HCI

The Web and Beyond 2008

Mobility (May 22, 2008 - Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam NL)
The Web is in a state of motion: no longer is it primarily being accessed through PCs, but more and more does it find its way into our phones, our cars, on the streets and in buildings. And once there, the Web is interacting with us in smarter and richer ways than before. Bluetooth or RFID in a busstop personalises the map and advertisements, your friend’s car knows today’s best way to your home, your mobile phone suggests the best place to eat tomorrow, oh, and your online best friends (all 176 of them) will know you have been there before you have a chance to tell them. Mobility traditionally refers to characteristics in devices to handle information access, communication and business transactions while in a state of motion. What if we place users at the center of attention? What does mobility mean to humans in a state of motion who interact with technological devices in their surroundings? The Web and Beyond 2008: Mobility, a conference organized by Chi Netherlands, explores.

CHI 2008

Art, Balance, Science (April 5-10, 2008 - Florence, Italy EU)
CHI 2008 focuses on the balance between art and science, design and research, practical motivation and the process that leads the way to innovative excellence. It is about balance in our rapidly evolving field, the balance between individuals and groups, collocated and remote, stationary and mobile, in both our local and global communities. CHI 2008 will be held in Florence, Italy, birthplace of the Renaissance, and home to great artists and scientists. This is the city of Leonardo Da Vinci, who spoke of balance in saying “where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art."s

Engage!

The 20th BCS HCI Group conference in co-operation with ACM (September 11-15, 2006 - Queen Mary, University of London EU)
For the first time, the HCI conference is engaging with six core themes. These themes capture some of the established favourite ideas in the community as well as suggest new collaborations and approaches. The goal for you as a submitter is to engage with one of the themes in rich and unexpected ways. At the conference, we will be setting up discussions where you will have the opportunity to challenge and be challenged on how you have adopted the theme.

DIS2006

Designing Interactive Systems (June 26-28, 2006 - Penn State, USA)
The Designing Interactive Systems series of conferences started in 1995, 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, DIS2000, DIS2002, and DIS2004 to arrive at DIS2006. Each of these conferences has helped to develop and shape the field by bringing together designers, software developers, and many other disciplines.

Cognitive Task Analysis Course

Klein Associates - September 28-30, 2004 - Dayton, Ohio
"In order to understand how people act upon the world around them, it is necessary to understand what goes on inside their heads. Particularly when the tasks they are doing are complex, it is not enough to simply observe their behaviors. It is also important to find out how they think and what they know, how they organize and structure information, and what they seek to understand better. Cognitive Task Analysis is a family of methods and tools for gaining access to the mental processes that organize and give meaning to observable behavior. Klein Associates is offering a three-day course that provides an immersion experience in Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA). We have used CTA in over 100 projects and have been developing and refining CTA methods for 25 years. In this course, we will share the lessons we have learned and give you the tools to begin using CTA and its principles in your work."
