Abstract	It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd ACM International Workshop on Human-Centered Computing (HCC 2008). Human-Centered Computing (HCC) lies at the crossroads of multiple disciplines and research areas that are concerned both with understanding human beings and with the design of computational methods. Researchers and designers of HCC methods and systems include engineers, scholars in psychology, cognitive science, sociology, and graphic designers, among others. Research in HCC deals with understanding humans, both as individuals and in social groups, by focusing on the ways that human beings adopt, adapt, and organize their lives around computational technologies, and on how the development of computational technologies can be informed by human aspects (culture, social setting, human abilities, etc.). Human-Centered Computing addresses problems that the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) does not generally address. In HCC the focus is not only on interaction, but also on the design of algorithms and systems with a human focus from start to finish. This year's workshop builds on the discussions on the previous workshops on this topic held with ACM Multimedia 2007 and 2006. This multidisciplinary workshop focused on the multimedia aspects of HCC, particularly on discussing theoretical frameworks, technical approaches and applications, challenges, research opportunities, and open issues in three areas: multimedia interaction, content analysis, and content production. One of the goals of the workshop is to explore HCC and the radical ways in which it can revolutionize computing. The call for papers attracted 15 submissions from Asia, Europe, and North America. The program committee accepted 11 papers that cover a wide variety of topics within HCC. Besides these presentations, we are proud to have an invited presentation given by Professor Angela Sasse from University College London, UK. Our intention was to have a highly interactive workshop, with minimum time for presentation and maximum time for interaction. Attendees will be divided into small groups. A particular scenario will be given, such as the one described in Marc Weisers pioneering article, "The Computer for the 21st Century" (http://www.ubiq.com/hypertext/weiser/SciAmDraft3.html). Each group will be given a task (e.g., model context, design a system, etc.) and will be asked to identify the core HCC methods, techniques or processes needed to realize the task. Groups with similar tasks will compare notes and "defend" their findings in front of the other groups. We hope in this way to steer interesting discussions and to bring a new light into the HCC research challenges and future development.
