Hierzu z\u00e4hlen Bereiche, die bereits seit Jahrzehnten Gegenstand der Forschung sind (z.B. Gesundheitswesen, Prozessf\u00fchrung in Leitwarten, Verkehrsf\u00fchrung), aber auch aktuelle Herausforderungen (z.B. Ausfallsichere Netzwerke, Cyberphysische Systeme, Social Media im Katastrophenschutz) und neuartige Technologien (z.B. Digital Twins, Extended Reality, K\u00fcnstliche Intelligenz) unter Ber\u00fccksichtigung ethischer, legaler und sozialer Implikationen. In diesen und vielen weiteren Bereichen gilt, dass sichere Systemzust\u00e4nde nur durch die ganzheitliche Betrachtung von Mensch, Technik und Organisation gew\u00e4hrleistet oder im Falle einer Disruption schnellstm\u00f6glich wieder erreicht werden k\u00f6nnen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist der Workshop auch der Nutzbarkeit und Akzeptanz von Sicherheitskonzepten sowie einer bewussteren Auseinandersetzung der Nutzenden mit diesen Themen gewidmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/peasec.de\/2025\/muc-ws-25\/\">https:\/\/peasec.de\/2025\/muc-ws-25\/<\/a><br><strong>Time:<\/strong> 11 am \u2013 5 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> Weinholdbau, W059<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS02: Accessible Automated Automotive Workshop Series (A3WS) &#8211; Accessibility in Mobility (AiM)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathias Haimerl<br>Pascal Jansen<br>Andreas Riener<br>Mark Colley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With modernizing traffic, a rise of automated vehicles (AVs) is expected. The potential multidirectional communication needs of AVs require solutions for traffic participants including cars and trucks, pedestrians and cyclists, infrastructure and mobile entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While AVs must convey their intentions, they must also interpret and respond to varying communication cues, which may be visual, auditory, or transmitted via connected data. To address this complexity, AVs must leverage advanced technologies, including pattern recognition, data harmonization, and potentially artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although automotive research advances rapidly, people with special needs (PSN) remains significantly underrepresented. Given demographic shifts toward an aging population and broader societal goals of equality and accessibility, it is imperative to integrate the needs of these groups when shaping the future of traffic. We, therefore, offer an inclusive forum for interdisciplinary exchange among academia, industry, and policymakers on current and emerging topics in this domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will facilitate dialogue, foster collaboration, and potentially inspire new value streams by incorporating perspectives from user experience (UX), psychology, product design, and legislative frameworks. Ultimately, we will forge new interdisciplinary networks to make communication among all road users more inclusive.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/a3ws.github.io\/MuC2025\">https:\/\/a3ws.github.io\/MuC2025<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> 9 am \u2013 4 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> ZHSG, N106<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS03: Second International Workshop on Empowering Energy Literacy &#8211; HCI Strategies for Accessible Data Engagement (EEL-HCI2025)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marc Kurz &#8211; University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria<br>Oliver H\u00f6dl &#8211; University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria<br>Georg Hartner &#8211; University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria<br>Christoph Schaffer &#8211; University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria<br>Stefan Gr\u00fcnberger &#8211; University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria<br>Shievam Kashyap &#8211; University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today&#8217;s dynamic energy transition, effective management and comprehension of energy-related information transcend conventional data analysis, which concerns all stakeholders involved from network operators to citizens. This workshop explores multifaceted energy transparency, integrating best practices, legal considerations, and HCI principles: Transparent energy data catalyze informed decision-making for driving sustainability; understanding energy management complexities enhances resource optimization; interdisciplinary collaboration from engineering to regulation fosters holistic energy transparency; and incorporating HCI principles promotes user engagement with energy data for empowering informed action. Through interactive sessions, we aim to collect multidisciplinary needs, challenges, requirements, and best practices which will be discussed to conclude on tools to navigate energy dynamics effectively, unlocking transformative potential for sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/eddie-energy.github.io\/eel-hci2025\/\">https:\/\/eddie-energy.github.io\/eel-hci2025\/<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> 2 pm \u2013 5:30 om<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> Weinholdbau, W034<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS04: ABIS 2025 &#8211; International Workshop on Personalization and Recommendation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neumayr, Thomas &#8211; FH Ober\u00f6sterreich<br>Yigitbas, Enes &#8211; Universit\u00e4t Paderborn<br>Augstein, Mirjam &#8211; FH Ober\u00f6sterreich<br>Herder, Eelco &#8211; Utrecht University<br>Stojko, Laura &#8211; Universit\u00e4t der Bundeswehr M\u00fcnchen<br>Strecker, Jannis &#8211; Universit\u00e4t St. Gallen<br>Seitz, Julia &#8211; Karlsruher Institut f\u00fcr Technologie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABIS is an international workshop, organized by the SIG on Adaptivity and User Modeling in Interactive Software Systems of the German Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Informatik.

While tools such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion enable new interaction paradigms, they also introduce ethical challenges such as bias, algorithmic opacity, deskilling, and digital homogeneity. As Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers and practitioners integrate GenAI into user interfaces, we must critically examine whether these technologies empower users or diminish agency by automating cognitive and creative processes. The second edition of the GenAI workshop fosters a critical dialogue on the role of GenAI in interactive systems, particularly concerning user autonomy, skill development, and equitable access. Simultaneously, the workshop explores new use cases for interactive systems. Participants will investigate the impact of GenAI through position papers, research statements, and discussions, synthesizing experiences and strategies from academics and practitioners. The workshop shows responsible and transparent AI integration in HCI design and practice by addressing the possibilities and limitations of GenAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/generativeai-hci.github.io\/MuC-workshop\/\">https:\/\/generativeai-hci.github.io\/MuC-workshop\/<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> 10 am \u2013 2:30 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> ZHSG, N001<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS10: Teleoperation Redefined: Exploring Wearable Interfaces for Natural Interaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giuseppe Sanseverino &#8211; TU Chemnitz<br>Max Pascher &#8211; TU Dortmund University, <br>Lewis Chuang &#8211; TU Chemnitz<br>Jens Gerken &#8211; TU Dortmund University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increasing presence of computers, robots, and otherware in daily life and workplaces is transforming human-computer interaction (HCI), leading to critical questions about collaboration, trust, and control interfaces. Despite their efficiency, these systems are often controlled by interfaces that are complex for the human operator to understand, thus leading to poor, unnatural interaction. Wearable sensor technologies offer a promising alternative by enabling more natural, adaptive, and multimodal interaction paradigms. However, despite their potential, wearable interfaces face significant challenges, including a lack of validation, limited standardization, and the absence of accessible prototyping tools. This workshop gathers experts in interface design, robotics, wearables, and teleoperation to explore strategies for simplifying and accelerating the prototyping process. Through expert presentations, engaging panel discussions, a hands-on prototyping session, the workshop aims to define key design principles, address technical challenges, and promote accessible prototyping strategies, ultimately advancing wearable interaction design in HCI and teleoperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearableteleoperation.net\">https:\/\/www.wearableteleoperation.net<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> 9 am \u2013 12:30 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> Weinholdbau, W044<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS11: 18th Workshop \u201cBe-greifbare Interaktion\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Delgado Rodriguez, Sarah &#8211; Universit\u00e4t der Bundeswehr M\u00fcnchen<br>Maierh\u00f6fer, Vitus &#8211; Universit\u00e4t Regensburg<br>Youssef, Yara &#8211; DIPF | Leibniz-Institut f\u00fcr Bildungsforschung und Bildungsinformation<br>Nischwitz, Lena M. &#8211; Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz<br>Friedenberger, Tamara &#8211; Julius-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t W\u00fcrzburg<br>Thalhammer, Philipp &#8211; LMU M\u00fcnchen<br>Fabritius, Philipp S. &#8211; Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz<br>Emmert, Martina &#8211; Universit\u00e4t Regensburg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tangible interaction centers around the manipulation of physical objects and the usage of our bodies, thus involving the environment and physical context stronger than visual or speech-based interfaces. The wide range of possibilities for integrating sensors and computing systems into the physical environment provides ample design space. The research field of Tangible Interaction investigates this scope, to enable meaningful and human-oriented applications. In this workshop, the German Informatics Society (GI) specialist group \u201cBe-greifbare Interaktion\u201d of the Department of Human-Computer Interaction offers a forum for scientific discourse and interdisciplinary discussion. Contributions range from theoretical, critical and forward-looking reflections, to design work and practical implementations. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cTangibles &amp; AI\u201d, exploring how tangibles can be augmented with AI models and AI can be made more tangible. The workshop opens the discussion to a broader audience of experts and students, to disclose current developments and generate new impulses for the research field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fg-bgi.gi.de\/mitteilung\/workshop-muc-2025\">https:\/\/fg-bgi.gi.de\/mitteilung\/workshop-muc-2025<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> 9 am \u2013 5 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> ZHSG, N006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS12: BEHAVE AI@MuC: Towards the Human-Centered Design and Evaluation of Proactive AI Agents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthias Kraus &#8211; University of Augsburg<br>Nima Zargham &#8211; University of Bremen<br>Ilhan Aslan &#8211; Aalborg University<br>Martin Murer &#8211; University of Salzburg<br>Naja Kathrine &#8211; Aalborg University<br>Thomas Weber &#8211; LMU Munich<br>Carolin Schindler &#8211; Ulm University<br>Justin Edwards &#8211; University of Oulu<br>Elisabeth Andr\u00e9 &#8211; University of Augsburg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advancements in AI are a reason for an ongoing interest in studying human interactions with increasingly autonomous and proactive agents. Despite the growing research interest in proactive agents, design and evaluation methodologies remain largely informed by reactive system designs and arguably legacy principles. With our full-day multidisciplinary workshop, we aim to continue a new workshop series on closing the critical gap between reactive and proactive systems research. To this end, the series brings together researchers and practitioners from the interdisciplinary HCI community from academia and industry. We will address the challenges of designing and evaluating proactive agents by reflecting on issues with existing evaluation methods, identifying opportunities in designing proactive systems and discussing potential solutions, best practices, new theories, and human-centric guidelines. Ultimately, our goal is to map out key focus areas and research challenges, fostering strong interdisciplinary relationships within and across fields related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hcai.eu\/behave-ai\/\">https:\/\/www.hcai.eu\/behave-ai\/<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> 2:00 pm \u2013 5:30 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> ZHSG, N005<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS13: Embedding HCI in the Real World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ceenu George<br>Franziska G\u00fcnther<br>Jana-Sophie Effert<br>Eva Wiese<br>Sebastian M\u00f6ller<br>Veronica Hoth<br>Falko Dressler<br>Stefan Brandenburg<br>Frauke M\u00f6rike<br>Moritz Queisner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite researchers, practitioners, and academics from diverse sectors to participate in our workshop on field studies with emerging technologies in collaborative, hybrid spaces.

Das Konzept des \u201etechnological fix\u201c &#8211; die Vorstellung, dass alle Probleme allein durch Technologie gel\u00f6st werden k\u00f6nnen &#8211; dient als Ausgangspunkt f\u00fcr Diskussionen, die auf Forschung, Fallstudien und praktischen Erfahrungen basieren. Gemeinsam wollen wir erkunden, wo technologische Fixes geholfen haben, wo sie gescheitert sind und was verloren gehen kann, wenn nicht-technologische L\u00f6sungen ausgeblendet werden.

While use cases and users are diverse and show different characteristics, the interaction between robots and humans is often based on one primary input modality.<br>In this workshop, we explore criteria of human-machine teaming from the perspective of human-human teaming and investigate novel approaches of multimodal interaction with robots, particularly for inclusive design. By enabling close collaboration between the workshop participants, we will (a) build a common understanding of the need for inclusive design in human-robot-interaction, (b) raise awareness of human-robot teaming aspects through an interactive experiment, (c) discuss current approaches, such as artificial<br>intelligence or emotion recognition to, e.g. predict intentions in collaborative scenarios, and (d) elaborate on a joint workshop outcome that will, provide the human-computer interaction and human-robot collaboration communities with, e.g. recommendations for inclusive design in human-robot interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/ost.ch\/muc2025-hrc-workshop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ost.ch\/muc2025-hrc-workshop<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> 9 am \u2013 5 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> Weinholdbau, W043<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS17: Entertainment Computing im Lichte digitaler Diversit\u00e4t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heinrich S\u00f6bke &#8211; Hochschule Weserbergland und Bauhaus-Universit\u00e4t Weimar<br>Polona Caserman &#8211; unabh\u00e4ngige Wissenschaftlerin, assoziiert mit der TU Darmstadt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entertainment computing is a field of study and application that uses computer technology to create, improve and support entertainment experiences. It combines elements of various fields, such as computer science, multimedia, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, human-computer interaction and digital art to develop interactive and immersive entertainment solutions. Digital diversity refers to the diversity of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences represented in digital environments. Furthermore, digital diversity encompasses inclusion and accessibility in relation to technology, digital content and online communities. In this half-day workshop, we aim at exploring how digital diversity can be promoted through entertainment computing. This includes representation and variety, as well as accessibility and inclusion in digital media. The intended outcomes of the workshop are selected case studies provided by submissions of participants and a common theoretical foundation and understanding that should lead to further development of digital diversity in entertainment computing in follow-up activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fg-enc.gi.de\/veranstaltung\/muc-enc-25\">https:\/\/fg-enc.gi.de\/veranstaltung\/muc-enc-25<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> 2 pm \u2013 12 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> Weinholdbau, W037<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">MCI-WS18: The Urban Future is Now: Shifting Perspectives On The Future Of Smart Living<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Konstantina Marra &#8211; Bauhaus-Universit\u00e4t Weimar<br>Osipova Margarita &#8211; Bauhaus-Universit\u00e4t Weimar<br>Schulz Annika Sabrina &#8211; Open Home Foundation<br>Aal Tanja &#8211; Universit\u00e4t Siegen<br>Aal Konstantin &#8211; Universit\u00e4t Siegen<br>Hornecker Eva &#8211; Bauhaus-Universit\u00e4t Weimar<br>Hespanhol Luke &#8211; The University of Sydney<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As smart urbanism evolves, smart living is increasingly shaping everyday life\u2014promising efficiency, security, and energy savings while also influencing social interactions, social and family dynamics, personal agency, as well as the overall well-being of an individual. However, current smart city designs and smart living models often neglect critical ethical and societal concerns, such as inclusivity, accessibility, and the diverse needs of residents. Without addressing these, &#8220;smart&#8221; risks becoming exclusionary rather than empowering and facing the broader public&#8217;s resistance to its adoption over time. This workshop aims at uniting researchers and practitioners of Urban Informatics, Smart Urbanism, Human-Computer Interaction, Sociology and Psychology to explore how smart living can foster social well-being and how we can address design challenges sustainably rather than merely optimise smart technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/urban-future-now.pubpub.org\/muc-25\">https:\/\/urban-future-now.pubpub.org\/muc-25<\/a><br><strong><strong>Time<\/strong>:<\/strong> <strong>TUESDAY,<\/strong> 9 am \u2013 12 pm<br><strong>Room:<\/strong> ZHSG, NK003<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day: Sunday, 31.08.2025(MCI-WS18 on Tuesday, 02.09.2025)Time &amp; Room: see individual workshops in table or description below Workshop HCI Overview The Workshops all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":927,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1004","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1004"}],"version-history":[{"count":39,"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1730,"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1004\/revisions\/1730"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/muc2025.mensch-und-computer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
