NEW SOCIOTECHNICAL INSIGHTS IN INTERACTION DESIGN
CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on new sociotechnical insights in interaction design (Sociotech-ID’09)
(August 25, 2008) in Uppsala, Sweden
http://itcentre.tvu.ac.uk/~jabdelno/sociotechid09
held in conjunction with the 12th IFIP TC 13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction INTERACT’2009
This workshop aims to gather researchers in HCI and CSCW who work on expanding the connection between social science research and interaction design practice under the umbrella ‘sociotechnical’. The challenge is to achieve some level of ‘translation’ between the two domains of discourse in order to improve the design of interactive systems. It is hoped the workshop will identify challenges and opportunities for a socio-technical framework in interaction design.
The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, the following areas: overview of related work in HCI and CSCW; critiques of earlier approaches; related work on sociotechnical design (e.g. participatory design, organizational informatics); actionable recommendations and guidelines for the conception, design and evaluation of interactive systems as ‘social proxies’; improved methods for the gathering and elicitation of ‘social requirements’; identifying socially responsible policies for interaction design; interaction design for web technology and social networking (e.g. web 2.0); using theories from the social sciences to inform interaction design; understanding participatory design as a sociotechnical endeavor in software engineering (e.g. agile methods; end-user development).
Position paper submissions of up to 3,000 words are invited reporting on research or experiences on any of the above topics. All papers must be written and presented in English and will be peer reviewed by at least 2 reviewers. Submissions will be done through http://itcentre.tvu.ac.uk/journal. At least one author of accepted papers needs to register for the workshop and for the conference itself.
