Title When Humans and Computers Come Together: A New or Resurged Old Research Paradigm?
Speaker Shujin Li, School of Computing, University of Kent, UK.
Abstract In this talk the speaker will talk about his personal observation and thoughts on a range of newly emerged research topics and concepts in computer science and other related disciplines, which are all around a key concept of putting humans and computers together. He will look at historical roots of such concepts in computer science and application backgrounds of such topics and concepts, and makes his attempt of connecting many of them. The talk will touch a number of fundamental concepts in computer science such as the term “computing” itself, and crosscuts a number of important areas in computer science including AI, HCI, cyber security, and information visualisation. It will also go beyond computer science to look at closely related disciplines such as cognitive and behavioural sciences, modelling and simulation, sociology, and engineering.
