This Workshop is a followup to an earlier NSF-sponsored Workshop on "Human-Centered Systems: Information, Interactivity, and Intelligence" held February 17-19, Arlington VA. The Final Report and other information of this earlier Workshop are available at the web site:
http://www.ifp.illinois.edu/nsfhcs/
In this earlier Workshop, a broad array of issues related to human-centered systems were discussed; these include: Date overload, collaboration and communication, human-centered design, and social informatics. The present Workshop will examine the issues related to human-centered systems from the perspective of National Challenge Problems. The solution of many national challenge problems requires intelligent information systems. It is imperative to ensure that these systems are human-centered: Technology should serve human, not human technology. To achieve this goal, interdisciplinary research is needed which would involve scientists/engineers from both the technology side (computer science and engineering, image processing and computer vision, computer graphics and visualization, speech and natural language understanding, etc.) and the human factors side (psychology, cognitive science, behavioral science, social science, etc.). It is the purpose of the present Workshop to provide a forum where researchers from the various disciplines will gather and exchange ideas, and ascertain research directions which will lead to human-centered systems.
The two-day Workshop will consist of 6 invited Panels. Each Panel will
have 100 minutes. The Panelists will give informal presentations. These
presentations will be followed by a general discussion in
which all Workshop participants are encouraged to join. Tentatively,
the 6 Panels are:
