Description

As HCI research engages with the new interaction paradigms of mobile, pervasive and ambient computing, new challenges for user-centred interaction design arise. This one-day workshop will bring together a multidisciplinary group of practitioners in order to share experiences, explore foundations, and discuss an agenda for research in space, place and the experience of pervasive and ambient technology.

Issues of interest to the workshop include but are not limited to:

• Theories and conceptual frameworks for analysing space, place and the contextualisation of interaction with embedded systems
• Place, non-place and interaction spaces
• Methods, tools and techniques for the experience-centred design of emplaced technology
• Case studies in the design and use of ambient and pervasive technologies.

We encourage participation from a wide range of disciplines and practitioners including HCI, interaction design, architecture, product design, computer science, psychology, social sciences, cultural and media studies.

All participants are invited to submit a 2-4 page position paper. These will be refereed by a small committee and around 16 participants selected.

The day will be organized to include 10-minute presentations and discussions.

Please submit position papers (as a Word or PDF file) to peter.wright@cs.york.ac.uk by 30th May Participants will be notified by 10th June.
