Call for Tutorial

Call for Tutorial Proposals: IHCI 2024

IHCI 2024 invites tutorial presenters to submit proposals for informative and educational tutorials to be held as part of the conference program. Tutorials provide an opportunity to delve deep into specific topics related to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and offer participants valuable insights, practical skills, and hands-on learning experiences. Here are the details and guidelines for submitting tutorial proposals:

1. Tutorial Topics: We welcome tutorial proposals on a wide range of HCI-related topics, including but not limited to:

   • User experience design and evaluation methodologies

   • Interaction design principles and best practices

   • Usability testing and evaluation techniques

   • Prototyping and wireframing tools and methods

   • Data visualization and visual analytics

   • User-centered research methods

   • Mobile and multi-device interfaces

   • Ethical Considerations in HCI Research and Practice

   • Designing for specific user populations (e.g., children, older adults)

   • Novel interaction techniques and technologies

2. Tutorial Duration: Tutorials can be either half-day or full-day sessions. Please specify the preferred duration of your tutorial in the proposal.

3. Target Audience: Specify the intended audience for your tutorial, such as researchers, practitioners, industry professionals, students, or a combination thereof. Clearly define the level of expertise or prior knowledge required for participants to benefit from the tutorial.

4. Presenter Information: Provide a brief introduction to the tutorial presenters, including their expertise and experience in the field of HCI. Include their affiliations and contact information.

5. Tutorial Description: Submit a detailed description of the tutorial, including the learning objectives, the topics to be covered, and the format of the tutorial (e.g., lectures, demonstrations, hands-on exercises). Explain how the tutorial addresses current challenges or emerging trends in HCI and how it benefits participants.

6. Tutorial Outline: Provide a proposed outline or agenda for the tutorial, including a breakdown of the topics to be covered and the estimated time allocated to each section.

7. Materials and Resources: Specify any special requirements, materials, or resources needed for the tutorial, such as software tools, datasets, or hardware. Clarify whether participants need to bring their laptops or any other equipment.

8. Submission Guidelines: To submit your tutorial proposal via the online CMT site or by email: ihcisociety@gmail.com, please provide a comprehensive document addressing the points mentioned above. Additionally, include a brief biography of the presenters, highlighting their qualifications and relevant experience.

9. Deadline: The deadline for tutorial proposals is July15, 2024. Please ensure that your submission is completed before this date.

We encourage tutorial proposals that offer valuable insights, practical skills, and hands-on learning experiences to participants. We look forward to receiving your proposals and hosting informative tutorials at IHCI 2024, where we aim to foster knowledge exchange and skill development in the field of Human-Computer Interaction.

Tutorial Lecture (Half-day)

Tutorial Description 

The focus of my talk is using crowdsourcing in the IoT-based modern systems. Each of these systems is a complex system of systems and the quality attributes that are to be considered in the design of these systems as well the sustainability of their operations varies based on its component systems as well as their functional integration. For example, a Surveillance System requires edge devices, edge computing as well as emergency response systems integrated along with people interacting with certain edge devices to trigger certain events. Another example is of a Transportation system that requires the predictive modeling for sustainable infrastructure design and integrated infrastructure components that may include self-driving cars, hyperloop, congestion pricing modeling and virtual traffic lights along with people adding real-time data deriving right inferences for self-adaptive system components. Howe [1] defines “Crowdsourcing” as the act of taking a task traditionally performed by a designated agent and outsourcing it by making an open call to an undefined but large group of people. It harnesses the collective intelligence or knowledge base of crowd's wisdom and in the right set of conditions, the crowd always tends to outperform any number of employees. Ensuring this right set of conditions is the key to success [5]. During this tutorial we will discuss the usage of crowdsourcing in the development process as well as the self-sustainability of IoT-based systems
