Call for Papers
HCI researchers, students and practitioners are invited to participate in I-HCI 2009, a two-day conference to be held at Trinity College Dublin on the 17th and 18th of September. The conference will include long and short papers from practitioners and researchers along with new tracks and events for the 2009 conference.
Broadly HCI is interested in augmenting human activity and enriching experience. As the Irish HCI community is evolving there will not be a specific theme for I-HCI 2009 but instead we aim to develop targeted pre-conference thematic workshops based on our common interests. While retaining its grounding in the sciences of computing, usability and interaction, HCI now also draws its insights, influences, and challenges from creative, critical discourses in the social sciences, arts and humanities.
Papers in any area of HCI are welcome and encouraged. Submissions should report original work that has not been previously published. Contributions that advance the theory or practice of any aspect of HCI are welcome. This includes for example theoretical papers, practice case studies, empirical evaluation and methodological work.
Topics of interest include
- Collaborative System UIs
- Computer-Mediated Communication and Online Communities
- Design Methods
- End-User Programming and Adaptation
- Ethnography and design-oriented fieldwork
- Evaluation Methods
- Human-Centered software engineering
- Hypermedia and Web Design and Usability
- Intelligent User Interfaces and User Modeling
- Location-aware Interaction
- Ubiquitous and Context-Aware Computing
- Speech and Natural Language
- Information visualisation
Special topics of interest include
- Human Factors in Health Care Informatics
- Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing in the wild
- Evaluation Methods suitable for study in home, workplace and mobile settings.
Both Full and Short Papers will be considered for presentation at the conference. For example, if you want to report work in progress or an interesting idea that is not yet fully developed, you may prefer to submit a Short Paper. When published in the proceedings, Full Papers will be 8 pages long and Short Papers will be four pages long. Some short papers may be invited to expand upon the work into a full paper. We aim to report on an acceptance rate for both short and long papers separately. Students are encouraged to submit short papers (max. 4 pages) for the Student Papers session. The conference proceedings will contain all papers, Full, Short and Student, and will be published with an ISBN.
If you would like to present a paper at the conference, please submit initially a 1,000 word abstract. When making your submission, you should clearly indicate whether you intend to submit a a Full, Short or Student paper. For more details on how to format and submit your contribution, please see these instructions for authors.
