Workshops
W1: AutoNUI 2012: The Second Workshop on Automotive Natural User Interfaces
Website: http://blog.hcilab.org/autonui/
Abstract: Natural user interfaces—generally gesture and speech interaction—are an increasingly hot topic in research and are already being applied in a multitude of commercial products. Most use cases currently involve consumer electronics devices like smart phones, tablets, TV sets, game consoles, or large-screen tabletop computers.
Motivated by the latest results in those areas, our vision is to apply natural user interfaces, for example gesture and conversational speech interaction, to the automotive domain as well. This integration might on one hand reduce driver distraction in certain cases and on the other hand might allow the design of new user experiences for infotainment and entertainment systems.
The goal of this workshop is to explore the design space of natural multi-modal automotive user interfaces and to continue the fruitful discussions held at the 1st Workshop on Automotive Natural User Interfaces from AutomotiveUI ’11 in Salzburg, Austria. We would like to analyze where and how new interaction techniques can be integrated into the car.

W2: CLW 2012: The Second Workshop on Cognitive Load and In-Vehicle Human-Machine Interaction
Website: http://www.auto-ui-cogload.unh.edu/
Abstract: 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. The workshop will address cognitive load estimation and management for both driving and interactions with in-vehicle systems, and will also endeavor to provide guidance on problems, goals, hypotheses and approaches for future research in this area.

W3: Electric Vehicle Information Systems - Challenges and Chances of E-Mobility
Website: http://www.evis.hciunit.org/
Abstract: What would the interaction with an automotive user interface in an electric vehicle (EV) be like? In this workshop, we will discuss how electric vehicle information systems (EVIS) and car interiors can be designed to meet challenges inherent in the development process of electric vehicles like e.g. range anxiety, energy recovery/recharging or automated driving. In accordance with the fundamental changes shown in today’s EV concepts, we address the challenge of rethinking in-car interaction as well as car interior design to overcome traditional implementation habits and see how EVs differ from contemporary cars. We want to open up the stage for new interaction techniques and flexible interior designs that embrace the future requirements of EVs.

W4: The Social Car (socially-inspired C2X interaction)
Website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar/
Abstract: This workshop aims at discussing the potential of cars' socializing one
with the other (similar to how humans are exchanging information), and
not just translating the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm into the car
domain. With the introduction of the concept of "social cars" we attempt
to make a blueprint of next generation in-vehicle technologies.
This is different from what the Internet of things (IoT) community is
talking about in the sense that IoT is sufficient if it has its own ID
that could be passively identifiable, whereas social cars have more
autonomous capability, so they could serve as a more active and even
interactive social being.
The central objective is to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of
the concept of socializing cars, addressing questions such as who can
communicate what, when, how, and why? To tackle these questions we would
like to invite researchers to take part in an in-depth discussion of
this timely, relevant, and important field of investigation."

W5: Human Factors for Connected Vehicles: Planned Research and Guideline Development Activities
Website: http://projects.battelle.org/auto-ui12-hfcvworkshop/
Abstract: The United States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Connected Vehicle program includes a human factors research component (Human Factors for Connected Vehicles, or HFCV) that will examine ways to increase safety and reduce the frequency of crashes caused by driver distraction. A key outcome of the HFCV program will be a set of guidelines for the development of the driver-vehicle interfaces (DVIs) of Connected Vehicles. This workshop will provide an overview of the DOTs HFCV program, review key research studies underway to support the program, describe the process of developing design guidelines for the HFCV program, and identify opportunities for industry stakeholders to participate in the effort.

W6: We are not there yet: Enhancing the "Routine Drives" Experience
Website: www.dalieslinda.com/autoworkshop
Abstract: Grand Theft Auto and The Italian Job might be the most exciting things that we currently experience in driving. Day in and out driving is mundane, repetitive and highly routinely. Through our ethnographic research, performed in Germany, Brazil, and China, we have identified several design opportunities in the area of future automotive user interfaces. In this workshop we open the doors to explore the ‘Routine Drives’ experience space. This research, together with statistical information about driving patterns, as well automotive technology trends makes exploring this space in a new light highly relevant. Through hands-on activities, presentations, and discussions, we would like to investigate such space with practitioner and academic peers in order to make the boring and mundane attractive, entertaining and engaging.
