===========================================
The 6th Symposium of the Workgroup HCI&UE of the Austrian Computer Society will take place in Carinthia (Southern Austria) this year from Sept. 16th to Sept. 17th.
The topics are structured alongside (but not limited to) the following three dimensions:
1) Special user groups (children, elderly, healthcare professionals, tourists, students, teachers, ...)
2) Issues on practical application of HCI in the work place (process aspects, HCI patterns, cost/benefit analyses, ...)
3) Future trends in HCI
We encourage and cordially invite authors to submit their original work related to all topics of HCI and Usability as
a) long papers (> 14 pages),
b) short papers (between 8 and 14 pages),
c) posters (2 pages).
Proposals for workshops or special tracks are welcome, too. Accepted conference papers will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
Templates are provided on the symposium website. Submissions are welcome under the following URL:

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS
***Industrial Track: Putting HCI into Best Practice***
Submissions for the Industrial Track:
We recommend the LNCS stylesheets (Word or Latex) for submissions. There are no specific length requirements, but the submissions should be adequate to describe the intended talk.
The spirit of the industrial talks ("management board talks") should be non-scientific and business oriented - interested companies should describe case studies, best practices, challenges in their work relating to HCI / usability. The goal is the exchange of knowledge within and between both, industrial and scientific communities.
Talk format: 20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion.
Submission and communication language: German and English.
Proceedings: Will be printed in-house and distributed in advance.
Subsequent to a presentation, Round Table discussions can be scheduled, focusing on cooperation and match making and typically including the presenter and 5 to 7 interested participants.
Suggestions for possible topics (non-exhaustive):
- Multi-platform delivery / device independence - Rich internet applications - E-learning systems and content - Simulations - Serious games - Mobile applications - E-commerce applications and HCI issues - Web 2.0 and e-learning 2.0 - Tool & Methodology Choices, Tradeoffs, Decisions - Business Cases on HCI (financial issues, financing issues, ROI etc.) - Usability issues (how to do it right) - Remote usability evaluation - Automated usability assessment (experiences / limitations)
- Usability in production environments - Clean Room conditions - Human-Robot interaction
***Special Issue of JITT***
Authors of high rated papers on e-tourism or related areas will also be invited to submit an extended version of their work for a special issue of the Journal of Information Technology and Tourism (JITT, http://ojs.modul.ac.at/index.php/jitt).
***Free admittance to AAPC 2010***
Attendees of USAB 2010 are entitled to visit the co-located "Alps Adria
Psychology Conference" (http://aapc2010.uni-klu.ac.at) for free - and vice versa.
Looking forward to seeing you in beautiful Carinthia,
