CALL FOR PAPERS

OZCHI is the annual conference for the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Ergonomics Society of Australia, and Australia and New Zealand's leading forum for work in all areas of Human-Computer Interaction. OZCHI attracts an international community of researchers and practitioners with a wide range of interests, including human factors and ergonomics, human-computer interaction, information systems, software engineering, artificial intelligence, design, social sciences and management. We look forward to your involvement in the OZCHI conference this year.

TOPICS

We invite contributions on all topics related to Human-Computer Interaction including technical, empirical and theoretical aspects. In keeping with the theme 'New Directions in Interaction: Information Environments, Media and Technology', topics of interest include:

Information Environments
  • Computer mediated communication
  • Computer supported cooperative work
  • Affective user interfaces and emotion
  • Virtual reality and 3-D interfaces


Interaction Design
  • User studies and fieldwork including ethnographic methods
  • Analysis and design methods including task and interaction modelling, scenarios, storyboards
  • Participatory design and cooperative design techniques
  • Methods for incorporating user and cognitive models into design processes


New Technology
  • Ubiquitous computing and smart environments
  • Augmented reality and tangible interfaces
  • Context-aware computing
  • Novel input and interaction technologies including speech I/O and tactile input technologies


PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Full-length papers on original and substantive new work in any area of Human-Computer Interaction are invited.
  • Research papers should describe work that makes a significant contribution to the state of the art.
  • Experience papers should describe broad insights gained from practical applications of HCI.


All papers will be subject to a double blind review process by an international panel and evaluated on the basis of their significance, originality, and clarity of writing. Accepted papers will be available in the published proceedings. For guidelines and submission details see the conference web site:

Tutorials are one day, or half day events designed to offer a small number of participants the opportunity to learn about specific HCI related concepts, methods and techniques. We welcome both research and industry tutorial submissions.
Tutorial proposals should be submitted by 13 June 2003.

Workshops are one day, or half day, events at which participants explore particular research topics. A workshop should have specific objectives, raise stimulating issues, and aim to report its activity as a conference poster or subsequent publication.
Workshop proposals should be submitted by 13 June 2003.

Short papers and postersShort papers and posters provide the opportunity to describe new work or work that is still in progress. Poster sessions provide an interactive forum in which authors can present work to conference attendees while short papers are presented as a 15 minute seminar.
Short paper and posters should be submitted by 15 August 2003.

Demonstrations and videos of original applications and technologies are encouraged. Peer reviewed demonstrations and videos show early implementations of novel, interesting, and important interaction concepts or interface systems. They can also serve to showcase commercial products not previously described in the research literature.
Descriptions of demonstrations and videos should be submitted by 15 August 2003.

Doctoral colloquium offers PhD students a special forum where they will have a chance to present their research plans and discuss them with peers and established senior researchers.

Submit applications by 15 August 2003.
