Workshop on Algorithmic Behavior Change Support

To increase the effectiveness of behavior change applications, a large variety of algorithms has been developed to adapt what the applications offer, when, how, and with whom. Given the multitude of challenges related to the concept of algorithmic behavior change support, its development, evaluation, and impact on behavior change, this workshop aims to strengthen the community of people with diverse backgrounds (e.g., computer science, psychology, human-computer interaction) and roles in behavior change support (e.g., researcher, designer, practitioner). Combining keynotes of leading researchers with sessions in which individual workshop participants present their work and discuss problems with the audience, the workshop encouraged a lively exchange of ideas that benefits current and future research on algorithmic behavior change support.
