Call for Tutorials for ICDAR 2024
The ICDAR 2024 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials that will be held on August 30th to September 4th (the correct final date will be communicated as soon as possible), before the main conference begins.
Important Dates
Proposals Due: Nov. 30, 2023 Acceptance Notification: Dec. 23, 2023 Dates of Tutorials: Aug. 30 - Sep. 4, 2024 ICDAR 2024 Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:
- Introduce students and newcomers to major topics of Document Analysis and Recognition (DAR) research.
- Provide instructions on established practices and methodologies.
- Introduce expert non-specialists to a DAR subarea. Survey a mature area of DAR research and/or practice.
- Motivate and explain a DAR topic of emerging importance.
- Overview DAR systems for industrial solutions (suggestion for researchers in industry).
- Introduce some recent innovative techniques for DAR research and software quality, such as open-source libraries, high-level API, technical frameworks for expert developments, etc. (suggestion for expert programmers).
An ICDAR tutorial should aim to give a comprehensive overview of a specific topic related to DAR. A good tutorial should be educational rather than just a cursory survey of techniques. The topic should be of sufficient relevance and importance to attract significant interest from the ICDAR community. Typical tutorial audiences consist of PhD students studying computer vision, image processing or pattern recognition, but also include researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. In order to facilitate innovative collaboration and interaction between researchers in academia and industry, the Tutorial Chairs strongly encourage proposals for industrial tutorials, in which researchers in companies describe DAR systems and overview industrial solutions to document analysis problems in real use-case industrial scenarios.
Proposals should be up to 4 pages in length, and should contain the following information:
- Title of the tutorial.
- Scope and motivation. A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure.
- Preference for the duration (full day or half day). Due to agenda constraints, half day tutorials are recommended. If a full day is needed,provide a brief justification.
- A detailed outline of the tutorial. Course description with list of topics to be covered, along with a brief outline.
- Relevance for ICDAR. A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the ICDAR audience.
- Expected target audience in terms of composition and estimated number of attendees. Prerequisite knowledge of the ICDAR audience for attending the tutorial.
- Short CV of organizers. A brief CV of the presenter(s), including name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, web page, background in the tutorial area (projects, relevant publications or tutorial-level articles on the subject), evidence of teaching experience.
- The name and e-mail address of the corresponding presenter. The corresponding presenter should be available for e-mail correspondence during the evaluation process, in the case clarifications and discussions on the scope and content of the proposal are needed.
Evaluation
The evaluation of the proposal will take into account its general interest for ICDAR attendees, the quality of the proposal (e.g., a tutorial that simply lists a set of concepts without any apparent rationale behind them will not be approved) as well as the expertise and skills of the presenters. We emphasize that the primary criteria for evaluation will be whether a proposal is interesting, well-structured, and motivated in relation to Document Analysis and Recognition, rather than the perceived experience/standing of the proposer. Last but not least, the tutorial should attract a meaningful audience, cover hot topics and incorporate new knowledge to the community. Those submitting a proposal should keep in mind that tutorials are intended to provide an overview of the field; they should present reasonably well established information in a balanced way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should they promote a product.
Notes
Tutorial slides must be provided to us for inclusion on the conference website and also on the TC-10 and TC-11 websites, as educational material. The ICDAR main conference organizers will handle the tutorial registration and provide the space, coffee breaks and other facilities required to organize tutorials (e.g. a room, a projector and a screen).
Submission Guidelines & Inquiries
All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the Tutorial Chairs: – Alicia Fornes afornes@cvc.uab.es – Vincent Christlein vincent.christlein@fau.de
Feedback, comments and/or suggestions would be provided within two weeks of receiving the proposal. Final acceptance (or rejection) would be decided by December 23, 2023.
Inquiries should be sent to tutorials-chairs@icdar2024.net or the above emails.

Daniela Lopez de Luise IEEE ICHMS 2024
The 4th IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, May 15-17, 2024
https://ichms.blog.torontomu.ca/
CALL FOR PAPERS
The theme of the 4th ICHMS is “Trustworthy Human-Autonomy Teaming”. The conference will cover progress and contributions on brain-inspired autonomous systems at multiple scales, including cognitive science, engineering, and design for safe and trusted human-autonomy teaming; technological aids for verifiable artificial intelligence (AI) decisions; trust modeling, measures, and management, and fundamental issues of trust and barriers to adoption of AI-enabled autonomy in complex socio-technical systems. The organization of ICHMS will include Regular Sessions, Special Sessions, Poster Sessions, and Sessions focused on PhD student research. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore. ICHMS will be jointly held with the IEEE International Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Symposium 2024 with the theme of “Best of Two Worlds: Human-AI Teaming for Effective Decision-Making” https://ieeeideas.org/ideas-2024/ .
Regular papers (6 pages) should provide complete and high-quality contributions to the field. Short Papers (4 pages) are expected to cover recent research outcomes that are not yet mature enough for a regular paper but still provide novel insights. Posters (1 page) should ideally show work in progress or applications/demos that can be best presented through an interactive format at the meeting. Submission to a Regular, Special, or a PhD Session should focus on topics including, but not limited to:
- Assured Autonomy
- Augmented Cognition
- Authority/Control Transfer
- Brain-Inspired Autonomous Systems
- Brain-Machine Interfaces
- Decision-Support and Recommender Systems
- Ethical Aspects of Human-AI Symbiotic Systems
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Human-Autonomy Cooperation and Teaming
- Human Performance Modeling
- Human-Machine/Robot Interaction
- Interaction-Centered Design
- Intelligent Adaptive Systems
- Multi-User Interaction
- Resilience Engineering in Human-AI Symbiotic Systems
- Team Performance and Training Systems
- User-AI Agent Interaction
- User State Monitoring
- Trust Modeling, Measurement, and Management
- Virtual and Mixed Reality Systems
- Wearable Computing
- Web-based Interactive Systems
Confirmed and Tentative Special Sessions and Keynote Speakers
Special Sessions play a crucial role in the success of ICHMS and address key and timely topics. The following Special Sessions will take place at ICHMS 2024: (1) Adjustable Human Autonomy Collaboration, (2) Human-Machine Teaming on the Battlefield, (3) Advancement of Crew Autonomy Enabling Moon/Mars Surface Exploration Systems, (4) Trustworthy Autonomous Systems, (5) Human-Machine Teaming for Effective Decision-Making.

ICHMS and IDEaS will also feature three prominent keynote speakers from academia, government/military, and industry. Confirmed keynote speakers are listed at https://ichms.blog.torontomu.ca/keynote-speakers/
All paper submissions MUST be in PDF format. Complete manuscripts must be electronically submitted via the ICHMS2024 EasyChair site https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ieeeichms2024. Submitted manuscripts must appear in IEEE two-column format, including figures, tables, and references. Please use the IEEE templates available at Manuscript Templates for IEEE Conference Proceedings to prepare your paper (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
Authors of accepted papers will need to register online for the conference before the early registration deadline (see below) in order for papers to be published in the conference proceedings.
