However, in order to be able to design usable iTV services that ensure a positive experience for viewers, designers need to be sure which aspects of the design knowledge relevant to other computer systems and to traditional TV (embedded in models, tools, guidelines, etc.) are also relevant to iTV. This will allow them to modify and to fill in the gaps as necessary. This workshop aims to bring together iTV developers and HCI specialists to establish the current state of our knowledge in this area, to develop an HCI research agenda for iTV and to identify and extend the research community. The workshop is intended for practitioners working in iTV production and for academics/HCI practitioners with interests in human computer interaction and digital media production. If you would like to take part, please send us a brief position paper of 1-2 pages, or a reference to an iTV product in which you have been involved. Participants will be selected on the basis of their interest in and familiarity with the topic. Position papers will be circulated beforehand and posted on the Workshop web site. We shall disseminate the workshop results at the conference via a poster and we expect the discussion to develop collaboratively into a journal paper setting an HCI research agenda for iTV. Please send position papers or queries to Lyn Pemberton: [log in to unmask] We can accept most formats, but please don't send LaTeX. Deadline for admissions is August 2nd 2002. You will have a decision by August 9th at the latest. If you need an early response, please let us know.
