Welcome Note from the Poster/Demo Chairs<br />

It is with great pleasure that we have the opportunity to present the adjunct proceedings of the Third<br />

International Conference on <strong>Automotive</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Interfaces</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Interactive</strong> <strong>Vehicular</strong> <strong>Applications</strong> (<strong>Automotive</strong>UI<br />

’11, http://auto-ui.org). Building on the success of the previous conferences, this conference is<br />

becoming the renowned international forum for the dissemination <strong>and</strong> exchange of up-to-date scientific<br />

information on theoretical <strong>and</strong> practical areas of Human-Computer Interaction in the context of cars.<br />

This year, the poster <strong>and</strong> interactive demo session is being held on the second day of the conference<br />

(December 1st, afternoon) at the ICT&S Center, University of Salzburg. The adjunct proceedings are<br />

published on the conference website <strong>and</strong> are provided on your thumb drive.<br />

Many people have devoted considerable time in reviewing <strong>and</strong> selecting those pieces of work which<br />

will be presented here. The poster <strong>and</strong> interactive demo program addresses diverse human-computer<br />

interaction issues in the context of cars, including new interactive apps, devices, toolkits <strong>and</strong> metaphor<br />

use, research <strong>and</strong> design process, methodologies, <strong>and</strong> tools appropriate for this domain, as well as studies<br />

that improve our underst<strong>and</strong>ing of special populations (e. g., drivers in road rage or drivers with traumatic<br />

brain injury). We have embraced all of these topics in the hope to foster a new community which aspires<br />

a recurring annual gathering on automotive user interfaces <strong>and</strong> interactive vehicular applications. In<br />

addition, we have combined many of the experiential aspects of the conference such as one minute<br />

madness for the poster session, interactive demonstrations, <strong>and</strong> exhibits. We expect that the poster <strong>and</strong><br />

interactive demo session will be more alive than ever with these various new attempts.<br />

We encourage you to come to our poster <strong>and</strong> interactive demo session <strong>and</strong> have fruitful discussions<br />

with researchers <strong>and</strong> practitioners from all over the world. Don’t miss the ever-popular “one minute<br />

madness”, where all Poster/Demo authors will be lined up for a rapid fire, 60-second opportunity to urge<br />

attendees to visit them <strong>and</strong> learn about their work during the reception. The poster session chair, Albrecht<br />

Schmidt, will strictly enforce the one minute time limit for each presentation. We have heard that he has<br />

been hard at work devising an effective way to signal the end of a one minute time slot – we’ll have to<br />

wait until the session to find out what he will choose in the end. . .<br />

We would like to thank each <strong>and</strong> every one of you for your valuable contribution towards the success<br />

of this conference, especially the poster <strong>and</strong> interactive demo session, <strong>and</strong> to wish you a professionally<br />

rewarding <strong>and</strong> socially enjoyable stay in Salzburg. Enjoy the spirit of Salzburg!<br />
