Human-Computer Confluence Research Challenges
May 14-15, 2012, Vienna, Austria
MOTIVATION
HCI research over three decades has shaped a wide spanning research area
at the boundaries of computer science and behavioral science, with an
impressive outreach to how humankind is experiencing information and
communication technologies in literally every breath of an individuals
life.
The explosive growth of networks and communications, and at the same
time radical miniaturization of ICT electronics have reversed the
principles of human computer interaction. Up until now considered as the
interaction concerns when humans approach ICT systems, more recent
observations see systems approaching humans at the same time. Humans and
ICT Systems apparently approach each other confluently.
Human Computer Confluence has been mentioned to become a research
priority in "Horizon 2020" (2013-2020), the funding programme of the
European Commission that follows after the 7th Framework Programme (FP7,
2007-2013).
HC2 VISIONS is a research agenda solicitation action (FP7 FET Project
HC2) which may or may not be influential to the FET work programme
discussion on new directions in human computer confluence. The HC2
VISIONS workshop invites key experts to pose initial research challenge
statements articulated by the scientific community in a crowd sourced
solicitation attempt. The goals of the workshop are to shape research
challenge statements indicating (i) vision, (ii) research approach and
(iii) expected impact of prospective research issues by world leading
experts in the field. HC2 VISIONS is accompanied by a web-based
white-book initiative at www.pervasive.jku.at/hccvisions.
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
HC2 VISIONS is an open dialog and invites interested scientists,
researchers as well as industrial stakeholders to participate and
actively engage. If you want to present your idea in a 5 min position
statement in the HC2 VISIONS dialogue sessions, please send an approx.
400 word summary to [log in to unmask] by May 9, 2012.
A PDF Call for Participation is available online at:

WORKSHOP LOCATION
The workshop will be hosted by and is located at the head quarter of the
Austrian Computer Society OCG. The objective of the Austrian Computer
Society (OCG) is the comprehensive and interdisciplinary promotion of
information processing, with due regard to its effects on man and
society.
