Human Interaction with Intelligent & Networked Systems
IUI 2009 Workshop, February 8th, 2009, Florida
Increasingly systems have the ability to undertake decisions and execute
actions without reference to people in either the choice of decision or
the course of action. Additionally such systems have the ability to work
both alongside and with people. However how these systems manage and
execute their work alongside people and with people and communicate and
interact with those people is a subject of current research concern.
Issues arise such as how do people who are in some sense part of a
system that includes "autonomous" components communicate, coordinate and
collaborate together to avoid conflict, failure or worse. Similarly,
issues concern the recognition and communication of intent, and
implication with respect to human-system interaction. Extending
considerations to system - system interaction when we create system that
must communicate, coordinate and collaborate with each other. These
systems have to be designed but their behaviours and ongoing
interactions are often not well understood and/or evolve as the systems
develop. Examples of these systems are developing in many areas
including health, agriculture, transport, energy and defence. The focus
of this research is to bring together researchers from different
disciplines who have interests in understanding, designing, deploying
and assessing the such systems from the perspective of their interaction
with people and how they communicate, coordinate and collaborate.
Drawing out such issues as awareness, understanding, sharing and joint
activity, and considering such aspects as intentions, states, goals, and
resources, through mechanisms such as negotiation, planning,
task-allocation and task sharing.
This is a timely workshop and IUI is the main area that offers the
chance for these different communities to come together to focus on the
nature and form of human interaction with complex, networked and
autonomous systems. (Note: because the boundaries between these systems
are blurred we are not wishing to exclude any and while there are
distinctions we do not want to use those to divide or exclude possible
attendees).
Objectives
To bring together a community of researchers and practitioners to develop
the research agenda needed to enhance human interaction with
increasingly powerful and independent intelligent systems e.g. sensors
networks, autonomous systems, agents and robotic systems.
This community will include but not be limited to those with interest in
decision-making, human computer interaction, collaborative work,
human-robot/agent interaction and sensor networks.
To define and harness the potential synergies between isolated
communities of interest such that they can collaborate to identify and
tackle the higher-level problems/research questions relating both to the
current generation of complex, powerful, independent, intelligent
systems and the next.
To identify specific opportunities for exchange between PIM researchers
and HCI researchers.
Potential Participants
The workshop will be of interest to researchers and practitioners from a
number of communities. In particular we welcome and will attract
attendees from different communities including those working in:
Human computer interaction,
Intelligent systems and decision making,
Sensors and networks
Human - Robot/Agent interaction
Collaborative systems.
