iHCI Dublin 2010
The Irish HCI community has continued to grow over the past number of
years and has seen much support through the past iHCI conferences, the
establishments of the ACM SIGCHI chapter and regular meetings of the
Dublin, and more recently, the Limerick Interaction Design Association
(IxDA). This coupled with the diversity in the topics and areas that
researchers, students and practitioners in Ireland are operating in,
makes it a very exciting time for the community.
To reflect both the growth of the Irish HCI community, and the broad
range of research being conducted within Ireland, the theme of this
year's conference will be 'Crossing Boundaries'. We welcome submissions
exploring, discussing or challenging the many boundaries within our
community today: the traditional boundaries between academia and
industry; the physical boundaries which influence our work; the
boundaries between creativity and code; the boundaries between research
and real-world use; and the boundaries between 'traditional' desktop
systems and mobile, tangible, or ambient interaction; and pushing
boundaries into novel or challenging spaces. More information can be
found in the conference's Call for Papers, available in the authors
section.
The two-day program will build from the very successful format of 2009
and seeks to provide a national forum through which HCI researchers,
practitioners and industry professionals in Ireland can meet, present
and discuss their ongoing work. The iHCI 2010 Programme will follow a
similar format to the previous conferences and will include an Industry
Session (Co-Ordinated by the IxDA Dublin and Limerick Groups), a Student
Forum, and a Poster and Demos Showcase along with peer-reviewed short
and full paper presentations. We are also delighted to welcome Professor
Richard Harper (Microsoft Research) to deliver the opening keynote
address.
