Accordingly, the journal welcomes manuscripts that address extant digital threats, rather than laboratory models of potential threats, and presents reproducible results pertaining to real-world threats. DTRAP invites researchers and practitioners to submit manuscripts that present scientific observations about the identification, prevention, mitigation, and elimination of digital threats in all areas, including computer hardware, software, networks, robots, industrial automation, firmware, digital devices, etc. For articles involving analysis, the journal requires the use of relevant data and the demonstration of the importance of the results. For articles involving the results of structured observation such as experimentation and case studies, the journal requires explicit inclusion of rigorous practices; for example, experiments should clearly describe why internal validity, external validity, containment, and transparency hold for the experiment described. Proceedings of the ACM on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques The proceedings of the ACM in Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (PACM CGIT) publishes original research of the highest quality dealing with all areas of computer graphics and interactive techniques including rendering, modeling, animation, and digital image processing as well as the visual computing and simulation elements of such disparate areas as computational fabrication, computational photography, physical modeling and control, user interfaces, video game techniques, and virtual and augmented reality. PACM CGIT broadly spans all of these areas as well as new areas that will develop under the wide umbrella of computer graphics and interactive techniques.

The major areas include the new forms of governance and citizen roles in the inter-connected digital environment, as well as the governance of new technologies, including governance of automation, sensor devices, robot behavior, artificial intelligence, and big data. Whether it is governing technology or technology for governing, the goal is to offer cutting-edge research and concepts designed to navigate and balance the competing demands of transparency and cybersecurity, innovation and accountability, and collaboration and privacy. It covers computational, technical, social scientific, behavioral, analytical, theoretical, and integrative approaches. Collective Intelligence Collective Intelligence is a transdisciplinary journal devoted to advancing the theoretical and empirical understanding of group performance in diverse systems, from adaptive matter to cellular and neural systems to animal societies to all types of human organizations to hybrid AI-human teams and nanobot swarms. The journal embraces a policy of creative rigor in the study of collective intelligence to facilitate discovery of principles that apply across scales and new ways of harnessing the collective to improve social, ecological and economic outcomes. In that spirit, the journal encourages a broad-minded approach to group performance, welcoming perspectives that emphasize traditional views of intelligence as well as optimality, satisficing, robustness, adaptability and wisdom. Collective Intelligence will support multiple formats for presenting results and ideas, including experiments and theory papers, essays and book reviews, as well as more speculative perspective pieces on new tools and concepts, case studies of practice and novel paper formats. Collective Intelligence will also experiment with nontraditional mechanisms for presenting and critiquing scientific knowledge and insights.

Formal Aspects of Computing Formal Aspects of Computing: Applicable Formal Methods (FAC) is a Gold Open Access journal publishing contributions at the junction of theory and practice. The objective is to disseminate applicable research. Thus, new theoretical contributions are welcome where they are motivated by potential application; applications of existing formalisms are of interest if they show something novel about the approach or application. The term "formal methods" has been applied to a range of notations, theories and tools. There is no doubt that some of these have already had a significant impact on practical applications of computing. Indeed, it is interesting to note that once something is adopted into practical use it is no longer thought of as a formal method. Apart from widely used notations such as those for syntax and state machines, there have been significant applications of specification notations, development methods and tools both for proving general results and for searching for specific conditions. However, the most profound and lasting influence of the formal approach is the way it has illuminated fundamental concepts like those of communication. In this spirit, the principal aim of FAC is to promote the growth of computing science, to show its relation to practice and to stimulate applications of apposite formalisms to practical problems. One significant challenge is to show how a range of formal models can be related to each other. Games: Research and Practice AACM Games: Research and Practice offers a lighthouse for games research ? a central reference point that defines the state of the art on games and playable media across academic research and industry practice.

This area raises novel challenges for improving traffic operations, road safety, sustainability, and efficient road traffic and vehicle management in passenger and goods delivery. Indeed, the lives of people who travel along roads on a regular basis are directly affected by traffic management and safety. Such problems require communication cooperation on the road, including car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure. Further, unmanned aerial systems are also of interest. Efficient control and management decisions for transportation systems require interdisciplinary research across areas in communications and networking, control systems, machine learning, traffic engineering and transportation systems.

Submitted articles must achieve a high standard of scholarship. Authors must ask themselves if their research is presented well and (1) advances understanding in the field of human-robot interaction, (2) adds state-of-the-art or general information to this field, or (3) challenges existing understandings in this area of research. THRI encourages submission of well-written papers from all fields, including robotics, computer science, engineering, design, and the behavioral and social sciences. Published scholarly papers can address topics including how people interact with robots and robotic technologies, how to improve these interactions and make new kinds of interaction possible, and the effects of such interactions on organizations or society. The editors are also interested in receiving proposals for special issues on particular technical problems or that leverage research in HRI to advance other areas such as social computing, consumer behavior, health, and education.

Such works may either be based on insights from related fields, e.g., marketing or psychology, or apply recommendation technology in novel application areas. ACM Transactions on Probabilistic Machine Learning ACM Transactions on Probabilistic Machine Learning harnesses probabilistic methods to address questions related to uncertainty quantification, predictive calibration, stability, and scalability, as well as learning in unsupervised settings from fewer or not fully structured data. The focus is on probabilistic methods that learn from data to improve performance on decision or prediction tasks. Optimization, decision-theoretic or information-theoretic methods are within the remit if they are underpinned by a probabilistic structure. Examples of probabilistic approaches relevant to the scope include Bayesian inference, variational inference, Monte Carlo sampling or Stein-based methods, and ensemble modelling. Examples of models for which probabilistic approaches are sought include neural networks, kernel-based models, graph-based models, reinforcement learning models, recommender systems, and linear models. Ethical considerations of probabilistic machine learning should be addressed in papers where there is a direct ethical connection or context for the work being described. The journal welcomes both theoretical and applied contributions. Purely theoretical contributions are of interest if they introduce novel methodology. Practitioner contributions are of interest provided that any proposed probabilistic approaches are empirically corroborated by non-trivial examples or applications. Multidisciplinary approaches with a probabilistic structure are within the scope. Online TOCL This new transactions is devoted to research concerned with all uses of logic in computer science.
