========================================================== Call for Papers 1st Workshop on advanced virtual environments and education (WAVE2 2018) http://wave.cin.ufpe.br/2018/ Florianópolis, SC, Brazil. ========================================================== The WAVE2 is a joint organization of the Special Commission on Informatics in Education of the Brazilian Society of Computing (SBC) and the Brazilian Association of Distance Education (ABED). With it, they aim to bring together world-class research that addresses, with a high standard of quality, issues relevant to open education and Brazilian distance in order to effectively contribute to the advancement of international knowledge about the themes and their impact on Brazilian practice. Considering the transdisciplinary nature of the phenomena of open and distance education, the two scientific societies understand that collaboration between researchers from related communities progressively improve research on aspects related to technology-mediated education. This year, WAVE2 2018 will take place in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Its organization will be shared with the Cognitive Sciences and Educational Technologies Group (CCTE), at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). Target audience to the workshop brings together educational researchers, technologists and experts in an multidisciplinary forum to collaboratively define the various skills, methods, techniques, processes and frameworks needed for fostering the adoption of learning design and thus to stimulate targeted research. ========================================================== Topics of Interest ========================================================== We invite submissions that may include the following topics, but are not limited to: - ubiquitous learning - adaptive learning - mobile learning - social learning - smart learning - learning on demand - continuous learning - semantic LMS services - learning as a service - cloud learning environments - annotation-based learning - design and experiments of intelligent user interfaces for education - linked-data enhanced learning - semantically-enhanced cloud services - learning analytics for improving teaching and learning - technology-enhanced learning in developing countries - 1:1 learning - m-gaming - technology-enhanced learning - Web 2.0 educational resources and tools - game-based learning - t-learning - social networks and learning - augmented reality and learning - virtual reality - learning analytics - massively open online courses (MOOCs) - personal learning environments - collective intelligence, the internet of things (IoT) - natural user interfaces (NUIs) - wearable technology - smart city learning or learning cities

There are only two formats: - Research paper (full paper) - Research-in-progress (short paper) - Plenary Lectures Authors interested that their article is considered for a later publication of the highlighted works must present their works in English. All submissions must be written in English and contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses. Submissions should follow the standard SBC format (Microsoft Word and LaTeX templates are available at) and submitted via SBC JEMS (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/wave2018) All proposals for articles must be anonymous, not containing the name of the author(s) or institution(s) of the author(s). These data should be reported only in the online submission form. We invite proposals of the following kind addressing conference themes: - Research paper (full paper) - Research-in-progress (short paper) - Plenary Lectures Papers presented in the Research report category (full paper) should show results with substantial progress in empirical or theoretical research, ongoing projects, discussions on the state of the art, relevant aspects, case studies, implemented experiments, methodologies, innovations and other products that to foster the academic discussion of WAVE2's areas and lines of work. Each individual paper proposal should take the form of a Research report (full paper) of up to 8 pages maximum (including references). The WAVE2Organisers collects all papers from the authors, and precedes them with an outline of the symposium, stating title/theme and providing a rationale for the symposium. Symposia organizers are free to decide on how their Symposium is run e.g. as an interactive panel-participants discussion; ?traditional? presentation of papers with short questions and answers; some other method. The papers presented in the Concept and main idea category (short paper) should analyze or describe innovative research in progress and work with preliminary results. All work in this category should follow the recommendations that are published on the Conference website. Each short paper proposal should take the form of a Full Paper with a minimum of 2 pages and maximum of 4 pages (including references). An invited Plenary Lectures consists of a mini-conference. We invite senior scientists who have a special interest in a specific conference topic to take responsibility for an invited session, gathering papers from a range of research expertise around the world. ========================================================== Important Dates ========================================================== - Paper Submission: 30 April 2018 - Peer evaluation: May 1 to June 3, 2018 - Notification of authors: 04 to 20 June 2018 - Camera-ready version due: July 20, 2018 - Workshop dates: 04 to 05 October 2018 - Paper Submission: June 7, 2018 - Acceptance notice: July 9, 2018 - Camera-Ready Submission: July 23, 2018 - Early Bird Registration deadline: September 7, 2018
