Human Computer Interaction
Track description
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary field of research that deals with the analysis and design of human interaction with information and communication technologies (ICT). The goal is to positively influence usability and user experience and thereby increase productivity, quality of life and the well-being of the users. With the rapidly developing potentials of interactive technologies, sensor technology, intelligent real-time data processing and the almost universal presence of IT in all areas of life, new challenges and opportunities arise for HCI research in the field of business informatics. The track "Human Computer Interaction" focuses on research that contributes to understanding and successfully designing the interaction of users* with digital artifacts. We are looking for contributions of any methodological orientation that make theoretically and practically relevant contributions to a better understanding and design of HCI of information systems. Examples are human interactions with intelligent technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, novel (multimodal) interface designs including concepts for wearables and augmented/virtual reality, current HCI practices for the investigation and design of specific interactive systems, the effective application of NeuroIS methods for a deeper understanding of user behavior, and the development of physio-adaptive systems. The track welcomes contributions that describe technically rigorous scientific advances in the field of HCI with clear references to business informatics.
Possible topics
● Methods, techniques and tools for usability and user experience engineering
● Novel (multimodal) interface designs including concepts for wearables and augmented/virtual reality
● Human interactions with intelligent technologies like artificial intelligence
● Use of NeuroIS methods such as electroencephalography, skin conductivity, heart rate variability or eye tracking to study user behavior
● Development of physio-adaptive systems
● Influence of interface design on posture, behavior, perception, well-being and productivity of users in different contexts
● Psychological, social, cultural and ethical aspects of HCI in the design of information systems
● Interface designs in visualization for understanding large amounts of data
● Investigation and design of specific interactive systems, such as assistance systems, conversational agents, persuasive systems, physio-adaptive systems or interactive business intelligence and analytics systems
● Participatory design and methods in HCI
