8th ERCIM WORKSHOP "USER INTERFACES FOR ALL" Palais Eschenbach, Vienna, Austria 28-29 June 2004 Special Theme "User-Centred Interaction Paradigms for Universal Access in the Information Society" http://www.ui4all.gr/workshop2004/
Call for Papers ============================================================
Technical Description--------------------- The 8th ERCIM Workshop "User Interfaces for All" builds upon theresults of the seven previousWorkshops held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, 30-31 October 1995;Prague, Czech Republic, 7-8 November1996; Obernai, France, 3-4 November 1997; Stockholm, Sweden, 19-21October 1998; Dagstuhl, Germany,28 November - 1 December 1999; Florence, Italy, 25-26 October 2000;and Paris (Chantilly), France,23-25 October, 2002. The vision of User Interfaces for All advocates the proactiverealisation of the "design for all"principle in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), andinvolves the development of userinterfaces to interactive applications and telematic services, whichprovide universal access andusability to potentially all users. In the tradition of its predecessors, this Workshop aims toconsolidate recent work, and tostimulate further discussion, on the state of the art in UserInterfaces for All, and its increasingrange of applications in the emerging Information Society. Theemphasis of this year's event is on"User-Centred Interaction Paradigms for Universal Access in theInformation Society", and invitescontributions on a broad range of topics, including technological,applications and policydevelopments aiming to advance the notion of an Information Societyaccessible and acceptable by thewidest possible end user population. As a result of the increasing demand for ubiquitous and continuousaccess to information andservices, Information Society Technologies are anticipated to evolvein the current decade towards anew paradigm, characterised by computing and networking technologiespresent everywhere and embeddedin everyday objects, which are interconnected in a web-like structureand form a virtualall-encompassing computing platform. Such a platform is composed ofmultiple distributed processingand interactive units, is capable of monitoring the user and canexhibit different degrees ofintelligence. This paradigm-shift will have profound consequences onthe type, content andfunctionality of the emerging products and services, as well as onthe way people will interact withthem. The 8th ERCIM Workshop "User Interfaces for All" will thereforefocus on the new HCIchallenges arising from this evolution, and on how these will affectthe continuing efforts towardsUniversal Access in the Information Society. Scientific / technological contributions should be on concepts andtools that advance theunderstanding of, and contribute towards, Universal Access to the newcomputer-mediated virtualspaces. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, future andemerging technologies, novelcomputing paradigms, computer-mediated virtual spaces, architecturesand tools, interactionplatforms, interaction metaphors, experimental or empirical studies,etc., which bear an impact onthe scope of human access to digital content in an Information Society. Application-oriented contributions may address practice andexperience in the application ofUniversal Access principles in critical domains such as health,education, employment, etc. In thiscontext, this year's Workshop encourages contributions that elaborateupon, adopt, apply or validatea Universal Access code of practice in selected application domains. Design-oriented contributions should focus on the development and theapplication of principles ofuser-centred design in the course of universally accessible softwaredevelopment. Of particularinterest are contributions that describe and reflect successfuldesign cases. They should indicatethe progressive development of established user-centred designtechniques towards handling diversitywith respect to user, as well as functional requirements. Finally, contributions on policy developments should discuss theimpact of non-technologicalfactors, such as legislation, standardisation, technology transfer,etc., on developing a culturefor Universal Access in the Information Society, for all partiesconcerned and in particular theindustry. Policy contributions may cover success stories of the pastor identify obstacles to beaddressed by effective policy interventions.
