ABOUT

ACI is the main International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction. It

is a highly multidisciplinary event drawing researchers and practitioners

from the most diverse backgrounds to share and discuss work and topics

related to the research and design of technology for and with animals.



COVID-19 update

Due to the ongoing pandemic, it will be possible to register to attend the

conference virtually for a reduced fee (go to

http://www.aciconf.org/aci2020/attendees for more details). Submission

deadlines for all tracks remain unchanged, but for papers and workshops the

submission requirements have changed to ensure that authors can submit

their work and present it at the conference in spite of the disruption

caused by the pandemic (follow the links below to see the submission and

presentation requirements for each track).

THEME & TOPICS

This year's conference theme is ‘embodied dialogues’. Although

specifically

focussed, the theme is very broad in the connections that can be made from

multiple angles, in order to encourage engagement with and contributions to

the conference from a wide range of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary

perspectives. Submissions that relate to this year's conference theme are

especially welcome, but high quality submissions are welcome regardless.

Topics may include (but are not limited to):



   - support interspecies communication

   - improve humans’ understanding of other animals and their needs

   - enable humans to take better care of other animals

   - support animals in activities they do for humans

   - reduce interspecies conflicts and the impact of human activity on

   animals

   - foster ecologically and ethically sustainable forms of interspecies

   interaction and cohabitation.

   - studying and theorizing the interaction between animals and technology

   in naturalistic settings

   - developing user-centered technology to improve animals’ welfare,

   support animals' activities and foster interspecies relationships

   - informing animal-centered approaches that enable animals to

   participate in the design process as stakeholders and contributors.
