ACM CHIMIT '09 - Computer-Human Interaction for Management of Information
Technology
November 7-8, 2009, Baltimore, MD (Immediately after USENIX LISA, also in Baltimore)
Since 2007 CHIMIT has been the leading forum for discussing topics on IT management
with a focus on people, business, and technology. At CHIMIT, researchers and
practitioners share issues, solutions, and research drawing upon fields such as human-
computer interaction, human factors, computer systems, and management and service
sciences to address cognitive, social, and technical issues in managing the increasing
complexity of modern Information Technology (IT) systems.
Information Technology (IT) is central to modern life. From our homes to our largest
enterprises, we are surrounded by software and hardware components that support our
work and personal lives: wireless access points, network routers, firewalls, virus
scanners, databases, web servers, storage and backup systems, etc. These components
exist to permit us to do other things, e.g., manage inventory, communicate with friends
or customers, sell products through websites, yet all too often managing the underlying IT
infrastructure takes time and resources away from the real work at hand. IT systems
have grown increasingly complex over the years, and the cost for keeping the
infrastructure running is now a significant burden. We are at a turning point where
further advances in technology and business efficiency and growth require fundamentally
new approaches to IT system design, management, and services.
CHIMIT is an ACM-sponsored conference, and accepted Paper and Short Paper
submissions will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. We are also soliciting
submissions for Panels, Courses, and a non-archival Poster Session for work in progress.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
? User Studies of IT infrastructure management in context, exposing user needs, pain
points, work practices, and examples of both successful and unsuccessful work.
? Design - approaches to bring about improved, human-centered IT systems.
? Experimental Studies on the usage of new or existing IT systems.
? Tools and Techniques for improved administration, e.g., visualizations of system
behavior, or collaborative interfaces.
? Automation approaches to reduce administration workload or improve productivity.
? Organizational Knowledge - how can shared knowledge improve IT management.
? Processes and Practices - examples of best practices and improved processes in IT
management.
? New Technologies - how will the changing technological landscape (e.g., Cloud
Computing, pervasive mobile devices, etc.) affect IT management?
? IT Beyond the Enterprise - what are the implications now that we're doing backups,
network configuration, etc. in the home?

Great information on the Computing conference. The conference will be very much helpful and useful for the people in the Computing Industry and Software industry. By the way I too have participated in the Conference which is the Worlds largest and virtual conference on Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing Conference 2009 or cloudslam 2009 is the event covering latest trends and innovations and technologies of the Cloud Computing. Cloudslam conference is the 1st annual conference on cloud computing. I got a good opportunity to meet and talk with the world's leading experts of Cloud Computing.
