Abstract
This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications (CHIRA 2022), which was held in Valletta, Malta as a hybrid event, from 27 to 28 October. CHIRA is sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), and is held in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems and the European Society for Socially Embedded Technologies (EUSSET). The purpose of CHIRA is to bring together professionals, academics and students who are interested in the advancement of research and practical applications of human-technology & human-computer interaction. Different aspects of Computer-Human Interaction were covered in four parallel tracks: Human Factors and Information Systems, Interactive Devices, Interaction Design, and Adaptive and Intelligent Systems. Human-Computer Interaction is getting renewed interest as human-ai interaction due to the increasing success of artificial intelligence and its applications. In addition to paper presentations, CHIRA’s program included three invited talks delivered by internationally distinguished speakers: Alan Dix (Swansea University, United Kingdom), Truth in an Age of Information; Karen Holtzblatt (InContext Design, United States), Contextual Design: Origins, Ethics, and Diverse Voices; and Abigail Sellen (Microsoft Research Cambridge, United Kingdom), Transforming the Future of Work through Human-Centred Design. CHIRA received 36 paper submissions from 17 countries, of which 17% were accepted as full papers. The high quality of the papers received imposed difficult choices during the review process. To evaluate each submission, a double-blind paper review was performed by the Program Committee, whose members are highly qualified independent researchers in the CHIRA topic areas. All presented papers will be submitted for indexation by Scopus, Google Scholar, DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, Semantic Scholar, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index), and Web of Science/Conference Proceedings Citation Index (Clarivate). A short list of papers presented at the conference will be selected for publication of extended and revised versions in the CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) Series book by Springer. Another short list of papers will be invited for a post-conference special issue of the Springer Nature Computer Science Journal. All papers presented at this conference will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. We express our thanks to all participants. First to all the authors, whose quality work is the essence of this conference; secondly to all members of the Program Committee and auxiliary reviewers, who helped us with their expertise and valuable time. We also deeply thank the invited speakers for excellent contributions in sharing their knowledge and vision. Finally, we acknowledge the professional support of the CHIRA 2022 team for all organizational processes, especially given the needs of a hybrid event, in order to make it possible for CHIRA 2022 authors to present their work and share ideas with colleagues in spite of the logistic difficulties. We wish you all an inspiring conference. We hope to meet you again next year for the 7th edition of CHIRA, details of which will soon be available at http://www.chira.scitevents.org/.
