The Human-Machine Commu­ni­ca­tion Inter­est Group supports and promotes schol­ar­ship regard­ing commu­ni­ca­tion between people and tech­nolo­gies designed to enact the role of commu­ni­ca­tors (i.e., arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI), robots, digi­tal assis­tants, smart and Inter­net of Things (IoT) devices). HMC encom­pass­es research with­in Human-Comput­er Inter­ac­tion (HCI), Human-Robot Inter­ac­tion (HRI), and Human-Agent Inter­ac­tion (HAI) and relat­ed areas of study focused on how people make sense of machines as commu­ni­ca­tors; the impli­ca­tions of people’s inter­ac­tions with commu­nica­tive tech­nol­o­gy for indi­vid­u­als, orga­ni­za­tions, and soci­ety; and the philo­soph­i­cal and crit­i­cal critique of the design of these tech­nolo­gies and their inte­gra­tion into daily life. HMC also includes the study of the discourse surround­ing commu­nica­tive tech­nolo­gies and people’s commu­ni­ca­tion with them. The HMC Inter­est Group is inclu­sive of the differ­ent theo­ret­i­cal and method­olog­i­cal approach­es in commu­ni­ca­tion research.

HMC SCHOLARS E‑MAIL LIST
[email protected]

The list address­es inter­na­tion­al schol­ars inter­est­ed in human-machine commu­ni­ca­tion (HMC), or the study of commu­ni­ca­tion with a host of tech­nolo­gies, includ­ing HCI, HAI, and HRI. The purpose of this list is to share announce­ments rele­vant to the commu­ni­ty includ­ing CfPs for confer­ences and publications.

HMC JOURNAL
https://stars.library.ucf.edu/hmc

Designed as an inter­na­tion­al, inter­dis­ci­pli­nary hub, Human-Machine Commu­ni­ca­tion will publish high-impact schol­ar­ship exam­in­ing human-machine commu­ni­ca­tion from a breadth of method­olog­i­cal, theo­ret­i­cal, and philosophical/critical angles to bring further visi­bil­i­ty, legit­i­ma­cy, and commu­ni­ty to this newly emer­gent locus of schol­ar­ly and public inter­est. The jour­nal is the result of collec­tive orga­niz­ing around recent pre-confer­ences and work­shops at the Inter­na­tion­al Commu­ni­ca­tion Asso­ci­a­tion (ICA), Asso­ci­a­tion of Inter­net Researchers (AoIR), and ACM/IEEE Inter­na­tion­al Confer­ence on Human-Robot Inter­ac­tion (HRI). It is clear there is tremen­dous schol­ar­ly ener­gy converg­ing around this topic matter.
