HCII 2014 : Thematic Areas and Affiliated Conferences

• Human- Computer Interaction thematic area
This thematic area addresses advances in theoretical , methodological , technological and empirical aspects of Human Computer Interaction , treats including design knowledge and methods , interaction frameworks and models , novel interaction techniques , design and development tools , new application domains and user studies. HCI research is a highly multidisciplinary field at the cross -road of computer science , cognitive and social psychology , design , engineering and communication.

• Human Interface and the Management of Information thematic area
This thematic area addresses human interaction with information and knowledge in personal , organizational and social contexts . The overwhelming information abundance in contemporary human life makes it imperative to elaborate new and Effective forms of interaction to manage and present data in a user friendly and supportive way . Important aspects include information design , retrieval , presentation and visualization , support for learning , work , decision, collaboration , as well as service engineering and its application .

• 11th International Conference on Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics
The information processing and reasoning abilities of human beings undergo significant stress very Often When Interacting with complex and information rich computational systems, putting at serious risk task performance . Good system design to Promote Appropriate responses in all Situations, but Especially in an emergency , is vital . It is critical That human interactions are designed in Such a way as to maximally exploit human cognitive abilities in Such contexts , while at the same time Avoiding overload , stress and negative emotions .

• 8th International Conference on Universal Access in Human – Computer Interaction
This conference addresses all issues related to the attainment of universal access in the development of interactive software , as well as accessibility and high quality of interaction in the user interface development life-cycle , under a multidisciplinary perspective. It solicits papers reporting research results on the design , development , evaluation , use , and impact of user interfaces , as well as standardization , policy and other non – technological issues That Facilitate and Promote universal access.

• 6th International Conference on Virtual , Augmented and Mixed Reality
Virtual Reality ( VR ) Refers to computer- simulated environments can simulate That Physical Presence in the real and in imaginary worlds . Augmented Reality ( AR ) is a live , direct or indirect , view of a physical real -world environment Whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input . Mixed reality merging of Refers to the actual and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co -exist and interact in real time . Virtual , augmented and mixed worlds are becoming a significant part of interaction experience in everyday life , With important applications , amongst others , in health , learning, culture and entertainment .

• 6th International Conference on Cross -Cultural Design
The worldwide scope of the World Wide Web and the globalization of the IT market bring about the imperative need to design appealing interactive experiences for cultures and communities with very different Characteristics and requirements. The objective of this conference is to Provide an international forum for the Dissemination and exchange of knowledge on culture and linguistic diferencias , cross -cultural , international and comprehensive design methods and practices , and related case studies .

• 6th International Conference on Social Computing and Social Media
(formerly Online Communities and Social Computing)
The conference objective is to Provide an international forum for the Dissemination and exchange of scientific information on theoretical , generic , and applied issues of Social Computing and Social Media . Social activity is a vital aspect of human life . Social Computing and Social Media lie at the intersection of social behavior and computing systems, focusing on the use of technology to create social conventions and contexts .

• 8th International Conference on Augmented Cognition
Augmented Cognition is an emerging field of science That seeks to extend a user’s abilities via computational technologies Explicitly Which are designed to address bottlenecks , Limitations , and biases in cognition and to Improve decision making capabilities.
