SUMMARY:Ellen Yi-Luen Do (Georgia Tech) - Design Computing and Intuitive 
 Interfaces
CREATED:20070823T120000Z
DESCRIPTION:AbstractDesign and Human-Computer Interaction are crucial com
 ponents of information technologies in daily life and they color our exp
 erience ofcomputation and communication. The age of ubiquitous/pervasive
 /ambientcomputing is upon us. What does this mean to us when we have com
 putingwithout computers\, where information processing has diffused into
  everydaylife\, and virtually become invisible?Over the years Ellen have
  been working in a collaborative andinterdisciplinary research studio ai
 med at fostering and developing ideasthat will shape the future of desig
 n. Her work crosses the boundaries ofdesign and human-computer interacti
 on\, cognitive science and studies ofdesign. She will discuss recent wor
 k in building intelligent tools for designand HCI\, including freehand s
 ketching and other 'intuitive' interactionmodes\, and computationally au
 gmented artifacts and environments. Ellen iscommitted to building better
  design tools\, from understanding thehuman intelligence involved in the
  design process and leading to theimprovement of the interface with comp
 uters. Her research explores newmodalities of communication\, collaborat
 ion\, and coordination\, as well asthe physical and virtual worlds that 
 push the current boundaries ofcomputing environments for design.About th
 e SpeaekerEllen Yi-Luen Do is an associate professor in the College of A
 rchitectureand the College of Computing at Georgia Institue of Technolog
 y\, anddirector of a design computing and cognition lab called ACME Crea
 tivityMachine Environment (ACME Lab). Before joining Georgia Tech\, she 
 was afaculty at Carnegie Mellon University (04-05) where she co-directed
  theComputational Design Lab\, and on the faculty at University of Washi
 ngton(99-04) where she co-directed the Design Machine Group\, and served
  asFaculty Advisor for the MS program in Design Computing\, and theUnive
 rsity's Honors Program.She worked on the development of computer aided d
 esign tools to supportfreehand drawing as an interface to knowledge base
 d tools. She hasconducted empirical studies of design drawing and constr
 ucted computersoftware to integrate knowledge based applications with fr
 eehand drawing.She has also worked in the areas of computer based visual
  analysis tools.For more info\, visit http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~ellendo
