1st Call for papers for the:
"Annual Conference of the European Association of Cognitive Ergonomics, EACE 2005" (incorporating the 10th Conference on Cognitive Science Aspects of Process Control and the 13th European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics)
A three-section conference on Cognitive Ergonomics Theories, Methods and Practices
29 September-1 October 2005, Chania, Crete, GREECE
http://www.eace2005.gr
*****************************************************************************************
Section I: Reflecting on theories, methods and practice
We seek for papers which critically discuss theories and methodological frameworks for ergonomic interventions, artefacts or systems design. Case studies which explicitly consider the consequences of use of specific theories, both positive and negative, are also welcome. Of particular interest will be theoretical perspectives such as phenomenology, cultural psychology, semiotics, cultural anthropology or activity theory, and theoretical concepts such as contextual and distributed cognition, embodied cognition or emotional design
.
Background: During the 25 years of research and practice, Cognitive Ergonomics has broadened its domains of study and intervention, to include not only process control domains, but also educational, medical, clerical, engineering design, leisure and other domains. These new worlds of study are typically less tightly coupled than the traditional ones; this leads to the emergence of new theoretical and methodological questions, such as:
- are the traditional approaches appropriate for intervening in these new words?
- which theories are best adapted for a sufficient understanding of these new studied worlds?
- how to frame the world studied, i.e. what boundaries to consider in order to effectively identify what counts for the human agents behaviour?
- which should be the unit of analysis?
- how to achieve design recommendations which fit to the local work ecology of the studied world and/or change it towards desired directions?
- when should one stop the analysis and start the design?
ิhe Annual EACE Conference aims to be an occasion for introspecting in our practice, theoretical and methodological armature.
Section II: Research and applications in the medical domain
We seek for papers presenting cognitive ergonomics research in the medical domain (e.g. analysis and design of artefacts for the medical practice in the operating theatre, the examination room, the hospital .).
Background: The medical domain attracts the interest of many cognitive ergonomic research and applications in recent years. Due to the complexity and the particularities of medical domain, research in this domain brings to front the limitations of more traditional approaches developed and tested in the domain of process control, and call for new research and design paradigms.
Section III: Doctoral forum
PhD students are invited to present their research on any domain of Cognitive Ergonomics. They will be free to choose the form of presenting their work; e.g. classical oral presentation, poster presentation, presentation of designed prototypes, or any other form they will propose. Furthermore, PhD students are invited to organize "special events" such as experiments, participatory design sessions, usability tests, etc., throughout the three days of the conference.
