Workshop at the 2021 ACM Automotive User Interfaces (AutoUI) Conference

Organisers

Justin Edwards is a PhD candidate at University College Dublin and a member of the ADAPT Centre. His research examines speech in multitasking environments, examining how people speak to machines when busy conducting other tasks, and applying these insights to the design of system-initiated dialogue with conversational agents. His work has been presented at CHI, CUI and MobileHCI and published in Interacting with Computers. He also hosts a podcast about computational creativity called Robots on Typewriters, with work on this topic being published twice at CUI.

Philipp Wintersberger is a researcher at TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology). He obtained his doctorate in Engineering Science from Johannes Kepler University Linz specializing on Human-Machine Cooperation. His publications focus on trust in automation, attentive user interfaces, transparency of driving algorithms, as well as UX/acceptance of automated vehicles and have received several awards in the past years. He has co-organized several workshops at CHI and AutomotiveUI, and currently serves as Technical Program Chair for AutomotiveUI’21.

Leigh Clark is a Lecturer in Human-Computer Interaction at the Computational Foundry in Swansea University. His research examines the effects of voice and language design on speech interface interactions and how linguistic theories can be implemented and redefined in this context. He is co-founder of the international Conversational User Interfaces (CUI) conference series.

Daniel John Rough is a Lecturer in Computing at the University of Dundee, Scotland. His main research interest is in end-user development - designing interfaces that are not just easy to use, but also easy to tailor and extend without programming experience. His current research investigates how conversational user interfaces can be made more tailorable by their end users to improve user experience.

Philip R. Doyle is a PhD candidate in Human-Computer Interaction at University College Dublin, specialising in studying user perceptions of CUIs as dialogue partners. Adopting theory and methodological practices from cognitive psychology, Philip has published research at CHI, CUI, MobileHCI, IJHCI and is also a member of the current CUI steering committee. In addition to his main area of research, Philip also has a strong interest in ethics and transparency in CUI design.

Victoria Banks is a Research Fellow in Human Factors Engineering within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton. Her primary research interest centres on agent-based modelling of complex systems operating at varying levels of autonomy and the subsequent validation of these models through simulation and user testing. Victoria has worked closely with Jaguar Land Rover in the design and development of automated driving features using a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies.

Christian Janssen is an Assistant Professor in Utrecht University's Department of Experimental Psychology. His research interests are in understanding adaptive human behavior and human-automation interaction through a combination of empirical studies and computational modeling and computer simulations. He has served as General Chair of Auto-UI (2019) and currently serves as Technical Program co-Chair for Auto-UI (2021).

Benjamin Cowan is an Associate Professor at University College Dublin’s School of Information & Communication Studies. His research lies at the juncture between psychology, HCI and computer science in investigating how theoretical perspectives in human communication can be applied to understand phenomena in speech based human-machine communication. He has published widely on user centered issues in conversational and speech interface interaction, is co-founder of the international Conversational User Interfaces (CUI) conference series and has been involved in a number of workshops on this topic at CHI and Mobile HCI on designing speech and language technologies.
