Subject: [Faculty] Visiting Professor Lecture tomorrow (Wednesday)

Talk by Prof. Aaron Quigley
Wednesday (tomorrow) at 1:00
Location: CS Conference Room HFH 1132
(Hosted by Four Eyes Lab, UCSB)

Title:
UbiComp: User Interfaces and the Human Interface Technology Laboratory 
Australia (HIT Lab AU)

Abstract
The user interface represents the point of contact between a computer 
system and a human, both in terms of input to a system and output from 
it. UbiComp consists of hardware, software, systems and services which 
act as the computational edifice around which we need to build our user 
interfaces to afford people natural or "invisible" interaction styles. 
UbiComp is driven by the evolution of the computer from a single device 
to a "computing space" comprising of personal and peripheral computing 
elements and services all connected and communicating as required. This 
talk discusses emerging UbiComp User Interface research directions and 
projects in the HIT Lab AU and global research and development in the 
realisation of User Interfaces for UbiComp. Examples are drawn from 
research and development groups around the world who are exploring 
mobile and embedded devices in almost every type of physical artefact 
including cars, toys, tools, homes, appliances, clothing and work 
surfaces. The talk is grounded in a recent chapter by Associate 
Professor Quigley in the book "Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals" edited 
by John Krumm of Microsoft.

Speaker Bio
Aaron Quigley is the inaugural director of the Human Interface 
Technology Laboratory Australia (HIT Lab AU) and an Associate Professor 
in the School of Computing and Information Systems in the University of 
Tasmania, Australia. Until recently he was an academic staff member in 
the School of Computer Science & Informatics, University College Dublin 
(UCD), Ireland. Previously he was a senior research fellow in the 
University of Sydney Australia, a visiting scientist with Mitsubishi 
Electric Research Labs (MERL) in Cambridge Massachusetts USA and an 
associate lecturer in the University of Newcastle Australia. During his 
five years at UCD he was an IBM CAS Visiting Scientist, co-Principal 
Investigator for the SFI Strategic Research Cluster Clique on Graph and 
Network Analysis, coordinator for the EU FP7 support action CAPSIL, a 
researcher in Lero the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, 
collaborator in CLARITY the Centre for Sensor Web Technologies, 
principal investigator for the NDRC Dviz project and director of ODCSSS 
an undergraduate research internship program.

Aaron's research interests include pervasive computing, software 
engineering, information visualisation, human computer interaction, 
graph drawing, location and context awareness and surface interaction. 
He has published 100 internationally peer-reviewed publications 
including edited volumes, journal papers, book chapters, conference and 
workshop papers and holds 3 patents. His research projects in UCD were 
funded by the SFI, NDRC, IRCSET, IBM, Microsoft and the FP7 program. 
Aaron is a Chartered Fellow of the British Computer Society (BCS), a 
senior member of the IEEE, a member of the ACM and recipient of National 
Institute of Engineers Australia award for excellence in engineering 
education.
