Report from CHI 2009, April 4-9, Boston, USA

The HCS Lab of the University of Amsterdam had a paper accepted at the workshop on Mobile User Experience Research at the SIGCHI Conference on Human factors in computer systems (CHI’09) in Boston, USA with the title "Interaction with autonomous, mobile agents in a hazard monitoring context". The paper presented details about a user study that we are currently running investigating the effect of social system behavior on user behavior and trust in the interaction with semi-autonomous, context-aware mobile systems.

CHI generally provided a very good basis for getting an overview of (mobile) human-computer interaction, introducing the Diadem project to the HCI community, and provided various valuable opportunities for networking.
