2nd International Workshop on
HUMAN-CENTRIC INTERFACES FOR AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE
(HCIAmI'11)
To be held during the 7th International Conference on Intelligent
Environments (IE'11)
Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom
26 July 2011
Following the success of HCIAmI'10 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2010),
HCIAmI'11 will provide a forum to explore the concepts and
applications of the multi-disciplinary area of human-centric
interfaces, modelling, and computing for Ambient Intelligence
application design.
It will enable the exchange of experiences from around the world
concerning the use of technologies which offer unobtrusive, intuitive,
or adaptive interfaces. These technologies have a major potential to
make systems easier to use for more people, freeing ordinary citizens
of the paradoxical chains that devices impose on them.
The goal is to replace the classical paradigm of Human-Computer
Interaction (HCI) in which users have to adapt themselves to computers
by learning how to use them, with a new one (where the same acronym
refers to Human-Centric Interfaces) in which computers adapt to users
and learn how to interact with them in the most natural way. This is
consistent with an increasing interest in human-centric computing,
which is reflected in publications across a variety of disciplines, as
well as in commercial products offering enriched user experiences in
leisure, safety and well-being.
Given the importance of human-centric computing in application design,
the workshop will provide a perspective to the research potentials in
applying technology to Ambient Intelligence, as well as call for
collaboration among researchers in the fields involved. New concepts
and methods based on vision processing, automatic speech recognition
and synthesis, dialogue management, handwriting, biometric
interpretation, and multi-modal data acquisition and processing will
be of particular interest.
All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the event,
which will be a volume in the Book Series on Ambient Intelligence and
Smart Environments: http://www.iospress.nl/loadtop/load.php?isbn=aise
