Call for papers for the Interaction Design and Children (IDC 2007)
conference, 6-8 June, 2007, Aalborg, Denmark
(http://idc2007.cs.aau.dk/index.html)
The increased focus on children's role in the design and evaluation of =
interactive technologies has provided several interesting research
studie= s and results. Currently, we are aware of the fact that children
have been =
characterized as not just young adults, but as independent individuals
wi= th their own strong opinions, needs, likes, and dislikes, and they
should be=
treated as such. Several studies have focused on children in educational
= or training settings; this has been natural as children often
encounter and =
use information technology in schools. Thus, children have often
participated as future end-users of educational or edutainment
technologi= es.
IDC 2007 welcomes submissions on all topics from the domain of
interactio= n design and children, including, but not limited to:
* Usability, enjoyability, accessibility, persuasion, ethics, and
safety issues, with particular reference to children
* Evaluation methods for use with children
* Evaluations of interactive systems and technologies for children
=
* Emerging or new technologies and their impact on children's
health,=
education or play
* Methods and techniques for establishing children's requirements
for=
interactive systems
* Guidelines for the design of interactive systems for children
* Reports on the development of interactive systems for children
(motivation, design, outcome, evaluation)
* Design of innovative systems to children
* Theoretical models of interaction with special relevance to
children
* Results of ethnographic and case studies in children's use of
interactive systems
* Stimulating in-depth analyses of issues related to interaction
design and children
* Effects of interactive technologies in children's lives (e.g.
game =
violence and aggression, obesity, learning...)
* Design and evaluation of interactive systems for children with
special needs
Submission deadlines:
Full papers: January 19, 2007
Short papers: March 5, 2007
Poster and demos: March 5, 2007
Notification deadlines:
Full papers: February 23, 2007
Short papers: March 30, 2007
Poster and demos: March 30, 2007
To address emerging research and development, IDC 2007 will look for
papers, demonstrations, posters that may include at least one of the
following broad areas:
* Emerging technologies for children (e.g., innovative educational
=
simulations, online games, accessible fabrication devices, mobile
communications devices, wireless embedded technologies, sensors and
actuators, "smart" materials, authoring/programming tools)
* The impact these technologies can have on children's lives
(e.g., =
in schools, at home, in public spaces)
* New research methods which give children a voice in the design,
development, and evaluation processes (e.g., participatory design
methods= , usability testing, etc.)
All accepted papers are presented at the IDC 2007 conference, and appear
= in the IDC 2007 Proceedings. Proceedings will be published in the ACM
Digita= l Library.
