CALL FOR PAPERS
DIS 2014 WORKSHOP: ENVIRONMENTS FOR CREATIVE INTERACTION DESIGN PROCESSES
DIS 2014 workshop, Vancouver: June 21, 2014
Website: http://pit.au.dk/DIS-Env
Description: The theme of the workshop is to examine the nature of creative processes as part of designing interactive systems. In particular, the workshop will focus on the how we can organize design sessions to improve creative processes, for instance by setting up environments or spaces that support creative activities. In order to provide insights for how such environments can be set up, the workshop will explore a number of themes related to creative design processes, including, but not limited to: Individual and social activities, Creativity constraints, Transformation of design ideas, Generative design materials, and Creativity methods.
To participate: In order to address various perspectives on and approaches to creativity in interaction design processes, and to promote cross-pollination of ideas across these varying perspectives in the workshop, we invite contributions in the following categories:
*1) Design methods and techniques*
Specific methods or techniques, preferably well-tested in practice, that are intended to facilitate creativity and innovation in design processes. These may address ways of involving users throughout all or stretches of a design process, or they may focus on specific events such as workshops, mock-up sessions etc. Contribu-tions may also present methods or techniques that facilitate turning creative and innovative user input into viable design solutions.
*2) Theoretical perspectives*
We also invite contributions that address ways of understanding, analysing and discussing creativity and innovation in the design process. These may address the nature of creativity, theories on collaborative innovation, transformation of ideas into design solutions, artefact-mediated innovation etc.
*3) Case studies*
We further invite participants to contribute with case studies including micro-analytic studies of design sessions that present examples of processes leading to successful innovative design solutions. The case studies should focus on the process by which the innovative solutions came forth rather than on the resulting products or prototypes. Through the selection of participants for the workshop we will strive to cover a broad range of domains from urban settings, the workplace, the home, as well as digital art.
We are also soliciting proposals for hand-on activities in which a specific method for collaborative design innovation is carried out by workshop participant.
The format for position paper is 2-4 pages in the ACM Extended Abstract format: http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/format
*Submissions* must be mailed to: DIS.Environment@cavi.au.dk mailto:DIS.Environment@cavi.au.dk
*Deadline: *March 21, 2014.
