Hi folks
This is the first call for papers for HCI2007: "HCI, but not as we know
it", at Lancaster University, UK, 3-7 September 2007. This is the 21st
annual conference of the British HCI Group, which, as you know, is a
specialist group of the British Computing Society (BCS).
The call is going out later this year, because the deadline is later
this year.
Hope to see you in Lancaster in September.

* When a designer pieces together a set of environmental sensors and
writes a program that coordinates them to monitor pollution
automatically, where does the HCI happen?
* When an airport security screener checks a passenger's passport via
a database while asking them standard bag-packing questions, where does
the HCI happen?
* When a student creates a homework blog for their classmates, where
does the HCI happen?
The answer seems to be that HCI no longer happens in standard one-to-one
human-computer interactions, but across a range of different
technologies, processes, groups and tasks that may not even have a
recognisable interface.

register for the full conference no later than 8th June 2007, or the
paper will not be included in the proceedings.
Additionally, the British HCI Conference has a long tradition of
encouraging and publishing submissions from industry and the public
sector. The HCI Practice Chair (Laura Cowen, IBM UK Ltd) encourages
submissions covering:
* tools and methods for usability and HCI design in the industrial
context;
* experiences in design for different user groups e.g. accessibility
best practice;
* results of experience in practice;
* product evaluations;
* experience of training people in HCI and usability techniques.
The conference also includes an exciting range of presentations, panels,
workshops, tutorials, interactive demonstrations and opportunities to
interact with fellow researchers, practitioners, educators and users.
Our keynote speakers this year are Steve Payne, Professor of Information
Systems Design, School of Informatics, Manchester University, UK, and
Elizabeth Churchill - Yahoo! Research, USA.
The conference is organised with support from the British HCI Group and
Lancaster University.
