Workshop Theme and Goals
-------------------------------------
In the advancing ubiquitous computing, users are increasingly confronted
with a tremendous amount of information proactively provided via
notifications from versatile applications and services, through multiple
devices and screens in their environment. Thus, our human’s attention
have been getting a new significant bottleneck. Further, the latest
computing trends with emerging new devices including versatile IoT
devices, and contexts, such as smart cities, smart mobility including
vehicles, are even accelerating this situation. In such situations,
“attention management”, including attention representation, sensing,
prediction, analysis and adaptive behavior in the computer systems, are
obviously needed in our computing system. Following the successful
UbiTtention’16 and UbiTtention’17 workshops, the UbiTtention’18 workshop
brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry
to explore the management of human attention and smart and ambient
notifications with versatile devices and situations in order to overcome
information overload and overchoice. In this workshop, we want to focus
on a larger understanding of the different roles notifications can play
in a wide variety of computing environments including the office, the
home, in cars, and other smart environments.
The topics of interest include -but are not limited to- the following:
* Detection/prediction of users' status around attention and
notifications, such as availability, interruptibility, receptivity,
attentional status and cognitive load for interruption
* Exchanging, sharing, analysis and feedback on such capability above
(beyond detection and prediction)
* Understanding users' behavior and habits around notifications and
interruption, including longer term user engagement and behavior change
* Short-term / long-term engagement to the notification content and
corresponding services/applications
* Versatile types of information presentation methodologies including
ambient, peripheral, distributed and multi-modal presentation
* Infrastructures, frameworks and tools for the development of smart
attention systems
* Real-world implementation and deployment of attention-aware systems
(including but not limited to notification)
* Strategies for attention management against emerging computing with
IoT devices
* Use of ambient representations for big-data analysis
* Management of information overload in various emerging computing
venues such as smart city and smart mobility
* New emerging research area in attention-awareness,
human-cognition-awareness etc.
Submission details
------------------------
A paper should be anonymized and should have a length of maximum 6 pages
(including references) in the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts format. Each
submission will be reviewed by at least two workshop organizers.
Successful submissions will have the potential to raise discussion,
provide insights for other attendees, and illustrate open challenges and
potential solutions. All accepted publications will be published on the
workshop website and in the ACM Digital Library. At least one author of
each accepted paper needs to register for the conference and the
workshop itself. During the workshop, each paper will be presented
briefly by one of the authors. In addition, there will be room for
demonstrations as well as discussions.
Submissions shall be made via easychair:
