4th International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction - call for contributions
The 4th Symbiotic Workshop will be held in Berlin, Germany on the 7th and 8th of October 2015, hosted by Technische Universität Berlin.
Following 3 successful events (Padova, Italy 2012, London, UK 2013, Helsinki, Finland 2014 - preview proceedings here ) the workshop has managed to create and bring together an emergent and growing community investigating Symbiotic Interaction as a future paradigm.
The workshop presents an overview of the symbiotic relationships between humans and computers as well as novel advancements therein. There will be organized sessions and room for free discussions to shape the concepts, goals, and directions of this new field of research. The idea of symbiotic systems put forward in this workshop capitalises on the computers’ ability to implicitly (even subliminally) detect the users goals and psycho-physiological states and thereby enhancing human-computer interaction (HCI) without subducting control from the human. A special focus of this year’s Symbiotic Workshop will be on physiological computing approaches, e.g. using brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.
Call for Contributions include Research Papers (12 pages including references) or Posters and Demos (6 pages) investigating Symbiotic Interaction as a future paradigm with theories and conceptual frameworks, experimental paradigms and user studies, multi-modal data analysis and design driven research..Submission guidelines are available from www.symbiotic2015.org.
The proceedings (including research papers as well as short papers for posters and demos) will be published in LNCS Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Contributions can be submitted at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=symbiotic15.
