CALL FOR PAPERS
International Conference on Human Factors in Computing & Informatics (SouthCHI 2013)
http://southchi.org
July 1 - 3, 2013 in Maribor, Slovenia, Europe,
European Capital of Culture
Organized by University of Maribor
in cooperation with ACM Slovenia and IEEE Slovenia

SUMMARY AND THEME
-----------------------------------------------------------
The field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has been extremely successful in the last thirty years, changing computing to the benefit of end users. Advanced mobile, ubiquitous and pervasive computing have dramatically changed the way we interact with information, making human factors an essential part of computer science and informatics in all areas of our daily life. As a complement to the successful NordiCHI series of conferences, which take place in the even years in Northern Europe, SouthCHI, a new to-be-launched series of conferences focusing on every aspect of HCI and addressing participants mainly from Southern Europe, starts with its first issue in July 2013. Like NordiCHI, SouthCHI will also be a biannual event, being organized in the odd years, and will visit South European countries.
The venue of SouthCHI 2013 is Maribor, Slovenia, a city located just 40 miles south of Graz, Austria. Maribor is the European Capital of Culture 2012, with the cultural capital project going until the end of June 2013, hence SouthCHI will be its very final celebration. In this occasion, South CHI will be also supported by ACM Slovenia and Slovenian Chapter of IEEE Education Society.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
-----------------------------------------------------------
SouthCHI accepts papers describing results of original research performed in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), which emphasize new developments. Papers should present significant contributions to research and practice in all areas of Human-Computer Interaction. Authors are invited to submit complete papers which are neither published nor under review elsewhere. The specific topics embraced by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following ones:
- all aspects of Human Factors, Human-Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering and
- Media Communication.
Accepted submissions, which are to be presented at the conference, encompass the following categories: full papers, short papers, posters, demos, videos and papers for the doctoral consortium. Suggestions regarding demonstrations, videos and workshop are welcome, as well as organization of special sessions.
-----------------------------------------------------------
PUBLICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------
All submissions will be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers from SouthCHI programme committee and selected reviewers. Accepted contributions will be printed in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series published by Springer (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs) and indexed in Thomson Reuters Citation Index (http://thomsonreuters.com/products_services/science/science_products/a-z/isi_web_of_knowledge/).
