Call for Papers – Visual Interfaces and Interactions for AI-based Persuasive Systems (VII-AIPS 2023) Persuasive Technology 2023 Workshop 
 19 April 2023 – Eindhoven, The Netherlands More info: http://avcd.aalto.fi/viiaips2023/ Submission deadline 06 March 2023 ============================================== ABOUT THE WORKSHOP ================== This workshop aims to bring together researcher and practitioners from a range of diverse disciplines to shed light on the various interdependencies that exists in the triangle formed by PT (persuasive technologies), XAI (AI systems with self-explanation capabilities), and IxD (interaction design), with a particular focus on visual interfaces and interaction for AI-based persuasive systems. The workshop will provide the participants with an opportunity to share their diverse perspectives and research coming from their own contributing fields. It is part of the The 18th International Conference on Persuasive Technology 2023 Conference. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ================== Potential participants are invited to submit short position papers that address and highlight their specific interests in the main research question of this workshop: How can visual interfaces and interactions be used to exploit the self-explanatory capabilities of AI-based persuasive systems to support their users? In addressing this question, the position papers may relate to a range of topics and areas of interest, including, but not limited to: – role of visual explanations in behavior change mechanisms and models. – explanation-based and/or visual persuasive strategies. – visual user interfaces and virtual agents for persuasive systems. – IxD aspects of interventions and visual feedback mechanisms. – quantitative and qualitative research investigating the effectiveness of AI-based persuasive strategies. – best practices, case studies, and applications of visual interfaces and interactions for persuasive systems. Numbers permitting, the workshop will also be open to other participants without an accepted position paper. WORKSHOP STRUCTURE ================== This one-day workshop is structured to make it fully participatory, practice-oriented and engaging. It comprises two main sessions. The morning session will be used for presentations given by the participants and an invited speaker. The afternoon will be reserved for group work to identify application domains, collect use cases, identify domain-specific as well as domain-agnostic commonalities and requirements, and exchange experiences on what has worked and what has not worked. Based on the analysis we will then compile a set of guidelines and recommendations for the design of visual interfaces and interactions for AI-based persuasive systems. We hope to run the workshop in person at the conference. Provisions will however be made to run the workshop in remote or hybrid mode if necessary. SUBMISSIONS ================== Position papers should generally be short (5-9 pages max), and prepared according to the Springer LNCS format (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui...). Submissions should be made through Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=viiaips2023). The workshop organizers will review the submitted position papers, and select 10-15 papers for presentation at the workshop based on their quality, originality and relevance to the workshop research question and topics of interest. Accepted position papers will be made available to the workshop participants. The authors will also have the option of including their papers in a post-conference workshop proceedings that will be published through CEUR (https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html). Details of this option will be made available closer to the workshop by the conference organizers. In addition, through the planned discussion session and group work, the workshop will actively seek other potential future outcomes. These may, for instance, include a special issue of an international journal and/or a co-authored report for dissemination of the workshop results.
