System-level interaction design for scientific discovery has been
gaining interest due to potential payoff in applications such as biomedical discovery, nano-materials and telecommunications. With
growing data streams and the complexity of discovery tasks, we see demand for integrating digital media and communications (Internet,
WiFi, SMS and Multimedia) and the opportunity for ambient interfaces using
interaction methods that are usually taken for granted such as perception,
insight and analogy.
Our goals are to help investigators and innovators "see the big pictures",
to make non-obvious connections, have data at the point-of-decision, and to
solve problems creatively. We also want to search for solutions to interesting questions
such as:
How do we significantly reduce information while maintaining meaning?
How to extract patterns from massive and growing data resources?
How to share scientific data without sacrificing privacy or research value?
How to design common information spaces for collaboration enabled by ambient interfaces?
The objective of this one-day workshop is to gather a small group of scientists and HCI professionals in one room and explore the future of
Ambient Intelligence for the new needs in scientific discovery. To maximize group interaction, we plan to allow 15 minutes for each oral
presentation, with time throughout the day for discussions, coffee breaks and a lunch. We plan to reserve discussion and brainstorming
sessions in the afternoon, followed by setting an action agenda at the close.
Topics of interest of the Workshop include, but not limited to:
-
ambient interfaces for information reduction
-
perception-based data mining
-
ambient problem solving environments
-
discovery languages
-
interactive visualization
-
discovery agents
-
data privacy in scientific discovery
-
scientific reasoning
-
multi-modal ambient collaboration
Submission:
You are invited to submit extended abstracts of 2 to 3 pages (Letter or A4 paper) which will be selected for oral presentations. Submitted
abstracts must be original, proposing significant contributions to Ambient Intelligence for Scientific Discovery. We are looking for
1) novelty, e.g. new interfaces, 2) paradigms or methods, e.g. perception,
heuristics in scientific discovery, and 3) real-world experience, e.g. case studies. Submitted abstract must be formatted
according to the style of CHI publications. See http://www.chi2004.org/res/CHI04PubsFormat.doc for formatting
information. All extended abstracts selected for this Workshop will be peer-reviewed and published online before the Workshop. A PDF version of
your extended abstract should be submitted using either the online interface at
http://flan.blm.cs.cmu.edu/amdi04/upload.html, or by email to Yang Cai
<ycai@cmu.edu> and Judith Klein-Seetharaman <judithks@cs.cmu.edu>.
After the Workshop, the program committee will invite participants to expand their extended abstracts to submit complete articles for
a planned proceedings.
