Workshops
=========
The workshop programme for HCI 2006 consists of ten workshops covering a

Engage! Nine of these workshops will be held on 11th or 12th September,
the two days prior to the main HCI conference programme. The tenth

conference programme.
The workshop descriptions are included below, with links showing where

complementary but distinct themes, in particular W3 & W8, and W1 & W5.)
To attend a workshop usually requires a position statement from each
