The Impact of Technology on users: breaking or creating boundaries?
4th Human Centred Technology Postgraduate Workshop 
University of Sussex, School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences 
3/4 October 2000 
Call for participation 

Are you a postgraduate research student?   If so, then read on, the Human
Centred Technology group will be hosting its popular annual postgraduate
workshop at The Quality Hotel, Brighton on 3/4 October 2000. This event is
international and is open to all postgraduate researchers.   It offers an
opportunity to focus fresh ideas and a forum for the exchange of expertise,
the confirmation of existing collaborative relationships and the establishment
of new collaborative communities.  The heading of HCT covers a wide range of
interests within which common research questions are considered from differing
perspectives.  The diverse and interdisciplinary nature of this area can
restrict the opportunities available to students for peer review, feedback and
discussion of their work or the process of completing a postgraduate
qualification. This workshop will give postgraduate students a chance to
discuss their work and also hear presentations from leading academics at the
forefront of Human Centred Technology Research.

The theme for this yearΉs workshop will expand upon the theme of the 1999
workshop, see http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/lab/hct/hctw99/index.html.  In 2000
the focus will be upon:
1) The impact of innovative  technologies  on both new and accustomed users
and  
2) The impact of tried and tested technologies on new user groups.

If you are a postgraduate student researching humans and technology then we
want to know how what you are doing fits into this theme. You may, for
example, be interested in how humans interact with technology in different
contexts such as education or the workplace .  Alternatively, you may be
exploring the communication that occurs between humans as they interact
through technology at home or at work. The nature of your research might
involve building systems, designing interfaces, analysing or modelling human
activity; the possibilities are wide ranging.  The workshop will consist of 4
sessions all of which take a different perspective on the workshop theme.
This theme is defined broadly and is intended to provide a common thread
within presentations and a focus for discussion. In each of the four sessions
there will be a series of short presentations from students and a panel led
group discussion of the ideas presented.   In order to increase the
opportunity for every participant to  receive appropriate feedback and
discussion of their work all participants will have, in addition to presenting
their  own project, the role of reviewing someone else's work and motivating
the discussion of this particular presentation.

Attendance 

Please note that attendance at this workshop has been high in previous years
and numbers of participants are restricted so speedy acknowledgement of
interest is desirable.

If you would like to be involved in this workshop you need to do 2
things:

1 - send us your name and email address indicating that you are planning to
attend so that we can add you to the email list and ensure that you receive
further details.  If you are unsure if your area of work fits in with the
conference then please email us telling us something about what you are doing
and we will advise you.  Email [log in to unmask]

2 - send us a twelve hundred word summary about your research highlighting the
way what you are doing addresses the workshop theme  AND in particular how you
address the target question for one of the four sessions. We will need to have
this by 30 June 2000.  Email it in pdf or html format to

About the HCT Group at Sussex

The Human-Centred Technology (HCT) group within the school of cognitive and
computing sciences conducts cutting edge research into the design of human
centred systems for communication and learning.  Its main objectives are: 

1. to develop frameworks for understanding how people interact with and
communicate through technology, and 
 
2. to apply this understanding to develop and support innovation.  The group
carries out research in a number of areas including: 

… collaborative and networked technologies
… intelligent agents
… visualisation and medical information systems
… Interactivity, external representations, multimedia and virtual reality
… telematics and virtual collaborative environments
… software design and reuse
… interactive learning environments and educational software
… intelligent tutoring systems

About previous Workshops

For the past three  years the HCT group has hosted three extremely successful
workshops which have brought together both established experts from academia
and industry and new talent from within the European community.  The workshops
have provided a forum both for the presentation and for the discussion of new
innovative ideas amongst those working within the area of Human Centred
Technology.  Thus fostering interaction between interdisciplinary research
areas and collaboration within Europe.  To find out more go to
