[Commlist] CFP: misinformation @ Interact2019

** CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION ***

Somehow, all of us have been affected by the uncontrolled spread of the 
so-called Fake News online. Join us in the fight against 
misinformation and bring your ideas on how we can support societies more 
resilient to this problem.

We invite participants and position papers for the *Workshop - 
Challenging Misinformation: Exploring Limits and Approaches*@ 
http://interact2019.org <http://interact2019.org/> in Paphos, Cyprus on 
the 3rd of September.

Grounded on principles of co-creation, this one-day workshop will offer 
an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners aiming at 
challenging the limits of existing approaches to tackle misinformation 
and fostering the design of misinformation resilient societies.

Interaction designers, journalists, educators, policymakers or other 
related stakeholders are encouraged to participate and submit a position 
paper describing their approach towards fighting misinformation, 
acknowledged limits of the approach, and how they envision a future in 
which the societies are resilient to mis/disinformation.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * Socio-technical empirical studies
  * Motivational and behavioural studies
  * Human values
  * Persuasive technology
  * Games and gamification
  * Information and media literacy
  * Fact-checking
  * Social media policies and regulation
  * Automated tools for misinformation detection and notifications
  * Legal and ethical aspects


The paper should be from 2 to 4 pages in the Springer LNCS format. 
/Accepted papers will be published in the adjunct conference proceedings 
and available at the workshop website. /
Submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organisers according to 
their relevance to the problem and motivations to advance towards a more 
systemic socio-technical solution.

Workshop outcomes will be published as a poster presentation at the main 
conference and as a video. The possibility of a special issue journal 
will be discussed with the participants. Participants will be invited to 
actively engage in a series of co-creation activities for:

  * Discussing challenges, obstacles or problems related to misinformation
  * Challenging existing approaches to misinformation and their limitations
  * Mapping stakeholders, questioning the relationships between them
  * Co-creating future scenarios where digital platforms support
    misinformation resilience

    make an impact
