TVX 18

AI/Big Data and Social Computing. The call for papers attracted 36 long and short paper submissions from Asia, Europe, North &, South America across both academia and industry. Being the first edition in Asia, it received new submissions from China, Japan, and Korea which were less visible in the conference series until now. All submissions went through a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Each paper was assigned a primary Associate Chair (AC) and a secondary AC. The primary AC recruited at least two reviewers for each of their assigned paper, whilst the secondary AC recruited at least one reviewer for their assigned paper. Once the reviewers submitted their evaluation of the suitability of the paper, the primary AC wrote a meta-review summarizing the main points of each review. Authors of the submissions were then notified of the completed review and given the chance to respond to the reviewers', comments during a rebuttal phase. During the TPC meeting on March 16, 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal, each paper was discussed in-depth with the ACs, and the final decision on the accepted papers was made, resulting in a high-quality program of 12 accepted full and short papers, accounting for an acceptance rate of 33%. Full papers, Short papers, the abstracts of the 2 Workshops co-located with TVX (in addition to an industry workshop close to the public), and the 17 Work In Progress papers are part of the main proceedings and will be included in the ACM Digital Library. In addition to these submissions, there were several other tracks that attracted a considerable number of contributions, resulting in 8 TVX in Industry presentations, 8 Demonstrations, 3 Doctoral Consortium papers, and 2 Grand Challenge presentations, all made available in the adjunct proceedings, along with the papers from the Workshops.
