First workshop on
DESIGNING FOR ATTENTION
Call for position papers
To be held at HCI 2004
The 18th British HCI Group Annual Conference
Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
6-10 September 2004
WORKSHOP SUBJECT
One challenge of human computer interaction research is the design of
systems capable of reasoning about users' attention and consequently decide
how to "disappear" or gain and guide user's attention. For this purpose
reactive, deliberative, social, and aesthetic processes controlling
attention should be taken into account.
This workshop aims at exploring these processes in order to establish the
basis for a theoretical framework that could inform the design of systems
capable of assessing user attention (e.g. through eye tracking), evaluating
the effectiveness of a current focus, and gaining, shifting, or maintaining
attention (e.g. through humour, surprise).
PARTICIPATION
Participation of researchers bringing views from fields such as computer
science, psychology, sociology, linguistics, and communication is
encouraged.
We would appreciate receiving expressions of interest with a tentative topic
/ title as soon as possible.
We will accept participants until Thursday August 12, 2004 on the basis of
the submission of a position paper (1 to 5 pages) outlining interests,
views, or research in attentional processes. Acceptance notifications will
be sent as we accept participants, at the latest Monday August 16.
