Workshops
Rethinking Interaction - CHI 2018
This one-day workshop offers an interdisciplinary forum for researchers interested in challenging the fundamental assumptions that underlie today's graphical user interfaces. We will build upon existing design principles, such as instrumental interaction and co-adaptive systems, to rethink how to create productive human-computer partnerships.

Introduction
Today’s interactive systems are fraught with limitations and incompatibilities: they lack interoperability and flexibility for end users. This one-day workshop offers an interdisciplinary forum for researchers interested in challenging the fundamental assumptions that underlie today’s graphical user interfaces. We will build upon existing design principles, such as instrumental interaction and co-adaptive systems, to rethink how to create productive human-computer partnerships. We will address three primary challenges:
- How can we create interactive digital environments that are flexible enough to support appropriation by end users?
- How can we combine human intelligence with artificial intelligence to optimally benefit human activities rather than simply replace them?
- How can we help users shift easily across different types of human-computer partnerships, from full user control to full automation?
See the full description for more details.
Submissions
We welcome submission of 3-4 page position papers (excluding references) in the CHI Extended Abstracts Format that describe theoretical frameworks or real-world examples that exceed the limits of current interactive systems. Send submissions by email to mbl@lri.fr.
All papers will be reviewed by program committee members based on their relevance to the workshop and the likelihood of contributing to a lively discussion. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and all participants must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference. We will provide a limited number of grants for Ph.D. students to attend the workshop.
