DIS2002 - DESIGNING INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS *** 25-28.June.02 ***
=======================================================================
"A venue for serious reflection on the practice of designing
interactive systems, exploring the aesthetic, social and
cultural dimensions of new technologies."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many people are involved in creating interactive systems, from
information designers to organisational managers, product designers
to systems engineers, interaction designers to usability experts, and
social scientists to product strategists To progress we need to engage
in serious reflection on the actual practice of Designing Interactive
Systems and learn from one another. What methods have been successful?
Where have we failed? How are we educating and changing? What does it
take to create useful, usable and desirable systems?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We invite you to contribute your insights and benefit from
those of others experienced in the practice of designing
successful interactive systems."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submit a proposal for participating in DIS2002, and join us in London
for three days of discussion, debate and inspiration.
http://www.sigchi.org/DIS2002/
========================================================================
Highlights
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Introduction
Interactive systems are increasingly embedded in the ways we live
and work. Technical boundaries are evolving in many directions,
from design in the small - the products that individuals use - to
design in the large - socio-technical systems that groups and
communities use. Yet even experienced organisations are only now
beginning to understand the skills, resources, and processes needed
to produce results that respond to people's needs and desires.
Improving our understanding of the processes of designing, and
assessing the quality of interactive devices and systems have become
key success factors in business. How can we move in new design
directions? How can we gain insight into users' needs? Who must
participate in the design process? What makes our designs successful?
DIS2002 aims to bring together all dimensions of design in a single
conference. Together, we will confront the challenge of designing
interactive systems that successfully meet users' needs and delight
the people who use them. As with the previous DIS conferences, the
goal of DIS2002 is to better understand the practice of designing
interactive systems and how it can be improved. DIS2002 will extend
our collective knowledge by sharing experiences of what works and
how the highest quality results can be achieved.
Join us, with some of the best minds in your profession, for three
days of discussion, debate, and inspiration in London, one of
Europe's premier locations for design.
--
* Conference Structure
The programme will be single-track, providing common ground among
participants.
All authors will have the opportunity to briefly present and discuss
their work. Sessions will include keynote plenaries, presentations
of contributions in a panel format, exhibition sessions, student
design contests and a Design Open House evening that builds on one
of the highlights of DIS2000 in New York.
--
* 'Dimensions of Design'
is an on-line discussion forum, hosted on the DIS2002 Web Site, that
will act as a key resource covering the themes of the conference in
the run up to it and for a period afterwards.
--
* Conference publication
Exhibits, papers and keynotes will be collected in a professionally
designed and edited book, recording the new insights, questions, and
answers we reach in a way that can assist other practitioners.

========================================================================
Contribute
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite you to submit contributions in a variety of forms.
DIS2002 invites contributions from designers and others with valuable
insights, including academics, researchers, practitioners or clients.
A distinguished, multi-disciplinary program committee will review
all submissions. It recognises the need for contributors to reflect
on their practice and present their learning in a structured and
accessible form. The conference builds on existing knowledge, rather
than starting from scratch.
If you feel that your work is innovative and should be shared, make
this the starting point for your submission. All submissions should
provide insights into the research, practice and evaluation of
interactive system design. We want DIS to reflect the broad range of
product areas where people encounter interactive systems (from mobile
phones and interactive TV to wearable computers and the Web) and the
processes involved in their design.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to submit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Check if your planned submission fits one of the topic areas
Design projects and design rationale (case studies) Inventing
the future, inspiration, perspiration and innovation
-- Art, design, engineering
-- Tomorrow's interactive systems: better or just different?
-- Generalising the experience - towards theories of design
-- Designing interactions between people with computer
intermediaries
-- Designing interactions with organisations
-- Cultural techniques and interventions
-- Improving the capability of organisations to design well
-- Design in interdisciplinary situations
-- Methods and tools for exploring the solution space
-- Specifying and evaluating interaction quality - from usability
to the aesthetic
-- Concepts of quality - how do we know when we have succeeded?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Prepare your submission
We encourage a broad range of submissions varying from design
exhibits to academic research papers. Accepted submissions form
the core of the main conference on 26, 27, 28 June and will appear
in the conference publication.
Submissions to be included in the book should be from 6 to 12 A4
(210mm x 297mm) pages in length. A standard DIS conference format
template is provided as a starting point:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigchi/chipubform/cpf.doc
[Word document, file size: 40kb]
However authors are encouraged to deviate from this and to use the
form and structure of the submission to improve the presentation of
their material - for example by the use of extensive graphics or
typography to emphasise the main messages of the submission. Design
constraints are included in the conference format template and
guidelines, and these along with example submissions will be
available from here by 9 November. People wishing to contribute
primarily to the design exhibit should still submit a short
(2-4 page) description of their exhibit for inclusion in the
conference publication. In addition, digital material that reflects
the exhibit (such as interactive media, CD-ROMs, Web sites, and
videos) may also be submitted to support the review process.
Submission of additional electronic media is optional for authors
of academic style papers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Prepare a submission cover page
The submission cover page provides a one-page summary of your
paper, exhibit or design case submission and will be used to help
assign your submissions to the appropriate reviewers. The purpose
is to provide an equal starting point these kinds of submission.
It can be used to explain issues or reflections that might
interrupt the style of a design presentation. Equally, it can be
used to convey beliefs or aesthetic judgements that might not fit
in more traditional papers. You should adapt it to best communicate
your work. Your submission cover page will also be reproduced in
the conference publication, in a standard form, or in the way that
you choose to adapt it (see note in the document).
http://www.sigchi.org/DIS2002/resources/SubmissionCover.doc
[Word document, file size: 60kb]
The submission cover page asks for primary contact person for
the submission (including name, affiliation, address, phone number,
fax number, and email address), and asks you to describe your
project under the following headings:
-- Context:
The organisational setting, target audience and process of
understanding their needs, the skills, methods and technologies
used, sources of influence and inspiration for the work.
-- Process:
Product functionality, the aesthetic values manifested,
reflections on the process, and the generalisable lessons
learned.
-- Evaluation:
How the success of your project was evaluated, what were
the quality criteria and how were they met, what were the
socio-cultural implications, why was this project a success,
or if not a success what makes it interesting?
-- Presentation:
Indicate whether, if your submission is accepted, you would
you like to present at the conference, show your work as an
interactive exhibit or poster, or both.
You may submit the completed Word document, but we encourage you
to use your own one-page design, using the same headings, and
submit it as a PDF with embedded fonts. (This will allow us to
reproduce it as a facsimile in the conference publication. If you
submit the cover page 'as is' your cover page will be presented in
a standard publication format.)

sessions. A Tutorial proposal should state the objective of the
session and describe what participants should expect to learn from
attendance.
--
* Workshops
Workshops are sessions led by the convener(s) that aim to
collectively discuss a particular issue related to the conference
and of interest to the workshop participants. It is expected that
the results will be reported at a later date to the wider community.
Workshop participants will be selected by the convener(s) based on
position papers that candidates submit to the workshop convener(s).
--
* Master Classes
Master Classes are sessions led by recognised leaders in the
field that aim to improve the knowledge of participants in a very
particular way. The topic chosen must be related to the conference
and of interest to the participants. Master Class participants
will be selected by the convener(s) based on position papers that
candidates submit to the convener(s).
--
* Post-Graduate Symposium
Submissions are invited from students currently studying for a
Post-Graduate research degree in a relevant subject. The purpose
of the Symposium is that students learn from each other and begin
to form a community with a variety of perspectives on the design
of interactive systems.
A symposium proposal should:
-- Identify the institute and the academic department where you
are registered
-- Outline the subject and objectives of your thesis
-- Identify the key points to be discussed within the Symposium
-- Outline what you would like to achieve by participating in
