As computing becomes ubiquitous and pervasive, computing is increasingly becom-
ing an extension of human, modifying or enhancing human experience. Today’s car
reacts to human perception of danger with a series of computers participating in how
to handle the vehicle for human command and environmental conditions. Proliferat-
ing sensors help with observations, decision making as well as sensory modifications.
The emergent semantic web will lead to machine understanding of data and help ex-
ploit heterogeneous, multi-source digital media. Emerging applications in situation
monitoring and entertainment applications are resulting in development of experien-
tial environments.
SEMANTIC WEB AND BEYOND
Computing for Human Experience
addresses the following goals:
➢ brings together forward looking research and technology that will shape our
world more intimately than ever before as computing becomes an extension
of human experience;
➢ covers all aspects of computing that is very closely tied to human perception,
understanding and experience;
➢ brings together computing that deal with semantics, perception and experi-
ence;
➢ serves as the platform for exchange of both practical technologies and far
reaching research.
