The Chair team participates in COSIT 2024

COSIT (Conference On Spatial Information Theory) takes place in Quebec City from September 17 to 20, 2024.

The Canada Research Chair in Senseable cities for empowered mobilities team is delighted to be actively involved in COSIT (Conference On Spatial Information Theory), taking place from September 17 to 20, 2024 in Quebec City's Old Town. This conference, a reference in the field of spatial cognition and modeling, welcomes geomaticians, geographers, computer scientists and psychologists from a wide variety of backgrounds to discuss common issues related to interactions between humans, environments and technologies. 

In addition to Professor Mostafavi's participation on the conference organizing committee, two presentations will highlight the work of the Chair: 

  • Sanaz Azimi, a doctoral student in the InteractIA project, will give an oral presentation on the relationship between environmental legibility and eye-tracking data for manual wheelchair users.
