Call for reviewers for 2003 AoIR conference
by Matthew Allen 09 Jan '03

09 Jan '03

Dear all you will by now have seen the call for papers for the IR v4 conference 'Broadening the Band' in Toronto, 2003. As Program chair, I wish to invite members of the Air-list to nominate to act as reviewers of proposals. A reviewer will need to reviewer a number of 700-word abstracts, provide basic feedback, according to set criteria. A reviewer will also provide assistance to the sub-chairs responsible for groups of papers in finalising their recommendations for inclusion in the program. This work will need to be done in March. There is an interactive website that will be used for managing the review process (the other side of the conference submission website :) ). I expect that, with a longer abstract, we will actually make the job a little easier (if slightly more time), because there will be more substance on which to choose for or against a paper. I note that, in particular, we will need some reviewers fluent in French; and we will need reviewers for creative/aesthetic presentations as well as more traditional scholarly papers. Reviewers will shortly be able to join a specialised mailing list aircon through which all review/program business will be conducted. To this end, please reply to me directly m.allen(a)curtin.edu.au using the subject line AOIR conference reviewer providing a brief (50 word) description of your interests and nominating one or two of the following topic areas which we are using to manage the review process (note - these are not streams :) ) Communities and Interaction Digital aesthetics Economics and Commerce Ethics, Law, Policy Gaming Globalisation/Localisation Histories Identities and Diversity Informatics Media and Communication Politics/(In)Equality Research methods, metrics, approaches Social Uses and Consequences Surveillance, Privacy, Security Teaching / Learning / Education Technologies and Infrastructures Theories / Philosophies Finally, if you are interested in taking on the more substantial responsibility of sub-chair for a particular topic/area, please indicate that too; if you can think of a suitable colleague who might not have received this email who would like to be involved, feel free to forward it to them. Best wishes Matthew Allen Program Chair, IRv4, Broadening the Band, Toronto 2003

Call for Papers - Internet Research 4.0: Broadening the Band - 4th Annual AoIR Conference
by Steve Jones 06 Jan '03

06 Jan '03

[please distribute widely] Call for Papers - IR 4.0: Broadening the Band International and Interdisciplinary Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers in Toronto, Ontario, Canada October 16-19 Lead organizer Knowledge Media Design Institute at the University of Toronto Submission site opens: January 15, 2003 Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2003 Conference Website: http://www.aoir.org/2003 | http://www.ecommons.net/aoir Digital communications networks such as the Internet are changing the way people interact with each other, with profound effects on social relations and institutions. Yet many remain excluded from access and meaningful participation. It is timely to consider who is included, who is excluded and what we now know about the composition and activities of online communities. Internet Research (IR) 4.0 will feature a variety of perspectives on Internet, organized under the theme Broadening the Band. As in previous conferences, the aim is to develop a coherent theoretical and pragmatic understanding of the Internet and those that are empowered and disenfranchised by it. IR 4.0 will bring together prominent scholars, researchers, creators, and practitioners from many disciplines, fields and countries for a program of presentations, panel discussions, and informal exchanges. IR 4.0 will take place at the Hilton Hotel in the heart of downtown Toronto. The conference is hosted by a team led by the Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI) and its partners at the University of Toronto. The IR 4.0 steering and working committees reflect the growing pan-Canadian network of Internet researchers, including members from Quebec, Alberta, and New Brunswick, in addition to the local contingent from Toronto, York and Ryerson Universities. This year's theme, Broadening the Band, encourages wide participation from diverse disciplines, communities, and points of view. Under the umbrella theme, contributors are called to reflect upon, theorize and articulate what we know from within the emerging interdisciplinary space known as Internet Research. In a cultural sense, the theme calls attention to the need to examine access, inclusion and exclusion in online communities. What role do race, gender, class, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, age, geography, and other factors play in the degree of online participation? What are the indicators of meaningful participation? In a technical sense, the theme points to the development of broadband, wireless and post-internet networks and applications that are currently coming on-stream including community, private, public as well as national research networks (e.g. CA*net 4, Internet 2). We plan to use these technologies to make the conference an internet-mediated and internationally accessible event. In an organizational sense, the theme reflects a widening of AoIR's reach to include more researchers and constituencies involved in the evolution of the Internet. French language presentations will be included in the call for papers for the first time. Researchers and practitioners in the arts and culture sectors are encouraged to participate alongside social scientists and humanities scholars and researchers. In a thematic sense, "Broadening the Band" suggests widening the scope of topics and problematics considered within past conferences, while retaining the consistent emphasis on rigorous research work. This call for papers thus initiates an inclusive search for theoretical and methodological correspondences between this expanding theme and the many disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches that are required to address it with precision. Possible Topics: - Who is bridging what: questions and answers on the digital divide - New directions in digital art - E-me, e-you? (E- Health, E-Governance, E-Commerce,E-Business, E-games, E-entertainment, E-other) - Ethnicity, Race, Identity, Gender, Sexuality, Language(s) and Diverse Cultural Contexts Online - Who Decides: Ethics, Law, Politics and Policy of the Internet - We can't measure that, can we? Meaningful Indicators for Internet Access, Participation, Use and Effects - Who owns what? Value, Space, and Commons on the Internet - Is there an Author, a Publisher, or writing on the internet? - Transformed by Technics: New Technologies and The Post-Internet Age - Who is watching your computer, when You're not watching it.... - When we are glocal: the internet in global and local manifestations - I put my lesson plans on the internet, what changed? Teaching, Learning and the Internet - Digital media and terror/ism: global flows, economies, and surveillance - Social movements, net-based activism, and hactivism in a global arena - Which methods, whose theories? determining approaches to internet research - Why did we digitize that, and what's it worth? Exploring the value of digital content This list is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather to trigger ideas and encourage submissions from a range of disciplines. The organizers will take an active role in generating and joining the various interests into appropriate formats. Submission of Proposals The Association of Internet Researchers invites paper, presentation, and panel proposals from AoIR members and non-members on topics that address social, cultural, political, economic, and aesthetic aspects of the Internet. We welcome interdisciplinary submissions as well as submissions from within specific disciplines. French language presentations will be included in the call for papers for the first time. We especially seek panel proposals that establish connections across disciplines, institutions, and/or continents. We also encourage creative presentations that will make use of Internet technologies and artistic techniques. Proposals for papers should be in the form an approximately 500-750 word abstract. Creative presentations and demonstration projects should consist of an approximately 500-750 word abstract, plus brief illustrative material. Panels will generally include three to four papers or presentations. The panel organizer should submit an approximately 500 word statement describing the session topic, include abstracts of up to 250 words for each paper or presentation, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session. Abstracts and proposals may be submitted for review in English or in French. Papers, presentations and panels will be selected from the submitted abstracts on the basis of peer review, coordinated and overseen by the Program Chair, assisted by sub-chairs with expertise in specific areas of scholarly and aesthetic knowledge relating to the Internet. Proposals can be for three types of contribution to the conference: - papers, creative presentations, and panels. Each person is invited to submit a proposal for 1 paper or 1 presentation. People may also propose a panel of papers or presentations, of which their personal paper or presentation must be a part. Average time allotted for a paper or creative presentation will be 20 minutes. Average time allotted for a panel will be 1 hour and 30 minutes, including discussion time. Detailed information about format of submission and review is available at the conference website http://www.aoir.org/2003.

Canadian graduate students outside of central Canada should note that funds may be available for travel and subsistence. Notice will be sent out to the AoIR list as soon as funding commitments are confirmed. To ensure diverse participation, registration fees will be kept low for presenters, and a billeting and room sharing system will be established. Simultaneous French language translation will be available (subject to budgetary considerations) in certain sessions. Pre-Conference Workshops Prior to the conference, there will be a limited number of pre-conference workshops which will provide participants with in-depth, hands-on and/or creative opportunities. We invite proposals for these pre-conference workshops; local presenters are encouraged to propose workshops that will invite visiting researchers into their labs or studios or locales. Proposals should be no more than 1000 words, and should clearly outline the purpose, methodology, structure, costs, equipment and minimal attendance required, as well as explaining its relevance to the conference as a whole. Proposals will be accepted if they demonstrate that the workshop will add significantly to the overall program in terms of thematic depth, hands on experience, or local opportunities for scholarly or artistic connections. These proposals and all inquires regarding pre-conference proposals should be submitted as soon as possible to the Conference Chair aoir(a)ecommons.net, and will be accepted up to June 15th. Notification of terms and space allocations will be sent out as soon as details are confirmed, with final acceptance required by June 30, 2003.

!! Corrected Version!! -> Call for Submissions-Toronto Usability Summit
by Daniel Ponech 04 Jan '03

04 Jan '03

Apologies for the second message. The email address for submissions in the previous announcement was invalid and has been corrected in the version appended below. ----- Call For Proposals Toronto Usability Summit 2003 Conference Description The Toronto Usability Summit (TUS) is a multi-disciplinary gathering of usability professionals dedicated to advancing the skills and qualifications of practitioners in a wide range of fields. Conference participants include user interface designers and users, software developers, managers of human-computer interface projects, human factors practitioners, interface evaluators and testers, industrial designers, teachers of HCI, information architects, researchers in human-computer interaction, and professionals in other areas seeking to gain an understanding of how HCI relates to their specialties. Submission Types Presentations Presentation sessions focus on a practitioner¹s ideas and experience with usability methods, skills, philosophy, design, business case studies, or other relevant topics. No commercially available or vendor products will be accepted for demonstrations. Presenters should refrain from any product endorsements. Workshops Workshops provide participants with the opportunity to develop new methodologies, techniques, and skills. Workshop topics range from practical guidelines and standards to methods and techniques. Topics - Tutorials cover a wide range of HCI-related topics. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Usability & aesthetics - Requirements capture and analysis techniques - User interface development software (Visio, Tinderbox, Gene) - Practices and/or methodologies for design, cognitive engineering, usability engineering, etc. - Usability techniques (guerrilla, low fidelity prototyping, etc.) - Information visualization and retrieval - Multimedia, multimodal interfaces - Design for non-traditional systems, e.g., games - Web design and applications - Interfaces for home, wearable computing, etc. - HCI in corporate settings Submissions on emerging topics such as new techniques for usability or for capturing and reusing HCI knowledge, as well as new interfaces for the home or biomedical devices are encouraged. Target Audiences Beginner/Generalist Sessions designed for people who are new to usability should assume little or no prior knowledge or experience with usability concepts and techniques. These sessions should focus on bringing new people up to a minimum competency in a subject area as quickly as possible, so that they may take advantage of a broader range of sessions at this same conference. UPA will attempt to schedule these sessions early in the conference week. Advanced/Specialised These topics teach new skills to current practitioners, enhance existing skills, share knowledge and experience to broaden one¹s knowledge of both craft and business, and build the usability community. Experienced practitioners are the people most likely to encounter new problems and issues (beyond basic skills), and need to have knowledge of both techniques and resources that will help them cope with any challenge. Duration Presentations last approximately 50 min. Workshops are three hours long. Proposal Requirements Prepare a PDF format of the proposal, no longer than two pages, for review purposes. It must: - indicate the type (Presentation, Workshop) - identify the target audience (Beginner/Generalist, Advanced/Specialist) - describe the learning objectives - describe the material that will be covered - briefly outline how the tutorial will be conducted - in cases of multiple instructors, indicate role and percentage involvement of each instructor If the proposed workshop or presentation has been delivered previously, the proposal should include where the tutorial has been given and how it will be modified for TUS 2003. For the attendee background, include any prerequisites such as knowledge of HCI content, processes, and procedures. State any skills that are needed to understand tutorial content or to complete the exercises.
