CALL FOR PAPERS

The theme of the 4th ICHMS is “Trustworthy Human-Autonomy Teaming”. The
conference will cover progress and contributions on brain-inspired
autonomous systems at multiple scales, including cognitive science,
engineering, and design for safe and trusted human-autonomy teaming;
technological aids for verifiable artificial intelligence (AI) decisions;
trust modeling, measures, and management, and fundamental issues of trust
and barriers to adoption of AI-enabled autonomy in complex socio-technical
systems. The organization of ICHMS will include Regular Sessions, Special
Sessions, Poster Sessions, and Sessions focused on PhD student research.
Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore. ICHMS
will be jointly held with the IEEE International Defence Excellence and
Security (IDEaS) Symposium 2024 with the theme of “Best of Two Worlds:
Human-AI Teaming for Effective Decision-Making”

 .

Regular papers (6 pages) should provide complete and high-quality
contributions to the field. Short Papers (4 pages) are expected to cover
recent research outcomes that are not yet mature enough for a regular paper
but still provide novel insights. Posters (1 page) should ideally show work
in progress or applications/demos that can be best presented through an
interactive format at the meeting. Submission to a Regular, Special, or a
PhD Session should focus on topics including, but not limited to:

   - Assured Autonomy
   - Augmented Cognition
   - Authority/Control Transfer
   - Brain-Inspired Autonomous Systems
   - Brain-Machine Interfaces
   - Decision-Support and Recommender Systems
   - Ethical Aspects of Human-AI Symbiotic Systems
   - Human-Computer Interaction
   - Human-Autonomy Cooperation and Teaming
   - Human Performance Modeling
   - Human-Machine/Robot Interaction
   - Interaction-Centered Design
   - Intelligent Adaptive Systems
   - Multi-User Interaction
   - Resilience Engineering in Human-AI Symbiotic Systems
   - Team Performance and Training Systems
   - User-AI Agent Interaction
   - User State Monitoring
   - Trust Modeling, Measurement, and Management
   - Virtual and Mixed Reality Systems
   - Wearable Computing
   - Web-based Interactive Systems


*Confirmed and Tentative Special Sessions and Keynote Speakers*
Special Sessions play a crucial role in the success of ICHMS and address
key and timely topics. The following Special Sessions will take place at
ICHMS 2024: (1) Adjustable Human Autonomy Collaboration, (2) Human-Machine
Teaming on the Battlefield, (3) Advancement of Crew Autonomy Enabling
Moon/Mars Surface Exploration Systems, (4) Trustworthy Autonomous Systems,
(5) Human-Machine Teaming for Effective Decision-Making. More details about
these approved Special Sessions can be found at
