------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS Workshop on Resilience, Reliability, Safety and Human Error in System Development (IFIP WG 13.5) in conjunction with INTERACT 2015 September 14th, 2015 Bamberg, Germany <http://tinyurl.com/INTERACT-WS-TC13-5> http://tinyurl.com/INTERACT-WS-TC13-5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic ===== While entertainment and “standard” work interactive systems have a strong focus on usability and user experience, in the area of safety-critical systems factors like safety, reliability, fault-tolerance or dependability are as important as usability and user experience, while usability problems are usually compensated by training. These two distinct views about interactive systems lead to two different communities using different approaches, development processes and methods. Contrary to the current perception that this distinction is important and should remain intact, we argue that methods, approaches, processes and solutions in one area can be fruitfully deployed in the other area. One precise example of such possible cross-fertilization is the design and development of user interfaces including autonomous behavior in safety-critical systems [1]. Solutions from video games can be used to solve some of the major problems when interacting with this type of autonomous behavior in a user interface of safety critical systems. Goal ==== The main goal of this workshop is to identify areas of meaningful integration between mass market products (consumer focus) and safety-critical systems, to investigate new solutions and to strengthen a community interested in this area. Participation ============= We invite participants from industry and academia. We expect participants from: • Mass market products design and development, user interface design and engineering • Safety-critical system design and development but also interested in new interaction techniques, designing for user experience and usability. • Academics and practitioners carrying out research around the notion of resilience and human error. • Students interested in mass market products (including video games) and/or safety-critical systems willing to learn more about the intersection of these domains. We particularly welcome participants with a familiarity with user interfaces dealing with autonomous objects and systems. Structure of the workshop ========================= Position papers will be made available on the webpage and circulated in advance of the workshop. From the set of contributions, a subset of selected case studies will be invited to be presented at the beginning of the workshop and will be used to support the discussion that follows. The morning session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and presenting case studies. Participants will be invited to comment on the case studies and to report similar experiences. The afternoon sessions will be dedicated to an interactive session, where participant will be invited to work by proposing solutions to the problems on the case studies seen in the morning. Solutions proposed by the participants will be compiled and compared. Based on the lessons learned, participants will be invited to draft an agenda of future work that can be accomplished. Submission ========== Types of contributions that participants may want to propose include (but are not limited to): • Problems contributions bringing case studies • Theoretical problems and solutions contributions bringing solutions already proven efficient in one of the domains considered The position papers (up to 6 pages) should be submitted via EasyChair ( <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hessd2015> https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hessd2015). The papers will be reviewed by the workshop organizers. Selection will be based on the quality of the paper, on answers to the list of issues, and on the extent (and diversity) of participants’ backgrounds. Important Dates ================ ** Submission deadline: June 2nd, 2015 ** Notification of acceptance: June 9th, 2015 ** Final papers due (camera ready deadline): June 15th, 2015 ** Workshop date: September 14th, 2015 Organizers ========== Chris Johnson (University of Glasgow) Mike Feary (NASA Ames Research Center) Célia Martinie (IRIT, University of Toulouse 3) Philippe Palanque (IRIT, University of Toulouse 3) Regina Peldszus (MECS, Leuphana University) Contact ======= More details to be found on the workshop website: <http://tinyurl.com/INTERACT-WS-TC13-5> http://tinyurl.com/INTERACT-WS-TC13-5
