Human Work Interaction Design 2012 (Dec 2012,
Copenhagen)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/human-work-interaction-design-2012-dec-2012-copenhagen/>
MAY 28, 2012
Website: https://sites.google.com/site/hwid2012/

Location: Copenhagen Business School (CBS), Solbjerg Plads 3, DK-2000
Frederiksberg, Denmark
Deadline for submissions: 1 August 2012.
*Theme, Scope and Focus: *The HUMAN WORK INTERACTION DESIGN 2012 (HWID
2012) working conference analyzes the combination of empirical Work
Analysis and Human computer interaction (HCI).
Human work analysis involves user goals, user requirements, tasks and
procedures, human factors, cognitive and physical processes, contexts
(organizational, social, cultural). In particular in the HCI and human
factors tradition, work is analyzed as end-user tasks
performed within a work domain. The focus is on the user’s experience of
tasks (procedures) and the artefact environment (constraints in the work
domain). Hierarchical Task Analysis (Annett & Duncan, 1967) and Work Domain
Analysis (Salmon, Jenkins, Stanton, & Walker, 2010) are among the methods
that can be used to analyse the goal-directed tasks, and map the work
environmental constraints and opportunities for behavior. In addition,
there is a strong tradition in HCI for studying work with ethnographic
methods (Button & Sharrock, 2009) and from socio-technical perspectives
(e.g., Nocera, Dunckley, & Sharp, 2007). These approaches focus on work as
end-user actions performed together with other people in a field setting,
that is, the user’s experience of using systems are social and
organizational experiences. User experience, usability and interaction
design are influenced by these approaches and techniques for analyzing and
interpreting the human work, which eventually manifests in the design of
technological products, systems and applications.
The working conference will present current research of human work
interaction design and industrial experiences in a wide spectrum of domains
such as medical, safety critical systems, e-government, enterprise IT
solutions, learning systems, information systems for rural populations,
etc. The relevant domains not mentioned here could also be considered.
The purpose of the working conference is to enable practitioners and
researchers to analyze the relation between empirical work analysis and
HCI/user experience. After the conference, a limited number of selected
papers will be published in an IFIP Springer book. We expect the
participants will be people from industry and academia with an interest on
empirical work analysis, HCI, interaction design and usability and user
experience in work situations and at the workplace. The working conference
will be conducted in a good social atmosphere that invites to openness and
provides time to reflection and discussion about each of the accepted
papers and cases.

Nordes 2013: Experiments in Design Research: Expressions, Knowledge,
Critique (June 2013,
Copenhagen/Malmö)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/nordes-2013-experiments-in-design-research-expressions-knowledge-critique-june-2013-copenhagenmalmo/>

Design is closely affiliated with the experimental, which is as an
exploratory and probing undertaking. What does this mean in the context of
design research? Today, design research relies on various and divergent
notions of design experimentation and ideas about their value and use. In
one corner, experimentation is conceived of as designerly exploration into,
for instance, materials, technologies, and expressions. In another corner,
design experimentation is shaped according to hypothetical-deductive models
of knowledge production inherited from science and engineering. Yet, in a
third corner, design experiments are explored as a means for promoting
social change or as a critique of political and ethical values. For
instance, this can take the form of critique through fiction and utopias.
This raises a set of central questions for design research: How is design
experimentation similar and different from experimentation in other
research fields and areas? What is the relation of exploration vis-à-vis
experimentation in design research? How is it possible, if at all
necessary, to provide a consistent account of research methods underlying
experimental design research? How can design experiments be staged other
than as highly idealized probing situations? What is the role of design
experiments as aspects of a critical aesthetic practice?
Nordes 2013 invites designers and design researchers to explore the many
aspects of design research as experimental practice.

Deadline for submissions of proposals: 15 September 2012
The 3rd Climate Change Technology Conference (CCTC 2013) is a Canadian and
international forum for the exchange of ideas for dealing with climate
change. It is also an opportunity to keep abreast of emerging techniques
and technologies for the mitigation of, and adaptation to, the impacts of
climate change. The Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) and ten of its
member societies are organizing CCTC 2013, which will be held on the campus
of Concordia University in Montreal.
The very success of our species has led to a situation in which this
planet’s finite resources must be considered in all future planning. This
conference is dedicated to the study and exposition of the status and
prospects of engineering in support of a bright future for humanity in the
midst of a rapidly changing and uncertain environment, both physical and
sociological due to climate change.

AIEDAM Special Issue on Computational Creativity (Sep
2012)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2012/05/12/aiedam-special-issue-on-computational-creativity-sep-2012/>

Guest Editors: Dan Ventura & Mary Lou Maher
Computational Creativity is a newly emerging subfield of AI (among others)
that is defined as the study and simulation, by computational means, of
behavior, natural and artificial, which would, if observed in humans, be
deemed creative. As systems and methodologies become more mature, it
becomes increasingly important that we have some rigorous and common
practice for evaluating their performance and claims made based on their
results or behaviors.
The study of computational creativity provides many opportunities for
interdisciplary research between Engineering, Cognitive Science and
Computer Science. This special issue aims to capture a snapshot of some of
the best work in this intersection of areas. For this issue, we will
broaden the scope to also include papers that discuss creativity in domains
other than engineering and design, including mathematics, scientific
discovery, linguistics and the arts. We are interested in papers whose
focus is the combination of creativity and computation in a significant
way, and in particular, we are interested in papers that in some
significant way address the issue of evaluation.

HAID 2012 – The Seventh International Workshop on Haptic and Audio
Interaction Design (HAID) – August 23-24 2012 in Lund, Sweden. First call
for short papers/posters, demos and exhibits/design cases.
The combination of haptic and audio for interaction design is a challenging
research area, and we invite researchers and practitioners interested in
these non-visual modalities to come to HAID to exchange designs and
research findings. This year’s HAID has a particular (but not exclusive)
focus on the mobile setting – while on the move the haptic and audio
combination has great (but sadly under-exploited) potential. More
non-visual interaction designs will make applications and devices easier to
user for everyone.
We invite contributions on the appropriate use of haptics and audio in
interaction design: how do we design effectively for mobile interaction?
How can we design effective haptic, audio and multimodal interfaces? In
what new application areas can we apply these techniques? Are there design
methods that are useful? Or evaluation techniques that are particularly
appropriate? We also welcome artistic exhibits and commercial design cases
for our exhibition.

to explore the sensorial approach to design; the new science of living
The sensorial qualities in design are the foundations of future living
concepts. Masayo Ave, a Japanese architect/designer and the founder of
Haptic Interface Design Institute, is a considerable pioneer who explores
the studies on sensorial qualities in the field of industrial design for
more than two decades.
