OVERVIEW
--------
Due to recent technological advances, it has become possible to
integrate sensor and actuator technologies as well as wireless
communication in everyday objects and environments. These developments
open up a huge amount of innovative interaction scenarios, involving
new forms of user interfaces. One kind that enables intuitive and
natural interaction is tangible user interfaces, referring to
interfaces in which persons interact with digital information through
the physical environment. Tangible user interfaces are not limited to
the interactions of a single person, but can be used to support
interaction within - even dislocated - groups and smart artefacts.
Motivated by these developments, we see this workshop as an opportunity
for exploring the potentials and perspectives of tangible interaction
for supporting collaborative work. Because of its interdisciplinary
topic, TICE 2006 aims at bringing together researchers of various
fields, including Human Computer Interaction, Tangible User Interfaces,
Computer Supported Collaborative Work, Sociology, Communication
Technologies, Embedded Systems and Ubiquitous Computing, to discuss key
issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications, and trends
of tangible interaction in collaborative environments.
TOPICS
------
We welcome participants from all disciplines related to the topic of
this workshop, including but not limited to Tangible User Interfaces,
CSCW and Ubiquitous Computing environments. We invite original research
papers and experience reports in all areas of collaborative methods and
systems development. Additionally, position papers outlining novel
research domains and approaches are welcome. Topics of interest include
but are not limited to:
Interaction design of collaborative tangible environments
* Design process for embodied/tangible interaction
* Guidelines, methods and methodologies for collaborative
interaction design
* Concepts and patterns for physical and tangible interaction
* Programming paradigms for building tangible environments
* New paradigms for collaborative environments
Technological aspects of tangible user interfaces
* Middleware, platforms and tools
* Architectural concepts for enhancing tangible interaction in
groups
* Enabling technologies for instrumenting tangible artefacts
* Innovative technological solutions
Case studies and application scenarios
* Usability studies and evaluations of collaborative tangible
environments
* Visions and application scenarios
* Security, privacy and trust in collaborative tangible environments
* Collaborative tangible interaction for mobile users
DEADLINES AND DATES
-------------------
February 10, 2006: Deadline for paper submission
April 7, 2006: Decision to paper authors
May 5, 2006: Camera-ready papers
May 12, 2006: Advance registration discount deadline
June 26-28, 2006: WETICE-2006 workshops and on-site registration
SUBMISSION DETAILS
------------------
Papers must be written in English, and they should not exceed 6 pages
double column, including references, figures and tables. Papers must be
formatted according to the IEEE formatting instructions (8.5"x11",
two-column). The papers have to contain original contributions not
published or submitted elsewhere, and references to related
state-of-the-art work. Papers should include a title, the name and
affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words and no more
than eight keywords.
Each paper will receive at least three anonymous peer reviews by
program committee members or additional expert reviewers. The accepted
papers and a summary report of this workshop will be published in the
post-conference proceedings and directly mailed to the registered
authors by the IEEE Computer Society Press after the conference. In
order to get an accepted paper published in the proceedings, at least
one author has to register and present the paper at WETICE 2006. If
enough high-quality papers are submitted, we will contact a journal to
explore the possibility of a special issue.
Please submit anonymized papers in either PDF or PS format via the TICE
2006 submission website. If you have further questions or remarks,
please do not hesitate to contact the workshop organizers.
