L’intelligenza artificiale trova già applicazione in molti settori, come la sanità, i trasporti, la didattica e l’intrattenimento. Più interagiamo con questi strumenti, meglio riusciamo a valutarne l’impatto economico e sociale e a guidarne l’evoluzione, regolamentando anche gli aspetti etici.

Il CSI Piemonte inaugura un nuovo formato di convegno, denominato "CSI Xperience", sul tema della Intelligenza Artificiale e delle sue relazioni con la società. L'evento è previsto per il 17 ottobre 2023 ed è aperto da Fulvio Corno, attuale presidente del Comitato Tecnico Scientifico del CSI.

All’interno della Milano Digital Week, il Politecnico di Milano realizza AI_EDU CAMP: un palinsesto articolato di workshop, talk, eventi performativi per riflettere in modo approfondito sul futuro della didattica con l’AI e preparare insegnanti, formatori e studenti ad un suo utilizzo efficace e sostenibile.

Le iniziative sono progettate e gestite da METID “Innovation Teaching and Learning” e Scuola del Design del Politecnico di Milano e il Collettivo AAA (alumni Polimi).

AccessCoVE (European Centre of Vocational Excellence in Accessibility) is an Erasmus+ project that aims to structure excellence in Vocational Education and Training in the field of Accessibility. Twenty-five partners from four different countries (Greece, Sweden, Spain, and Italy) joined their forces to establish a European multi-level innovative and constantly growing Centre of Vocational Excellence - the AccessCoVE - in the field of accessibility for individuals with disabilities (i.e. individuals with impairments and elders). The project is coordinated by prof. Konstantinos Papadopoulos from University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece).

On October 2, 2023, Politecnico di Torino's students will start the first semester in the new academic year. Welcome back!

Members of the e-Lite group teach various courses in the semester, some of them being elective. Such courses are offered in different bachelors' and masters' degrees. Courses' topics include web applications, databases, and human-computer interaction.

We invite students to familiarize themselves with the courses taught by group members and consider them for their choices. Continue to read for more details and useful links.

On September 6-8, 2023, the e-Lite group will attend (in person) the 3rd International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2023) in Lisbon, Portugal. Alberto Monge Roffarello will present the regular paper "Nudging Users or Redesigning Interfaces? Evaluating Novel Strategies for Digital Wellbeing Through inControl" on Wednesday, 6 September at 13:30 (Session 2).

The 2023 edition of the Italian Symposium on Digital Education (ISYDE), organized by the Italian e-Learning Society (SIe-L), is planned in Reggio Emilia (Italy) on September 13-15. From the e-Lite group, Fulvio will participate in the special plenary session Blending strategies in universities: methods, technologies and policies, that focuses on the adoption of blending learning technologies on some major Italian universities.

On June 26-30, 2023, the e-Lite group participated (in person) in the 15th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS 2023) in Swansea, United Kingdom.

Our participation proved to be a fruitful engagement, full of insightful discussions, critical feedback, and opportunities for growth. Here, we discuss the responses to our presentations and the constructive criticism we have garnered for future improvements.

Juan Pablo Sáenz and Tommaso Calò each presented a paper, while Tommaso also discussed his doctoral research during the Doctoral Consortium.

The first paper introduces an innovative conversational agent that captures a developer's reasoning and motivations during the coding process. The second paper, on the other hand, presents a visual programming tool enabling the design, training, and evaluation of deep learning models without the need for specific programming languages. Tommaso Calò's Doctoral Consortium research discusses how AI can bring changes to human experiences during design and creative processes.

On June 21st, 2023, Luca Mannella presented the paper "A Gateway-based MUD Architecture to Enhance Smart Home Security" at SpliTech 2023 (The 8th International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Technologies).

The paper was presented during the Special Session on CyberSecurity and IoT, chaired by Luca. The special session was held within the International Symposium on Internet of Things.

From the 20th to the 23th of June, the e-Lite research group will participate to the 8th International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Technologies (SpliTech 2023). The conference will be held in Croatia, in Split, and in Bol (Brač island).

On the 21st of June, Luca Mannella will chair the Special Session on Cybersecurity and IoT within the The International Symposium on Internet of Things.

During the special session, Luca will also present his last paper, co-authored with Prof. Fulvio Corno, entitled: "A Gateway-based MUD Architecture to Enhance Smart Home Security".
