Workshop
Adaptation in Spatial Communication
http://www.geo.uzh.ch/~mtomko/Adaptation09/

to be held in conjunction with AGILE 2009, Hannover, Germany
on 2 June 2009

Automated assistance (e.g., car navigation systems and internet route 
planners) is an ever-growing market and the richness of available 
spatial data sets (commercial, governmental or volunteered) has 
increased dramatically. However, the identification and presentation of 
the relevant data to humans remains relatively crude, often based on 
ad-hoc observations and vague assumptions about the users' needs. 
Spatial communication is a type of pragmatic communication, taking a 
variety of forms–from verbal or pictorial descriptions and depictions to 
instructions for agents about actions required to interact with their 
environment. People adapt their communication in form and content to the 
situation and communication partner dynamically during communication by 
reacting to changing situations. Today’s spatial assistance systems lack 
this flexibility–a message is communicated without adaptation to the 
user’s needs. Consequently, such systems are experienced as awkward, 
cognitively inadequate or patronizing.

The workshop aims at issues and open questions in adaptation in human 
spatial communication and consequences and emerging principles for 
human–machine spatial communication. The workshop explicitly addresses 
all modalities of communication, namely verbal, graphical, by gestures, 
and any combination thereof. Any contribution in the research cycle from 
theory and fundamental empirical results to algorithmization and 
(prototypical) implementation to empirical evaluation is welcome, but 
the key interest is in exploring the avenues to improve automatic 
processes that implement adaptive behavior in assistance systems and 
services.

Accepted contributions will be published as a technical report of the 
SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition report series 
<http://www.sfbtr8.uni-bremen.de/reports.htm>. We also plan for a 
special issue in a journal with selected contributions.
