Human-Centered
Computing (HCC)
lies at the crossroads of multiple disciplines and research areas that are
concerned both with understanding human beings and with the design of
computational methods. Researchers and designers of HCC methods and
systems include engineers, scholars in psychology, cognitive science,
sociology, and graphic designers, among others. Research in HCC deals with
understanding humans, both as individuals and in social groups, by
focusing on the ways that human beings adopt, adapt, and organize their
lives around computational technologies, and on how the development of
computational technologies can be informed by human aspects (culture,
social setting, human abilities, etc.). Human-Centered
Computing addresses problems that the field of Human Computer Interaction
(HCI) does not generally address.
In
HCC the focus is not only on interaction, but also on the design of
algorithms and systems with a human focus from start to finish.
This
year´s workshop builds on the discussions on the previous workshops on
this topic held with ACM Multimedia 2007 and 2006. SUBMIT YOUR PAPER VIA E-MAIL TO: [email protected] YOU SHOULD RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION WITHIN 24 HOURS Solicited
Contributions The
paper format page contains guidelines about page limits, font sizes, and
overall page layout. All submissions must be in the ACM style
sheet
format in English. Papers that do not adhere to the style sheet will be
rejected without review.
Proceedings
will be published in the ACM Digital library. In addition, we are
exploring possible post-workshops publication venues (e.g., a Journal
special issue). SUBMISSIONS
DUE: JULY 23, 2008 NOTIFICATION:
JULY 30, 2008 CAMERA-READY:
AUGUST 4, 2008 1. Research
work (8 page maximum) Research
contributions will be presented in poster format, but the proceedings
will not differentiate between poster and oral presentations.
Topics incluye, but are not limited to the
following: · Human-centered
applications in any area
· HCC
data analysis (e.g., exploratory data analysis, methods that consider
cultural and psychological aspects of data) · Machine
learning with a human-in-the loop · User,
context, and task modeling · Ubiquitous
computing · Human
interaction modeling · Social
network analysis and human behaviour analysis · Computing
for development · Ethnographic
praxis and user Studies · Description
of artworks or art-related projects Research
contributions must
explicitly
state, in the abstract and introduction why the work presented is relevant
to HCC. Papers that do not meet this requirement will not
be reviewed. 2.
Position statements and experience papers (8 page
maximum) These
works are presented in oral format (10 minutes), may be acompanied by a
poster, and may address any of the following non-exhaustive list of
topics: · Computing
perspectives from humanist fields · HCC
design methodologies · HCC
perspectives and lessons from the field of HCI · Research
methodologies that involve multiple disciplines · HCC
defiinitions (areas covered by HCC) · Sample
HCC Systems, methods, or approaches and comparisons to non-HCC
work · Core
techniques and methods in HCC · Theoretical
foundations of HCC · Cultural
and social issues in multimedia modeling · Ethnocomputing
& diversity in computing · Experiential
and affective issues aspects of computing · Sociential
aspects of computing · Privacy,
ethics and related aspects of computing Workshop
Format This
will be a hands-on
workshop with minimum
time for presentation and maximum time for interaction:
· Attendees
will be divided into small groups · A
particular scenario will be given, such as the one described in
Marc
Weisers pioneering article, “The Computer for the 21st Century”, available
at http://www.ubiq.com/hypertext/weiser/SciAmDraft3.html · Each
group will be given a task (e.g., model context, design a system, etc.)
and will be asked to identify the core HCC methods, techniques or
processes needed to realize the task · Groups
with similar tasks will compare notes and “defend” their findings in front
of the other groups · Accepted
articles will be used as a base to form the groups and guide the
discussions WORKSHOP
