[iva] Final Call for Doctoral Consortium and Demo Proposals at Symbiotic in Eindhoven/NL

[Elisabeth Andre]

*The Sixth International Workshop on Symbiotic Interaction*
Eindhoven, The Netherlands
December 18-19, 2017

Submission Deadline (DC and demo proposals): October 31, 2017
Website: www.symbiotic-interaction.org/symbiotic2017

The *Doctoral Consortium (DC) *is a special session of the conference 
where a limited number of PhD students in the early phases of their 
research can receive advice in a constructive and informal atmosphere. 
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: 
Symbiotic2017 at gmail.com

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
