Computing is at one of its most exciting
moments in history, playing an essential role in supporting many important
human activities. However, the methodologies used by computer scientists, and
the systems developed, often ignore human issues related to the use of the
technology, such as the social and cultural context in which computing systems
are deployed. Furthermore, the explosion in the availability of information in
various forms (text, image, audio, video, etc.) and the availability of sensors
(motion, heat, etc.) means on one hand that the amount of data we can collect
will continue to increase dramatically, and on the other hand that we need to
develop new models to search, organize, and integrate such data for human use,
during interaction (to make computers more accessible and to develop novel
applications) and for knowledge gathering and communication.
This
issue of IEEE Computer will be devoted to Human-centered Computing. We are soliciting
submissions that introduce key concepts, discuss theoretical frameworks and
technical approaches, challenges, research opportunities, and open issues in
areas of interest in human-centered computing, including the following areas:
(1) multimodal
interaction: visual (body, gaze, gesture) and audio (emotion) analysis;
(2) image
databases, indexing, and retrieval: human-centered content and context
modeling;
(3) experiential,
affective, cultural, and social issues in computing;
(4) machine learning with a
human-in-the loop
(5) interactive
search and agent interfaces
(6) multimedia
collaboration and ubiquitous computing
(7) user,
context, and task modeling
Submissions should be limited to 6,000 words (8
pages) with pictures counting as 300 words. Author style guidelines can be
found at: http://www.computer.org/computer/contrib.html.
The manuscripts should be submitted via Manuscript Central at http://cs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.
