HBKU’s CSE to highlight digital enrichment at international conference 06 Apr 2021 - 7:46 The Peninsula Doha: Highlighting its interdisciplinary thought leadership in the field of information and computing technology, the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) has partnered with Bournemouth University, UK, to co-sponsor the 16th International Conference on Persuasive Technologies (PT2021), taking place from April 12 to 14. A virtual PT2021 will bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to explore various topics related to persuasive technology, particularly how it can enrich lives in domains such as health, sustainability, education, and well-being. Keynote speeches, paper sessions, workshops, panel discussions, and poster sessions will amplify current thinking in this interdisciplinary field, which focuses on technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes and/or behaviors through informed persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. Interdisciplinary and open to anyone with an interest in the subject, the conference scope extends to the design, development, and evaluation of these technologies, and speakers will highlight behavior change support systems, artificial intelligence for persuasive technology, gamification, privacy, and trust, among a host of other areas.
