Objectives

The Eindhoven University of Technology wants to create a network between the faculties E, W&I and TM and the people presently working at IPO that will work on innovations in the area of User-System Interaction (USI). The Eindhoven University of Technology intends to achieve this by educating multi-disciplinairymultidisciplinary researchers, by strengthening USI research within the faculties, and by promoting the collaboration between these faculties and IPO.

As a contribution to this goal, IPO – Center for User-System Interaction organises a two-day symposium on User-System Interaction (SUSI). The aim of the symposium is to stimulate the exchange of research ideas in the USI area and to stimulate future collaboration. SUSI is intended to be a forum for informally presenting and discussing present and future research in the USI work area.

Topics
The symposium on User-System Interaction invites submissions on the full range of USI-related topics, either in the form of a presentation of a current USI-related project or as a proposal for future collaboration. Submissions may include, but are by no means limited to:

Visions of USI in the future.
Theoretical foundations of USI.
Technology for USI (e.g. virtual reality, speech recognition, handwriting recognition, agent technology, information retrieval, computer graphics and embedded systems).
USI design (e.g. requirements engineering, user modelling and evaluation methods).
USI domains (e.g. E-commerce, smart homes and offices, transportation and logistics, education and telephone information systems).
USI and society.
USI and users with special needs.
USI education.

Call for participation

Members of the scientific staff of the faculties E, W&I, and TM, and of IPO are invited to participate in SUSI. Participants can further contribute to SUSI by presenting a current USI-related project and/or a proposal for future collaboration. All submissions require a short written description of 2 pages maximum, covering for example: project title, authors, introduction (including: aim and relevance), background information, research questions, short project description, main activities. The proposals for future collaboration may also include a description of the expertise wanted.
