Hello Colleagues of the CEDM Technical Group,
Please consider submitting your research to the CEDM Technical Group for the next HFES Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, Oct 23-27. The deadline is Tuesday, Feb 28th at 5pm EST. We especially look forward to research in the following areas, but if in doubt, submit your work! You can submit here: https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/HFESAM/
- Macrocognition. How can we evaluate performance relative to cognitive function across multiple agents? How do we move past only using expert review and self-report in our evaluations?
- Coordination. We welcome all system scales (e.g., human-autonomy teaming, team coordination, organizations), including how one scale influences another.
- Design strategies and patterns. Bring your generalizable design patterns backed up by empirical evidence from real settings. The more uncertainty, complexity, and high-stakes in the real setting, the better! Consider the interplay of microcognition and macrocognition in the designs. Potential topics include data visualization, AI integration, interaction design, decision-making, and organizational design
- Societal-Scale Systems. This is pretty new to human factors, and we want to see a lot more of it in CEDM. This topic includes diversity, equity, misinformation, public participation, public policy, public health, disaster preparedness and recovery, public relations, and many more. This also includes the effects of social media on these large cognitive systems, and how international and cross-cultural factors affect our work.
- 40th anniversary of Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE). In 1983, Hollnagel and Woods published "New Wine in New Bottles," the first publication to describe Cogntive Systems Engineering. We are looking for contributions to celebrate CSE's anniversary including reflection and historical perspectives.
Your research can be a 5-page paper or extended abstract for a lecture format, and we also welcome:
- Demonstrations
- Discussion Panels or Invited Symposia
- Workshops
- Alternative Format (Debates? Simulations? Skits?)
- A plenary-style speaker
If you have suggested guest speakers who might offer an interesting point of view for our CEDM audience, please email one of the CEDM officers. Please see our website for the full list of officers.
Thanks, all!
