INVITED SPEAKERS
Camille Bourgaux - CNRS researcher at École Normale Supérieure (part of PSL University), France
Gabriele Kern-Isberner - Technical University of Dortmund, Germany
Ondřej Kuželka - Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic
SUBMISSIONS
DL reviewing is single-blind, so the names of the authors will be visible to the reviewers and should be indicated on the submitted files. We allow anonymous submission on request (see below).
Submissions within the workshop scope may be of two types:
A. Regular papers of up to 11 pages (excluding references).
B. Extended abstracts of 2–4 pages (excluding references).
Both regular papers and abstracts must be formatted using the new CEURART style, based on the DL-specific template available on:
https://dl2024.w.uib.no/submissions/
and submitted via Easychair.
Submissions of type A must contain enough substance that they can be cited in other publications and may not have appeared before (nor be under submission). A clearly marked appendix with additional proofs and evaluation data may be included.
For submissions of type B, we highly encourage a clearly marked appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or extended version of your paper, which was accepted at another conference or which you submitted or plan to submit to another conference. Abstracts of papers accepted or under review at other venues must clearly state the venue where the paper has been submitted alongside its status.
The appendix will be read at the discretion of the reviewers and will not be included in the proceedings. The appendix does not need to be in the CEURART format.
Accepted submissions of both types will be selected for either oral or poster presentation at the workshop. Submissions will be judged solely based on their content, and the type of submission will have no bearing on the decision between oral and poster presentation.
Anonymous Submission
In justified cases, if you wish your submission to be handled anonymously (i.e. double-blind), please send an e-mail to the PC co-chairs explaining the reasons. You will receive instructions on how to proceed.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Workshop on Algorithmic Behavior Change Support (ALBECS-2024)
Co-located with the 19th International Conference on Persuasive Technology 2024
Wollongong, Australia
Workshop: April 10th, 2024
Conference: April 11th – 12th, 2024
Workshop website: https://albecs-workshop.github.io/
IMPORTANT DATES
• Submission deadline: 22nd February 2024
• Notification deadline: 29th February 2024
• Camera Ready: 3rd April 2024
• Workshop: 10th April 2024
SCOPE
This workshop brings together researchers, designers, developers, practitioners, and educators who are interested in the concept, development, evaluation, and impact of algorithmic behavior change support. The term "algorithm" or "algorithmic approach" is thereby meant broadly to capture any computerized procedure for adapting behavior change support. Thus, while the Persuasive Technology conference considers all forms of technology, the focus of this workshop is on algorithms (e.g., based on logistic regression, reinforcement learning, recommender systems) that support behavior change. We are thereby interested in algorithms at both the macro level (i.e., which are part of behavior change applications) and the micro level (i.e., which support forms of behavior change as part of a technology that has a goal other than behavior change). We explicitly invite participants from various backgrounds such as artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, psychology, medical practice, and ethics of technology to contribute their perspectives and experiences.
The broader objective of this workshop is to strengthen the community of people working on adaptive support for behavior change. To this end, the workshop aims to create a lively exchange of ideas that benefits both the current and future research of the individual workshop participants. Specifically, the workshop's aim is to a) learn about each other's work, b) jointly work on problems of the workshop participants, and c) establish a vision for future work on algorithmic behavior change support.
TOPICS
Below is a non-exhaustive list of possible topics in the context of algorithms for adaptive behavior change support:
• Methods and guidelines that can be used when designing algorithms (e.g., accounting for ethical and societal values, augmented or hybrid intelligence)
• Novel algorithms
• Application of algorithms in behavior change contexts (e.g., education, health, sustainability)
• FAIR implementation of algorithms
• Evaluation methods for algorithms (e.g., micro-randomized trials)
• Effectiveness of (components of) algorithms in simulated, experimental, or in-the-wild settings
If you are unsure whether your topic fits the scope of the workshop, please do not hesitate to ask us.
SUBMISSION
Submissions to this workshop are in the form of papers describing both the authors' work and a problem that they would like to work on together with the other workshop participants. Working with other workshop participants on one's own problem is a unique opportunity to get input from a large number of experts. Examples include:
• Questionnaire creation: creating question formulations in small groups, discussing if questions measure intended constructs
• Study design: getting feedback on one's draft experimental design for evaluating an algorithm
• Instructions for study: letting workshop participants follow an initial instruction set to see where they get stuck, which things are unclear, or which results they would get
• Applying design guidelines: after having developed design guidelines, asking workshop participants how they would apply the guidelines to their own research or how they (dis)agree with the guidelines
• Algorithm design: based on an initial algorithm idea, asking workshop participants for important concepts or guidelines to account for when further developing or implementing the algorithm
• Confirming guidelines for algorithm design: based on an initial set of guidelines one wants to use for one's algorithm design, asking workshop participants how they (dis)agree with these guidelines to establish community agreement
• Establishing codes for a thematic analysis: based on free-text responses providing feedback on an algorithm used in a previous study, asking workshop participants to in small groups come up with codes describing the concerns of study participants
• Establishing themes for a thematic analysis: based on codes describing the concerns of study participants about an algorithm, asking workshop participants to discuss possible themes
The authors should clearly describe how they think that working on their problem with the workshop participants could benefit their work.
Upon acceptance, at least 1 author should attend the workshop in person and be ready to 1) present their work in a short 7-10 minute presentation and 2) work on their problem with the workshop participants for about 30 minutes. On rejection, you are also welcome to still join our workshop. To attend the workshop, participants must be registered for the workshops/tutorials at Persuasive Technology 2024.
All submissions should adhere to either the CEUR Workshop Proceedings guidelines or the Springer LNCS guidelines. Papers describing the authors' work should be written in English and have either 2-6 (short paper) or 7-12 pages (long paper), excluding references. Workshop proceedings will be published in CEUR under Creative Commons License Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). This means that the final accepted papers will be published in the CEUR format. In addition to the papers describing the authors' work, the submission should include in an appendix the description of the problem the authors would like to work on together with workshop participants. This description does not count toward the page limit and will not be published.
You can submit through easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=albecs2024.
