appsworkshop.cs.ucy.ac.cy <http://appsworkshop.cs.ucy.ac.cy/> Paper Submissions in EasyChair by selecting the track "Workshop-APPS": https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22> IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: April 15, April 22, 2022 (23:59 AoE time) - Extended Notification to authors: May 11, 2022 Camera-ready version of accepted papers: May 18, 2022 MOTIVATION & GOALS Millions of users across different continents and countries are daily engaged with privacy and security tasks which are indispensable in modern information systems and services. Such tasks are commonly related to user authentication, human interaction proofs (e.g., captcha), privacy and security pop-up dialogs, setting privacy and security features within online user profiles, etc. Recent privacy and security incidents of famous online services have once more underpinned the necessity towards further investigating and improving current approaches and practices related to the design of efficient and effective privacy and security. In order to achieve this objective, one possible direction is related to providing adaptive and personalized characteristics to privacy- and security-related user tasks, given the diversity of the user characteristics (like cultural, cognitive, age, habits), the technology (like standalone, mobile, mixed-virtual-augmented reality, wearables) and interaction contexts of use (like being on the move, social settings, spatial limitations). Hence, adaptive and personalized privacy and security implies the ability of an interactive system or service to support its end-users, who are engaged in privacy- and/or security-related tasks, based on user models which describe in a holistic way what constitutes the user’s physical, technological and interaction context in which computation takes place. APPS 2022 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on diverse topics related to understanding and improving the usability of privacy and security software and systems, by applying user modeling, adaptation and personalization principles. Our special focus in 2022 will be on challenges and opportunities related to the security and privacy of remote activities (e.g., remote work environments, distance learning). The workshop will address the following objectives: - increase our understanding and knowledge on supporting usable privacy and security interaction design through novel user modeling mechanisms and adaptive user interfaces; - discuss methods and techniques for understanding user attitudes and perceptions towards privacy and security issues in various application areas; - identify human-centered models for the design, development and evaluation of adaptive and personalized privacy and security systems; - discuss methods for evaluating the impact and added value of adaptation and personalization in privacy and security systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Adaptation and personalization approaches in usable privacy and security - Effects of human factors (e.g., cognition, personality, etc.) in privacy and security systems - Novel user interaction concepts and user interfaces for achieving usable security - Cultural diversity in usable privacy and security - Context-aware privacy and security - Adaptive usable security in various domains (e.g., e-Learning, e-Government, IoT, healthcare, etc.) - Adaptive user authentication policies - Novel approaches to the design and evaluation of usable security systems - Privacy and security in smart patient-centric healthcare systems - Novel approaches to the design and evaluation of usable security systems - Lessons learned from the deployment and use of usable privacy and security features - Ethical considerations in adaptive and personalized privacy and security PAPER SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION All workshop papers must contain original, previously unpublished, research work adhering the two publication types: - Full research papers (8-14 pages, excl. references), proposing new approaches, innovative methods and research findings. - Short research papers (up to 7 pages, excl. references), presenting works in progress, lessons learned, emerging or future research issues and directions on topics related to APPS. Manuscripts should be formatted according to the new workflow and template for ACM publications (https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow <https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>). Please submit your paper through the EasyChair submission system by selecting the track "Workshop-APPS": https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22> Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will be available via the ACM Digital Library.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: 1st Workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems @ SIGIR 2022
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 1st Workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems @ SIGIR 2022 Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:39:15 +0200 From: Oana Inel <oana.inel(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org — Apologies for cross-posting — QUARE 2022: The 1st workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems, co-located with SIGIR 2022 (https://sigir.org/sigir2022/ <https://sigir.org/sigir2022/>), July 11-15, 2022, in Madrid, Spain and Online Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2022/home <https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2022/home> Location: Hybrid - Madrid, Spain and Online IMPORTANT DATES: ----------------------------- Paper submission: 3 May 2022 Author notification: 15 May 2022 Final version deadline: 15 June 2022 Workshop date: 15 July 2022 CALL FOR PAPERS: ---------------------------- Recommendations are ubiquitous in many contexts and domains due to a continuously growing adoption of decision-support systems. Explanations may be provided along with recommendations with the reasoning behind suggesting a particular item. However, explanations may also significantly affect a user's decision-making process by serving a number of different goals, such as transparency, persuasiveness, scrutability, among others. While there is a growing body of research studying the effect of explanations, the relationship between their quality and their effect has not been investigated in depth yet. For instance, at an institutional level, organisational values may require a different combination of explanation goals; also, within the same organisation some combinations of goals may be more appropriate for some use cases and less for others. Conversely, end-users of a recommender system may be bearers of different values, and explanations can affect them differently. Therefore, understanding whether explanations are fit for their intended goals is key to subsequently implementing them in a production stage. Furthermore, the lack of established, actionable methodologies to evaluate explanations for recommendations, as well as evaluation datasets, hinders cross-comparison between different explainable recommendations approaches, and is one of the issues hampering widespread adoption of explanations in industry settings. This workshop aims to extend existing work in the field by bringing together and facilitating the exchange of perspectives and solutions from industry and academia, and aims to bridge the gap between academic design guidelines and the best practices in the industry regarding the implementation and evaluation of explanations in recommender systems, with respect to their goals, impact, potential biases, and informativeness. With this workshop, we provide a platform for discussion among scholars, practitioners, and other interested parties. TOPICS AND THEMES: -------------------------------- The motivation of the workshop is to promote discussion upon future research and practice directions of evaluating explainable recommendations, by bringing together academic and industry researchers and practitioners in the area. We focus in particular on real-world use cases, diverse organisational values and purposes, and different target users. We encourage submissions that study different explanation goals and combinations of those, how they fit various organisation values and different use cases. Furthermore, we welcome submissions that propose and make available for the community high-quality datasets and benchmarks. Topics include, but are not limited to: Evaluation Relevance of explanation goals for different use cases; Soliciting user feedback on explanations; Implicit vs. explicit evaluation of explanations and goals; Reproducible and replicable evaluation methodologies; Online vs. offline evaluations. Personalisation User-modelling for explanation generation; Evaluation approaches for personalised explanations (e.g., content, style); Evaluation approaches for context-aware explanations (e.g., place, time, alone/group setting, exploratory/transaction mode). Presentation Evaluation of different explanation modalities (e.g., text, graphics, audio, hybrid); Evaluation of interactive explanations. Datasets Generation of datasets for evaluation of explanations; Evaluation benchmarks. Values Evaluation of explanations in relation to organisational values; Evaluation of explanations in relation to personal values. SUBMISSIONS: ---------------------- We welcome three types of submissions: position or perspective papers (up to 4 pages in length, plus unlimited pages for references): original ideas, perspectives, research vision, and open challenges in the area of evaluation approaches for explainable recommender systems; featured papers (title and abstract of the paper, plus the original paper): already published papers or papers summarizing existing publications in leading conferences and high-impact journals that are relevant for the topic of the workshop demonstration papers (up to 2 pages in length, plus unlimited pages for references): original or already published prototypes and operational evaluation approaches in the area of explainable recommender systems. Page limits include diagrams and appendices. Submissions should be single-blind, written in English, and formatted according to the current ACM two-column conference format. Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf <https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official> templates are available from the ACM Website <https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> (use “sigconf” proceedings template for LaTeX and the Interim Template for Word). Submit papers electronically via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=quare22 <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=quare22>. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee and accepted papers will be published on the website of our workshop: https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2022/home <https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2022/home>.
