Call for Participation
"HCI & IA:
Information, Interaction, Interface and Usability Architects
Share Deliverables"
A workshop at CHI 2002, April 22, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Organizers: Keith Instone, Lisa Chan, Peter Boersma, George Olsen
http://keith.instone.org/hci-ia-chi2002/
About the workshop
------------------
How does what information architects do compare with what other HCI
practitioners do? This workshop will let various "architects"
(information, interaction, interface and usability) share their
deliverables to help us understand the relationship between HCI and
information architecture.
Typical IA deliverables include: flowcharts, wire frames, sitemaps,
prototypes, use cases, card sorts, content inventories, client audits,
site hierarchies, conceptual diagrams, storyboards, requirements &
narratives, blueprints, screen schematics, labeling schemes, and
outlines.
During the workshop we will discuss themes that cut across the
deliverables (such as type of document, audience, lifecycle stage). We
will also address some of the larger issues around HCI and IA, such as
skill overlaps and gaps, IA beyond web sites, and "design" vs.
"architecture".
Position Papers
---------------
Interested participants must fill out the workshop application form
(available from http://keith.instone.org/hci-ia-chi2002/) and specify
what type of architect (or designer) they are. Participants must also
submit several sample deliverables in order to be considered for the
workshop. The deliverables have to be "publicly shareable" - submitters
can use actual deliverables or create "sanitized" versions that can be
publicly displayed during and after the workshop.
Forms should be emailed in plain text and deliverables should be
attached, preferably in PDF.
All application materials should be sent to Peter Boersma
([log in to unmask]).
Selection
---------
Participants will be selected based on several criteria, including the
diversity of their backgrounds. Accepted participants will be expected
to become familiar with the other participants deliverables before the
workshop. Selected participants will also be asked to report on themes
that cut across the set of deliverables.
