Abstract: We propose a workshop on the rapidly emerging topic of optimization and computational design in human-computer interaction (HCI). The workshop will tackle the following perspectives: defining and eliciting optimality criteria, optimizing at scale, optimization and user models, optimization for safety, optimization and design practice, optimization and users' perception of performance, and critical perspectives.
