CALL FOR PAPERS
CCE 2021 is the 32nd annual conference of the European Association of Cognitive Ergonomics (EACE).
This leading conference in human-media interaction and cognitive ergonomics provides an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and practical experiences from a variety of domains.
The special theme for ECCE conference in 2021 is:
“Designing virtual and physical interactive systems”
Today’s technologies allow new interactive opportunities and access to digital media, services and smart products. These afford the creation of cooperative practices between agents distant in time and space and the development of tailored and ubiquitous services/systems closer to the people’s needs and expectations. This way they have a tremendous opportunity to foster inclusion and diversity and break down the boundaries between places and levels of participation. In these scenarios, cognitive processes are expressed, modified and developed in interactions with systems whose boundaries between virtuality and materiality are increasingly blurred.
The design of interactive systems that consider physical and virtual realities as well as exploration of mixed materiality calls for new methodological insights, ethical reflections, and sustainable practices opening unexplored perspectives.
ECCE 2021 seeks to encourage an interdisciplinary dialogue and discussion among participants related to general topics of cognitive ergonomics as well as this year’s special theme.
We invite various types of contributions from researchers and practitioners – including long and short papers – which address the broad spectrum of cognitive ergonomics challenges in the analysis, design, and evaluation of virtual and physical interactive systems.
The theme includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Affective/emotional aspects of human interaction with IT artefacts
- Cognitive processes in design
- Collaborative creativity and experience
- Collaboration in design teams
- Collaboration in end-users and design teams
- Decision aiding, information presentation and visualization
- Design methods, tools, and methodologies for designing physical and virtual interactive systems
- User experience design
- Ecological approaches to human cognition and human-technology interaction
- Human error and reliability
- Human Factors and simulation
- Human-technology interaction in the Internet of Things era
- Motivational/emotional aspects of human interaction with IT artefacts
- Motivation, engagement, goal sharing
- Innovative interactive paradigms with physical and virtual system (e.g. haptic, embodied interaction)
- Rapid prototyping and digital fabrication
- Resilience and diversity
- Trust and control in complex systems
- Situation awareness
- User research concepts, methods, and empirical studies
- Human Computer Interaction
- Virtual and augmented reality
- Conversational user interfaces
- Advanced user interfaces
- Cognitively-orientated human factors
- Ethical issues in AI and virtual environments
