The professors of the University of Cauca César Alberto Collazos in the Organizing Committee, Julio Hurtado and William García in the Academic Committee, will be linked to the special session on ethics and human-computer interaction.

 

César Alberto Collazos, coordinator of the IDIS group (Research and Development in Software Engineering), attached to the Systems Department of the Faculty of Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications of the University of Cauca, is one of the organizers of the special session on ethics and interaction Human computer to be held within the framework of the Interaction Congress 20/21, which will take place from September 22 to 24 in Malaga (Spain).

 

Along with Professor Collazos, Gonzalo Joya from the University of Malaga (Spain) and Rosa Gil and Antoni Granollers, teachers from the University of Lleida (Spain) will be the organizers. Likewise, the professors from the University of Cauca, Julio Hurtado assigned to the Systems Department, William García from the Biology Department and Ricardo Benítez from the Chemistry Department participate in the Academic Committee of this special edition.

 

“This event is expected to be a space for discussion regarding the transcendental importance of ethical aspects in the development of Interactive Systems and how new forms of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) can significantly change our lives. The new interaction paradigms offer an opportunity, for example, for people with physical limitations, to improve the quality of life”, said teacher César Collazos.

 

On the other hand, new problems will appear, particularly related to privacy, security and ethics, which can potentially slow down the diffusion of new hardware and software products based on wearable (and invisible) devices.

 

In this context, some researchers have already inquired about the relationships between interface design and legal and privacy issues; national laws are heterogeneous and are not yet ready to face current and future HCI developments.

 

The topics raised for this special session are:

 

 

 

Models for the design of Interactive Systems from an approach focused on Human values

Values ​​and User Experiences

HCI curriculum focused on ethical aspects
