Grand Challenges in Immersive Analytics

The definitive version will be published in CHI 2021, May 8–13, 2021, Yokohama, JapanInternational audienceImmersive Analytics is a quickly evolving field that unites several areas such as visualisation, immersive environments, and humancomputer interaction to support human data analysis with emerging technologies. This research has thrived over the past years with multiple workshops, seminars, and a growing body of publications, spanning several conferences. Given the rapid advancement of interaction technologies and novel application domains, this paper aims toward a broader research agenda to enable widespread adoption. We present 17 key research challenges developed over multiple sessions by a diverse group of 24 international experts, initiated from a virtual scientific workshop at ACM CHI 2020. These challenges aim to coordinate future work by providing a systematic roadmap of current directions and impending hurdles to facilitate productive and effective applications for Immersive Analytics

LANGUAGE CHOICE ON UNIVERSITY WEBSITES IN ARAB COUNTRIES

With the Internet unremittingly crossing boundaries, allowing more efficient communication and cooperation among people in different countries and cultures, the issue of common language is often brought into discussion. Currently English is considered the international lingua franca, but this mode of communication also allows other languages to have a strong presence on the web. The major study in this area was research conducted by Callahan and Herring (2012). This longitudinal study examined changes in language choices in 1140 universities in 57 countries over the period of 5 years. The study proposed a tri-level multiglossia model, where national language is the core language, English, as the lingua franca, the first additional language, and other smaller languages aiming at particular groups of potential customers or collaborators. This research attempts to follow up on the study by Callahan and Herring and explore the linguistic mosaic of university websites in Arab countries, attempting to answer questions about the level of multilingualism and the choice of primary and secondary languages, as well as how well the Arab countries follow the tri-level multiglossia model
