HRI 201 (Osaka, Japan)

Robots are becoming part of people’s everyday social lives – and will increasingly become so. In future years, robots may become caretaking assistants for the elderly, or academic tutors for our children, or medical assistants, day care assistants, or psychological counsellors. Robots may become our co-workers in factories and offices, or maids in our homes. They may become our friends. As we move to create our future with robots, hard problems in human-robot interaction (HRI) exist, both technically and socially.

The 5th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction seeks to take up the grand technical and social challenges in the field – and speak to their integration. HRI is a single-track, highly selective annual conference that seeks to showcase the very best research in human-robot interaction with roots in robotics, psychology, cognitive science, HCI, human factors, artificial intelligence, organizational behavior, anthropology, and many other fields. We invite broad participation.

The topics for this conference include:

• Socially intelligent robots
• Personal and entertainment robots
• Long-term interaction
• Learning and adaptation with humans
• Non-verbal and Multi-modal interaction
• User studies of HRI
• Ethical issues and social responsibility
• Organizational/societal impact

TED 2010 (Long Beach, CA, USA)

TED 2010 will be the most ambitious yet, seeking out the voices, wherever they are in the world, best placed to help make sense of where we are and to point the way forward. Add extraordinary performances, wondrous art and immersive evening events, and you have a TED experience not to be missed.

So what does the world need? Stimulus? Recovery? Sure. But TED 2010 is digging deeper. Looking for the core ideas — and the core values — that will reinvigorate our quest for a better future, the 12 main sessions will be focused on one key attribute of what the world needs. Each session will continue to use TED’s special outside-the-box multi-disciplinary approach.

AUIC 2010 (Brisbane, Australia)

The Australasian User Interface Conference (AUIC) is the forum for user interface researchers and practitioners at the Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW 2010). AUIC provides an opportunity for workers in the areas of HCI, CSCW, and pervasive computing to meet with colleagues and with others in the broader computer science community.

AUIC invites participation and submissions from researchers and practitioners with an interest in techniques, tools, and technology for improving user interfaces over a wide range of areas, including the following:

• User interface architectures, tools, techniques, and technology
• Usability and evaluations
• Innovative applications and user interfaces, including VR, multimedia, and adaptive interfaces
• Distributed interfaces, including the World Wide Web
• Ambient and highly mobile devices (PDAs, wearable computers)
• CSCW, group work, groupware, and computer-mediated human communication
• HCI education

IUI 2010 (Hong Kong, China)

IUI 2010 is the annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and serves as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.

IUI is where the community of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We are also very interested in contributions from related fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, etc. Unlike traditional AI, our focus is not so much to make the computer smart all by itself, but to make the interaction between computers and people smarter. Unlike traditional HCI, we are more willing to consider solutions that involve large amounts of knowledge and emerging technologies such as natural language understanding, brain computer interfaces or gesture recognition.

Design 2010 (Dubrovnik, Croatia)

A precondition for international competitiveness is the companies’ capacity to develop products at optimum quality, cost and time. Market pressure forces companies to provide products of increased complexity matching individual desires. New customer demands and turbulent world of changes are continuously reshaping the product development process. How this influences engineering design methodologies and tools in practice? How to improve design projects and processes? How to improve the development of products and services? Which competencies, information and communication technologies are needed? What is the impact on the everyday design work? What social and legal issues should be considered? What are the new advances in design theory and research?

These are the key questions the DESIGN Conference focus on. The goal of the Conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners who have worked on or thought about engineering and industrial design from a variety of perspectives, disciplines, and fields: engineering, aesthetics, ergonomics, psychology, sociology, and the like. In attempt to answer the above questions participants from all over the world will present the newest research findings and share practical experience from industry.

See designconference.org for more information.
