FIRST CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
ACI is the main international conference on Animal-Computer Interaction, a
rapidly growing field that focuses on the interaction between animals and
computing-enabled technology. At the crossroad between interaction design,
on the one hand, and animal behavioural and welfare science, on the other,
the emerging discipline of ACI focuses on:
- studying and theorizing the interaction between animals and technology
in naturalistic settings
- developing user-centered technology to improve animals’ welfare,
support animals' activities and foster interspecies relationships
- informing animal-centered approaches that enable animals to
participate in the design process as stakeholders and contributors.
This year's conference theme is *connectedness & wellbeing.* We invite
ACI-related contributions from any relevant disciplines, but we
particularly welcome contributions that focus on the connection between
human and animal, or their (joint) well-being. These may include (but are
not limited to):
- support interspecies communication
- improve humans’ understanding of other animals and their needs
- enable humans to take better care of other animals
- support animals in activities they do for humans
- reduce interspecies conflicts and the impact of human activity on
animals
- foster ecologically and ethically sustainable forms of interspecies
interaction and cohabitation.
