SIGDOC 2002: Connect!!! in Toronto October 20-23
October 20-23, 2002 Toronto, ON, Canada at the Toronto Downtown Hilton
In an increasingly connected world, documentation cannot be produced in isolation. Our dependencies on other team members, and on expertise from related disciplines, require both a broad understanding and a deep appreciation of our industry and our place in it. This year's conference will focus on making connections: with our peers in industry and academe, between theory and practice, between writing and technology. The host city for SIGDOC 2002 is Toronto, Canada: a center for arts, culture, education, and industry, and the world's most multicultural city. The Toronto Downtown Hilton is easy walking distance from a wide variety of restaurants and attractions, at the heart of Toronto's entertainment district. SIGDOC is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group in Documentation, a professional organization dedicated to advancing discussion in documentation for and with computers. SIGDOC 2002 will be the 20th SIGDOC conference, which shows a remarkable sense of restraint in our use of numbers. In addition to recognizing this year's Rigo and Diana award recipients, the SIGDOC 2002 program will include invited talks, panel discussions, posters, demonstrations, and tutorials. Tutorial presenters will be provided with an honorarium, and reimbursed for travel. Papers, panels, and tutorials are solicited on, but not limited to, the following subjects: Connecting theory and practice Connecting education and experience Connecting technical communications and other disciplines, such as human factors, information retrieval, and software engineering Proposals are due April 6th, and papers for accepted proposals are due June 8th. Both proposals and papers will be peer reviewed. Final acceptance of papers for publication is contingent on registration for the conference. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, as well as considered for publication in the ACM's Journal of Computer Documentation. If you are not able to present your paper, a publication fee equivalent to your conference registration will be charged.
