This is the 21st annual conference of the British Human Computer Interaction Group (a specialist group of the British Computing Society (BCS)). We invite you to submit, by 31st March 2007: * Full Papers, * Tutorial Proposals, and * Workshop Proposals, See http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/hci2007/downloads/HCI2007_CFP_first.pdf for the full CFP. There will be a subsequent call for other submission categories. --------------- Important Dates --------------- Full papers, workshops, tutorials: Submission deadline: 31/03/2007 (notification 18/05/2007) Short papers, posters, interactive experiences, panels, lab overviews, doctoral consortium: Submission deadline: 10/05/2007 (notification 17/06/2007) --------------- Submissions should report original work which has not been previously published. The conference proceedings will contain all the full papers and will be published with full ISBN by the BCS and placed in the ACM Digital Library.=20 Relevant topic areas include, but are not limited to: ubiquitous interactivity; disappearing, ambient or palpable computing; design and evaluation methods; effecting affective HCI; learning and training for HCI; interfaces for pervasive systems; interaction for the performing arts; e-security and e-safety; users with unusual requirements; mobile media access and sharing; interactive public displays; fun and games - the next generation; human-centred creativity. Additionally, the British HCI Conference has a long tradition of encouraging and publishing submissions from industry and the public sector. The HCI Practice Chair (Laura Cowen, IBM UK Ltd) encourages submissions covering: tools and methods for usability and HCI design in the industrial context; experiences in design for different user groups e.g. accessibility best practice; results of experience in practice; product evaluations; experience of training people in HCI and usability techniques. See http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/hci2007/programme/papers.asp for further information about Full Papers, which must be prepared using the conference publications format and must not exceed 10 pages including all diagrams. A 30-word summary must be attached. Online submission is required via the conference website by 18:00 GMT, Saturday 31st March 2007. At least one of the authors must register for the full conference no later than 8th June 2007, or the paper will not be included in the proceedings.=20 See http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/hci2007/organisers/ for information about the requirements for Workshop and Tutorial proposals.=20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The theme for "HCI 2007: HCI, but not as we know it" reflects the continuing spread of HCI concerns into almost all aspects of human (and machine/system) life. Researchers and practitioners are facing new challenges, such as how to balance competing demands of accessibility and security, how to add usability to novel forms of seemingly 'invisible' interface, and how to integrate physical and mental activity to best effect at the interface. * When a designer pieces together a set of environmental sensors and writes a program that coordinates them to monitor pollution automatically, where does the HCI happen?=20 * When an airport security screener checks a passenger's passport via a database while asking them standard bag-packing questions, where does the HCI happen?=20 * When a student creates a homework blog for their classmates, where does the HCI happen?=20 The answer seems to be that HCI no longer happens in standard one-to-one human-computer interactions, but across a range of different technologies, processes, groups and tasks that may not even have a recognisable interface. Our keynote speakers this year are Steve Payne, Professor of Information Systems Design, School of Informatics, Manchester University, UK, and Elizabeth Churchill - Yahoo! Research, USA.=20 The conference is organised with support from the British Human-Computer Interaction Group (a specialist group of the BCS) and Lancaster University.
