OzCHI is the annual non-profit conference for the Computer-Human
Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Human Factors and
Ergonomic Society of Australia and Australia's leading forum for the
latest in HCI research and practice. OzCHI attracts a broad
international community of researchers, industry practitioners,
academics and students. Participants come from a range of backgrounds,
including interface designers, user experience (UX) practitioners,
information architects, software engineers, human factors experts,
information systems analysts and social scientists.
The conference theme is human-nature, which highlights the
challenges we all face in the endeavour to tame the environment without
destroying it, so as to ensure our continuing existence. Join us in
Brisbane to explore and understand the design and role of contemporary
interactive technologies.
We invite contributions on all topics related to Human-Computer
Interaction, Interaction Design and the design of interactive
technologies. Areas include practical, technical, empirical and
theoretical aspects of Human-Computer Interaction. We welcome
submissions from design, architecture, engineering, planning, social
science, creative industries, and other related disciplines.
Submissions will be accepted in various categories as described
below. All submissions must be written in English and follow formatting
guidelines in the paper template. Both long and short papers will
undergo a double-blind review by an international panel and evaluated on
the basis of their significance, originality, and clarity of writing.
This review will be based on the full text of the submitted paper.
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference
Proceedings Series available from the ACM Digital Library.
Long papers report on innovative, original, and completed research,
which is relevant, significant, and interesting to the HCI community.
Short papers present ideas that are emerging and would benefit from
discussion with members of the HCI community. These papers may include
work-in-progress, experiences of reflective practitioners, and first
drafts of novel concepts and approaches.
Workshops are half-day and full-day sessions on topics that
contribute to community building around a specific HCI topic. Topics may
include methods, practices, and other areas of interest and that
support active participation beyond presentation.
Doctoral consortium is a full-day intensive session for research
students. A panel of experienced HCI researchers provides advice and
guidance.
Awards are presented to the highest quality papers and reviews.
