Dear CEDM colleagues,
Submissions for this year's HFES annual meeting are right around the corner, with a deadline of February 21st. Please consider submitting proposals on topic areas that fall within areas of research on human cognition and decision-making in a variety of complex real-world tasks. The emphasis for CEDM-related contribution is on considerations of models, processes, and characteristics of human cognition and decision-making and the application of this knowledge to the design of systems. We're looking for submissions from all typical HFES audiences: academics, researchers, practitioners, industry, and government/military professionals.
Please note that this year, HFES is implementing several changes to the submission process. An overview of these changes can be found here. The changes include, among others, an initial submission in the form of a shorter, structured abstract (not a formatted paper submission) and more flexibility related to publication in the proceedings. Authors will be asked to select keywords and optionally select a TG of preference. The CEDM TG will review submissions that are deemed relevant based on indicated keywords and, if you indicated one, your TG preference. As in the past, all submissions will receive a multi-person peer review.
We welcome proposals for all formats: Lecture format, discussion panels or invited symposia, demonstrations, posters, workshops, and alternative formats. We'd like to call out these areas of interest for proposal submissions especially, but if in doubt, please submit your work!
- Macrocognition. Characteristics of human cognition and decision-making, alone, with other individuals, or with intelligent systems. The emphasis is on complex real-world tasks. The more uncertainty, complexity, and high stakes in the real setting, the better!
- Design strategies and patterns. Generalizable design patterns backed up by empirical evidence of real designs in real settings and the application of these patterns to the design, development, and maintenance of machines, automation, and other support systems, training programs, and coordination environments for people who work in teams or groups.
- Cognitive systems at scale. We welcome submissions at all system scales, including human-machine teaming and team coordination, and would love to hear more about larger-scale (organizational, societal) scale. This includes cognitive systems engineering to develop solutions that address sustainability, diversity, equity, misinformation, public participation, public policy, public health, disaster preparedness and recovery, public relations, cyber-physical systems, socio-technical systems, and many more!
- Models and methods. Advances in the development and application of modeling techniques, methods, and approaches for the analysis, design, and evaluation of cognitive systems in real-world tasks.
You can submit your work here. We look forward to your submissions and hope to see you in Phoenix later this year!
