WORKSHOP FOCUS

Since the start of 2020 there has been a huge shift to online living. Most meetings and workplaces are now organised virtually, and education is conducted via online classrooms. However, the impact of long term technology on cognitive abilities is yet to be fully understood. While this has been a concern before the pandemic (e.g. NICM Health Research Institute, Western Sydney University, 2019), the increase in screen time necessitated by the pandemic may have exacerbated the effects of technology on cognition. However, there are further concerns the pandemic itself is causing cognitive decline.… read more. “Call: ‘Digital Living and its Impact on Cognition- Healthy or Harmful?’ BHCI Workshop”

Abstracts are currently being accepted, due July 1, 2021

Dear all,

We are looking for abstracts (papers for peer reviews due in October) for the session Human-Systems Interaction at the IEEE Aerospace Conference in Big Sky, Montana. This session consistently draws a fascinating group of innovators in our field for stimulating discussions in an impressive setting.

TOPICS

Humans are the most critical element in system safety, reliability and performance. Their creativity, adaptability and problem-solving capabilities are key to resilient operations across the different aerospace applications. This session focuses on the technologies and techniques leading to effective interfaces between humans and spacecraft, robots, and other aerospace systems.

Specific topics of interest for this session include HCI-HMI, multimodal sensory integration such as vision, haptics and audio, situational awareness, tele-operation interfaces, data and scientific visualization, virtual and mixed reality environments, augmented reality and natural user interfaces as applied to design, production, operations, and analysis, as well as training and for decision support.… read more. “Call: Human-Systems Interaction session at 2022 IEEE Aerospace Conference”

Paper submission deadline: July 1, 2021

CONGRESS INTRODUCTION

Cyberspace, the seamless integration of physical, social, and mental spaces, is an integral part of our society, ranging from learning and entertainment to business and cultural activities, and so on. There are, however, in addition to its technical challenges, a number of pressing issues such as safety and trust associated with the cyberspace. For example, how do we strike a balance between the need for strong cybersecurity and preserving the privacy of ordinary citizens?

To address these challenges, there is a need to establish new science and research portfolios that incorporate cyber-physical, cyber-social, cyber-intelligent, and cyber-life technologies in a cohesive and efficient manner. This is the aim of the IEEE Cyber Science and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech).… read more. “Call: CyberSciTech 2021 – 6th IEEE Cyber Science and Technology Congress”
