Nov 2009. In both rounds teams of 2-5 students are invited to develop  
a solution for a state-of-the-art research problem acquiring

CONFERENCE THEME

The 2009 conference theme is Design: Open 24/7. Accessibility,  
inclusivity and dissolving boundaries are core to the Open 24/7 theme  
for the design of human interaction with and through digital  
technologies. The integration of digital technologies into our  
everyday life allows for a seamless transitioning between open and  
closed, work and leisure, public and private. Open implies  
participation and collaboration across traditional borders between  
individuals, organisations and disciplines. OZCHI 2009 provides a  
forum to discuss all aspects of openness, open borders, open  
participation, open source and open architecture. Theme-related  
submissions may address these topics:

..  Open always-on real-time ubiquitous and pervasive designs
..  Open design and universality versus situatedness,  
contextualisation and personalisation
..  Open source for design – design for open source
..  Open mind – new ideas, concepts and approaches from outside HCI
..  Beyond open – never closed: design for escapism


CONFERENCE TOPICS

Submissions in all areas of HCI are encouraged. In addition, we  
particularly invite authors to address any of the following topics:   
Augmented Reality  |  Context and Location Awareness  |  Education and  
HCI  |  Health Care and HCI  |  Innovative Design Methodologies  |   
Smart Service Delivery  |  Sustainability  |  Universal Usability and  
Accessibility  |  Urban Informatics  |  Tangible User Interfaces  |   
Visualisation Techniques  |  Working across Cultures
