Participating

The idea of the present workshop is to widen the perspective on human-technology interaction by bringing together researchers from different scientific areas currently rarely represented in the field. The workshop focuses on four main aims:

1. Connecting researchers from different backgrounds
2. Collecting theoretical and methodological approaches from the range of scientific disciplines
3. Analyzing possible conceptual and methodological overlaps and cross connections.
4. Writing a synopsis of the different scientific perspectives contributing on speech-based technology (post-workshop timeline)

Participants are encouraged to submit position papers of about 1-3 pages (including references + an optional 4th page for references) using the ACM template. All Position papers have to be uploaded via the easychair system and will be reviewed by the Workshop Committee.

Structure of Your Position Paper: Five Questions

Your position paper should explicitly cover the following questions:

• What do I know already?
  • Here, we ask for your perspective, for your understanding, your idea of (a certain facet of) speech-based technology; the theories and concepts you refer to in your research.
• How do I study the phenomenon?
  • We ask for the methodological approaches, you apply to study (a certain facet of) speech-based technology.
• What I would like to know?
  • We invite you to share the open questions that motivate your research and the future directions or your plans for your research activities.
• What do I want to learn from different disciplines?
  • As you will meet researchers from other disciplines, we encourage you to think about specific theoretical or methodological approaches from other disciplines that could help you to gain deeper insights and a better understanding of the phenomenon you study.
• What do I want to teach other disciplines?
  • Completing the question before, you present specific theoretical or methodological approaches from your discipline, which you regard as an additional, valuable source of knowledge for the other disciplines.

After the position paper is accepted - Preparation for the workshop

Notifications of acceptance will be sent on June 18, 2021. When accepted, participants are encouraged to prepare two short presentations (not longer than 5 minutes each), contributing to two rounds of presentation within the workshop. The presentations cover the answers given in the position paper:

1st presentation: What we know and how do we know (answering question 1 + 2)

2st presentation: What I want to learn (answering question 3 + 4 + 5)

Attending the Workshop

Details about the virtual attendance will follow.

After the workshop - Preparation of a written workshop synopsis

As a result of the workshop, we want to compile the results in the form of a written synopsis. The final realization of this synopsis is not fixed yet but will be brought up to discussion in the workshop. One possible option could be conference proceedings incorporating the (modified) position papers in the form of an edited volume or edited book, which presents the multiple scientific perspectives contributing to a deeper understanding of speech-based technology.
