Call for Papers The conference theme for 2011, entitled "Integrated Practice Inclusive Design", maintains the strands of interest that were established in the conferences since 2007 and places emphasis on 'inclusivity' both in practice and design.
The field of HCI is characterised by a convergence of knowledge from different fields into research that is often innovative in its process as much as in its practical or academic outcomes. In an increasingly competitive climate for all research the theme for this year's conference underlines a concern for innovation through integrated practice therefore upholding the existing interest in the HCI community for cross-disciplinary design processes. Contributions are welcome from disciplines that reside within the sciences but also from those located in the arts and humanities.
While iHCI research continues to be located within the sciences submissions from art & design practice and the humanities are also welcome. With respect to the implementation of technologies in and across society and cultures the call this year also welcomes research that demonstrates inclusivity in its design; that is, extending or improving the experience of technology for wider groups of users in society.
