TRACK COVERAGE
The goal of this track is to bring together diverse communities of
scientists, researchers and users to discuss innovations in interactive
technology in general and/or their applications in education (i.e.
educational technology). This track is mainly motivated by the continuous
need to push for technology, which serve people instead of the other way
round. Therefore, the consideration of people with diverse/multiple user
needs, background, expectations, skills, ages, abilities and cultural
differences must lead to better technological solutions that are
human-orientated and user-centred.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS
Research papers, which address any questions/problems on this
topic/challenge, are welcome. Theoretical papers and papers describing
practical experiences are welcome. Papers may address innovations in
architecture, methodologies, software, hardware, and attitude
(social/cultural related). Authors are strongly encouraged to provide
in-depth conclusions of their insights on weaknesses, strengths and lessons
learnt of issues they address.
Contributions are welcome in, but not limited to, the following topics:
{Please note that these topics can be addressed in the general sense of
human computer interaction (i.e. interactive technology generally) and/or
their applications in education (i.e. educational technologies)}
. Novel approaches to Human Computer interaction
. Participatory approaches for design and development
. Adaptable and adaptive interfaces
. Using intelligent techniques
. Ergonomics and Human Factors
. Issues on interaction or usability
. Issues on universal access

LOCATION
Join the IRMA 2004 attendees in New Orleans Louisiana. New Orleans is a
culturally mixed city, with people of different backgrounds sharing many
wonderful neighborhoods. It has old customs like Mardi Gras which locals and
tourists alike look forward to each year, as well as new customs like Jazz
Fest, which has become a big hit in recent years. They are just more reasons
for locals to love New Orleans and visitors to enjoy coming each year.
Besides the major events, history and architecture, the food and restaurants
of New Orleans stand out in the South and are on a par with any city in the
world. Most visitors can't come to the Big Easy and not put on a few pounds
and love it while they are doing it. There is an unmistakable love of life
in New Orleans and it can be seen in its many festivals, fairs and general
good nature in the most "unique city" in America.
Send all inquiries and submissions to both the Program Chair and the Track
