About the Research Topic:
Human beings are interactive and socially engaged, as they often gather and communicate in either dyads or groups. During such interactions, each communication partner is providing a variety of information, including general information/content, as well as personal and relational information. These communication aspects and information are truly on display in group interactions or multi-party interactions.

Reinforcement Learning for Humans, Computer, and Interaction: An Online Workshop at ACM CHI 2021
In computer science, reinforcement learning (RL) is the problem faced by an agent that must learn how to act in a sequential decision environment. Recently, RL algorithms have emerged as a key technology for a range of purposes including modeling people and machine intelligence. However, if RL is to have a meaningful impact in human-computer interaction then it is critical that these two threads are integrated. This is required for genuinely interactive RL-based systems which take into account user capacities and preferences. Interactive RL systems will

*Empowering Sustainable Energy Infrastructures via AI-assisted Wireless Communications* IEEE Wireless Communications https://www.comsoc.org/publications/magazines/ieee-wireless-communications/cfp/empowering-sustainable-energy
Global energy demands will no longer be met using conventional energy infrastructures, and hence can only be achieved through sustainable renewable energy systems that are supported by cyber-physical technologies. The shift from conventional energy sources towards sustainability is clear, leading to the emergence of prosumers (i.e. producers and consumers) which are capable of both generating and consuming energy. Today, many buildings are now equipped with solar panels that can contribute to the overall energy needs. Power systems need to adopt renewable energy to provide more

Subject: Cycling@CHI Workshop Call for Participation Bicycles are becoming an increasingly important means of transport in many cities as they complement or replace the car or public transport. Besides increasing numbers of cyclists, we see new forms of transportation (e.g., e-scooters) sharing not only interaction-related aspects with them but also the bike lane. As this development continues, safe mobile interaction on the ride through suitable and effective user interfaces is needed. In the past, researchers have proposed a variety of novel interaction methods. Many of which have not made it into consumer products yet. One reason is the difficulty of

Announcing a call for papers for our special topic issue, Novelty Effects in Human-Robot Interaction, in Frontiers in Robotics and AI:
Research on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has long acknowledged the existence of the novelty effect, positive and robust interactions due to the newness and uniqueness of engaging with a robotic interactor. As most participants in HRI research have little experience with robots or robotic behaviors, the novelty effect of that interaction will impact the other basic and complex effects of the robotic behaviors and qualities that HRI researchers examine. Thus, it is likely that any measured outcome of a human-robot

Reinforcement Learning for Humans, Computer, and Interaction: An Online Workshop at ACM CHI 2021
In computer science, reinforcement learning (RL) is the problem faced by an agent that must learn how to act in a sequential decision environment. Recently, RL algorithms have emerged as a key technology for a range of purposes including modeling people and machine intelligence. However, if RL is to have a meaningful impact in human-computer interaction then it is critical that these two threads are integrated. This is required for genuinely interactive RL-based systems which take into account user capacities and preferences. Interactive RL systems will

Although the technology has been around for a while, it still does not present interfaces that are easy to use and understand. This workshop aims at bringing HCI and KG communities together to discuss how HCI methods could help identify and overcome the issues that keep Knowledge Graphs from better user interfaces.

End-user development (EUD) aims at empowering end users to develop and adapt systems at a level of complexity that is adequate to their expertise, practices, and skills. EUD may occur along the entire software lifecycle, with the purpose of making users able to participate in their artifact development, not only at design time, but also during actual use.
As some of you may be already aware, there is an open special issue with the central theme "Eye tracking in Cartography" with the ISPRS IJGI. Our ISPRS working group Geovisualization, Augmented and Virtual Reality is supporting this effort. I copy the call below for your consideration.
We are fully aware that there may be little 'new eye movement data' due to pandemic, but we also know from experience that there are usually quite a bit of not-yet-analyzed eye movement data in your drives. If your eye tracking study involves spatial topics (maps, map-like displays),
The 18th International Conference on Cooperative Design, Visualization and engineering will be held in Bangkok on Oct. 24-27, 2021 (hopefully not virtual). You are welcome to submit abstracts by Feb. 15, 2021 which is coming soon. The submission of abstracts is highly recommended even it will not decide if your paper will be accepted. This is a step to raise the paper quality. We will give you feedback for your paper writing. Please refer to our web page www.cdve.org of how to submit the abstract to Easychair system, topics under call etc. Other deadlines are:

2020 needed us to work from home but through the challenge, we learn. When testing and exploring technology or its designs, when we do user research, we very often need to meet people... this changed in 2020.
We invite you in this call to share your experience of this change: http://ixdea.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php?s=102&link=call48fs
*** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *** Building websites requires a very specific set of skills. Currently, the two main ways to achieve this is either by using a visual website builder or by programming. Both approaches have a steep learning curve. Enabling people to create websites by drawing them on a whiteboard or on a piece of paper would make the webpage building process more accessible.
The Robots for Learning workshop series aims at advancing the research topics related to the use of social robots in educational contexts. This year’s half-day workshop follows on previous events in Human-Robot Interaction conferences focusing on efforts to discuss potential benchmarks in design, methodology and evaluation of new robotics systems that help learners.
