-----------------------------------------
2006 Research Symposium of the
Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction
American Society for Information Science and Technology
Human Computer Interaction in Information-Intensive
Environments
Sunday, November 5, 2006, 8:30am-12:30 pm,
Hilton Austin, Austin, TX
Call for Papers and Posters
Perhaps the single development that has most affected
the way in which the world accesses, examines and uses
information is the computer and the use of interactive
technologies. Unlike the interactivity coupled with ATMs,
online ticket purchasing and accounting systems, the
interactivity associated with information-intensive
environments demands complex tools, innovative forms of
interaction, and novel ways of visualizing and representing
content. In this context, the study of human computer
interaction (HCI) is unique due to the focus on interactions
among people, content and systems. This half-day
Symposium aims to rejuvenate the use and study of HCI
within the information science context.
The symposium will start with a review of current
challenges and developments by a panel of experts in the
field of HCI in information-intensive environments. Next,
several participants will have an opportunity to present
their research in 15-minute presentations. A poster
session will follow. The symposium will end with an award
for the best poster and lunch.
Submissions are welcome in two categories:
1. Research papers: 3-4 pages (1,500-2,000 words)
2. Research posters: 1-2 pages (750-1,000) words
In both categories submissions should describe results
from completed or ongoing research projects related to the
scope of the symposium.
Submissions should be emailed to hci dal.ca by
September 10, 2006; applicants will be notified by
September 22. Accepted submissions will be posted to
the SIG-HCI website.
Participants must register with ASIS&T for the
Symposium. Early registration for ASIS&T ends on
September 22, 2006. To register for the Symposium:
