Human–Computer Interaction & Usability for Elderly (HCI4AGING)
Special Thematic Session (STS)
in the context of ICCHP 2008, July, 9–11, 2008, University of Linz, Austria
http://www.icchp.org
Thursday, July, 10, 2008, TRACK III, Time Slot D 08:30-10:30 and Time Slot
13:30-15:30
Organized by:
Andreas HOLZINGER, Research Unit HCI4MED, Institute for Medical Informatics,
Statistics & Documentation, Medical University Graz, AT
Kizito Ssamula MUKASA, Department of Requirements and Usability Engineering, Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE, DE
Alexander K. NISCHELWITZER, Digital Technology Laboratory, University of Applied Sciences Graz, AT
General Theme:
Industrialized countries are faced with severe
demographical and social changes. Consequently, areas including Ambient Assisted
Living (AAL) are of increasing importance. The vision of AAL is to provide
technologies for supporting (elderly) people in their daily lives, allowing them
to stay longer within their own home aiming at living independent and
self-determined. User Interfaces in such systems are mostly multimodal, because
standard interfaces have limited accessibility. Multimodal user interfaces
combine various input and output modalities (including seeing/vision, hearing/audition,
haptic/tactile, taste/gustation, smell/olfaction etc) which are a classical
research area in human-computer interaction. One of the advantages of multiple
modalities is increased usability: the weaknesses of one modality are offset by
the strengths of another. For example, on a mobile device with a small visual
interface and keypad, a word may be quite difficult to read/type, however very
easy to say/listen. Such interfaces in combination with mobile technologies can
have tremendous implications for accessibility and can be a benefit for people.
An important issue is that all those interfaces must be accessible, useful and
usable. Traditionally, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) bridges Psychology and
Informatics, while Usability Engineering (UE) is anchored in software technology
and must guarantee a solid technological implementation, for example by
application of formal methods. Together, HCI&UE provide the emerging potential
to assist the daily workflows in the realm of AAL. To promote a closer
collaboration between Psychologists and Computer Scientists, we invite your
participation in this special thematic session.
Topics include, but are not limited
to:
+ Formal Methods and Methodologies (inclusive Agile Methods)
·+ Human Aspects of Future Technologies
·+ Ambient Assisted Living and Life Long Learning
·+ Mobile, Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing
·+ Adaptivity and Adaptation
·+ Multimodal Information Interfaces
·+ User Centered Design & Development
·+ Real-Life Usability Testing
·+ Cognitive Task Analysis
·+ Older Adults Acceptance of Computer Technology
·+ Innovative Mixed and Augmented Interfaces
