Third Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Human-Machine Interaction 

AIxHMI 2024

https://aixhmi.unimib.it/

November 25 - 28, 2024

Bolzano, Italy

Co-located with the 23rd International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2024) 

https://aixia2024.events.unibz.it/

Overview

Artificial Intelligence has become a fundamental ally to improve the reliability, efficiency, and effectiveness of Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) systems. This is especially true considering the latest advancements of wearable and sensing technologies, which are accompanying us in every-day life, and are exploited in different applications spanning from continuous patient monitoring to immersive video-game experiences.

While these novel applications can positively impact a user’s life, work, education, health, and free-time, their development should be rigorous and consider a possible real-time configuration, the quality and quantity of available data, the portability of the employed technologies, the scalability of AI strategies, and the ethical and regulatory aspects concerning the use of personal data, just to name a few challenges.

The AIxHMI workshop aims to connect researchers and practitioners from different fields to collect multidisciplinary contributions on topics concerning HMI and especially on the influence that AI has in the interaction between humans and machines. Contributions coming from universities, research institutes, and industries are very welcomed and are not limited to technological advancements in terms of hardware and software, but can also provide discussions on cognitive aspects, ethical and juridical concerns, ergonomic issues and user experience in a variety of application fields.

The AIxHMI workshop welcomes submissions including, but not limited to:

• Affective computing
• Artificial intelligence 
• Brain-computer interfaces
• Control devices 
• Ergonomics
• Ethics in artificial intelligence
• Human-centered computing 
• Human-centered sensing 
• Human-machine interaction 
• Interfaces
• Multimodal machine learning (sensors, information, environment)
• Neuropsychology and neuroscience in the HMI field
• Regulations and juridical aspects in the HMI field
• Sensors
• User experience
• Virtual and augmented reality
• Wearable sensing

Paper Submission

Notice that AIxIA Workshops are activated only if at least 5 original contributions are submitted and accepted as short (6 pages plus max 2 pages for bibliography) or regular (12 pages plus max 2 pages for bibliography) papers.

Moreover, following the AIxIA Main Conference regulations, papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings only if at least one of the paper authors will register to the Main Conference.

The AIxHMI Workshop also invites submissions 

• of full papers
• of position papers (as short papers)
• on experimental protocols
• on ongoing research projects 
• on pilot studies

Papers with less than 25000 characters will be considered as short papers in the CEUR proceedings.

All papers will be peer-reviewed (single-blind) by the program committee members and their camera-ready versions will be included in the conference proceedings published on CEUR in the AI*IA Series (Scopus indexed).

The papers will be evaluated considering the relevance of their content to the workshop main topics (i.e., human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence), novelty, technical soundness, and quality of the presentation.

Manuscripts should be formatted using the 1-column CEUR-ART Style, which is available as:

• a volume template.
• an Overleaf template.
• a LaTeX and DOCX offline template.

Papers submission is electronic through EasyChair, at the link:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aixhmi2024

Important Dates

• Abstract submission deadline: September 7, 2024 → September 15, 2024.
• Paper submission deadline: September 14, 2024 → September 22, 2024.
• Notification of acceptance: October 6, 2024.
• Camera-ready and publication agreement submission: November 11, 2024.

Workshop day: between November 25 and 28, 2024.
