Cognitive Load and In-Vehicle Human-Machine Interaction

Workshop participants should register at the ICT&S Center, located at Sigmund Haffner Gasse 18 (see below on Bing or as pdf). The registration desk will be open at 8 AM on Wednesday, November 30. The workshop will start at 9 AM (see program).

The workshop will be held in a building across the street from the ICT&S Center. The building houses the Law School (Rechtswissenschaftliche Fakultät – Universität Salzburg). Student volunteers will serve as guides from the ICT&S Center to the seminar room – a 3 minute walk. Our hosts at the ICT&S will also place signs leading participants to the seminar room.

We are making reservations for workshop participants at the Zipfer Bierhaus. The restaurant is located within walking distance of the workshop location.

The early registration deadline for the AutomotiveUI 2011 conference is today, November 4. In order to attend the workshop you have to register for the conference – the single conference fee covers the entire event.

So, go and register early!

In response to several requests we are extending the submission deadline to Monday, October 24.

We are assembling a Program Committee. To date eight ten twelve fifteen distinguished researchers have accepted our invitation to serve on the PC – see the Organizers page. Thanks to all for their willingness to participate in organizing the workshop.

We are now accepting submissions for the 2011 Cognitive Load and In-Vehicle Human-Machine Interaction workshop at AutomotiveUI 2011. Submissions can be made using EasyChair.

We invite you to view the call for papers and submit your contribution by Monday, October 17, 2011.

We are excited to announce the Cognitive Load and In-Vehicle Human-Machine Interaction workshop to be held at AutomotiveUI 2011 in Salzburg, Austria.

Interactions with in-vehicle electronic devices can interfere with the primary task of driving. The concept of cognitive load helps us understand the extent to which these interactions interfere with the driving task and how this interference can be mitigated. While research results on in-vehicle cognitive load are frequently presented at automotive research conferences and in related journals, so far no dedicated forum is available for focused discussions on this topic. This workshop aims to fill that void.

We invite you to view our call for papers, and we hope that you will consider joining us in Salzburg on November 30, 2011.

Cheers,
Andrew, Peter H., Tim, Tom, Paul, Ivan, Peter F., Bryan, Shamsi and Dagmar
