'Across the Spectrum' at Designing Interactive Systems 2004

AIGA Experience Design folks may be familiar with the Designing Interactive Systems conferences, and with the host organisation, ACM SIGCHI, which collaborates with AIGA on the Designing for User Experiences (DUX) conferences. 

The announcement of the Designing Interactive Systems 2004 (DIS2004) conference, on the theme of 'Across the Spectrum', follows.

DESIGNING INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS - DIS2004
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA 
1-4 August 2004
http://www.sigchi.org/DIS2004/
---------------------------------------------------------

The theme of DIS2004 is 'Across the Spectrum'. We seek to 
encompass the diverse and simultaneously inclusive nature 
of the discipline of interaction design. We are 
addressing the themes of: inter-disciplinarity, the 
relationships between social and work processes, the 
nature of information, aesthetics and emotion, as well as 
presenting new paradigms of interaction. With this 
approach we hope to create an arena for debate and 
reflection on the future of the discipline of 
interaction design. 

We have been very pleased with both the amount and 
quality of the submissions to DIS2004. We accepted 
30 full papers and design cases from over 160 submissions.

DIS2004 co-chairs
