Background Information
The Organising Committee has identified the following theme:

Design for the whole person - Integrating Physical, Cognitive & Social
aspects

Tutorials provide conference participants with the opportunity to gain new
insights,  knowledge, and skills in a broad range of areas in the field of
human-computer interaction.  Tutorial participants may include user
interface designers and users, software developers,  managers of
human-computer interface projects, human factors practitioners, interface
evaluators and testers, industrial designers, teachers of HCI, researchers
in human-computer  interaction, and professionals in other areas seeking to
gain an understanding of how HCI  relates to their specialties.

Workshops provide a forum for small groups (10-20 people) to exchange ideas
on a specific  topic of common interest. Workshop participants are selected
on the basis of position papers  submitted directly to a workshop's
organiser. A position paper is generally 2-4 pages long  and outlines the
submitter's views on the workshop theme and the reasons for the submitter's
interest in the topic.

Each workshop or tutorial is designed to be a half-day or full-day in
duration. Half-day  sessions are three hours long (not including breaks).
Full-day sessions are six hours long  (not including breaks).  Topics
related to the following will be given precedence:

* product design
* design theory and standards
* usability metrics
* computer-supported collaborative work
* web design, Internet and intranet use
* call centres
* human error and systems failure
* ethnographic studies of IT use
* research methods for HCI
* industry case-studies of HCI issues
* human/user interface design
* evaluation methods and techniques
* visualisation and novel interfaces
* design for special needs (accessibility)
* mobile appliances
* cognitive engineering
* training and decision-making
* organisational aspects of IT use
* cross-cultural aspects of IT
* Interface design


Proposal
Prepare a proposal no longer than 6 pages, for review purposes. It should:
* indicate the duration of your proposed workshop/tutorial
* describe the learning objectives & material covered in the
workshop/tutorial
* explain how the workshop/tutorial will be conducted
* describe and provide samples of materials that will be included in the
tutorial notes
* If the proposed tutorial has been given previously, the proposal should
include where the  tutorial has been given and how it will be modified for
HF2002.
* In the case of a workshop, an indication of the proposed size of the
tutorial and any  potential attendees would be helpful

Requirements List
Prepare a list of requirements for running the tutorial. Include any
supplies required for  each participant, restrictions or conditions on
offering the tutorial, technology support  requests and other information
that the review committee should know in considering the  proposal.

Tutorial Notes
Tutorial notes are often of valuable benefit to attendees. If you plan to
provide tutorial  notes, please include:
* an introduction to the topic
* copies of all overhead transparencies and slides
* an annotated bibliography
* copies of relevant background material or scholarly papers (for which the
instructors have  obtained any necessary reprint permission)
* tutorial exercises, as appropriate
* Instructors must sign a release form giving HF 2002 one-time-only
permission to utilise  the notes for tutorial participants.

Compensation
An honorarium of $1,200AU will be awarded for each half-day
workshop/tutorial that is  taught, $2,000AU for each full-day. If a
workshop/tutorial has two or more leaders, the  honorarium will be shared
amongst them. Workshop/Tutorial leaders must pay for their own  travel
expenses and conference registration.

Submissions
* Your submission must be in English.
* Your submission must be in electronic format (PDF, RTF, or MS Word
format).
* Submissions arriving after the deadline will not be considered.
* Your submission should contain no proprietary or confidential material and
should cite no  proprietary or confidential publications.
* Responsibility for permissions to include copies of material or scholarly
articles rests  with you, not with HF2002.
