Faithful data representation is key. While this is universally true for visual analysis, the field of biological data communication has its unique challenges and open questions. Researchers need the right context to interpret data accurately, especially when uncertainties arise from factors like sampling choices or analysis parameters. Simplifying data for wider audiences must still convey its complexity and uncertainty to support informed decisions. This Dagstuhl Seminar will bring together experts in data visualisation and design, researchers, public educators, and journalists to explore methods for embracing and communicating biodata complexity and uncertainty.

When designing and evaluating new interactive systems, we are quick to discourage and reject new technical opportunities that would cause fatigue. This is especially constraining as we design evermore body-based devices and experiences, where, initially, users' arms can feel heavy and sensations of fatigue be more acute. We argue that our simplistic view and avoidance of fatigue discredits opportunities around adaptation, training, optimisation, and the resilience built through expertise and repeated use. Despite advances in wearable and physiological sensing and modelling, there is still much room for developing a more nuanced view of fatigue. From its effects on low-level action-perception loops, through to impacts on decision-making in social-technical systems, to modelling and predicting its onset, development and experiential properties, significant work remains for the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community and beyond. This Dagstuhl Seminar aims to explore the role of fatigue in body-based interactions, bringing together experts from HCI, biomechanics, ergonomics, and cognitive psychology.

The conference will be hosted by the Institute of Reliable Embedded Systems and Communication Electronics (ivESK) of Offenburg (Germany) and organized in collaboration with the Institute of Electronics, Computer and Telecommunication Engineering CNR-IEIIT (Italy).

In 2026, Offenburg University has the great honor of hosting the 22nd International IEEE Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS 2026). The WFCS is the only IEEE conference dedicated specifically to communication for industrial automation systems. It will take place in Offenburg for the first time.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is undergoing a profound epistemological shift. For decades, the field has developed a rich repertoire of research methods informed by its interdisciplinary origins. These methods have enabled HCI researchers to explore phenomena across a wide range of domains—from desktop work environments to everyday life—with approaches that span controlled experiments, ethnographic fieldwork, and design interventions. However, the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI), and particularly generative AI (genAI), into both interactive systems and research workflows is disrupting the foundational assumptions behind these methods. This Dagstuhl Seminar invites participants to examine how HCI research methods must adapt in light of these developments—and what new opportunities and risks this transformation entails.

This Dagstuhl Seminar is relevant to the diverse fields of data management, data engineering, human computation and crowdsourcing, data-driven decision-making, responsible AI, and data governance. The seminar looks at three perspectives: Human, Computational, and Institutional. There is an evident need to bring together perspectives from domain experts who understand the properties and semantics of the datasets (human perspective); from algorithmic advancements that can help improve data quality (computational perspective); and from institutional imperatives including regulations, standards and organizational policies that create necessary safeguards for governance of data pipeline processes (institutional perspective).
