Hello all,
I am coordinating a human-machine communication researchers meet-up at AoIR. This will be an informal chat over coffee, beer, or even a meal.
Human-Machine Communication generally encompasses human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and human-agent interaction. Here is an example of a recent ICA post-conference on HMC: https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ica/ica16/index.php?selected_sessio…
If you want to be part of the meet-up, e-mail me OFF LIST by Monday so that I can have a general idea of who is interested, and we'll go from there.
If you will not be at AoIR or will not be able to make the meet-up, I also curate an e-mail list of HMC scholars. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to be added to that.
Safe travels!

>From the Introduction: The hopes of past generations of hackers weigh like a delirium on the brains of the newbies. Back in the days when Bulletin Board Systems metamorphosed
into the Internet, the world's digital communications networks - hitherto confined to military, corporate and elite academic institutions - were at grasping reach of ordinary
individuals. To declare the independence of the Internet from nation states and the corporate world seemed like no more than stating the bare facts. Even encrypted communication
- the brainchild of military research - had leaked into the public's hands and had become a tool wielded against state power. Collectives of all stripes could make use of the new
possibilities offered by the Web to bypass traditional media, broadcast their own voice and assemble in new ways in this new public sphere. For some time, at least, the Internet
as a whole embodied "alternativeness."
