Know Thyself: Monitoring and Reflecting on Facets of One's Life, A CHI 2010
Workshop
April 10, 2010, Atlanta, GA
Organizers:

Workshop website: http://www.personalinformatics.org/chi2010/
People strive to know themselves more by collecting information about their
behaviors,
habits, and thoughts. A growing class of applications called personal
informatics is
appearing that facilitates the collection of personal information and the
reflection on that
information. These systems satisfy people's innate curiosity about
themselves and
encourage holistic engagement with one's life.
This workshop will bring together researchers in a wide range of disciplines
to discuss
challenges and explore opportunities for human-computer interaction in the
growing field
of personal informatics. We will discuss technical and design issues related
to collecting
and reflecting on personal information. We will discuss the benefits of
reflecting on
information about different facets of one's life, such as increased self-
awareness, holistic
engagement with life, and achievement of life balance. Key research areas
include:
ubiquitous computing, life logging, visualizations, persuasive technologies,
interaction
design, psychology of self-knowledge and self-awareness.
We invite technologists, designers, and behavioral scientists working on
topics related to
personal informatics. Submit a position paper (2 to 4 pages) in the ACM
Extended
Abstracts format about your ongoing work, recent results, study methods,
or perspectives
on personal informatics. Papers will be peer-reviewed and 10-15 selected by
relevance
and likelihood of stimulating and contributing to this discussion. Email your
paper in PDF
format to [log in to unmask] with subject "CHI 2010 Workshop Submission" by
January 6,
