SPOTLIGHT: Computer Human Interaction Mentoring Workshop and Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare
CHI 2010 is proud to host these two externally sponsored workshops: the Computer Human Interaction Mentoring (CHIMe) Workshop and the Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH) that will be co-located with the CHI 2010 conference.
Computer Human Interaction Mentoring (CHIMe) Workshop
The 2010 Computer Human Interaction Mentoring (CHIMe) Workshop, co-sponsored by the Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research, the Coalition to Diversify Computing, the Empowering Leadership Alliance and the National Science Foundation is a discipline-specific workshop for mentoring young underrepresented minority students in HCI. The workshop provides a unique opportunity for underrepresented minority researchers in HCI to interact with leaders in their field, network, learn about the latest trends in HCI, and present their work to the HCI community for constructive feedback.
Submissions: October 23
Dates: April 9 - 10
Location: Co-located with CHI 2010 in Atlanta, GA
Workshop Organizers: Dr. Ronald Metoyer and Dr. Manuel Perez-Quinones
Sponsors: CRA-W, CDC, ELA
Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH)
The Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcace (WISH) will take place April 10th and 11th, 2010 in conjunction with the ACM CHI 2010 Conference on Human Factors and Computing Systems. This event is designed to foster conversation and bridge communities and will include specialists in medical informatics, nursing informatics, medical sociology, human-computer interaction, and related fields.
The goals of this workshop are consistent with those of the ACM SIGCHI and the NIH Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). They are to:
. Bring together groups of scientists from a variety of disciplines all focused on issues of human-computer interaction and healthcare;
. Guide the work of the new researchers by having world experts provide them advice;
. Provide encouragement and support for engagement in research in interactive systems for healthcare;
. Make it possible for promising new entrants to the field, many of whom are highly respected professionals in other fields but relatively new to HCI, to attend the CHI conference;
. Illustrate the interrelationship and diversity of HCI research, in particular as it related to healthcare technologies;
. Make the interdisciplinary researchers' experiences at both WISH and the CHI conference an enjoyable and rewarding experience, encouraging them to return and submit papers, panels, demonstrations, posters, etc. to the conference.
Over two days, WISH will have an exciting program, including plenary speakers, invited panels, and the presentation of peer-reviewed research in the form of paper presentations and posters. This event is open to the public, even if you do not submit content for presentation.http://www.chi2010.org/wish/
Dates: April 10 - 11
Location: Co-located with CHI 2010 in Atlanta, GA
Workshop Organizers: Gillian Hayes, Desney Tan, and Lauren Willcox
CHI 2010: The 28th Annual CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
CHI (ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems) is the premier international conference for the field of human-computer interaction. CHI 2010 looks outward to the human experience of computing in the world. "We are HCI" challenges our community to embrace the diversity of HCI in the world and to exclaim our commitment as a profession to empower people from all walks of life.
