REMINDER: Deadline for submission of extended abstracts (1000 words): 27th July 2012


Special Issue of the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS) on Human-food interaction: Designing computer systems for food in everyday life



Building on the concerns of CHI2012 workshop Food and Interaction Design, the aim of the special issue is to bring together the many strands of empirical research in the emerging intersection between human-food and human-technology interaction. This special issue focuses on the food practices of everyday life, where individuals eat, cook, grow, shop, share and communicate about food. We identify three broad themes from which we seek high-quality, innovative, and thought provoking research: sustainability; health and wellbeing; social and sensorial experiences surrounding food. We explore how computer systems can be used to raise awareness of and support or change food related practices but also where they can be used to support and elicit creative, intimate, and, playful responses in social environments.



We call for empirical studies of computer systems for the wide variety of food practices in human-food interaction. A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest includes:



- Methods and systems for the capture and probing of food practices

- How technology is used to enhance sensory and experiential aspects of food consumption

- Approaches to evaluating and measuring technological impact in food practices and systems

- Discussions of technologies to facilitate social experiences of food culture

- Culturally specific food practices and related uses of technologies

- Spatial and location-based technologies to help create particular food-related experiences

- Technologies to support small-scale and urban agriculture

- Community engagement strategies surrounding food

- Personalisation and recommendation systems to support food choices

- Systems for increasing food chain transparency

- Playful and creative engagement in food performances



Papers addressing theoretical issues will only be considered where the contribution is exceptional.



Full call and details are available on the IJHCS website (http://goo.gl/IzgP1)
