Challenges and Potential Solutions"
DIS 2014 Workshop  --  Vancouver, Canada, June 22, 2014  --  
http://rizzo.media.unisi.it/SSTs_DIS2014)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one-day workshop will be held as part of the DIS 2014 Conference  
on Designing Interactive Systems (Vancouver, Canada, June 21-25, 2014;  
http://dis2014.iat.sfu.ca/)


IMPORTANT DATES:
- Submission by: March 2, 2014
- Notification of Acceptance: March 31, 2014
- Workshop: June 22, 2014

THEME AND AIMS OF THE WORKSHOP
Proliferation of self-service technologies is a hallmark of the modern  
society. Increasingly often our interaction with service-providing  
people, such as sales assistants, cashiers, bank tellers, hotel  
receptionists, and so forth, is replaced by interaction with various  
service-providing technologies: from simple devices to complex  
configurations of technological artifacts. Arguably, self-service  
technologies have far-reaching, and not yet properly understood,  
implications for individuals and society, and ample evidence suggests  
that interaction with self-service technologies can be confusing and  
frustrating, especially for certain categories of users. Therefore,  
there is a need for more focused and systematic interaction design  
explorations into self-service technologies.

This one-day workshop will bring together researchers and  
practitioners interested in analysis, design, and evaluation of  
self-service technologies to collectively identify key issues and  
explore potential approaches in this increasingly important sub-area  
of interaction design.

SUBMISSIONS
We invite the submission of position papers, 2-4 pages in the ACM  
Extended Abstract format (http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/format)  
offering perspectives on interaction design of self-service  
technologies.  Each position paper is expected to include a  
description and discussion of a particular case of self-service  
technology. At least one author of each accepted position paper must  
attend the workshop.

Submissions should be made by email to vklinin (at) informatik.umu.se  
and rizzo (at) unisi.it by *March 2, 2014*.

All workshop participants must register for both the workshop and at  
least one day of the main conference.

conference (DIS 2012) workshop & conference pricing:
