WORKSHOP THEME
In a very general sense, the concept of Ambient Intelligence implies
that some sort of intelligence surrounds us – somehow. But how does
Ambient Intelligence manifest itself? Where does it show up and how do
people notice and interact with it? Should it stay invisible or should
it form a perceptible digital layer augmenting the physical space?
While many of these almost philosophical questions are still actively
discussed in our research community, the integration of digital
technology into physical spaces is already happening and changes our
environment, both visually and functionally. This workshop addresses
the ongoing transformation and provides a platform for interested
researchers and practitioners to discuss the visual and perceptual
possibilities that arise from the use of Ambient Intelligence
technology in public and private spaces. The focus of the workshop
will be on the relevance of beauty and aesthetic values for Ambient
Intelligence and the meaning of aesthetically pleasing design for
usability, technology acceptance, and well-being in technology-
enhanced spaces.
***********************************************************************
WORKSHOP TOPICS
The workshop aims to bring together researchers from different
disciplines to discuss the interrelation of functional, architectural,
and aesthetic factors and their consequences for the design, use and
acceptance of Ambient Intelligence environments. Recommended topics
for position papers include, but are not limited to, the following:
Architecture
* Smart Buildings and Smart Spaces
* Intelligent Façades
* Human-Building Interaction
* Phenomenology
* Innovative Materials
* Urban Screens and Large Displays
* Novel Living Concepts
Design
* User Experience Design
* Participatory Design
* Emotional and Hedonic Design
* Interaction Design
* Multidisciplinary or Interdisciplinary Design
* Tools and Design Techniques for Smart Environments
Human-Computer Interaction
* Human Aspects of Future and Emerging Technologies
* User Diversity
* Human-Computer Interaction in Smart Environments
* User-Centered or Human-Centered Design
* Emotion and Affective User Interfaces
* Adaptive and Tangible User Interfaces for Smart Environments
***********************************************************************
SUBMISSION
Interested researchers are invited to submit a position paper (2-4
pages) formatted according to the Springer format via the workshop
submission website until July 25, 2011. The papers should focus on
current research activities and/or interesting aspects of future work.
All position papers will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their
novelty, originality, and relevance to the workshop theme. Authors of
accepted position papers will be notified until September 19, 2011.
Accepted workshop papers will be included in the adjunct conference
proceedings published by Springer.
