The 6th Symposium of the Workgroup HCI&UE of the Austrian Computer Society will take place in Carinthia (Southern Austria) this year from Sept. 16th to Sept. 17th.

The topics are structured alongside (but not limited to) the following three dimensions:

We encourage and cordially invite authors to submit their original work related to all topics of HCI and Usability enumerated as

a) long papers (>=14 pages), b) short papers (between 8 and 14 pages), c) posters (2 pages).

Proposals for workshops or special tracks are welcome, too. Accepted conference papers will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS ===================

***Industrial Track: Putting HCI into Best Practice***

The Industrial Track is designed as a means to bring together practitioners of different industrial areas as well as practitioners with scientists.

Thus, the conference strongly encourages submission of industry-focused contributions, showcases and use case studies. Submissions on a variety of topics are sought – particularly those that identify new directions in the practical implementation and use of Human Computer Interaction methodologies and tools. We welcome experience reports, war stories (success and failure) and lessons learned.

Submissions should meet the following conditions:

At least one author of each Industrial Track submission should be from a company (rather than from a university).

The paper should report about industrial or other real-world experiences, projects etc.

Presentations may include a short demo of the solution, methodology, or system.

Contributions should concentrate on the HCI aspects behind the products rather than being pure marketing presentations.

Presentations should raise awareness in the research community of the problems of practical applications.

Topics include the following aspects:

– Multi-platform delivery / device independence – Rich internet applications - E-learning systems and content - Simulations - Serious games - Mobile applications - e-commerce applications and HCI issues - Web 2.0 and e-learning 2.0 - Tool& Methodology Choices, Tradeoffs, Decisions - Business Cases on HCI (financial issues, financing issues, ROI etc.) – Usability issues (how to do it right) - Remote usability evaluation – Automated usability assessment (experiences / limitations) – Usability in production environments – Clean Room conditions – Human-Robot interaction

Suggestions for further topics are welcome! Organize your own workshop!

***Special Issue of JITT***

Authors of high rated papers on e-tourism or related areas will also be invited to submit an extended version of their work for a special issue of the Journal of Information Technology and Tourism (JITT, http://ojs.modul.ac.at/index.php/jitt).

***Free admittance to AAPC 2010***

Attendees of USAB 2010 are entitled to visit the co-located „Alps Adria Psychology Conference“ (http://aapc2010.uni-klu.ac.at http://aapc2010.uni-klu.ac.at) for free – and vice versa.

Looking forward to seeing you in beautiful Carinthia,

Gerhard Leitner Martin Hitz Andreas Holzinger
