The ubiquitous technology explosion, and its natural extension as Ambient
Intelligence (AmI), will ensure that technology is embedded into human
society in deep and pervasive ways. As a result the parameters of
information exchange will be fundamentally changed. There will be very few
boundaries.This raises questions about how those boundaries may be created
and maintained. How will individuals in the Ambient Society manage their
information flows, in and out? How can they know whether to trust the
information that is given to them? What freedoms can they give their devices
to trust others, and how will they manage that process?
It also raises questions of interaction design to allow people to truly
understand and control their personal world, and it raises questions about
how trust itself works and can work in such a society.
This workshop will bring together theorists and practitioners in HCI, CSCW,
Ambient Intelligence, AI, agent based systems, and others to discuss one of
the most important topics of the first decade of this century - the
exploitation of trust. The result will be a roadmap of scenarios,
requirements, pitfalls,solutions and new applications of trust in AmI which
will facilitate the useand, vitally, an understanding of the behaviour of
this technology and a genuine feel for its potential.
Contributions should be in the CHI 2004 Extended Abstracts style, 2 to 4
pages long. Participants will be selected based on the quality and topic of
the submissions and their overall fit in the workshop as it develops. There
will be an opportunity for more wide-reaching publication.
