In many areas, successfully deploying interfaces with high usability and user experience (UX) is crucial for people’s safety and wellbeing. These include, for example, control rooms for emergency services and energy suppliers, aircraft cockpits, ship bridges, surgery rooms, and intensive care units. Information and cooperation needs are not limited to the users’ immediate environment but often involve numerous actors in other places (regulators, field workers, shift supervisors, remote assistance, etc.). The specific aspects of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in such spaces of control are the subject of this workshop.

This workshop is open to everyone interested in the aspects related to the design, engineering, evaluation, deployment, training, maintenance, and certification of human-computer interaction in safety-critical spaces of control.

We invite participants to present position papers describing real-life case studies that illustrate how a new technology would enhance operations in safety-critical spaces of control. Prospective participants should submit papers describing their experience, interest and views on the design, engineering and evaluation in safety-critical contexts.
