21 September 2022 : the organization of the DTU Congress begins
Very soon the themes of the congress and the different tracks will be announced
About
Extending the scientific purpose of its first edition (celebrated in 2018 at MSH Paris Nord) and second edition (celebrated in 2020 at Hammamet Tunisia) the Digital Tools & Uses Congress 2024 brings together researchers and specialists in the field of computer science, information, communication, psychology, ergonomics and humanities in order to reflect about the uses and impact of digital artifacts in our society. Indeed, the fast pace at which our digital objects of study are transformed nowadays calls for an interdisciplinary dissection of our hypermediated world. From connected objects, to big data, to artificial intelligence, to digital culture and ideology, we need to develop novel approaches to understand our present networks, infrastructures, institutions, and representation models projected into our digital tools.
Consistent to its initial format, the DTUC’24 is organized in five different but interrelated tracks that facilitate discussion between participants. Thus, speakers and presenters are welcome to attend sessions and events organized by any track. Such format proved useful and fostered interdisciplinary collaboration in the first edition. We hope it will contribute to the advancement of human uses of computing from the Mediterranean, North African, and European context.
Topics
DTUC’24 welcomes original submissions covering human aspects of information and communication technology: uses, models, methods, experiences, systems critique. Special attention will be put in interdisciplinary proposal that establish connections between the conference tracks and topics: Internet of Things, Big Data, Digital Libraries, Web-based and Web-oriented studies.
Submission Categories and Process
DTUC’24 invites submissions in the following categories:
• Long Papers: dedicated to long and mid-term research and experiences. The extension ranges from 4 to 6 pages.
• Short Papers: ongoing projects, simulations, tests, experiments, self-critique and reflection. Extension: 2 to 4 pages.
• Posters: innovative discoveries, new systems and approaches. Extension: 2-page description.
• Demos: interactive systems, novel interfaces, emergent approaches to human-computer interaction. Extension: 2-page description.
Submission Format
Please use the ACM Master Template to prepare your proposal.
Important: At the first step you are required to submit as anonymous author for peer-reviewing. That is, leave in blank the Author and Affiliation text of the template. If your proposal is accepted, you will then prepare a final version with your full name and contact details.
Evaluation Process
• All the proposals submitted to any of the five tracks follow a rigorous double-blind evaluation process. This means that both submitters and reviewers are anonymized during the reviewing process.
• The reviewing team consists of members of the scientific committee, whose composition includes scholars, engineers, technicians, specialists, and artists, depending on the track.
• Any submitted paper that includes affiliation information will be automatically discarded for review.
• Instead of submitting initial abstracts, proposals must be sent in a ready-to-print format from the beginning of the evaluation process. This allows to concentrate directly on the content, the research results, the scientific argumentation and methodology.
• The paper review criteria is based on originality, accordance to the theme and topics, scientific/technical contribution, and clarity of presentation.
• Accepted submissions will have the opportunity to make amendments and corrections suggested by the reviewers. Only at this phase, papers are allowed to display affiliation information.
Registration and Publication
• At least one author of accepted proposals is expected to register for the conference.
• Accepted submissions should be published in the DTUC’24 book of proceedings.
ACM publish the proceedings of DTUC’20 in the ACM Digital Library within its International Conference Proceedings Series.
Accepted authors will be sent the ACM rights management form and complete instructions.
All rights management forms must be submitted and approved four weeks prior to DTUC’24. After completing their rights management form, authors will be emailed the correct rights text and bibliographic strip to place within their paper. Authors must enter the text into their final paper.
The book of proceedings will be available at the moment of the conference through the ACM Digital Library.
