****** Call for Papers ******
UbiComp '15 workshop: New frontiers of Quantified Self: finding new ways
for engaging users in collecting and using personal data
Workshop homepage: https://frontiersqs.wordpress.com/
We invite papers for the International Workshop: New frontiers of
Quantified Self: finding new ways for engaging users in collecting and
using personal data, at the 2015 ACM International Joint Conference on
Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2015), September 7-11,
Osaka, Japan.
****** Important Dates ******
Submission deadline: June 15, 2015
Notification to authors: July 1, 2015
Camera-ready deadline: July 10, 2015
Workshop day: September 7, 2015
All the accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library
and in the supplemental proceedings of the UbiComp Conference.
****** Objectives ******
Quantified Self (QS), also known as Personal Informatics (PI), is a
school of thought that aims to use technology for acquiring and
collecting data on different aspects of the daily lives of people. These
data can be internal states (e.g. mood or glucose level in the blood),
or indicators of performance (e.g. the kilometers run), or behaviors and
work habits (e.g. sleep or level of distraction). The purpose of
collecting these data is the gaining of self-knowledge or some kind of
change (behavioral, psychological, etc.).
This workshop has the aim of finding new ways for tracking, managing,
interpreting and visualizing personal data, by providing a shared forum
for researchers who are looking for inspirations for designing novel QS
systems, imagining how the self-tracking technologies will evolve in the
next years and what we could do to make them closer to the users' needs
and desires.
****** Topics of interest ******
We welcome researchers from diverse disciplines, such as UX designers,
HCI experts, developers, data mining and data visualization experts,
social scientists and psychologists, inviting them to submit manuscripts
related to every aspects that could promote reflections and advancements
in Quantified Self/Personal Informatics field.
Relevant workshop topics include but are not limited to:
- New technologies for self-monitoring (e.g. new wearable devices or
ubiquitous systems)
- New design techniques for engaging people in tracking their data
- Suggestions for interacting in new ways with Smart Objects embedded
with data gathering functions.
- Personalization and (lifelong) user modeling techniques
- Interoperability, semantic web and machine learning techniques
- Techniques for protecting personal data and make users perceive a
greater control on them
- New forms of data visualization and new interaction techniques for
manipulating personal information
- Methodologies for evaluating the subjective experience of QS applications
- Use cases that investigate the effectiveness of novel solutions for QS
****** Submission ******
Submit your paper in pdf format to
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=frontiersqs2015 using the SIGCHI
Extended Abstract format until June 15th.
We will accept both position papers and research papers, case studies,
future research challenges and reflections, two-to-six pages long.
Papers will be reviewed by the program committee based on their
pertinence with the workshop topics, quality of the exposition and,
mainly, potential to trigger discussions and insights for inspiring the
design of new solutions during the workshop.
****** Proceedings ******
The accepted workshop papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library
and in the supplemental proceedings of the UbiComp Conference.
After the workshop, we also plan to organize a special issue with the
most relevant contributions in an International Journal (e.g. User
Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction).
