SIGIR-AP 2023 Second Call For Papers
http://www.sigir-ap.org/sigir-ap-2023/call-for-papers/
SIGIR-AP (Asia/Pacific) http://www.sigir-ap.org/
is a new regional IR conference whose scope is fundamentally the same as SIGIR. Authors of accepted papers can either present their work in-person or remotely.
The conference adopts double-blind, single-track reviewing, and allows submissions of papers that are commensurate with contribution size. There are two types of SIGIR-AP submissions: Regular submissions and SIGIR-Revise-and-Resubmit submissions.
Regular submissions:
These are new, original contributions that have not been submitted elsewhere before. We also welcome Resource papers and Reproducibility papers. Resources papers consider test collections and labelled datasets, designs and protocols of evaluation tasks, and software tools and services for information access. Reproducibility papers repeat, reproduce, generalize, and reexamine prior work, for example analysing to what extent assumptions of the original work are valid, or identify error modes and unexpected conclusions; typically these papers involve a new team and a new experimental setup, that is, they go beyond replication.
Page length: (A) Paper body + (B) references.
(A) Paper body length should be 2-9 pages, and be commensurate with contribution size.
(B) No page limit for the references section.
SIGIR-Revise-and-Resubmit (SIGIR-RR) submissions:
These are revised versions of either full or short papers that were not accepted at the immediately preceding SIGIR conference. (No other SIGIR paper tracks, e.g., perspectives, resource, reproducibility etc. are accommodated similarly this year.) In addition to the revised paper, the authors must include in the submission file a text explaining the revision based on the SIGIR reviews, as well as the original SIGIR submission.
Page length: (A) Paper body + (B) references + (C) explanation (with SIGIR paper ID) + (D) SIGIR submission
(A) Paper body length should be 2-9 pages, and be commensurate with contribution size.
(B) No page limit for the references section.
(C) Explanation (1-3 pages, no style requirements): a SIGIR paper ID, plus a text that explain how the authors addressed the points raised by the SIGIR reviewers after the SIGIR rejection.
(D) SIGIR submission: please include the original anonymised SIGIR submission as is in the SIGIR-AP submission.

CALL FOR PAPERS - 2nd International Workshop on Smart Agriculture for the
environmental emergency (SmartAgr)
June 26, 2023
Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee
https://smartagr.santannapisa.it/
In conjunction with IEEE Int. Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP
2023)
The global environmental emergency, due to the fast climate changes, is heavily impacting
on human activities and life. Agriculture, as one of the main human activities, is directly
involved in meeting the needs of the growing population. It is responsible of around the 70%
of total water consumption and has heavy effects on the environment and on the land use,
increasing the pollution of natural resources (air, water, soil). Recently, agriculture was
addressed by a technology evolution where the new paradigm of Smart Agriculture guided
the introduction of technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks,
wireless communications, remote monitoring to sustain and make more efficient the
agriculture production. The global environmental emergency solicits a further evolution of
Smart Agriculture to provide scientific and technological solutions suitable to make
agriculture more resilient to climate changes and to better address the issues related to the
protection of natural resources and to the increased need of food.
In this context, Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is where smart and precise agriculture can
converge to provide scientific and technological solutions in support of the planet, human
life, and agricultural production, with a continuous attention to the environmental
emergency. Climate-Smart Agriculture can guide the evolution of agriculture, make the
intensive production more efficient and cope with the growth of a starving population,
especially in the most populated and environmentally stressed areas and where natural
resources (soil, water and biodiversity) are drastically jeopardized.
Smart Agriculture, treasuring the technology evolution in the field of Pervasive Computing,
IoT, Artificial Intelligence, embedded systems etc. and the new perspective introduced by
CSA can answer the aforementioned needs, improving the productivity and the
environmental sustainability and preserving natural resources. It can drive the evolution of
the agriculture and reorienting the focus on the Three Pillars of CSA as stated by the FAO:
- sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes,
- adapting and building resilience to climate change,
- reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions, where possible.
These pillars outline the direction of action regarding the FAO Strategic Framework
2022-2031 based on the Four Betters: better production, better nutrition, a better
environment and a better life for all, leaving no one behind.
The 2nd International Workshop on Smart Agriculture for the environmental emergency
(SmartAgr) investigates the design, implementation, and assessment of innovative
technological solutions, including new paradigms, methods, systems, and tools to ensure the
implementation of Smart Agriculture to face off the environmental emergency.
SmartAgr is an interdisciplinary, multi-national initiative to gather electrical and
telecommunication engineers, computer scientists, agronomists, biotechnologists to present
new pervasive computing and embedded systems, communication and networking solutions
and devices to meet the aforementioned challenges. The workshop invites and calls for
participation both representatives of academia and industry across the world interested in
discussing on the last evolution of Smart Agriculture with a focus on the environmental
emergency. From this point of view the workshop can provide a place where to profitably
exchange ideas, present applications and solutions taking advantage from the heterogeneity
of the contributors to encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas and competencies.
The papers should address forefront research and development in Smart Agriculture with a
particular focus on, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Pervasive computing and embedded systems solutions enabling Smart Agriculture
to face off environmental emergency.
- Artificial intelligence in Smart Agriculture with attention to the environmental
emergency.
- Communications and networking technologies supporting Smart Agriculture
systems and solutions to preserve natural resources and improve productivity.
- New solutions, systems, models, applications to reduce CO2 emissions.
- Technologies and applications to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and
resilience to climate changes.
- Technologies and application to preserve natural resources (soil, water, and
biodiversity).
Each accepted paper requires a full SMARCOMP registration and will be included and
indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore) and in Scopus Database.

CALL FOR PAPERS - Eighth IEEE Workshop on Smart Service Systems (SmartSys 2023)
Co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP
2023)
Nashville, Tennessee, USA, June 26th, 2023
http://smartsys2023.dii.unipi.it/
Technology succeeds when it provides benefits to the society either directly or indirectly.
Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart
system or technology in advance and designing the system a priori with potential
value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies and innovative
services. Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of
devices, people, organizations, environments and technologies to sense, actuate,
control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems.
Besides the systems being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, need to be designed in such a way
that it can continuously increase the quality and productivity, the compliance and
sustainability of the smart services it offers. While human-centered perspective and
cognitive learning help create multi-facet value added services and catalyze the sustained
economic growth of smart service systems, understanding the multi-modal sensing,
control, heterogeneity and interdependency between different physical, virtual and logical
components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative
smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-experience
of the customers, quality-of-life of the citizens and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and
investors.
Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks for inter- and trans-disciplinary
crosscutting research threads from system and operational engineering, computer science
and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and
industrial engineering etc. The goal of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and
researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and
technical presentations on the fundamental knowledge and principles of smart
service systems that enable the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics,
learning, cognition, and control of human centric cyber-physical-social systems and future of
work.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Innovative tools, methodologies and solutions for smart service systems; example includes
personalized healthcare, smart energy,
smart cities, smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation, education, precision
medicine and agriculture, national security etc.
- Information extraction and interpretation from sensors, actuators, smart phones, wearable
devices (e.g., smart watches), and humans
- Context and situational awareness of smart service systems.

CALL FOR PAPERS - Ninth IEEE International Workshop on Sensors and Smart Cities -
SSC 2023
June 26, 2023, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee.
http://ssc2023.unime.it
To be held in conjunction with
Ninth IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2023)
A smart city represents an improvement of today’s cities both functionally and structurally,
that strategically utilizes many smart factors, such as information and communications
technology (ICT), to increase the city’s sustainable growth and strengthen city functions,
while ensuring citizens’ quality of life and health. Cities can be viewed as a microcosm of
“objects” with which citizens interact daily: street furniture, public buildings, transportation,
monuments, public lighting and much more. Moreover, a continuous monitoring of a city’s
status occurs through sensors and processors applied within the real-world infrastructure.
The Internet of Things (IoT) concept imagines all these objects being “smart”, connected to
the Internet, and able to communicate with each other and with the external environment,
interacting and sharing data and information. Each object in the IoT can be both the
collector and distributor of information regarding mobility, energy consumption, air
pollution as well as potentially offering cultural and tourist information. As a consequence,
cyber and real worlds are strongly linked in a smart city. New services can be deployed when
needed and evaluation mechanisms will be set up to assess the health and success of a smart
city.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together innovative developments in areas related to
sensors and smart cities, including but not limited to:
computing and sensing infrastructures
cost (of node, energy, development, deployment, maintenance)
communication (security, resilience, low energy)
adaptability (to environment, energy, faults)
data processing (on nodes, distributed, aggregation, discovery, big data)
self-learning (pattern discovery, prediction, auto-configuration)
deployment (cost, error prevention, localization)
maintenance (troubleshooting, recurrent costs)
applications (both new and enjoying new life)
smart users experience
trust and privacy
crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, participatory sensing
cognition and awareness
cyber-physical systems
smart tourism
Both review articles and original research papers relating to sensors and smart cities are
solicited. There is particular interest for papers with advances towards practical experiences
and services overcoming the adoption barriers for sensors and smart cities.
Submission Guidelines
Paper submissions should be no longer than 6 pages with a font size of 10 using the IEEE

SECOND CALL FOR TASK PARTICIPATION: NTCIR-17 FairWeb-1 Task (Registration due April 15, 2023 AoE)
http://sakailab.com/fairweb1/
# Overview
Intro slide deck: https://waseda.box.com/fairweb1intro2023feb
The FairWeb-1 task is a new English web search task that considers both relevance and group fairness.
Each of our search topic seeks information about specific entity types: R (researher), M (movies), and Y (YouTube contents); accordingly, we have four topic types:
R-topics (e.g., information retrieval researchers)
M-topics (e.g., Daniel Craig 007 movies)
Y-topics (e.g., Coldplay covers on YouTube)
For evaluating group fairness, we consider the following attribute sets containing either ordinal or nominal groups:
R-topics: h-index (ordinal) AND gender (nominal)
M-topics: #ratings on IMDb (ordinal) AND geographic region (nominal)
Y-topics: #subscribers of the YouTube account (ordinal)
For R- and M-topics, we will evaluate intersectional groupfairness.
For example, for each R-topic, we want the search engine result page (SERP)
to contain information about researchers with varying levels of h-index (not just high h-index people), AND with different genders (not just "men").
# Task input/ouput
INPUT:
- a search topic (R, M, or Y)
- attribute set(s) and target distribution(s)
OUTPUT:
- a TREC-style run (a SERP for each topic)
# Evaluation method
We will use the Group Fairness and Relevance (GFR) framework: please see the slide deck for details.
# Timeline
February 15, 2023 Pilot relevance assessments for the sample topics and a few pilot runs released
February 1-March 10, 2023 Topic development

Prof. Gabriel Skantze (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden)
Prof. Hiromitsu Nishizaki (University of Yamanashi, Japan)
Prof. Ryuichiro Higashinaka (Nagoya University, Japan)

Publication in Vol. 37, Issue 21 (Nov 2023)
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 28 Feb 2023
In recent years, as seen in smart speakers such as Google Home and Amazon
Alexa, there has been remarkable progress in spoken dialogue systems
technology to converse with users with human-like utterances. In the future,
such dialogue systems are expected to support our daily activities in
various ways. However, dialogue in daily activities is more complex than
that with smart speakers; even with current spoken dialogue technology, it
is still difficult to maintain a successful dialogue in various
situations. For example, in customer service through dialogue, it is
necessary for operators to respond appropriately to the different ways of
speaking and requests of various customers. In such cases, we humans can
switch the speaking manner depending on the type of customer, and we can
successfully perform the dialogue by not only using our voice but also our
gaze and facial expressions.
This type of human-like interaction is far from possible with the existing
spoken dialogue systems. Humanoid robots have the possibility to realize
such an interaction, because they can recognize not only the user's voice
but also facial expressions and gestures using various sensors, and can
express themselves in various ways such as gestures and facial expressions
using their bodies. Their many means of expressions have the potential to
successfully continue dialogue in a manner different from conventional
dialogue systems.
The combination of such robots and dialogue systems can greatly expand the
possibilities of dialogue systems, while at the same time, providing a
variety of new challenges. Various research and development efforts are
currently underway to address these new challenges, including "dialogue
robot competition" at IROS2022.
In this special issue, we invite a wide range of papers on multimodal
dialogue systems and dialogue robots, their applications, and fundamental
research. Prospective contributed papers are invited to cover, but are not
limited to, the following topics on multimodal dialogue systems and robots:
*Spoken dialogue processing
*Multimodal processing
*Speech recognition
*Text-to-speech
*Emotion recognition
*Motion generation
*Facial expression generation
*System architecture
*Natural language processing
*Knowledge representation
*Benchmarking
*Evaluation method
*Ethics
*Dialogue systems and robots for competition
Submission:
The full-length manuscript (either PDF file or MS word file) should be sent
by 28th Feb 2023 to the office of Advanced Robotics, the Robotics Society of
Japan through the on-line submission system of the journal
(https://www.rsj.or.jp/AR/submission). Sample manuscript templates and
detailed instructions for authors are available at the website of the
journal.

Call for submissions
GRADES-NDA 2023
6th Joint Workshop on Graph Data Management Experiences & Systems
(GRADES) and Network Data Analytics (NDA)
In conjunction with SIGMOD/PODS 2023.
Sunday June 18, Seattle, WA, USA.
Workshop Website:
https://gradesnda.github.io/
Deadlines: March 15, 2023 (Abstracts), March 22, 2023 (Papers)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** FOCUS AND GOALS ***
The GRADES-NDA workshop focuses on the application areas, usage
scenarios and open challenges in managing large-scale graph-shaped data.
The workshop is a forum for exchanging ideas and methods for mining,
querying and learning with real-world network data, developing new
common understandings of the problems at hand, sharing of data sets and
benchmarks where applicable, and leveraging existing knowledge from
different disciplines. Additionally, considering specific techniques
(e.g., algorithms, data/index structures) in the context of the systems
that implement them, rather than describing them in isolation,
GRADES-NDA aims to present technical contributions inside graph, RDF and
other data management systems on graphs of a large size (many millions
of nodes and beyond).
The goal of GRADES-NDA is to bring together researchers from academia,
industry, and government, to create a forum for discussing recent
advances in (large-scale) graph data management and analytics systems,
as well as propose and discuss novel methods and techniques towards
addressing domain specific challenges, or handling noise in real-world
graphs.
The workshop will be of interest to researchers in the development of
novel data-management applications and systems for large-scale graph
analytics. More specifically, the intended audience are, but not limited
to, academic and industrial computer scientists interested in databases
and data mining, machine learning, data streaming, graph theory and
algorithms. Along with novel research work, we encourage submissions
with demonstrations and case studies from real-life experiences in
various domains such as Social Networks, Biological Network Data,
Marketing and Media, Business Data Analysis, Healthcare Data,
Cybersecurity etc.
*** WORKSHOP TOPICS ***
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following.
* Graph query languages, visualization techniques and querying
interfaces, and their effective realization
* Graph platform and parallel platforms, e.g., Flink/Gelly, Titan,
SPARK/GraphX, GraphLab/PowerGraph, Giraph, GraphChi etc.
* Network data representation, storage, indexing and querying methods
* Experiences or techniques for graph specific operations such as
traversals or inference/reasoning in the context of large data sets and
on the systems that implement those operations
* RDF data management and analytics
* Dynamic Graphs: managing graph updates; graph stream analytics;
analyzing evolution and detection of community structures in real-world
evolving graphs
* Mining and machine learning on heterogeneous networks -- knowledge
graphs etc.
* Graph summarization and sampling
* Game Theory, Social contagion and Information propagation on networks
* Analytics on dirty, noisy, or uncertain graphs
* Spatial and temporal graph analytics
* Analytics on social, biological, retail, marketing, customer care,
financial, healthcare, transportation network data sets
* Descriptions of graph data management use cases and query workloads,
and experiences with applying data management technologies in such
situations
* Vision and systems papers describing potential or real applications
and benefits of graph management
