IUI conference February 8th -- February 11th 2009
Multimodal interaction constitutes a key technology for intelligent
user interfaces (IUI). The possibility to control devices and
applications in a natural way enables an easier access to complex
functionality as well as infotainment contents. This kind of
interaction is particularly suited for use in automotive scenarios
where additional restrictions with respect to input and output
modalities have to be taken into account. In recent years, the
complexity of on-board and accessory devices, infotainment services,
and driver assistance systems in cars has experienced an enormous
increase. This development emphasizes the need for new concepts for
advanced human-machine interfaces that support the seamless,
intuitive and efficient use of this large variety of devices and
services.
This workshop is intended to gather novel, innovative interaction
concepts for automotive applications with the aim to foster
collaborations in the field and to establish a IUI-wide consciousness
for the specific user interface requirements in the area of car-
centered applications.
The topics include but are not restricted to:
* novel interfaces on any sort (e.g. see-trough displays)
* speech in the car
* tangible (haptic) interfaces, e.g. novel means of interaction
with switches, knobs, levers, etc
* multi-party interaction: there's more people in the car than
only the driver
* sensor networks (car2car, car2X) involving user interaction
(i.e. information-seeking dialogs)
* access to services
* referring to the outside world
* beyond directions
MIAA Career Day:
Bachelor and Master students are especially encouraged to submit
their theses or student research projects. A special concern of the
MIAA workshop is to serve as a career day. A limited number of travel
grants and reduced registration fees will be given to high-class
students contributing to the workshop. Also, representatives of the
automotive industry will be invited to the workshop. Opportunities
for Master and PHD programs will be presented and connections to
industrial employers will be arranged.
Mode of Presentations:
To emphasize the innovative character of the MIAA workshop, the mode
of presentation will be different. There will be one session with
brief oral presentations of the contributions. Afterwards, focus
groups will be formed to discuss individual topics of interest. The
topics will be selected and the participants will be assigned to
focus groups by the organizers beforehand. The pre-selection of
topics will be announced on this website. However, new topics can be
proposed during the workshop and everyone is free to join the focus
group that she or he is interested in. A designated part of workshop
will be used to discuss career opportunities.
