HUMA 2015 - Symposium on Human-Machine and Aware Computing (HUMA)

This symposium provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss research on Human-Machine Interaction and Aware Computing (HUMA). In this past decade, extensive and groundbreaking research on human-machine interaction has developed new insights into multiple areas of aware computing, including context-aware computing, situation-aware computing, affective computing, and smart/intelligent environments. The goal of HUMA is to create and further develop new and existing theories for multimedia systems and interfaces on devices that can detect intangible entities immune to immediate physical perception, such as emotional states, intentions, motivations, etc. A sensor-ridden elderly care system, for example, will need to be aware of its user's intentions or emotions in order to provide specific customized services. Systems or interfaces that can detect and analyze potential risks leading to a dangerous situations or signs of opportunities benefitting the user are the next step in a new generation of human-machine interactions. HUMA also encourages active discussions on methodologies, tools, and multimedia environments in human-machine interaction and aware computing that support computing areas addressed in other COMPSAC symposia.
