IUI'09 workshop summary: human interaction with intelligent & networked systems

ABSTRACT

This workshop brings together a community of researchers and practitioners to identify and develop the research agenda needed to enhance human interaction with increasingly powerful and independent intelligent systems e.g. sensors networks, autonomous systems, agents and robotic systems. These systems have applications in many domains including health, transport, environment, emergency situations and defense. Aspects of these systems give rise to properties found in loose federations, collaborations and dynamic coalitions. The research questions include awareness, joint working, decision-making, intentionality, coordination, task-allocation, and planning. The workshop brings together researchers from different disciplines to discuss and develop research and to provide a focus for interdisciplinary research in this area.
