Conference Topics

Submissions of workshops, full papers, short papers, and demos, are invited on all topics from the domain of interaction design for children, including, but not limited to:

* Methods, techniques, and guidelines for requirements analysis, design, and evaluation of interactive systems for "children as a diverse group" (young people of different gender and age, with special needs, from different cultures or ethnic groups).
* Emerging or new technologies for children (e.g. innovative educational simulations, interactive games, mobile communications devices, wireless embedded technologies, robots, accessible fabrication devices, "smart" materials, authoring/programming tools, interactive playgrounds, intelligent environments).
* The impact that such technologies can have on children's lives and personalities.
* Ethnographic and case studies of children's use of interactive systems in schools, at home, in hospitals, in public spaces.
* Usability, enjoyability, accessibility, and safety issues, with particular reference to children
* Novel theoretical models of interaction with special relevance to children.
* Design for children's civic involvement, democracy, physical and emotional well-being, and social awareness of environmental, ethical, ethnographic or cultural issues.
* Interactive technology for children from an adult's perspective.

All accepted full papers, short papers, and demos, will be presented at the IDC2010 conference, and will appear in the IDC2010 proceedings. The extended abstracts of accepted workshops will be also included in the conference proceedings.
