Workshop/Tutorial day: June 30 2019
The 2019 WebSci Conference in Boston, MA is soliciting proposals for
workshops and tutorials addressing the way Web Science research can
illuminate key contemporary issues and global challenges. Workshops
should reflect the multidisciplinary nature of Web Science.
The tutorials could cover a wide variety of Web Science approaches and
methods, including but not limited to techniques for data collection,
processing, and analysis, as well as substantive interpretation, best
practices, and ethics.
Examples of potential WebSci workshop areas include:
*
Using Web Science for social good
*
Collective intelligence, collaborative production and crowdsourcing
*
Bias on the Web
*
Data ethics and algorithmic accountability
*
Digital inequalities: access, quality, and participation
*
Information privacy and cybersecurity
*
Learning and education on the Web
*
Misinformation and propaganda on the Web
*
Social connections and social influence on the Web
*
Internet politics and political participation
*
The evolution of social media services
*
Online health and wellness
Organizers are responsible for advertising accepted workshops and
tutorials, recruiting participants, and managing the review process if
paper submissions are invited. Successful proposals should also put
together a web page describing the event and distributing any
preliminary materials.
***
PROPOSAL FORMAT
****
Proposals should be up to 3 pages long and should include the following
information:
*
Workshop/tutorial title
*
Workshop/tutorial summary (1-2 paragraphs)
*
Workshop/tutorial description, including the motivation and goals of
the proposal, as well as its relevance to the field of Web Science.
*
Workshop/tutorial schedule and activities, including the format,
proposed activities (panels, sessions, interactive exercises, etc.),
as well as invited speakers or panelists.
*
Workshop/tutorial organizer info, including names, affiliations,
emails, and personal websites. Please indicate who would be the main
contact person for the submission and if the workshop has been run
in the past.
*
Target audience and audience size: the expected number and type of
attendees, along with any information about required skills or tools
with which participants need to be familiar.****
*
**Special requirements or equipment, if any.**
**
*ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA*
*Workshop and tutorial proposals will be evaluated based on their
academic rigor, timeliness, originality, potential to address important
questions and attract large multidisciplinary audiences. Relevance to
the field of Web Science is also a prerequisite for all submissions.*
*PROCEEDINGS*
*Workshop organisers are free to publish workshop proceedings. WebSci19
offers the possibility to include workshop papers as a companion
collection of the ACM WebSci19 proceedings. In this case, it is crucial
that workshop schedules are aligned with the schedule for the overall
proceedings publication, i.e. camera-ready papers need to be ready by 1
May 2019. *
