Call for papers
---------------------------------------
The 8th Annual ACM SIGCHI_NZ conference on Computer-Human Interaction
will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners involved with
Human Computer Interaction in New Zealand or other parts of the world.
The aim of this symposium is to bring together people interested in HCI,
to allow them to exchange views, share experiences, and learn from one
another. We welcome full length research papers in all areas of HCI, as
well as work-in-progress, case-studies, industrial perspectives, student
work and system demonstrations. In particular, we strongly encourage
submissions by academics and practitioners involved in computer graphic
design and research, on the topics of its applications or implications
for human-computer interaction and user interface design.


Important dates
---------------------------------------
30 March 2007 all submissions due
4 May 2007 response to authors
25 May 2007 final submissions due


Submissions
---------------------------------------
Full paper submissions are invited in all areas of Computer-Human
Interaction. We also welcome proposals for posters and system
demonstrations. Submissions should report original work, and will be
reviewed. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference, published
in the conference proceedings, and the ACM Digital Library. Papers
should be no more than 8 pages in length. Details of the required format
and submission process are available on the conference website.

The conference will also include a two-day HCI graduate students’
workshop. There is likely to be some limited funding available to assist
selected students in attending this workshop and the conference.
Students interested in attending the workshop are required to submit a
one-page summary of their research by the due date for conference
submissions. Further details on this workshop will be available on the
conference website.

Workshop proposals are also invited for consideration. We encourage
half-day workshops on HCI or computer graphic design topics, which are
suitable for academics and practitioners. A two-page proposal, including
information on the workshop’s topic, abstract, and intended audience
should be submitted by the due date.


Programme
---------------------------------------
The conference will take place over four days. The graduate students’
workshop and the general workshops will be held on 1-2 July. This will
be followed by the technical paper sessions and invited talks on 3-4 July.
