Students present and discuss their research with other PhD students and a panel of established researchers. Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium proposers should submit a 2-page abstract (plus references) in Springer LNCS format but without the typical sections of a paper submission; it is important to describe the research questions, the project position with respect to the state of the art, the research plans and methodology, as well as the ideas and results achieved so far. Accepted abstracts will be included in the adjunct conference proceedings. DC papers and Demo Proposals are to be submitted by sending them to: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Symbiotic2017@gmail.com">Symbiotic2017@gmail.com</a> The International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction is a venue to present novel work in adaptive systems, physiological computing, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), collective systems, cyber-physical systems instantiating such kind of relationship, which - provokingly - we called 'symbiotic'. Research on non-human animal behavior would be off-topic in this workshop. This year the International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction will be held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, after successful editions in Padua, Helsinki, London and Berlin. It will take place on the Monday and Tuesday December 18 and 19, 2017 and will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Submissions of any category are welcome on the following topics (and more): REVIEWS ● Theories on symbiotic systems and interaction ● Design and evaluation approaches: relevant dimensions for designing usable and satisfactory symbiotic system ● Methods to decode psycho-physiological state from neural signals ● Data analysis techniques for revealing implicit information for brain signals ● Persuasion with symbiotic technology and implicit data USERS ’ PERSPECTIVE ● Acceptance, user experience and accessibility of symbiotic systems ● User's perception of adaptive systems and intelligent interfaces: trust, blame, performance, facilitation ● Ethical issues and responsibilities (control, profiling, agency, …) ● Security and data protection in symbiotic systems ● Transparent visualisation and feedback ● Attributions, expectations and practices in interacting with symbiotic and automatic devices ● User-based validations of symbiotic systems accuracy and effectiveness NEW, VALIDATED ALGORITHMS ● Context-aware and user-aware adaptive solutions ● Detecting and interpreting user’s affective states ● Modelling/profiling individual and collective states and preferences from usage behaviour ● Prediction of users' goals and information relevance ● Machine learning for symbiotic engines ● Physiological computing and cyber-physical systems ● Multimodal input for symbiotic systems APPLICATIONS USING IMPLICIT AND BEHAVIORAL DATA ● Recommender systems, advertising and persuasion ● (Neuro)adaptive devices and automatic systems in specific domains (cars, displays, security, manufacturing,…) ● Intelligent assistants ● Human resources tools ● Assistive technologies ● EEG-based communication tools <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Prof. Dr. Elisabeth André Chair, Full Professor Human-Centered Multimedia, Institut für Informatik Universität Augsburg, Universitätsstr. 6a, D-86159 Augsburg, Germany Phone: +49 821 598 2341, Fax: +49 821 598 2349 <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hcm-lab.de">http://hcm-lab.de</a> Member Leopoldina Member Academia Europaea Member AcademiaNet ECCAI Fellow </pre> </body> </html>
