At the crossroad between interaction design, on the one hand, and animal behavioural and welfare science, on the other, the emerging discipline of ACI focuses on: • studying and theorizing the interaction between animals and technology in naturalistic settings • developing user-centered technology to improve animals’ welfare, support animals' activities and foster interspecies relationships • informing animal-centered approaches that enable animals to participate in the design process as stakeholders and contributors. This year's conference theme is connectedness & wellbeing. We invite ACI-related contributions from any relevant disciplines, but we particularly welcome contributions that focus on the connection between human and animal, or their (joint) well-being. These may include (but are not limited to): • support interspecies communication • improve humans’ understanding of other animals and their needs • enable humans to take better care of other animals • support animals in activities they do for humans • reduce interspecies conflicts and the impact of human activity on animals • foster ecologically and ethically sustainable forms of interspecies interaction and cohabitation. We invite the submission of: • long and short papers<https://sites.google.com/view/aci2018/authors/papers> (submission deadline 26th August 2018, midnight PST, notification 15th October 2018) • workshop proposals<https://sites.google.com/view/aci2018/authors/workshops> (submission deadline 26th August 2018, midnight PST, notification 15th September 2018) • doctoral consortium ap<https://sites.google.com/view/aci2018/authors/doctoral-consortium>plications<http://www.aci2017.org/consortium.php> (submission deadline 26th August 2018, midnight PST, notification 15th October 2018) • video posters and demos<https://sites.google.com/view/aci2018/authors/video-posters> (submission deadline 22nd October 2018, midnight PST, notification 15th November 2018 ) ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the SOCIOTECH-INTERACTIONDESIGN list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=SOCIOTECH-INTERACTIONDESIGN&A=1 ************************************************************************************ Distributed through Cyber-Society-Live [CSL]: CSL is a moderated discussion list made up of people who are interested in the interdisciplinary academic study of Cyber Society in all its manifestations.To join the list please visit: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/cyber-society-live.html *************************************************************************************
