CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS
INTERACT 2005: Workshop on the Role and Models of Design Research in HCI
Organized by John Zimmerman, Shelley Evenson, and Konrad Baumann

We are pleased to invite you to participate in a workshop on design
research within HCI.

OVERVIEW
HCI emerged out of discourse and interaction between computer science
and
behavioral science. More recently, however, there has been a growing
interest in the role of design in HCI. As design continues to grow in
importance to the HCI community, it has become clearer how design adds
value to HCI practice. What is less clear is the role of design research
within HCI. The goal of this workshop is to explore the following
questions:
*Is design research being conducting in institutions with a strong HCI
community?
*What models of design research are those institutions finding provide
the
greatest benefit to the HCI community? Are these models of research
different than models of research in design practice?
*Are designers conducting research that does not "ape" the methods of
other
HCI disciplines and provide results that are valuable to the entire HCI
community?
* Is design research always collaborative with other HCI disciplines or
can
it be conducted independently?
*How should design research be documented to best benefit the HCI
community?


SUBMISSIONS
We would like to invite interested participants to submit position
papers
to this workshop on design research in HCI. These positions can address
one
of the questions above or they can detail an experience the participant
has
had in conducting or collaborating on design research within HCI.

Submissions should NOT be anonymous and they should not exceed 6 pages.

To submit, please email a .pdf version of your position papers to
