[DMANET] Call for Papers - Fourth Workshop on Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS’24) @ PerCom 2024 (second call)

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Fourth Workshop on
Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'24)
<https://sites.google.com/view/hccs24/home>, which will be co-located with
the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and
Communications (PerCom'24) <http://percom.org/>in Biarritz, France, from
March 11-15, 2024.

The fourth edition of the Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'24)
Workshop at PerCom 2024 aims to advance and promote research about how
unobtrusive observations of human beings' cognitive, behavioral,
physiological, and contextual data are increasingly enabling new computing
experiences. The workshop will additionally stimulate dialog about the
implications of computational sensing for society. Traditionally, sensors
have been understood narrowly as physiological measurements often captured
with wearable devices. This workshop adopts a broader, human-focused view,
envisioning sensing as time-evolving measurable data directly linked to
individuals and, by extension, to their communities. With this
understanding, sensing involves human reactions and interactions observed
in spoken, written, or signed language, eye gaze, facial and bodily
expressions, social networks, geospatial patterns, and other such
human-generated data. Advances in multimodal human data acquisition and
fusion have the potential to significantly impact all areas of human life -
productivity, health and well-being, training and education, human-computer
interaction, accessibility, safety, and security, as well as gaming,
sports, and entertainment.

Relevant topics include but are not limited to::

- Novel methodologies for collecting and processing multimodal human
sensing data, including remote/online data collection
- Co-sensing of multiple individuals, groups, or communities
- Detection and analysis of human social interactions, behaviour and
habits
- Localization and proximity-detection systems
- User acceptance, quality of experience, and social impact studies
- Accessibility of human sensing technologies
- New interventions acting on human-centered computational sensing
- Fusion of multifaceted, heterogeneous, and/or incommensurable human
sensing data
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for
responsible behavioral analysis with human sensing data
- Interactive machine learning guided by humans, with sensing
technologies
- Edge and fog computing architectures for human sensing
- Applications of human-centered computational sensing
- Innovative Human-Computer Interactions based on sensing
- Innovative visualizations and representations of human sensing data
- Evaluation metrics and methodologies
- Experimental analysis with human sensing data from real-world
applications
- Human-centered sensing for healthcare, industry, and social good
- Educational insights from teaching human sensing technologies
- Experiences and lessons learned from research projects focused on
human-centered computational sensing
- Privacy and ethical considerations for human-centered computational
sensing
- Design of human computation sensing promoting diversity.

*Organizers will consider the possibility of inviting authors of selected
papers accepted to HCCS'24 to submit an extended work to a Special Issue of
an international journal.*

---Submission and Registration:
Authors are invited to submit technical or theoretical papers for
presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished
work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference,
or journal. Papers should present novel perspectives within the general
scope of the workshop.
Accepted workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital
libraries (Xplore).
Papers may be no more than 6 pages in length. Authors can purchase one
additional page for the camera-ready version. Papers in excess of the page
limits will not be considered for review or publication. All papers must be
typeset in double-column IEEE format using 10pt fonts on US letter paper,
with all fonts embedded. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as
well as related information, can be found at the IEEE website.

Submission must be made via EDAS using https://edas.info/N31320.

It is a requirement that all the authors listed in the submitted paper are
also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the
workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflict-of-interest can be
properly enforced during the review process. If the list of authors differs
between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed.
Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no
registration is available for workshops only). Papers that are not
presented at the workshop will not be published in the proceedings.

---Important Dates:

- Paper submission deadline: November 17th, 2023 23:59 EST timezone
- Paper notification: January 8th, 2024
- Camera Ready Deadline: February 2nd, 2024
- Registration: same as main conference PerCom 24 papers (no
workshop-only registration)
- HCCS Workshop at PerCom 2024: To be announced (11 or 15 March 2024)

For more information, including the workshop's scope, submission
guidelines, and topics of
interest, please visit the workshop website
<https://sites.google.com/view/hccs24/home> or find the attached Call for
Papers (CFP).

We look forward to your contributions and participation in HCCS'24. If you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

SUBMISSIONS
Submissions will be through EasyChair https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=stacs2024#

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper with at most 12-15 pages, excluding a title page, the references section and a possible appendix, to the appropriate track. The title page consists, for instance, of the title of the paper, the abstract, and keywords, but *no* author information. The first section of the paper should start on the next page, and the appendix, if any, should also start on the next page after the bibliography. The PCs reserve the right to reassign a paper to a different track. The usage of the LIPIcs style file is mandatory; no changes to font size, page geometry, etc. are permitted. Please refer to LIPIcs author instructions https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publishing/series/details/LIPIcs; Submissions not in the correct format or submitted after the deadline will not be considered.

The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints should be put into an appendix, to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. An appendix consisting of a full version of the paper is encouraged. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or to journals is not allowed. PC members are excluded from submitting to their own track.

As in the previous years, STACS 2024 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process: submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. The purpose of the double-blind reviewing is to help PC members and external reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymised. In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their research ideas.

Authors will be invited to give a list of persons with a Conflict of Interest (COI). A Conflict of Interest is limited to the following categories:

- Family member or close friend.
- Ph.D. advisor or advisee (no time limit), or postdoctoral or undergraduate mentor or mentee within the past five years.
- Person with the same affiliation.
- Involved in an alleged incident of harassment. (It is not required that the incident be reported.)
- Reviewer owes author a favour (e.g., recently requested a reference letter).
- Frequent or recent collaborator (within last 5 years) cannot objectively review your work.

If you are unsure about a conflict in which a reviewer may have positive bias towards your paper, we recommend erring on the side of not declaring it since PC members and sub-reviewers will be also asked if they feel that they can fairly evaluate your paper. If an author believes that they have a valid reason for a Conflict of Interest not listed above, then she or he can contact PC chairs. Falsely declared conflicts (i.e., do not satisfy one of the listed reasons) risk rejection without consideration of merit. When PC chairs have doubt about claimed Conflict of Interest, they may request that STACS advocates confidentially verify the conflict. If authors are uncertain, they are encouraged to email PC chairs or STACS advocates. Authors will be asked to declare conflicts with PC members during submission, but an author can contact PC chairs directly if she or he has a conflict with an individual who is likely to be asked to serve as a sub-reviewer for the paper.

There will be a rebuttal period for authors, see below for the dates. Authors will receive the reviews of their submissions (via EasyChair) and have three days to submit rebuttals (via EasyChair). These rebuttals become part of the PC discussions, but entail no specific responses.

At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register at the conference. For authors who cannot present their paper in person a possibility for remote presentation will be offered.

PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium. As usual, these proceedings will appear in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl (https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/LIPIcs). This guarantees perennial, free and easy electronic access, while the authors retain the rights over their work. With their submission, authors consent to sign a license authorising the program committee chairs to organise the electronic publication of their paper, provided the paper is accepted.

The final camera-ready of each accepted paper should be formatted in accordance with the LIPIcs guidelines https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/LIPIcs and taking reviewer comments into account. General instructions regarding the preparation of the camera-ready version and the style can be found at LIPIcs author instructions https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publishing/series/details/LIPIcs. Notice that there is a limit of 15 pages for the main body of the final camera-ready, excluding the bibliography, the front page(s) (authors, affiliation, keywords, abstract, ...) and a brief appendix (of up to 5 pages) from this page limit. Any appendices to the initial submission were officially not under review and thus should not be included in the proceedings. In general, major new content can be added only if suggested by the reviewers. You are however more than welcome to have the proceedings paper link to an extended version published elsewhere (e.g., on arXiv) – the precise link to such an extended version may even be provided later, during author approval period (expected in February).

STACS CODE OF CONDUCT
STACS 2024 intends to join http://safetoc.org. Registering for STACS 2024 thus will likely require that you agree to follow the Code of Conduct described below.

STACS is committed to be a respectful forum for its participants, free from any violence, discrimination or harassment of any nature. All STACS attendees are expected to behave accordingly.

If you experience or witness violence, discrimination, harassment or other unethical behaviour at the conference, we encourage you to seek advice and remedy through one or more of the following options:

• Consult with the SafeToC advocates of STACS (to be named before the conference).
• Report to the conference chair, the PC chairs or the Steering Committee chair.
The chairs are entitled to remove registered participants from the conference (without refunding the conference fees) if they are deemed to pose an ethical risk to other participants. The conference chair may contact the local university committee dedicated to address violence, unethical behaviour or harassment of any kind. Besides having an appointment with the victim, this committee can assist with medical support and with taking legal action.

Social network analysis is concerned with the study of relationships
between social entities. The recent advances in internet technologies and
social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, have created
outstanding opportunities for individuals to connect, communicate or
comment on issues or events of their interests. Social networks are dynamic
and evolving in nature; they also involve a huge number of users.
Frequently, the information related to a certain concept is distributed
among several servers. This brings numerous challenges to researchers,
particularly in the data mining and machine learning fields. The purpose of
the International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management and
Security(SNAMS-2023) is to provide a forum for researchers to present and
discuss their work which is related to social network analysis.

SNAMS 2023 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of
Social Networks. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help

Conference Submission Link
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=vmcai2024

* Submissions *
Submissions are required to follow Springer's LNCS format. The page limit depends on the paper's category (see below). In each category, additional material beyond the page limit may be placed in a clearly marked appendix to be read at the discretion of the reviewers and to be omitted in the final version. Formatting style files and further guidelines for formatting can be found at the Springer website: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines.

All accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Submissions will undergo a single-blind review process. There will be three categories of papers: regular papers, tool papers, and case studies. Papers in each category have a different page limit and will be evaluated differently.

Regular papers clearly identify and justify an advance to the field of verification, abstract interpretation, or model checking. Where applicable, they are supported by experimental validation. Regular papers are restricted to 20 pages in LNCS format, not counting references.

Tool papers present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to an existing tool. They should provide a short description of the theoretical foundations with relevant citations and emphasize the design and implementation concerns, including software architecture and core data structures. A regular tool paper should give a clear account of the tool's functionality, discuss the tool's practical capabilities with reference to the type and size of problems it can handle, describe experience with realistic case studies, and, where applicable, provide a rigorous experimental evaluation. Papers that present extensions to existing tools should clearly focus on the improvements or extensions with respect to previously published versions of the tool, preferably substantiated by data on enhancements in terms of resources and capabilities. Authors are strongly encouraged to make their tools publicly available and submit an artifact. Tool papers are restricted to 12 pages in LNCS format, not counting references.

Case studies are expected to describe the use of verification, model checking, and abstract interpretation techniques in new application domains or industrial settings. Papers in this category do not necessarily need to present original research results but are expected to contain novel applications of formal methods and techniques as well as an evaluation of these techniques in the chosen application domain. Such papers are encouraged to discuss the unique challenges of transferring research ideas to a real-world setting and reflect on any lessons learned from this technology transfer experience. Case study papers are restricted to 20 pages in LNCS format, not counting references. (Shorter case study papers are also welcome.)

* Artifacts *
VMCAI 2024 allows authors to submit an artifact along with a paper. Artifacts are any additional material that substantiates the claims made in the paper, and ideally makes them fully replicable. Artifacts of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Software, Tools, or Frameworks
- Data sets
- Test suites
- Machine checkable proofs
- Any combination of them
- Any other artifact described in the paper

Artifact submission is optional. However, we highly encourage all authors to also submit an artifact. A successfully evaluated artifact can increase your chance of being accepted since the evaluation result of your artifact is taken into account during the paper review. The artifact will be evaluated in parallel with the submission by the artifact evaluation committee (AEC). The AEC will read the paper and evaluate the artifact on the following criteria:
- consistency with and replicability of results in the paper,
- completeness,
- documentation, and
- ease of use.
