The 3rd International Workshop on Human-Agent Interaction Design and Models will be held in conjunction with AAMAS 2014 at Paris, France on 5th-9th May, 2014. This workshop aims to establish a forum for researchers to discuss common issues that arise in designing and modelling human-agent interaction in different domains. Read about it here!

SmartSociety is proud to have co-organised this event!

Building Sense in the Infosphere

P. Andreadis — Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:14:01 +0000

Abstract. The physical space is populated with sense, which is gathered, manipulated and reinvented during its interpretation. Here is proposed a provisional list on how sense imbricates places and some possible ways of making use of it for design purposes can be argued. Memory, emotions, reflexivity, sociality, and bewildering therefore become qualities that can be explored in the physical space from HCI.

Author Keywords: Sense making, physical space, spatial reasoning, memory, emotions, reflexivity, sociality, bewildering.

ACM Classification Keywords: Design, Human Factors, Theory.

First International Workshop on Multiagent Foundations of Social Computing, Call for Papers

P. Andreadis — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 12:15:41 +0000

May 5-9, 2014 @ Paris, France

Social computing broadly refers to computing-supported approaches that facilitate interactions among people and organizations. Social computing has emerged as an exciting multidisciplinary area of research, driven by the wealth of easily available information and the success of online social networks and social media. Social computing applications are characterized by high interactivity among users, user-generated content, and in cases such as Wikipedia, more open governance structures. Much of the recent excitement in social computing is driven by data analytics and business models. What is still lacking, however, is a deeper conceptual understanding of social computing — e.g., relating to its conceptual bases, information and abstractions, design principles, and platforms. This event invites papers that take an explicitly multiagent perspective in addressing these gaps and do so in thought-provoking ways.

The First International Workshop on Multiagent Foundations of Social Computing is Co-located with AAMAS 2014
