Designing Interactive Systems (February 25-27, 2008 - Cape Town, South Africa)
The Designing Interactive Systems series of conferences started in 1995 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, around the time that a very influential book was published. Terry Winograd collected together an excellent set of pioneers in this field in his book Bringing Design to Software. Since then the conference has progressed through DIS97, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; DIS2000, New York City, USA; DIS2002, London, UK; DIS2004, Boston, USA; DIS2006, State College, USA; to arrive at DIS2008, in Cape Town, South Africa.
Each of these conferences has helped to develop and shape the field by bringing together designers, software developers, and many other disciplines. DIS2008 will be the first main SIGCHI conference to be held outside the USA or Europe, and as such aims to challenge participants to reflect on designing interactive systems for users outside these established markets. This is especially relevant as these markets are fast becoming more lucrative and influential.
