CFP: iConference 2011 in Seattle

Call for Participation: iConference 2011

An open conference sponsored by Information Schools of North America, Europe, and Asia

Seattle, Washington, USA
February 8 - 11, 2011
http://www.ischools.org/iConference11/2011index/

***PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 30, 2010***

Greetings to everyone interested in HCI and Information! Please forward to your colleagues!

We invite you to participate in the sixth annual conference sponsored by the iCaucus, a growing association of over 25 Schools, Faculties, and Colleges in North America, Europe and Asia that focus on Information. The iConference gathers researchers and professionals who share the goal of making a difference through the study of people, information, and technology. Under the banner "Inspiration - Integrity - Intrepidity" we seek to showcase diversity in research interests and approaches, and demonstrate how the field creates leadership and impact on a global scale.

The four days will include peer-reviewed papers, posters, and alternative events. Also being organized is a Doctoral Student Colloquium and a Junior Faculty& Postdoc Colloquium, popular venues at past iConferences. Papers and poster abstracts will be published in the ACM Digital Library. The aim is to build community and promote and share excellence in research on information challenges and opportunities. We have identified cross-cutting themes: social inclusion, context, materiality, personalization, memory. The 2011 iConference should be an exceptional venue for sharing insights and collaborating with others who share your passion and research interests. For more information on the range of topics visit the iConference web site, which includes more detail and paths to past iConferences. But do not feel constrained, this is a dynamic field that you will help shape!

The conference will be held at Seattle's Renaissance Hotel. The local host is the University of Washington Information School.

CFP: SOUPS 2010

CALL FOR POSTERS -- SOUPS 2010

Symposium On Usable Privacy and Security
July 14-16, 2010
Redmond, WA
http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/SOUPS/

Poster submissions due May 28, 2010

The 2010 Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS) will
bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and
practitioners in human computer interaction, security, and
privacy. The program will feature technical papers, workshops
and tutorials, a poster session, panels and invited talks,
and discussion sessions. Detailed information about poster
submissions appears below. For information about other submissions
please see the SOUPS web site http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2010/cfp.html

POSTERS

We seek poster abstracts describing recent or ongoing
research or experience in all areas of usable privacy and
security. Submissions should use the SOUPS poster template
(MS Word:
http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2010/soups2010-poster-abstract-template.doc
or LaTeX: http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2010/soups2010-latex-templates.zip)
and be at most two pages. Accepted poster abstracts will be
distributed to symposium participants and made available on the
symposium web site. Please follow the final submission
formatting instructions when preparing your poster abstract to
avoid the need to revise poster abstracts after acceptance
decisions are made. In addition, SOUPS will include a poster
session in which authors will exhibit their posters. Note,
poster abstracts should be formatted like short papers, not
like posters. Authors of accepted posters will be sent
information about how to prepare and format posters for the
conference.

Submit your poster using the electronic submissions page
[http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2010/submit.html].
A successful submission will display a web page confirming it,
and a confirmation email is sent to the corresponding author.
Please make sure you receive that confirmation email when you
submit, and follow the directions in that email if you
require any follow up.

We also welcome authors of recent papers (2009 to 2010) on
usable privacy and security to present your work at the SOUPS
poster session. Please submit the title and abstract of your
conference paper, full citation, and a link to the published
version.

Submissions will close at 5pm, US East Coast time, the
evening of May 28.

CFP: Transnational Times: Locality, Globality and Mobility in Technology Design and Use

CFP: Transnational Times: Locality, Globality and Mobility in Technology
Design and Use

A workshop at Ubicomp 2010
September 26, 2010 Copenhagen, Denmark

Organizers: Irina Shklovski, Silvia Lindtner, Janet Vertesi, Paul Dourish

We seek interdisciplinary scholars interested in exploring the role of ubiquitous computing, the use of information and communication technologies and the politics of technological design in transnational settings to participate in our workshop, TRANSNATIONAL TIMES, at
Ubicomp 2010. Through this workshop we aim to expand our current scholarly vocabulary for the conceptualization of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in addressing the interplay of local and global user interaction.

Current work in Ubiquitous computing is already considering the use of technologies in the developing world and marginalized users in the developed world. This workshop extends such an interest to examine interactions with ubiquitous technology in a transnational context. After all, technologies such as mobile phones, social networking applications and the internet writ large complicate the framing of use and culture as bounded by national or geographical borders, as such illuminating diverse user practices and identities. In this analytical frame we take inspiration from theorists of the global in anthropology, sociology, and HCI who focus on flows across boundaries, hybridity and transnationality.

Examples of possible papers or research topics of interest include (but are not limited to): the use of pervasive technologies such as multiplayer gaming across borders, studies of the use of social network sites among diaspora communities, use of the internet and
other ICTs in censorship state zones, the role of mobile technologies in reconfiguring the local and the global, technology in the context of international migration networks, ubiquitous computing and cross-cultural collaboration, and the role of technology in international politics. Papers that develop theoretical approaches, that examine or
report on empirical work, or that design technological artifacts are welcome, and need not be limited to "developing world" sites of interest.

We hope to attract submissions from scholars working in a range of fields across computational, social and humanistic studies, such as human computer interaction, anthropology, media studies, sociology, science and technology studies and social and cultural geography. The goal of the workshop is to assemble like minds and projects, to
develop a language and toolset appropriate for the study of ubiquitous technologies in transnational spaces, and to engage a wider community of researchers working in this area. We also hope this workshop will interest technology designers and developers currently working in non-western contexts. Full papers may later be solicited for a potential
edited volume.

TO APPLY:

Interested participants should submit a 2-4 page paper in Ubicomp Archival Format describing your current project and its contribution to the workshop topic and themes. As you prepare your paper we suggest you visit our website for more information at
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lindtner/transnationaltimes

Papers must be emailed totransnationaltimes@gmail.com by JUNE 15, 2010. Decisions will be announced by June 30.
All accepted participants should plan to attend at least one full day of Ubicomp 2010 in addition to the workshop. Registration will be handled by Ubicomp 2010's central registration page viahttp://www.ubicomp2010.org
