ANNOUNCING! ANNOUNCING! ANNOUNCING! ANNOUNCING! ANNOUNCING! -------------------------------------------------------- CHI2002|AIGA Experience Design FORUM CALL FOR PAPERS (submissions due 4 January 2002) -------------------------------------------------------- Organized by SIGCHI and AIGA Experience Design CHI2002, Minneapolis, Minnesota 21-22 April 2002 -------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW AND GOALS: A NEW RELATIONSHIP AND A NEW EVENT AT CHI2002 CHI2002 and AIGA Experience Design would like to invite you to participate in our first co-sponsored event! The FORUM is dedicated to exploring how the knowledge and skills from each community contribute to current thinking and innovations in the world of human-computer interaction and experience design. The FORUM is a special two-day event to take place immediately preceding the CHI2002 technical program. (Participating does not require attendance at other CHI2002 events.) The FORUM will explore the intersections of the SIGCHI and AIGA design communities, including design and evaluation methods and methodologies, philosophy of design, and design artifacts. The program will include well-known speakers from the design community, panels, and in-depth case studies. The FORUM will offer plenty of opportunities to interact with fellow design practitioners of all kinds. -------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSIONS We are seeking case study submissions of recent design projects that represent current thinking and innovations in the world of human-computer interaction. Please download our Call For Papers/submission instructions from: http://www.formandcontent.net/chi2002/forum.htm You can also find information about the FORUM at: http://www.sigchi.org/chi2002/ -------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF THE FORUM We encourage you to submit a case study that describes your work applying human-centered design principles. Suggested design contexts include: Standalone products: * Websites * Software applications * Mobile device interfaces * Specialized applications (e.g. kiosks, web applications, CDi, etc.) * Embedded computing interfaces * Interactive data visualization Communication/collaboration environments: * Pervasive computing * Virtual reality * Multi-channel applications * Interactive television -------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES IN 2002 4 January Submissions due 30 January Acceptance notification 15 February Final submission 21-22 April Presentation at FORUM Review Process: Case study submissions will be reviewed by a joint SIGCHI|AIGA review committee. Authors will receive reviewers' remarks with acceptance results on or after January 30, 2002. Your submission may be accepted for presentation and/or publication as is, or with minor edits. Six case studies will be selected for in-depth presentation at the FORUM. More submissions may be selected for publication. All accepted submissions will be published in the FORUM program, in the ACM Digital Library and the AIGA Experience Design Case Study Archives. Please join us in developing a design literature that accommodates and illustrates a diversity of perspectives on design practice. The communities of practice need this new kind of literature resource. We truly hope you'll consider writing and showing your best work.
