DIS2002
Conference: Designing Interactive Systems 20002, London 25-28 June
2002
Advanced programme- Registration early rate closes 25th May
========================================================================
DIS2002 - DESIGNING INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS *** 25-28.June.02 ***
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Serious reflection on designing interactive systems"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The British Museum, London
http://www.sigchi.org/DIS2002/
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.
========================================================================
Highlights
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Interviews with Interaction Designers
The Design Council presents: Bill Moggridge
A British designer who is most famous in Silicon Valley, Moggridge
has lead industrial design into the computer age, shaping laptops
and handhelds but most importantly, identifying a new design
discipline required of product designers: 'interaction design'.
--
* Teaching interaction design
Pelle Ehn, Gillian Crampton Smith, John Maeda
Three leading educators describe the new programs they have created
to educate the future interaction designer.
--
* Learning interaction design
Joy Mountford
At Apple Computer, Joy encouraged design schools to take on
interdisciplinary design projects by sponsoring contests. Joy will
be joined by former students from Rhode Island School of Design,
The Royal College of Art, MIT and Stanford. They will reflect on
their education and careers.
--
* Exhibit tour
Ben Fry
Joined by a panel of young designers, Ben Fry will discuss the
DIS exhibits and the variety of prospects and challenges facing
design. This panel will be followed by an extended break during
which the exhibits will be available for their last showing.
--
* London tour
Nico Macdonald
On Thursday evening we will take a tour of London Design offices.
Nico Macdonald and a panel of local designers will describe the
design scene in London, placing it in a global and post-dotcom
crash context, and discuss what to watch for on the tour.
--
* Design probes
Fiona Raby and Tony Dunne
With their provocative installations and writings, Dunne and Raby
have challenged a generation of designers to re-think our
relationships with technology.
--
* Design problems
Tom Moran
The field of human-computer interaction had its genesis at Xerox
PARC, where Tom and others invented a new discipline. With his
training in architecture, he is uniquely positioned to give us the
history of a new kind of design. What problems did HCI solve?
What new design disciplines need to be developed to solve the new
problems?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speakers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Bill Moggridge
IDEO, USA
A principal and founder of IDEO, the Palo Alto-based design
consulting firm, Bill Moggridge pioneered user interface design as
a discipline to be an integrated part of product development, and
coined the term Interaction Design. He formed Moggridge Associates
in London in 1969. In the early 1980s, he designed the acclaimed
GriD Compass, the first truly portable computer. Moggridge has
taught at the Royal College of Art, Stanford University, and the
London Business School. In 1998, he became a Fellow of the London
Institute and Royal Designer for Industry.
--
* Tony Dunne and Fiona Raby
Royal College of Art, UK
Senior research fellows and founding members of the Computer Related
Design Research Studio at the Royal College of Art, London, Fiona
Raby and Tony Dunne lead the Critical Design Unit. They are also the
principals of Dunne + Raby, a creative design partnership established
in 1994 to explore the relationship of industrial design,
architecture
and electronic media through a combination of academic research and
practical commissions.
--
* Tom Moran
IBM, USA
A Distinguished Engineer at IBM's Almaden Research Center in
San Jose, Tom Moran was formerly Principal Scientist at Xerox PARC,
and the founding Director of EuroPARC in Cambridge. His early
work with Stu Card and Allen Newell on the theoretical foundations
of human-computer interaction lead to their seminal book, The
Psychology of Human-Computer Interaction, in 1983. He has developed
several analysis tools and theoretical frameworks for HCI, from task
mapping to design rationale. He has also developed several innovative
interactive systems to aid informal working, from idea-organising
hypertext to media spaces to electronic and physical walls.

Postgraduate Symposium
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Postgraduate Symposium is a closed session that allows
postgraduate students from a range of disciplines to explore their
interests in the design of interactive systems and get feedback on
their research from their peers and a panel of established researchers.
Participants have been invited on the basis of submissions describing
their research work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interactive Thread
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Interactive Thread is a participatory design experiment for
DIS2002. At the end of each session, we will ask members of the
audience to participate in different design activities derived from
some of the many disciplines that make up the conference. The
Interactive Thread has three goals: to help DIS2002 participants to
meet new people, to learn new design strategies and to contribute their
own design expertise. At the end of the conference, we will present
the final design: come to DIS2002 to see the result!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exhibit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of the committee's commitment to making DIS a more interactive
conference and to help the attendees shape their own conference
experience, this year's DIS conference will be featuring a new
exhibition space. The exhibition space allows DIS attendees to enjoy
an interactive experience with novel and inspiring interaction
techniques and tools. The exhibits will give you hands on interactive
contact with conference submissions. In addition, there will also be
tools to allow the attendee to participate and comment on the program
itself during the conference.

The venue
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The British Museum is located in Central London within easy reach
of train, Underground, and bus transportation. The Museum was founded
in the Eighteenth Century and has recently received its most
thorough-going renovation. The famed circular Reading Room in the
Museum's Great Court, which had been the hub of the British Library,
was rebuilt and the book stacks that surrounded it were removed to the
new Library near London's St Pancras Station, while the Court was
covered by a domed glass roof. The project was conceived and overseen
by Foster and Partners and included the creation of a conference centre
underneath the Great Court, where DIS2002 will take place.
