Heritage Inquiries: An ACM DIS 2010 Workshop

Please note NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 7th, 2010.

Call for Participation:

"Heritage Inquiries: A Designerly Approach to Human Values"

August 16-17, 2010

An ACM DIS 2010 Workshop

http://www.dis2010.org/

URL: http://www.engagingexperience.dk/dis2010/

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

This two-day workshop will bring together the interdisciplinary community of scholars and practitioners involved in the design of interactive systems and sharing a common interest in heritage matters.

The role of emerging technologies in the preservation of the things we value is increasingly at the forefront of people’s concerns. As designers of interactive systems, we are asked to better understand what people do and do not value. At the core is the question: what does it mean to be human? This understanding is central to how we design for a changing world [1]. Heritage matters represent a unique domain to explore fundamental human values, including remembering, being a community, and coming together as a society through separate understandings and attachments to artifacts, places and events. Because heritage is lived and practiced within situations that are “personal and yet social,” “private and yet public,” “of the present and yet of the past and the future” [2], such an exploration bears extraordinary opportunities for the future design of interactive systems. While fostering engaging ways for people to interact with heritage objects and matters, it opens up design inquiries that go beyond traditional museological concerns and contribute to basic research in human-centered design.

Through design activities embedded within Aarhus and its surroundings, participants will discuss the theoretical implications of design inquiries in the heritage domain with respect to the future design of interactive systems of social and cultural significance, focusing in particular on issues of everyday engagement. The workshop will also provide a key networking opportunity.

OBJECTIVES

Create an international network of scholars and practitioners engaged in heritage matters within the field of interaction design, elaborate a shared agenda of research themes and design considerations with particular emphasis on issues of everyday engagement in heritage matters.

Discussion of the theoretical implications of design inquiries in the heritage domain with respect to the design of interactive systems of social and cultural significance will address in particular the following questions:

• How can designers inquire into people's engagement in heritage matters?
• How can interactive technology support or even promote the motivation and values underpinning engagement in heritage matters?
• What characterizes heritage experience, and how can we design for it?
• How can interactive technology support the social system of experiences and interpretations that makes the meaning of heritage evolve over time?
• What structures of conversation do we need to designerly put in place to capture and reinforce the dialectical and often impalpable relations between people and their environment?
• How can we design for publics that form and evolve around personal as well as societal heritage matters on the basis of common interests and affinities?

The workshop will also produce several publications, including an edited book.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

The workshop welcomes scholars and practitioners interested in discussing novel design inquiries from both design research and heritage studies. We welcome scholars and practitioners covering a wide range of areas of expertise, including:

• interaction design
• human-computer interaction
• information technology
• anthropology
• sociology
• archaeology
• architecture
• historical studies
• human geography

11th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computer Systems (IHC)

11th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computer Systems (IHC)

in conjunction with

Brazilian Symposium on Multimedia and Web Systems (WebMedia),

Brazilian Symposium on Collaborative Systems (SBCS),

& Brazilian Symposium on Data Base (SBBD)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

October 5-8 2010 - Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil

http://www.sbc.org.br/ihc

Overview

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Brazilian Symposium of Human Factors on Computer Systems (IHC)

is the main forum of the Brazilian Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

community. This symposium brings together researchers, industry

professionals, educators and students of various HCI-related

disciplines, such as Computer Science, Psychology, Ergonomics

and Graphic Design, among others.

The last edition, in 2008, celebrated the 10th anniversary of HCI

events in Brazil. The community discussed the great advances in

this period, the birth of a generation of researchers, the

integration of usability and accessibility subjects into the

governmental technological policies, as well as the awareness of

the industry to the importance of user-centered design practices.

Despite these advances, much remains to be done. Our daily

relations with interactive systems demand deepen studies to

improve this communication. We must not only to research and to

discuss new ways to interact with interactive systems (and all

aspects related to them), but also new forms of interaction from

interactive systems, and especially that these forms should be

effective, efficient and available to everyone.

So we invite the community to attend this year event submitting

work to the various categories and/or attending the event to

discuss the progress and needs of the area.

IHC 2010 is organized in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and it is

supported by Brazilian Computing Society (SBC) and the Federal

University of Minas Gerais (UFMG).

Workshop on THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES - a Challenge for User Involvement in Design

========================================================================

                           Call For Papers

                             Workshop on

THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES - a Challenge for User Involvement in Design

                          17th October 2010

                   at NordiCHI, Reykjavik, Iceland

              Deadline for submissions: 1st August 2010

          Web-page: http://www.cs.au.dk/~olavb/ThStWSNC2010/

========================================================================

Background and Purpose

----------------------

As more and more interactive technologies are used in various

therapeutic fields, such as rehabilitation, home care, chronic disease

care, Psycho theraphy etc, it becomes increasingly important to consider

the possibilities and challenges when end-users, such as patients, are

involved actively in the design process.

We need a better understanding of the asymmetries that occur when

involving designers, therapists/medical professionals and patients in

design, in particular an understanding of the relation between design

activities and therapeutic interventions, and the role of therapeutic

strategies in relation to the process as well as the product. New

methods are needed to answer to these new requirements; to what degree

can we involve users and what ethic and medical considerations have to

be made? Can user involvement in some cases even be harmful for the

users and can we expect less resourceful users to be able to actively

engage in design activities while struggling to overcome e.g. a

life-threatening situation?

Such design situations challenge the basic perspectives of traditional

participatory design because equal dialog and co-determination is not

possible. Still, these users participation can be crucial for the

outcome and letting e.g. a therapist or relative speak on the patients

behalf can be contra-productive.

The workshop will contribute to the discourse on user involvement in

design of technologies in general as well as for therapeutic contexts

specifically, and on quality of life perspectives on ICT. Furthermore,

it will elicit the specifics of new application domains where

therapeutic strategies play an important role.

Structure of the workshop

-------------------------

Accepted submissions are circulated to the participants before the

workshop. The workshop will begin with a brief introduction of the

participants and the submitted work. All participants will bring a

poster representing their work. The posters will be posted in the

plenary room and used as collective memory during the workshop.

The workshop will be conducted based on the submitted papers. The main

part of the day will be spent on thematic discussions, in alternating

formats ranging from plenary discussions to work in small groups. The

organization of this part depends on the submitted works and the number

and combination of participants.

The day will be concluded with a synthesizing session where the

challenges and possibilities of user involvement when designing for

therapeutic strategies and contexts.

The position papers from the workshop will be published as an issue of

one of the organizers university publication series. Depending on the

quality, character and number of submissions, a special issue of a

journal or a book will be produced.

How to participate

------------------

We welcome participants from all parts of HCI and related disciplines,

researchers as well as practitioners, e.g. therapists, nurses, doctors,

who wish to contribute to the establishment of discourse on how

therapeutic strategies may come to play a role in design. The workshop

will accommodate between 8 and 24 participants selected on the basis of

submitted position papers.

We invite workshop papers up to 4 ACM pages long, reporting on recent

experiments, studies of the field and theoretical accounts. We also

invite position papers up to 2 ACM pages stating the submitters'

interest in the field.

ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI11)

We are very pleased to announce the ACM International Conference on

Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI11) Palo Alto, California, USA, February

13-16 2011.

Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) is the premier conference for

reporting on the study of user interfaces with intelligent devices. This

topic is of increasing importance as the consumer is interfacing with a

wide variety of devices with embedded computation and connectivity and

the computer is fading into the background.   IUI is where the community

of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the

Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We're also very interested in

contributions from related fields, such as psychology, cognitive

science, computer graphics, the arts, etc.

Why submit to IUI?

Unlike traditional AI, our focus is not so much to make the computer

smart all by itself, but to make the interaction between computers and

people smarter. Unlike traditional HCI, we're more willing to consider

solutions that involve large amounts of knowledge and emerging

technologies such as natural language understanding, brain computer

interfaces or gesture recognition.

The IUI conference gives you a chance to present and to see work in an

intimate, focused, no-nonsense event. It is large enough to be diverse

and lively (we expect around 200 people), but small enough to avoid the

impersonal atmosphere of conferences with thousands of people.

The vast majority of the attendees are actively involved with conceiving

and developing cutting-edge interfaces leading to a high and fast impact

of research results presented at IUI. It brings together people from

academics, industry, and nonprofits.

As an ACM conference, papers appear in the ACM Digital Library and

citation indices. There will also be a journal publication path for

selected papers. It's a single track conference, so you don't have to

miss anything.

IUI topics include, but are not limited to:

Intelligent Interaction with Devices

Intelligent interactions with handheld devices

Sensor- and actuator systems for user interfaces

Location- and context aware information systems

Tangible interaction with smart artifacts

Ubiquitous displays environments
