Call for Paper Submissions: The Animal-Computer Interaction Conference
by Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas 28 Jul '24

28 Jul '24

Dear all, Hope everyone is having a lovely summer and it is OK to use this mailing list. This year I will be hosting the Animal-Computer Interaction conference in Glasgow in December, which looks at how animals interact with technology and the design of interactive tools for animals. There is more details below, and I’ll put up the registration details soon, but I wanted to share with you encase you were interested in attending, or submitting a short paper to be published as part of this conference. The deadline is the 2nd August and is only typically a few pages long. There will be international experts attending who are interested in developing technologies for animals and their effects so will be a good opportunity to connect to that audience if someone wishes to. Warmth, Ilyena =================================================== The International Animal-Computer Interaction Conference (ACI’24) (ACI’24)) / Call For Emerging Work Papers December 2-5th, 2024 - Glasgow, UK https://www.aciconf.org<https://www.aciconf.org/><https://www.aciconf.org%3chttps/www.aciconf.org/%3e> =================================================== Dear colleagues, The Eleventh International Animal-Computer Interaction Conference (ACI'24) will be held on 2nd-5th December 2024 in Glasgow University, UK. The deadline for emerging work papers is the 2nd August. We invite a wide range of contributions that have the potential to promote a constructive dialogue around how animals interact with technology and the design of interactive tools for animals. We welcome submissions from multidisciplinary areas, including computer science, veterinary science, design, and ecology. Our aim is to foster the development of Animal Computer Interaction (ACI) as a discipline. We encourage submission from those who work in the space between animals and technology. Submissions will be peer-reviewed. Accepted submissions will be included in the ACI2024 Conference Proceedings. Submissions might address topics such as: the role of technology in shaping human-animal relationships; studies and/or analysis of large-scale technology for animal deployments; considerations on the wider context of technology for animal use; methods and reflections on studying the next generation of technology for animals; or how to conduct ACI research in a world where commercial design and deployment of technology for animals outpaces academic thought. High-quality submissions on any related topic related to ACI are welcome. We invite research paper submissions, emerging works and workshops. You can find details on our website: https://www.aciconf.org<https://www.aciconf.org/><https://www.aciconf.org%3chttps/www.aciconf.org/%3e>. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Cheers, Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas General Chair
