TOPIC AND AIM:

This day-long workshop will focus on collaboration with autonomous systems and in automated environments. Due to trends towards autonomous driving and smart industrial automation (e.g., Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems), people are more and more surrounded by (semi-) autonomous systems. The way people collaborate with each other in these automated environments or with autonomous systems and how they experience the interactions is of great interest for researchers and practitioners.

This workshop aims to address these challenges and ambiguities to initiate an in-depth discussion of present and future scenarios (e.g.,… read more. “Call: Contextual Collaboration: Where Automation and People Meet – COOP 2016 Workshop”

CHI PLAY 2016
The 3rd ACM SIGCHI Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play
Austin, Texas
October 16 – 19, 2016
http://chiplay.org
Twitter: #chiplay

Submission Deadlines:
April 18, 2016: Full papers
May 27, 2016: Workshop and course proposals, Student game competition
July 15, 2016: Doctoral consortium, industry case studies, and works-in-progress

CHI PLAY is an international and interdisciplinary conference (by ACM SIGCHI) for researchers and professionals across all areas of play, games and human-computer interaction (HCI). We call this area “player-computer interaction”.

The goal of the conference is to highlight and foster discussion of current high quality research in games and HCI as foundations for the future of digital play. To this end, the conference will feature streams that blend academic research and games with research papers, interactive demos, and industry case studies.

CHI PLAY grew out of the increasing work around games and play emerging from the ACM annual conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) as well as smaller conferences such as Fun and Games and Gamification.… read more. “Call: CHI PLAY 2016 – 3rd ACM SIGCHI Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play”
