*DEFINITION AND SCOPE*

In hybrid societies, humans and embodied technologies need to coordinate 
efficiently. Hybrid societies arise when embodied digital technologies 
functioning as artificial agents mingle with humans in public 
environments. Imminent examples of embodied technologies interacting 
with humans in public environments are highly automated and driverless 
vehicles mixed with human-driven vehicles and human road-users in 
traffic as well as urban robots for street-cleaning, service, or 
delivery. Coordination of humans with fellow humans in public 
environments is relatively smooth. For interactions in hybrid societies 
to be effective and similarly smooth, human capabilities and 
technological functionalities must be analyzed and harmonized in novel ways.

Coordination in hybrid societies involves perceiving and tracking 
behavior, assessing each other’s capabilities, states, and 
situation-specific intentions in encounters for prediction, implicit and 
explicit communication, and movement planning and control. Coordination 
can be studied at the level of individual encounters and human-machine 
interfaces up to the level of whole socio-technical systems encompassing 
joint activities of human and artificial agents.

The first international Conference on Hybrid Societies is organized by 
the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center Hybrid Societies at 
Chemnitz University of Technology (CRC 1410 Hybrid Societies funded by 
the German Research Foundation), in which a highly interdisciplinary 
group of researchers from psychology and engineering sciences to 
mathematics and computer science to the social sciences and humanities 
address the challenges of shaping the coexistence of humans and machines 
in public environments. For Hybrid Societies 2023, we invite 
contributions that report original novel research findings on 
human-machine interaction in hybrid societies and contributions that 
advance required technological innovations including AR/VR technologies 
for embodiment and simulation. The conference is single-track. The final 
program will be the result of a selective peer-review process based on 
the quality, originality, and relevance of submissions and will include 
presentations of refereed papers and keynote talks. A Best Paper Award 
will be provided to the most outstanding contributions by a committee of 
experts. The conference proceedings will be published in a peer-reviewed 
book by Springer and a selection of extended contributions will be 
invited to be submitted to special issues in renowned international 
scientific journals.


*SUBMISSIONS*

Submissions for oral presentations presenting original and unpublished 
work are solicited on all topics of hybrid societies. Authors may choose 
to submit in either one of two ways.

  * For inclusion in an edited volume (Springer): papers submitted for
    inclusion in a peer reviewed publication should be 5-6 pages in
    length. If accepted, reviewer comments will be sent to allow for
    revision for publication.
  * Short papers not aimed at book publication should not exceed 1,200
    words (including figures, tables, and references). Some short paper
    submissions may be accepted for poster presentation.

All submissions must be written in English, formatted according to APA 
standards.
All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted 
submissions must be presented at the conference (at least one author of 
each submission must register to be included in the program).
Proceedings will be indexed in WoS and SCOPUS.


*IMPORTANT DATES*

Submission Deadline: *July 1, 2022*
Notification of Acceptance: September 15, 2022
Final camera-ready Submission: December 15, 2022
