OZCHI 2006
Annual Conference of the Australian Computer-
Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG)
20 - 24 November 2006
Sydney, Australia
OZCHI is the annual conference for the Computer-Human Interaction Special
Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of
Australia, a nonprofitevent. It is Australia's leading forum for work in all
areas of Human-Computer Interaction. OZCHI attracts an international
community of practitioners, researchers, academics and students from a wide
range of disciplines including user experience designers, information
architects, software engineers, human factors experts, information systems
analysts, social scientists or managers. We look forward to your involvement
at this year's OZCHI conference.
This year's theme is Design: activities, artefacts and environments.
OZCHI 2006 is about how we do human-centred technology design. We invite
contributions on all topics related to Human-Computer Interaction and the
design of interactive technologies, including practical, technical,
empirical and
theoretical aspects. We particularly welcome contributions from those design
approaches and traditions that have not always been central to
Human-Computer Interaction in the past including: product design, built
environments, new media and other areas where the design of interactive
technology is practiced. As always, we place enormous value on case studies
of technology design from all domains of use and practice
* Workshops and tutorials will run on the 20th and 21st November.
* The Doctorial Consortium will run on the 21st November.
* Presentations of papers, short papers, posters, industry case studies,
panels and demonstrations will run on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th November.

Conference Topics
We invite contributions on all topics related to Human-Computer Interaction
and the design of interactive technologies, including practical, technical,
empirical and
theoretical aspects. We particularly welcome contributions from those design
approaches and traditions that have not always been central to
Human-computer
Interaction in the past including: product design, built environments, new
media and other areas where the design of interactive technology is
practiced. As always, we place enormous value on case studies of technology
design from all domains of use and practice. In keeping with the theme
"Design: activities, artefacts and environments", topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
* User-centred analysis, design and evaluation
* Organizational context and technology design
* HCI methods, tools and techniques
* Design issues/methods/experiences for novel interfaces including tangible,
mixed reality interfaces and multi-modal interfaces
* Design issues/methods/experiences for mobile and ubiquitous computing
* Anything to do with usability
* Designing for multi-user interaction
* User studies and fieldwork
* Participatory design and cooperative design techniques
* Supporting diverse user populations
* User-centred design in non-traditional contexts and environments
* Negotiating user-centred design approaches 'in the wild'
* Ethical issues in human-centred design
* HCI education and design education
In addition, contributions that advance the theory or practice of any aspect
of HCI are welcome.
Submissions
Submissions will be accepted in various categories as described below. All
submissions must be written in English. Submissions for long papers and
short papers can be made online. Publication format and submission procedure

It is necessary for at least one author of any accepted submission to
register and attend the conference to have the paper published in the
proceedings
Long Papers: (maximum 8 pages) Long papers should report on completed
research which furthers topics relevant to the conference. Deadline for
submission is 19 June 2006.
Short papers: (maximum 4 pages) Short papers should present ideas that could
benefit from discussion with members of the HCI community. These papers may
include work-in-progress, experiences of reflective practitioners, and first
drafts of novel concepts and approaches. Deadline for submission is 28
August 2006.
Industry Case Studies: (maximum 8 pages) Industry case studies should
present
accounts of the design and/or development and/or use of interactive
technologies. Deadline for submission is 19 June 2006.
Posters: (2 page extended abstract) A poster session will be scheduled
during the technical programme. Deadline for submission is 28 August 2006.
Posters: ((2 page extended abstract and proposed poster layout - maximum
1200mm x 1200mm). A poster session will be scheduled during the technical
programme.
Deadline for submission is 28 August 2006.
Demos: (maximum 2 pages). Opportunities for demonstrations of applications,
devices, process and methods will be available throughout the conference.
Deadline for submission is 28 August 2006.
Workshops: (2 page proposal) Half day and full day sessions on topics that
include methods, practices, and other areas of interest and that support
active participation beyond presentation are welcome. Workshops will be held
on 20 and 21 November before the start of the paper sessions. Deadline for
submission is 17 July.
Tutorials: (2 page proposal) Half day and full day sessions for teaching
conceptual
frameworks, methods/techniques, and novel approaches. The tutorials will be
held on 20 and 21 November before the start of the paper sessions. Deadline
for submission is 17 July.
Doctoral consortium: (initial 2 page proposal) Full day session on November
21,
before the start of the paper sessions. Deadline for submission is 28 August

Submission
Guidelines (Word format). Both long and short papers will be subject to a
double
blind review process by an international panel and evaluated on the basis of
their
significance, originality, and clarity of writing. This review will be based
on the full
text of the submitted paper.
Accepted long papers, short papers and doctoral consortium, and summaries
for
posters, industry case studies, panels and demonstrations will be available
in the
published proceedings. The OZCHI 2006 proceedings will be part of the ACM
(the Association for Computing Machinery) International Conference
Proceedings Series available from the ACM Digital Library.
