CALL FOR PAPERS: * Human Work Interaction Design (HWID): Design for
Challenging Work Environments *
in conjunction with INTERACT 2015
September 14th, 2015
Bamberg, Germany
http://projects.hci.sbg.ac.at/hwid2015
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPIC:
This one-day workshop aims to contribute to the goals of the IFIP 13.6
Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) working group, i.e., to establish
relationships between empirical work-domain studies and recent
developments in interaction design. This goal translates to the workshop
by focusing on work environments that are challenging for research and
design; from physically or spatially unusual workplaces (e.g., oil
platforms), mentally demanding or specifically boring work (e.g.,
control rooms, academics) to challenging social situations at work
(e.g., in hospitals). The workshop aims to discuss resulting constraints
for research and design, e.g., restricted access for research, or
difficulties in articulating the specifics of the workplaces to a wider
audience that is not familiar with them. Some work environments may even
impede forms of design research, e.g., critical or provocative design
will be hard to carry out in safety- or efficiency-critical workplaces.
Thus, ways to generate knowledge addressing the design of interactive
artifacts for challenging workplaces will be discussed.
PARTICIPATION:
We invite participants from industry, academia and design practice, who
have experienced challenging work environments, to discuss how they
dealt with them, either in research or design. We seek participants with
an interest in empirical work analysis, HCI, interaction design, or user
experience in workplaces. Topics that participants may want to
contribute include (but are not limited to):
• Empirical studies of/in challenging work environments (e.g., based on
the HWID framework)
• Interaction design for and in challenging work environments
• Benefits and hindrances for research and design
• Theories for and reflections upon interaction design for challenging
work settings
SUBMISSION:
In order to participate in the workshop, 4-6 page position papers
(University of Bamberg Press Format
(http://www.interact2015.org/files/UBP_Word_Template.zip) should be
submitted via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hwidinteract2015). The papers
will be reviewed by the workshop organizers and selected upon relevance
towards the workshop topic and their potential to contribute to discussions.
Accepted submissions will be published in the official adjunct
proceedings at the University of Bamberg Press.
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Research and design challenges of work environments (from physically or
spatially unusual workplaces, mentally demanding or specifically boring
work, to challenging social work situations) will be collected,
consolidated and suggestions for how to address them will be
established. As follow up of the workshop, an interactions magazine
paper is planned that summarizes the contributions in order to create
awareness for research on and design (practice) for workplace
interactions and extended versions of selected papers will be invited
for a special issue in a journal.
