[Tccc] CFP - HCI for Safety Criticla Environments - HCI4SCE 2008
by Thomas Grill 16 May '08

16 May '08

CALL FOR PAPERS - HCI4SCE 2008 First International Workshop on Human Computer Interaction in Safety Critical Environments (HCI4SCE 2008) November 18-21, 2008 Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria http://usab-symposium.tugraz.at/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The First International Workshop on Human Computer Interaction in Safety Critical Environments (HCI4SCE) is held in conjunction with USAB 2008, November 18-21, 2008, in Graz, Austria. Human Computer Interaction is one of the emerging areas of research in the recent years. The role of the user when designing interfaces is regarded as more and more important and the focus is shifted from designing systems that simply work to systems users can interact with, without an extraordinary effort of learning a system. In security relevant areas like e.g. aviation, public transport and public safety, atomic power plants and control centers an error when using a system can cause damage to people and could be life-threatening. Here HCI is regarded as an important factor for designing and developing systems that are customized to fit the particular requirements of Safety Critical Environments. HCI4SCE was established to provide a forum to scientists, engineers and industry to address recent research results, to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences on all theoretical and practical issues and to elaborate about the research areas of HCI applied to Safety Critical Environments. TOPICS OF INTEREST The workshop program will include peer reviewed full papers around but not limited to the following topics: Safety Critical Environments and HCI - The role of the human in SCEs - Interaction within SCEs - Regarding Context in SCEs - Workflow-based design in SCEs HCI and Training in SCEs - Simulations- and Learning Games - Learning Environments - Training in Aviation + SCEs HCI Tools - Tools for Designing Interactive Systems - OpenSource Tools in SCEs - Prototyping in SCEs Designing Interfaces in SCEs - Augmented and Virtual Reality - Sensor-based context information - Designing interaction in SCEs IMPORTANT DATES July 7, 2008 Paper submission September 15, 2008 Camera-Ready Papers November 18-21,2008 Workshop HCI4SCE PUBLICATION All accepted conference papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in selected journals. SUBMISSION The HCI4SCE workshop solicits full and short research papers. For detailed information concerning the submission please visit the website of USAB 2008 (http://usab-symposium.tugraz.at/).
