*********************Overview**********************

The SOCIALIZE workshop aims to bring together all those interested in the 
development of interactive techniques that may contribute to fostering the 
social and cultural inclusion of a broad range of users. More specifically, we 
intend to attract research that takes into account the interaction 
peculiarities typical of different realities, with a focus on disadvantaged and 
at-risk categories (e.g., refugees and migrants) and vulnerable groups (e.g., 
children, elderly, autistic, and disabled people). Among others, we are also 
interested in human-robot interaction techniques aimed at the development of 
social robots, that is, autonomous robots that interact with people by engaging 
in social-affective behaviors, abilities, and rules related to their 
collaborative role.

**********************Topics***********************

The main topics of the workshop are (but not limited to):
* Multi-cultural system design;
* Empirical studies on the impact of culture on systems;
* Cultural and social influence in recommender systems;
* Cultural and social aspects as contextual factors;
* Cultural and social influence in online learning platforms (e.g., MOOC);
* Methods for automatic assessment of social and cultural background from 
social media;
* Strategies for adapting systems to groups of users with different backgrounds;
* Cross-cultural analyses of trust in systems;
* Human-robot adaptation for cross-cultural users, including under-represented 
groups;
* Personalized Human-Robot Interaction (HRI);
* Adaptation strategies for social HRI;
* Machine learning for social robots;
* Emotion and personality detection in social HRI;
* Social robots as conversational recommender systems
* Social robots in the real world;

********************Submissions********************

Researchers and practitioners in academia or industry are encouraged to submit 
original manuscripts relevant to the audience of the workshop. Papers must 
comply with the standard ACM SIGCHI Paper Format (see 
https://iui.acm.org/2022/call_for_papers.html 
<https://iui.acm.org/2022/call_for_papers.html>).
The contributions can be: Full papers (6 pages excluding references) and Short 
papers (4 pages excluding references), including substantial work-in-progress, 
perspective papers, and lessons learned; and Challenge, Position, and Demo 
papers (2 pages excluding references), describing research challenges in theory 
or practice, defining new promising research directions, and demonstrating 
innovative software prototypes.

Manuscripts must be submitted via Easychair 
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socialize2022 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socialize2022>) by January 14, 2022 
(extended). All submissions will undergo a peer-review process. Reviewers will 
consider originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity, and relevance 
to the workshop’s topics. The reviewing process will be double-blind.
Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work during the 
workshop, and at least one author of each accepted paper must register for and 
(virtually) attend the workshop.
