First Call for Papers

ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems

http://www.eics2011.org

Pisa, Italy | June 13-16, 2011

------------------------------------------------------------------------


EICS 2011 is the third international conference devoted to the
engineering of interactive computing systems. EICS focuses on methods,
techniques, and the tools that support them, for designing and
developing interactive systems. It brings together people who study or
practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from the HCI,
Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, CSCW, Ubiquitous
Pervasive Systems and Game Development communities. Systems of interest
include traditional as well as non-traditional interactive systems,
development processes (e.g. agile software development), design tools
(e.g. multi-device design), frameworks and APIs (e.g. for multi-display
environments, tangible objects), new and emerging modalities (e.g.
touch, gestures, tangible objects) and innovative applications (e.g.
mobile and ubiquitous games, touch-based monitoring and control
environments).

The EICS conference series encompasses the former EHCI (Engineering
Human Computer Interaction, sponsored by IFIP 2.7/13.4), DSV-IS
(International Workshop on the Design, Specification and Verification of
Interactive Systems), CADUI (International Conference on Computer-Aided
Design of User Interfaces) and TAMODIA (International Workshop on Task
Models and Diagrams). EICS is supported by ACM's special interest groups
on computer-human interaction (SIGCHI) and software engineering (SIGSOFT
pending), and provides a unique venue for cross-fertilization between
software engineering and human-computer interaction.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Submissions are invited that address some aspect of the engineering of
human-computer interactive systems. Topics include but are not limited
to:

* Modeling interaction and interactive systems,
* Engineering processes for interactive systems (e.g. design,
implementation, prototyping and testing),
* Integrating interaction design into the software development process,
* Interactive systems specification,
* Requirements engineering for interactive systems,
* Software architectures for interactive systems,
* Dynamic generation/composition of interactive systems,
* Specifying users' activities.
* Tool support for engineering interactive systems
* Frameworks and APIs for interactive systems (e.g. API usability,
interaction driven API design)
* Innovative Interactive Applications
