Call for Papers
1st International Workshop on Physicality
6-7 February 2006, Lancaster, UK
*Entended deadline*
We will take further position papers of first come first served basis. Please email expressions of interest ASAP.
http://www.physicality.org/
We invite position papers for the 1st international workshop on Physicality from researchers who are interested in the way that physicality of digital artefacts influences their use, or in the way that digitality informs our understanding of the physical.
This two-day workshop will offer a multidisciplinary forum of discussion for researchers on the fundamental nature of physicality and how this relates to design in areas such as ubiquitous and tangible computing, virtual reality and digital arts. As well as gaining an understanding of the relationship between digitality and physicality in computing, we are also keen to learn how researchers from other disciplines perceive physicality in their line of work - for instance, how architects regard physicality during design and construction, how archaeologists interpret artefacts based on their physical properties and settings, or how philosophers reason about the idea of physicality with regard to humans.
Submissions in the form of 2-3 pages long position paper should be sent ASAP to Masitah Ghazali at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. The workshop will be organised as invited talks, short individual presentations, and group activities. For additional information, please visit the website http://www.physicality.org/
