Call for papers: ‘Crossing Boundaries: Exploring What Design Can Do’
in conjunction with NordiCHI2012
October *13th & 14th* 2012, Copenhagen, Denmark
Web site: http://boundariescrossing.wordpress.com
Due to increasing specialization in organizations and multidisciplinary
teamwork, boundaries are becoming more explicit obstacles. Boundary objects
are one proposed means for crossing these boundaries. This workshop
provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to share experiences and
issues with crossing boundaries in multidisciplinary innovation projects.
The current workshop focuses on how one can make a boundary object for use
and aims to explore what the role of design can do making appropriate
boundary objects. We want to improve the understanding of what works and
what doesn’t and be able to develop both practical and theoretical
applications of such *by actually ‘designing’ boundary crossing solutions
during the workshop including a research-through-design approach*.
* *
Participation:
The intended audience is primarily designers and human-computer interaction
researchers who are interested in the theme. The workshop should also be
relevant for practitioners who have experiences with multidisciplinary
design project and making/using objects to cross boundaries.
Submission:
We welcome contributions that focus on crossing organizational or
disciplinary boundaries. This could include a reflective case study which
can be a kind of (auto)ethnography or reflection-on-action from
practitioners or researchers or those wishing to make theoretical
contributions. In both cases we highly encourage bringing an artefact to
bear during the workshop or at least pictures of such. All papers will be
four pages or less in the ACM archival
format<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates/>
.
Important dates:
Paper submission: August 1th
Notification of acceptance: August 30th
Workshop at NordiCHI 2012: October 13th & 14th, 2012
Organizers:
Aaron Houssian, Philips Research
Ingrid Mulder, Delft University of Technology & Rotterdam University of
applied sciences
Lillian Henze, Delft University of Technology
After the workshop:
Of course, with permission, position papers will be made publicly available
on the workshop website, as well as a summary of the workshop results. We
are currently in contact with key design/HCI journals about their
willingness to produce a special issue on the workshop theme: crossing
boundaries through design.
