ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems
http://eics2009.org
15-17 July 2009
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
EICS (the ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing
Systems) is a new international conference devoted to all aspects of the engineering of usable and effective interactive computing systems, ranging from traditional workstation-based interactive systems to those involving new and emerging modalities (e.g. gesture), applications (e.g.
mobile and ubiquitous games) and development methods (e.g. extreme programming).
EICS focuses on tools, techniques and methods for designing and developing interactive systems. EICS brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from the HCI, Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, CSCW, Ubiquitous / Pervasive Systems and Game Development communities.
EICS is the continuation of the successful EHCI (Engineering of Human Computer Interaction) series of conferences sponsored by IFIP Working Group 2.7/13.4. In addition, EICS 2009 will incorporate the 16th International Workshop on the Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems (DSV-IS).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFERENCE TOPICS
Submissions to the conference are invited that address some aspect of the engineering of human-computer interactive systems. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
* interaction/interactive systems modelling
* development processes for interactive systems engineering
* integration of interaction design into the software development process
* specification of interactive systems
* requirements engineering for interactive systems
* user interface prototyping
* user interface development support (including design, implementation,
testing)
* software architectures for interactive systems
* evaluation/testing of user interfaces
* end-user programming of interactive systems
* dynamic generation/composition of interactive systems.
Submissions are particularly welcome that address one of the following themes within the context of the above topics:
* the relationship of agile development methods and techniques to the engineering of interactive systems
* the challenges of:
- new and emerging interaction techniques and technologies such as gestural input and mobile or context-sensitive interaction
- modern applications such as social networking, peer-to-peer mobile gaming or web 2.0
- distributed and international development teams
- better ways of designing or developing conventional interactive systems.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE OF SUBMISSIONS
Submissions may be in one of the following categories:
* RESEARCH PAPER: This should present a substantial and rigorously executed piece of research including validation of results.
* PRACTICE & EXPERIENCE REPORT: This is designed to provide an opportunity for those who develop interactive systems to describe good (and bad) practices and/or to present practical evaluations of methods, techniques and tools.
* LATE BREAKING RESULTS: This should provide a short report on relevant work in progress. The conference programme committee will decide if accepted submissions are to be presented as a short talk or as a poster.
It is important to note that late breaking results should be submitted as camera-ready papers.
* DEMONSTRATIONS: A demonstration of a design or development tool or technique.
All accepted papers will be published in the ACM SIGCHI proceedings of EICS 2009 as well as in the ACM Digital Library.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
All categories except late breaking results:
* Deadline for submission: 25 February 2009
* Authors' notification: 1 April 2009
* Camera-ready papers: 1 May 2009
Late breaking results (camera-ready papers):
* Deadline for submission: 17 April 2009
* Authors' notification: 1 May 2009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
All submissions must be carefully anonymized. Attention must be paid to references (e.g. never write "In our previous work [3]").
Confidentiality will be maintained during the review process.
All submissions must be prepared according to the standard SIGCHI publications format ([http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform
http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform]). The maximum length is:
* 10 pages for research papers and practice and experience reports
* 6 pages for late breaking results and demonstrations.
Videos can be provided as a supplement to any submission and are strongly encouraged in the case of demonstrations. Videos should be no more than 5 minutes in length and 50 MB in size; they should be playable on standard PC or Macintosh computers.
Submission should be made via the EICS 2009 conference management system (https://precisionconference.com/~eics). The system will be open for submissions from 12 January 2009.
