*** Call for Papers USAB 2008 ***
4th USABility Symposium
of the Workgroup HCI&UE of the Austrian Computer Society
20 & 21 November 2008, Graz University of Technology
"Usability & Human-Computer Interaction for Education and Work"
(HCI4EDU)
Today in education computers can be found everywhere; they are both
ubiquitous and pervasive. Systems supporting educational or work
scenarios are extremely sophisticated and technological performance
increases exponentially. However, human cognitive evolution does not
advance at the same speed. Consequently, the focus on interaction and
communication between human and computer is of increasing importance in
education and work, since the daily actions of the end-users are the
central concern and must be supported by surrounding technology, in
particular with new & emerging technologies.
Traditionally, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) bridges Psychology and
Informatics, while Usability Engineering (UE), as an engineering
discipline, is firmly anchored in software technology. Together, HCI&UE
provide the emerging potential to assist the daily work flows in the
realm of education and work. Innovation and new developments often take
place just at the junction of two or more disciplines.
To promote closer collaboration between engineers, researchers and
teaching professionals, we invite you to participate in the 4th
Usability Symposium of the Austrian HCI&UE Group in Graz (Austria).
Mission Statement: Together Today, combining Data, Information and
Knowledge, to support the work of the Educational professionals of
tomorrow!
We are seeking high quality papers, which will be reviewed in a full
paper double-blind review by at least three independent reviewers.
Accepted contributions will be presented during the symposium as full or
short paper. The conference language is English as it supports a broad
access within an international audience. Suggestions for Tutorials and
Workshops are also welcome.
Topics include but are not limited to:
* Usability and New Research Methodologies
* Formal Methods and Methodologies (incl. Agile Methods)
* Human Aspects of Future Technologies for Learning
* Human-Computer Interaction for Aviation
* Semantics and Usability in Education
* Human Language Analysis and Natural Language Processing
* Usage and Utility of Educational Terminology
* Usability and Human Aspects of e-Learning
* Aspects of Usability in Information Visualization for Education
