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

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
