NDM9 "NDM and Computers"
The 9th bi-annual International Conference on Naturalistic Decision
Making
Covent Garden, London, UK, 23-26 June, 2009
Jointly organized with the British Computer Society Interaction
Specialist Group.
http://www.cs.mdx.ac.uk/research/idc/ndm9/
**********************************************************
****************************
Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) encapsulates the problems and
challenges associated with making decisions in demanding situations.
These decisions are often dependent on, or supported by, computing
technology. The conference will focus on contemporary research on NDM
where interaction with computing technology is an essential feature.
It would be interesting to hear of studies where computers have been
both a hindrance, and benefit, to NDM. We would like the conference to
contribute to our understanding of how computers might ultimately
improve NDM. **We also welcome reports of developments in NDM
research, including: macro-cognition, cognitive task analysis, micro-
macro relationships and alternative approaches.**
A set of conference proceedings will be published and distributed at
the conference. It will also be available electronically on CD. The
best conference papers will be selected for further development and
(subject to peer review) published in a special issue of the
International Journal of Human Computer Interaction on Naturalistic
Decision Making with Computers.
We are seeking contributions in the following areas:
Long Papers of up to 5000 words, to be presented in 30 minute slots of
20 min presentation + 10 Q&A. We also anticipate that we will have a
special session on 'target and commentary'. The target papers will be
distributed to possible commentators who will write a commentary which
will be given in advance of the conference to the authors of the
target papers. This target and commentaries will form the basis of a
special debate session at the conference.
Posters will be reviewed on the basis of an extended abstract between
500 to 1000 words. Successful submissions should be turned into
posters, in either A1 or A0 size, for the poster presentation. The
abstract will be published in the conference proceedings.
Lab and Organisation Overviews will be reviewed on the basis of an
extended abstract between 500 to 1000 words, and will be presented as
posters as well. Successful submissions should be turned into posters,
in either A1 or A0 size, for the poster presentation. The abstract
will be published in the conference proceedings.
Panels Contributions for panel sessions are also invited to address
timely or controversial issues. Panels will be reviewed on the basis
of an extended abstract between 500 to 1000 words, and the abstract
will be published in the conference proceedings.
Demonstrations Contributions are also sought for demonstrations of
software or special equipment. Short videos of the demonstrations of
up to 2 minutes in duration will be published in the conference CD/
DVD. The videos should be formatted for distribution over the
internet, and in either .mov or .wav formats.
Doctoral Consortium Contributions of up to 5000 words in the long
paper format. Up to 12 PhD students who are at the end of Year 1 /
starting Year 2 of their PhD will be sponsored to attend the
conference, and present their papers at a special Doctoral Consortium
session that will be led by a panel of 3-4 senior members of the
community. Doctoral Consortium Contributions of up to 5000 words in
the long paper format.
Important Dates:
Friday 3 Oct 2008 = Deadline for Submission of Papers
Friday 28 Nov 2008 = Notify authors of accept / reject decision
Monday 9 Feb 2009 = Camera-ready Papers due
