Call for Papers - INTERACT 2019 Workshop on
Designing for Aging People (DEAP 2019)

About the Workshop
––––––––––––––––––--
Most existing design practices either do not specifically target the
needs of aging people, or only consider their needs from a negative
perspective, often as design “problems” that need to be “solved”.
However, with the ever-increasing aging world population, it is becoming
even more important to better design for older people, taking their
wants, needs, desires, and expectations into account as the underlying
basis for design.
Amongst other issues that need to be addressed, this also requires
modifying current design practices, including commonly used design
methodologies, to make them more effective for targeting aging user
populations.
Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers,
designers, and developers interested in the design, development,
evaluation, and deployment of digital products, technologies, tool, and
services for aging people. The workshop will provide a venue for sharing
experiences from different perspectives through presentations,
discussions, and a hands-on design activity to provide innovative ideas
for future directions in designing for aging people.
This workshop follows on from a successful previous workshop (DEAP
2018), which was held as part of the IFIP International Conference on
Entertainment Computing (IFIP-ICEC 2018). We have now broadened the
scope of this workshop to include all aspects of designing for aging people.
Call for Participation
––––––––––––––––––––-
We invite design researchers and practitioners from related backgrounds
to submit their papers reporting their contributions to the topics of
the workshop. Topics of interest cover the processes of ideation,
design, prototyping, development, evaluation, and deployment of digital
products, technologies, tool, and services. We seek submissions related
to the following areas, as well as others:
- Critical, speculative, participatory, or any other novel
approaches to design.
- Innovative approaches to the design, development, evaluation, and
deployment.
- Examples and case studies of deployment and use.
- Acceptability and adoption.
- Community- and user-led innovations.
- Design without agism.
- Design and ethics.
Workshop papers should be no more than 6 pages long, and prepared
according to the Springer format for the CS Proceedings and other
Multiauthor Volumes (templates at
http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Workshop submissions should be made via Easychair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=deap2019).
The workshop program committee will review the submitted papers, and
select around 10 papers for presentation at the workshop based on their
quality and relevance to the workshop topics.
Depending on space availability, other interested attendees of the
INTERACT conference without a position paper would also be welcome to
join the workshop.
Workshop Structure
––––––––––––––––––--
This workshop is structured to be engaging, practical, hands-on, and
participatory in its approach. It will include plenty of time for
interactions, discussions and exchanges of ideas — leading to concrete
outcomes for its participants. The workshop will achieve this through
the inclusion of:
- Short presentations of the accepted papers.
- A follow-up interactive session to allow further discussions.
- A collaborative design activity to explore novel approaches to
design ideation.
- Creation of a short video for the INTERACT conference to showcase
the experience of taking part in this collaborative design activity.
- Concluding discussions and planning of future directions and
outcomes.
Expected Outcome and Dissemination
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––---
The accepted workshop papers will be published in the adjunct conference
proceedings of INTERACT 2019. In addition, through a planned discussion
session at the workshop, we will investigate potential future outcomes.
These may include a special issue of an international journal and/or a
co-authored report for dissemination of the workshop findings. We will
also use the workshop website for publicizing its aims and objectives,
as well as disseminating its outcomes.
Important Dates
–––––––––––––––-
Paper submission deadline: 14 April 2019
Notification of acceptance: 12 May 2019
Camera-ready version: 2 June 2019
Workshop date: 3 September 2019
