*Workshop Theme*<br>
----------------<br>
<br>
Due to the proactive and complex dynamics of pervasive computing<br>
applications, it is important that systems are intelligible (also<br>
called scrutable) to allow end-users to understand "what the systems<br>
know, how they know it, and what they are doing". Furthermore, these<br>
systems should put end-users at the center of control by empowering<br>
them to better co-ordinate, control, and personalize pervasive<br>
systems. Intelligibility and control are crucial to improve the<br>
usability of these novel, and possibly unintuitive, systems and to<br>
help users understand, appreciate, trust, and ultimately adopt them.<br>
<br>
With this workshop, we seek to provide a forum for exchanging design<br>
principles, programming techniques, toolkits and insights derived from<br>
real world studies towards building intelligible and user-controllable<br>
pervasive computing systems. Drawing upon the state-of-the-art, our<br>
goal is to refine existing and identify new directions for research in<br>
intelligibility and control for pervasive computing that will foster<br>
further work in the community.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
* Novel applications in pervasive computing highlighting<br>
intelligibility and/or user-driven control.<br>
<br>
* Programming techniques (e.g., design patterns, models),<br>
algorithms, architectures and toolkits to support<br>
intelligibility and/or control.<br>
<br>
* Interaction techniques and user interfaces to support<br>
intelligibility and/or control, including information<br>
visualization techniques to help users better interpret<br>
explanations from pervasive computing applications.<br>
<br>
* User studies exploring design principles to build intelligible<br>
pervasive systems.<br>
<br>
* Intelligible smart objects.<br>
<br>
* Evaluation metrics and methods to assess support for<br>
intelligibility and control in pervasive computing systems.<br>
<br>
*Submissions*<br>
-------------<br>
<br>
There will be two separate categories for submission:<br>
<br>
* Research Contributions should introduce novel concepts and present new<br>
insights and must not exceed 6 pages (ACM Format).<br>
<br>
* Position Statements may be up to 2 pages (ACM Format). They should<br>
outline a person's interest and experience in topic of the workshop.<br>
<br>
Authors are encouraged to submit to both categories, if considered<br>
appropriate. Supplementary material (e.g., videos) can be submitted<br>
as well and will be made available on the workshop website before the<br>
start of the workshop.<br>
<br>
Accepted papers will be published online on the workshop website and<br>
will be included in the electronic conference proceedings. In<br>
addition, authors of selected submissions will be invited to submit<br>
extended versions to a special issue of a journal or possibly an<br>
edited book.<br>
<br>
Contributions must be submitted through the EasyChair submission<br>
system no later than February 4, 2011, and should be in PDF<br>
format. More details can be found on the workshop website. If you have<br>
any further questions, we encourage you to contact the organizers at<br>
