~~~~~~~ BRITISH HCI GROUP NEWS SERVICE ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/ ~~ ~~ All news to: [log in to unmask] ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ NOTE: Please reply to article's originator, ~~ ~~ not the News Service ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers for the Workshop "Mobile HCI and Technical ICTD: A Methodological Perspective" A Workshop at the Mobile HCI 2010 Conference September 7, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop at MobileHCI 2010 Tuesday, September 7, 2010 Lisbon, Portugal http://www.uctictd2010.org/ Submission Deadline: Friday April 30, 2010 THEME ----- The workshop "Mobile HCI and Technical ICTD: A Methodological Perspective" invites papers with focus on experiences, lessons learned, success stories and failures of technical ICTD research especially with focus on the utilization of User Centered Design and Mobile HCI research methods. Technical Information and Communication Technologies for Development (technical ICTD) research, which refers to ICTD topics specifically relevant for computer scientists and engineers, lacks appropriate research methods along the entire development lifecycle spanning design, development, deployment, evaluation and monitoring. Mobile HCI has a great set of research methods but applying them unchanged in technical ICTD will fail due to the specific cultural, infrastructural and governmental context of developing countries. In this workshop we want to bring together people who are active in Mobile HCI and ICTD research to elaborate on Mobile HCI methods and discuss their application for technical ICTD. GOALS ----- The aim of this workshop is to elaborate on the application of Mobile HCI methods for technical ICTD research and to come up with a set of appropriate research methodologies for technical ICTD and a roadmap of action items of how to improve current technical ICTD research. We will provide a forum to share information, results, and ideas on current research in this area and encourage discussions about future topics concerning technical ICTD research. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences and Lessons Learned in technical ICTD research - Success stories and failures of technical ICTD research - Utilization and combination of Mobile HCI research methods in technical ICTD research - Utilization of User Centered Design in technical ICTD research - Methodologies and Approaches of technical ICTD development lifecycle (e.g. rapid prototyping, participatory design) - Definitions of technical ICTD metrics - Representation of technical ICTD metrics (e.g. personas, scenarios, use case definitions) IMPORTANT DATES --------------- - Friday April 30, 2010 - Submission Deadline - Friday May 21, 2010 - Notification of Acceptance - Friday June 4, 2010 - Camera-ready copies - Tuesday September 7, 2010 - Workshop Date PARTICIPATION AND SUBMISSION ----------------------- We accept original and unpublished contributions that are not under review somewhere else in the following two categories 1) Participants are expected to submit a 2 page position paper to state their interest. 2) Participant presenters should submit a 4 page short paper, covering one or more workshop topics. Authors of accepted presentation papers are invited to demonstrate their submission during the workshop. Each presentation should not exceed 10 minutes and will be followed up by a 5 minute round of discussion. Paper submissions must be anonymized and should be submitted following the submission instructions at the workshop webpage (http://www.uctictd2010.org/) as PDF file conform to the Mobile HCI 2010 main proceedings format. To participate at the workshop at least one author of accepted papers needs to register for the Mobile HCI 2010 conference itself. PUBLICATION ----------- Workshop results will be summarized and published on the workshop website. Selected outcomes and contributions will be considered to be published in a workshop summary paper. The selected best workshop paper will be nominated for inclusion in a Special Issue of the International Journal on Mobile HCI (IJMHCI).
