| June 22, 2011 CALL FOR PAPERS OZCHI 2011 Monday 28 November to Friday 2 December, 2011 IMPORTANT DATES Friday 17th June 2011: Friday Sept 2, 2011: OZCHI is Australia’s leading forum for work in all areas of Computer-Human Interaction. It attracts an international community of practitioners, researchers, academics and students from a wide range of disciplines including user experience designers, information architects, software engineers, human factors experts, information systems analysts, social scientists and managers. The conference also welcomes perspectives from design, architecture, engineering, planning, social science and creative industries among other disciplines. OZCHI is the annual conference of the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society of Australia (HFESA). Conference Theme The conference theme, “Design, Culture and Interaction”, reflects both the global nature of HCI and the diversity of cultures within which people incorporate interactive use of computers in their daily lives and HCI practitioners and researchers conduct their research and build their applications. Conference Topic Human-Computer interaction is changing rapidly with notable growth and advancing research in the areas of:
The conference will be held in the Manning Clarke Centre on the Australian National University campus. Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 November are devoted to workshops, tutorials and a doctoral consortium. Wednesday 30 November to Friday 2 December will contain the main body of the conference. Submissions The OZCHI committee invites original contributions on all topics related to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) including practical, technical, methodological, empirical and theoretical aspects, and, where appropriate, address the conference theme of “Design, Culture and Interaction”. All submissions must be written in English. Both long and short papers will undergo a double blind review process by an international panel and will be evaluated on the basis of their significance, originality, and clarity of writing. Accepted long papers and short papers will be available in the USB proceedings and will be included in the ACM Digital Library. At least one author of any accepted submission must register for publication in the proceedings. All submissions must use the two column OZCHI proceedings template: http://www.ozchi.org/submit/assets/ozchipaper_template2011.doc LONG PAPERS Long papers, up to 10 pages, should present original research and mature work in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Submission deadline: June 17, 2011 Cécile Paris and Nathalie Colineau, CSIRO — ICT Centre longpapers.chair[AT]ozchi.org SHORT PAPERS AND POSTERS Short papers, 4 pages in length, provide the opportunity to describe new work or work that is still in progress that could benefit from discussion with members of the HCI community. They may include experiences of reflective practitioners, preliminary work, work in progress and first drafts of novel concepts and approaches. Short papers will follow the same review process as the long papers. They will be included in the USB proceedings and archived in the ACM digital library. Submission deadline: Sept 2, 2011 Graham Farell, Swinburne University INDUSTRY TRACK Industry submissions are invited for the following categories:
Industry submissions will take the form of a proposal of up to 500 words. WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS Workshops and tutorials will be held on Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 November. Accepted workshops and tutorials will be advertised on the OZCHI 2011 website. Workshops: Proposals for half- and full-day workshops that support active participation are welcome. Topics may include methods, practices and specific areas of interest. Workshop convenors must submit a 2-page proposal outlining the purpose of the workshop, the workshop agenda, giving a brief bio of workshop convenors, specifying any preparation attendees must take prior to the workshop, and a call for attendee position papers, if required. In addition, workshop convenors who wish to be included in the conference proceedings may submit a 4-page position paper, subject to similar deadlines and peer review processes as Short Papers. Convenors may request that attendee position papers be included on the conference memory stick (though not in the full ACM conference proceedings), with the agreement of the attendee. Tutorials: Proposals for half- and full-day tutorials on conceptual frameworks, methods, techniques, and novel approaches are welcome. Tutorial convenors must submit a 2-page proposal including convenor bio(s), tutorial agenda & topics, and any preparation requirements for tutorial attendees.

The Doctoral Consortium offers PhD students a special forum where they can present, discuss and progress their research plans with peers and established senior researchers. PhD candidates wishing to attend the consortium should submit a 2 page research paper following the OZCHI Proceedings template (http://www.ozchi.org/submit/assets/ozchipaper_template2011.doc) and submit it via email to dc.chair[AT]ozchi.org. Positions at the consortium will be offered based on a review of the submitted papers. Submission deadline: Sept 2, 2011 Toni Robertson, University of Technology, Sydney dc.chair[AT]ozchi.org STUDENT CHALLENGE The OZCHI conference will be preceded by a student design challenge, where teams from around the world will have a24 hours time period to develop a solution to a given HCI research problem. The top entries will receive travel scholarships for attending OZCHI and will be invited to present their work at the conference. Truna Turner, Queensland University of Technology and ACID Enquiries and student entries should be sent by email to: sdc[AT]ozchi.org STUDENT VOLUNTEERS OZCHI actively encourages students to volunteer at the conference. Being a student volunteer is a great way to support the HCI community, meet other students in the field, and attend the premier HCI conference Australia. You will help the conference organisers with the running of the conference and support the setting-up of presentations and workshops. You will see the latest in HCI, and have fun while learning about running the conference. In return, you will get free registration. To apply, email sv.chair[AT]ozchi.org with your contact details (email, phone, university), an abstract of your research project, a resume, and the reasons why you would like to be a student volunteer. Applications close on August 26, 2011. Keynotes Keynote speakers will be announced shortly on the conference website. We look forward to your involvement at this year’s OZCHI conference.
