AutomotiveUI, the International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, is the premier forum for UI research in the automotive domain. It is the only international conference focusing on in-vehicle interaction technologies. Consistent with prior conferences, AutomotiveUI 2017 will address novel in-vehicle services, models of and concepts for enhancing the driver experience, driver performance and behavior, development of (semi-) autonomous driving, and the needs of different user groups, to support the development of in-vehicle user interfaces that are safe, easy to use, useful, and desired by users.
As a complete ACM conference for the first time in 2017, AutomotiveUI launches again in Germany after 2009, which offers valuable opportunities FOR German car manufactures and other entities to present their brand values, and to convey their understanding about the vehicle’s development trend. In addition, as AutomotiveUI brings together researchers and practitioners interested in both the technical and the human aspects of in-vehicle user interfaces and applications, it also provides the opportunity to exchange both technical information concerning research (and practice) and educational activities for motor vehicle user interface development.
The number of participants in the conference has grown steadily in recent years and this trend is expected to continue this year. In addition, participants are international with about 20% from the USA, 20% from the UK and 20% from Germany, while the remaining 40% come from 13 different countries across Europe and Asia, which is interesting for car manufactures aiming at global markets, especially the Asian market.
AutomotiveUI 2017 invites companies, foundations, institutions, and other entities to support the 2017 conference through financial sponsorship. Sponsorship brings incomparable visibility to the leading conference on Automotive User Interfaces. It is a great place to exchange with researchers and industry and the driving topics of the field, to meet leading experts in the field but also researchers and students who will form the next generation of experts in Automotive User Interfaces. Your support would be invaluable for the success of AutomotiveUI 2017.
