Symbiotic Interactions between Users and Intelligent Systems Papers are due: June 1 Computers are moving off of the desktop and into real-world tasks. They emerge in robots, in health care, in smart classrooms and meeting rooms to name several instances. Users of these computer systems need to move from the traditional master-slave relationship between users and computers to relationship where the partners understand each others goals and intentions as well as capabilities and constraints and are able to work cooperatively to accomplish tasks. We solicit topics in: - interaction with adjustable autonomous systems - research in augmenting human cognition, including assessment of cognitive state - architectures to support symbiotic interaction - case studies of user interfaces/interactions with intelligent systems - metrics and methodologies for evaluation of symbiotic interactions - development of models of computers for users and development of models of users for computers - social impact, including issues of trust and privacy and monitoring cognitive status - acquisition and utilization of context For more information: http://zing.ncsl.nist.gov/hicss_symb Jean Scholtz (Primary Contact) National Institute of Standards and Technology 100 Bureau Drive, MS 8940 Gaithersburg, MD 20899 301-975-2520 Fax: 301-975-5287 [log in to unmask] Martha Crosby Department of Information and Computer Sciences University of Hawaii 1680 East West Center Road Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-3493 [log in to unmask]
