ENDING & Announcement of ECCE 2020

We are immensely pleased to confirm three world class keynote speakers for ECCE-2019 in Belfast:

John McCarthy

University College Cork

Nurturing belonging in design

Biography

John McCarthy is Professor of Applied Psychology at University College Cork, Ireland, where he leads the People and Technology Group (PAT). PAT is a collection of human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers engaged in experience-centred and participatory design of digital technology to understand and enhance people’s lived experience and to ensure their voices are heard in the design of things that matter to them.

John has worked in human-computer interaction research since the late 1980 and has authored over 100 publications including three books with Peter Wright on theoretical and methodological foundations of experience-centred HCI Design: Technology as Experience (MIT Press, 2004) and Experience-centred design (Morgan Claypool, 2010), and most recently, Taking [A]Part (MIT Press, 2014). The most recent reflects on some design projects that they were involved with, to think about the politics and aesthetics of taking part in HCI design projects. His current research projects are concerned with further developing understanding and practice of participation in HCI. These projects focus on:
(i) The potential to develop dementia friendly research communities to do experienced centred design of technologies and services with people with dementia and their carers in order to help understand and enhance their experience and wellbeing;
(ii) The emergence of digital communities and publics as expression of civic engagement in e.g. information, support and advocacy around dementia care and sustainable energy.

Nadia Berthouze

University College London

Look at my body ... what does it tell you?

In my talk I will highlight how we express affect through our bodies in everyday activities and how technology can be designed to read those expressions and even to modulate them. Among various applications, I will present our work on technology for chronic pain management and discuss how such technology can lead to more effective physical rehabilitation by integrating it in everyday activities and supporting people at both physical and affective levels. I will explore how full body technology can be enriched with affect awareness capabilities to facilitate learning in children. Finally, I will also discuss how this sensing technology enables us to go beyond simply measuring and reflecting on one’s behaviour by exploiting embodied bottom-up mechanisms that enhance the perception of one’s body and its capabilities.

Biography

Nadia Bianchi-Berthouze is a Full Professor in Affective Computing and Interaction at the University College London Interaction Centre (UCLIC). Her research focuses on designing technology that can sense the affective state of its users and use that information to tailor the interaction process. She has pioneered the field of Affective Computing by investigating how body movement and touch behaviour can be used as means to recognize and measure the quality of the user experience. She also studied how full-body technology and body sensory feedback can be used to modulate people’s perception of themselves and of their capabilities to improve self-efficacy and coping capabilities. Her work has been motivated by real-world applications such as physical rehabilitation (EPSRC Emo&Pain, H2020 EnTimeMent), textile design (EPSRC Digital Sensoria), education (H2020 WeDraw) and wellbeing on the industrial workfloor (H2020 Human Manufacturing). She has published more than 200 papers in Affective Computing, HCI, and Pattern Recognition.

Alan Dix

Computational Foundry, Swansea University

Cognition as Material: personality prostheses and other stories

The golden rule of design is 'understand your materials'.  For human activities and human science those materials include the physical and mental abilities of people and their individual personalities and cognitive styles.  Within our own academic or design endeavours those people may be the subject of our studies, but also include ourselves.  If we wish to design for people we need to understand them, and if we wish to do this effectively, we need to understand ourselves.  In this talk I will analyse examples of processes and tools based on such understanding including some that foster technical creativity, even amongst those who would not consider themselves creative, and some that help in the difficult process of academic writing.  Crucially, I will discuss personality prosthesis: taking seriously our differences in personality and seeing how each individual can surround themselves with structures and scaffolding that enables them to achieve their goals given who they are.  For this I will also draw on lessons from my own thousand-mile walk around Wales in 2013.

Biography

Alan Dix is Director of the Computational Foundry at Swansea University.  Previously he has spent 10 years in a mix of academic and commercial roles. He has worked in human–computer interaction research since the mid 1980s, and is the author of one of the major international textbooks on HCI as well as of over 450 research publications from formal methods to design creativity, including some of the earliest papers in the HCI literature on topics such as privacy, mobile interaction, and gender and ethnic bias in intelligent algorithms.   Issues of space and time in user interaction have been a long term interest, from his “Myth of the Infinitely Fast Machine” in 1987, to his co-authored book, TouchIT, on physicality in a digital age, due to be published in 2019.  For ten years Alan lived on Tiree, a small Scottish island, where he engaged in a number of community research projects relating to heritage, communications, energy use and open data and organised a twice-yearly event Tiree Tech Wave that has now become peripatetic. 
In 2013, Alan walked the complete periphery of Wales, over a thousand miles.  This was a personal journey, but also a research expedition, exploring the technology needs of the walker and the people along the way.   The data from this including 19,000 images, about 150,000 words of geo-tagged text, and many gigabytes of bio-data is available in the public domain as an ‘open science’ resource.  Some of the lessons from this as well as twenty years research into creativity techniques will inform this ECCE keynote.
Alan’s role at the Computational Foundry has brought him back to his homeland.  The Computational Foundry is a 30 million pound initiative to boost computational research in Wales with a strong focus on creating social and economic benefit.  Digital technology is at a bifurcation point when it could simply reinforce existing structures of industry, government and health, or could allow us to radically reimagine and transform society.  The Foundry is built on the belief that addressing human needs and human values requires and inspires the deepest forms of fundamental science.

Doctoral Consortium

Applications Deadline Passed

PhDs students are invited to apply for the ECCE 2019 Doctoral Consortium, which will be held on Tuesday 10 September 2019. The Doctoral Consortium provides a great opportunity for PhD students to discuss and share experiences and problems with other students and with a panel of experts. It is likely to lead to the generation of new ideas and directions for their research.

The ECCE 2019 Doctoral Consortium has the following objectives:

• To provide PhD students with the opportunity to share their research with other students and experts;
• To give feedback on the research to the participants;
• To give the opportunity to solve issues that PhD students could encounter during their path;
• To encourage open and useful discussions; and
• To provide insights that will help students for the continuation of their research.

The Doctoral Consortium will be held on 10th of September at Ulster University’s Belfast Campus in the heart of Belfast city centre. We expect to recruit 10 to 15 students.

Experts

Two leading experts will mentor PhD research students at the Doctoral Consortium. Professor John McCarthy, University College Cork and Dr Julie Doyle, Dundalk Institute of Technology are experts in experience design and interaction design, respectively.

Eligibility
The strongest candidates are PhD students in Human Factors or Ergonomics (or related areas) who can convey their research aims and/or challenges. There are no restrictions on the year of study of the PhD, but preference will be given to students in the early stages due to the opportunity for influence and potential benefits from the feedback of the Doctoral Consortium.

Submission
Submissions should be sent to the Doctoral Consortium Chairs, Ana Caraban (ana.caraban [at] m-iti.org) and Sara Tranquada (sara.tranquada [at] m-iti.org).
