Dear colleagues,
The IFIP WG 2.7/13.4 on User Interface Engineering is happy to announce the
fourth UI Engineering Live Talks episode.
This month, *Fabio Paternò* explores the challenges of human control in a
world of IoT and AI, focusing on innovative ways to empower users to manage
automation in their daily lives without programming skills. The talk will
be given on *November 30, 15:00 CET*
Title: Humanations: A new understanding of human/automation interaction

Abstract:
How people interact with digital technologies is currently caught between
the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. In both trends, human
control over technology is jeopardized. At the same time, little is
happening in terms of innovating how we think and build automations. This
is despite the current availability of various types of devices and
modalities for supporting user interactions. This talk will discuss
concepts and methods that can be useful to address the core challenges of
human control over automations involving people, objects, devices,
services, and robots. The goal is to identify innovative approaches to
support end users, even without programming experience, to understand,
create or modify the automations in their daily environments, augmenting
human capabilities in managing automations through effective modalities,
relevant analytics, explanations, and intelligent recommendations.
