We are delighted to be taking up this shared role, and look forward to working with you to make the SIG-SI active and to have a strong presence at the ASIS&T 2017 Annual Meeting in Washington DC in late October. Even though this year's annual meeting is back in the United States, we hope to build on the success of last year's meeting in Copenhagen to engage with more European colleagues in addition to those around the world. As American immigrants to Europe (Kalpana moved to UC Dublin in 2011 and Eric to Oxford in 2007), we look forward to engaging with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, and also across the globe. Social Informatics as a term has waxed and waned over the years as it has been applied, re-defined, and re-purposed by a variety of audiences. Nevertheless, it is clear that the central questions of how people relate to the technologies they use is more important today than it has ever been. Debates over the balance between freedom and control on the Internet and via our devices are in the news regularly. There is heightened interest in automation and what it will mean for the future of work. Again and again, technology is being offered up as both a source and a solution of a myriad of societal problems. We look forward to working with SIG-SI to encourage research, publication, and engagement on these issues that ask us to understand social processes and the technologies that are shaping and being shaped by them.

ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. The conference brings together people from academia, industry and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. The conference venue is the well known 5* beach hotel St. Raphael Resort, situated on one of the largest Blue Flag accredited beaches, only a short coastal drive from the lively centre of town, approximately 10 minutes away (http://www.raphael.com.cy). The Larnaca International Airport is 35 minutes away, and Paphos International Airport is 55 minutes away. There are shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance and a bus stop exactly outside the hotel. The conference organizers have secured very competitive rates for accommodation, both at the venue hotel as well as a number of other hotels at close distance (http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YXNpcy5vcmcgLAkJCXNpZ3Rpcy1sQGFzaXMub3JnCTIybmQgQUNNIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBJbnRlbGxpZ2VudCBVc2VyIEludGVyZmFjZXMgKElVSSAyMDE3KTogQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFydGljaXBhdGlvbgkzNglMaXN0cwkxODYJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fiui.acm.org%2F2017/accommodation.html). In addition, the conference organization offers airport transfers to and from the hotels at very reasonable prices. This year IUI attracted an overwhelming number of submissions for all types of contributions (papers, posters, demos, etc.). The list of accepted contributions can be found here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YXNpcy5vcmcgLAkJCXNpZ3Rpcy1sQGFzaXMub3JnCTIybmQgQUNNIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBJbnRlbGxpZ2VudCBVc2VyIEludGVyZmFjZXMgKElVSSAyMDE3KTogQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFydGljaXBhdGlvbgkzNglMaXN0cwkxODYJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fiui.acm.org%2F2017/accepted.html . The program will consist of paper presentations, posters and demos sessions, a Student Consortium and several workshops and tutorials. This exciting program will be further enhanced with 3 keynotes by the Distinguisheed ACM Speaker Panos Markopoulos (Eindhoven University of Technology), George Samaras (University of Cyprus) and Shumin Zhai (Google). The technical program will be complemented with a rich social program, including a welcome reception and a conference dinner at a local traditional Greek taverna with live entertainment. We cordially invite you to attend IUI 2017 and the co-located workshops and tutorials.
