The premier conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems will have a distinct IU feel this year.
A contingent of faculty and students from the Human-Computer Interaction/design, Security, and Proactive Health Informatics programs at the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering had a total of 15 papers, journal articles, and proposals accepted by the prestigious Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM) CHI Conference 2018, which will be held in Montreal April 21-26.
“It’s a great honor to have so many members of the SICE family play such an active role at CHI 2018,” said Raj Acharya, dean of SICE. “With acceptance rates hovering around 20 percent among the thousands of submissions each year, it’s a sign of the high quality of work being conducted at our School that so many items have been accepted.”
One of the papers, “Bottom-up imaginaries: The cultural-technical practice of inventing regional advantage through IT R&D,” by Associate Professor of Informatics Shaowen Bardzell and Professor of Informatics Jeffrey Bardzell, earned honorable mention for Best Papers, placing it in the top five percent of all papers submitted.
Gabrielle Cantor, a sophomore in intelligent systems engineering, will be competing in the Student Research Competition with work she completed over the summer as part of a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates in the Proactive Health Informatics program. Her paper is titled “Designing Technological Interventions for Patients with Discordant Chronic Cormorbidities and Type-2 Diabetes.”
Another group of graduate students in HCI, Ruoxun Chen, Aditya More, Marshall Robbins, and Dou Tian, will take part in the Student Design Competition. Their project, "Small Donation -- Big Impact: Visualizing Charitable Donations," creates a charity box that allows donors to visualize the impact of their monetary donations through the use of a display that shows the amount of food that can be purchased for each dollar donated.
“CHI is the most prestigious conference in the field of HCI, and it is extraordinary that our school is so successful in getting papers accepted,” said Erik Stolterman, senior executive associate dean at SICE and a professor of human computer interaction. “It shows that our school is at the front line of research in the field and that we have internationally influential faculty.”
The ACM CHI conference is the world's premiere conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, presenting a highly selective showcase of the very best advances across the disciplines of computer science, cognitive psychology, design, social science, human factors, artificial intelligence, graphics, visualization, multi-media design and other disciplines.
