Poster Submission: Human-Work Interaction Design Conference 2018

30 Apr 2018 (All Day)

Registration for this event has passed

This year’s theme is Designing Engaging Automation. While we do not exclude other aspects of work analysis and designing interactions for work contexts, we encourage authors to share especially their research on human aspects in workplace automation in the 2018 edition of HWID conference.

Interaction design for work engagement has lately started to gather more attention, especially in designing tools for employees. Work engagement takes usability of interactive systems to the next level by providing employees pleasurable and meaningful experiences via the tools used at work. The theme of HWID’18 emphasizes the need for providing these experiences also when parts of the work are automated.

Examples of relevant questions include:

  • Is automation making work less interesting or more engaging?
  • How to improve work engagement by automation?
  • How to share work optimally between humans and automation?
  • How to maintain operator vigilance in highly automated environments?
  • How to support situation and/or automation awareness?
  • How to evaluate the impact of automation on work engagement?

This working conference aims to answer these questions to support professionals, academia, national labs, and industry engaged in human work analysis and interaction design for the workplace. We will discuss the tools, procedures, and professional competences needed for designing for and evaluating engaging automation in workplace contexts.

We invite two types of submissions:

  1. Full papers (max 15 pages, excluding references) due by April 2nd &
  2. Poster submissions (max 4 pages, excluding references) due by April 30th.

For both types of submissions, the authors must use the LNCS templates available from Springer. Please submit your work in PDF format to EasyChair.

All accepted papers will be published in the working conference proceedings in the form of an electronic copy with ISBN and made available to the participants. During the review process, the reviewers are asked to evaluate whether the paper is suitable for a HWID’s Springer book (Springer-Verlag) that will be made available after the conference. We aim at most accepted full research papers to be included here, but also the possibility to have a very interesting perspective from industry or similar represented.
