Grounded on principles of co-designing and user experience engagement in design, this one-day workshop will offer an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners aiming to actively engage in co-design of personas to explore the interplay of autonomous technologies with user experience and engagement.

Interaction designers, educators, policymakers, system, and automation designer or other related stakeholders are encouraged to participate and present their interest by submitting a position statement confirming background, research interest and future scenario of automation, highlighting opportunities and/or issues for UX and engagement in one domain, e.g. work, health, entertainment, learning, and where the co-creation and usage of personas, or their criticism, form the basis of their position statement.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• User Experience Design
• Human-centered computing
• Human-computer interaction (HCI)
• User studies
• Participatory design
• Socio-technical empirical studies
• Automation future scenarios
• Interaction Design
• Co-Design scenarios

Submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organisers according to their relevance to the problem and motivations to advance towards a more systemic socio-technical solution.
