IWIPS 2005 Call for Papers
7th Annual International Workshop on Internationalisation of Products
and Systems (IWIPS 2005) Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 7-9 July
We are seeking paper submissions on the topics of localisation and
globalisation, which focus on this year's IWIPS theme: Bridging Cultural
Diversity. The objective of the 2005 theme is to focus on the
possibilities for technological products to facilitate solutions to
problems encountered as a result of cultural diversity. The emphasis of
this year's conference is on practical issues and solutions in
international product development, as well as on knowledge sharing of
cutting edge research in this area.
Paper Submission Deadline: The deadline for paper submissions will be
February 1, 2005. Please visit www.iwips.org for submission details and
guidelines.
Submission Topics
Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
*The influence of culture on user requirements and behaviour
*Networked communities: Culture and Computer Mediated Communication
*Addressing local issues: Can technology overcome cultural boundaries?
*Mobile devices: Issues concerning international and local use
*Adaptive interfaces: Adapting for culture
*Methodologies and best practices in international product development
beyond translation
*Cross-cultural user research: Findings and innovative methods
*Theory, methods, and assessment techniques for international product
and system evaluation.
Review Criteria
All submissions will enter a blind peer-review process, and will be
reviewed by at least two qualified referees. Papers will be assessed
according to the following criteria:
*Contribution to the field. The paper must make a clear contribution to
the audience addressed. Papers with one significant contribution are
more likely to be accepted than papers with numerous, lesser
contributions.
*Validity of results. The results presented in the paper must be
provided with clear evidence, including the study's methodology, in a
way that the reader can understand with confidence.
*Originality of the work. Previously published work on which the paper
is built must be cited. The paper must make a clear presentation of
prior research, and describe in which way, where and why the submitted
paper exceeds earlier efforts.
*Clarity of presentation. The paper must be written according to the
format guidelines as well as clearly and concisely, with an appropriate
use of graphical aids. (Colour illustrations are discouraged, as are
screenshots of Web pages.) Authors should keep in mind that English will
not be the first language of some readers. Simplicity and the use of a
limited, basic vocabulary is recommended.
If you have any further questions please visit the www.iwips.org website
or email the paper reviews chair Elisa del Galdo
([log in to unmask]) or conference chairs Vanessa Evers
([log in to unmask]) and Floor Arts ([log in to unmask]).
