> Subject: ECIAIR 2019 Second call for papers for The European Conference on
> the Impact of AI and Robotics
>
> Hello
>
> This is the second call for papers for the European Conference on the Impact
> of AI and Robotics (ECIAIR 2019) being hosted by EM-Normandie Business
> School, Oxford Campus, UK
>
> This call will close on the 11th April 2019.
>
> The European Conference on the Impact of AI and Robotics (ECIAIR 2019) has
> come about as a result of the maturing of artificial intelligence and robotics,
> particularly of the cognitive computing kind, which is producing an
> unprecedented revolution in the role of work and professionals in society.
> This Conference aims to focus not so much on the technology itself, but rather
> its consequence on knowledge, work and society. We are looking for research
> with a broad set of approaches including the future of the professions;
> knowledge networks enabled by cognitive computing and other technologies;
> education issues; collaborative robots; ever-more autonomous machines and
> their relationship with humans; whether we will need to demand ethical or at
> least acceptable social behaviours on the part of machines; considerations on
> assigning personhood to machines; to name a few topics.
>
> We invite contributions for academic research, case studies and work-in-
> progress/posters are also welcomed approaches. PhD Research, proposals for
> roundtable discussions, non-academic contributions and product
> demonstrations based on the main themes are also invited. A prize will be
> awarded to the best PhD paper and the best Poster.
>
> In addition to the main conference topics, the advisory group invites
> submissions to the following mini tracks:
>
> • Ethics and Artificial Intelligence
> • Malicious Use of Artificial Intelligence: New Challenges for
> Democratic Institutions and Political Stability
> • AI and Cyber Security
>
> For a full list of topics and further information please see:
> https://www.academic-conferences.org/conferences/eciair/eciair-call-for-
> papers/
>
> Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the conference
> proceedings, subject to author registration and payment.
>
> Please feel free to circulate this message to any colleagues or contacts you
> think may be interested.

> IEEE COMPSAC 2019
> Hosted by Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA July 15-19, 2019
> Data-Driven Intelligence for a Smarter World
>
> For Full CFP, please visit https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2019/

> COMPSAC is the IEEE Computer Society Signature Conference on Computers,
> Software and Applications. It is a major international forum for academia,
> industry, and government to discuss research results and advancements,
> emerging challenges, and future trends in computer and software
> technologies and applications. The theme of COMPSAC 2019 is Data-Driven
> Intelligence for a Smarter World.
>
> In the era of “big data” there is an unprecedented increase in the amount of
> data collected in data warehouses. Extracting meaning and knowledge from
> these data is crucial for governments and businesses to support their strategic
> and tactical decision making. Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI) and
> machine learning (ML) makes it possible for machines, processing large
> amounts of such data, to learn and execute tasks never before accomplished.
> Advances in big data-related technologies are increasing rapidly. For example,
> virtual assistants, smart cars, and smart home devices in the emerging
> Internet of Things world, can, we think, make our lives easier. But despite
> perceived benefits of these technologies/methodologies, there are many
> challenges ahead. What will be the social, cultural, and economic challenges
> arising from these developments? What are the technical issue related, for
> example, to the privacy and security of data used by AI/ML systems? How
> might humans interact with, rely on, or even trust AI predictions or decisions
> emanating from these technologies? How can we prevent such data-driven
> intelligence from being used to make malicious decisions?
>
> COMPSAC 2019, organized as a tightly integrated union of symposia, will
> focus on technical aspects related these kinds of issues as part of the
> ”Intelligence” theme of the conference. The technical program will include
> keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case studies, fast abstracts, a
> doctoral symposium, poster sessions, and workshops and tutorials on
> emerging and important topics related to the conference theme.
>
> Highlights of the conference will include plenary and specialized panels that
> will address the technical challenges facing technologists who are developing
> and deploying these data-driven intelligent systems and applications. Panels
> will also address cultural and societal challenges for a society whose
> members must continue to learn to live, work, and play in the environments
> the technologies produce.
>
> Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research work, as well as
> industrial practice reports. Simultaneous submission to other publication
> venues is not permitted except as highlighted at the COMPSAC
> 2019 J1C2 & C1J2 page. All submissions must adhere to IEEE Publishing
> Policies, and all will be vetted through the IEEE CrossCheck portal.
