PERVASIVE 2004: 2nd International Conference on Pervasive Computing
Contact:
URL: www.pervasive2004.org/
Deadlines:
A vast manifold of tiny, embedded and autonomous computing and communication systems have started to create and populate a pervasive and ubiquitous computing landscape, characterized by the autonomy of their programmed behavior, the dynamics and context- awareness of services and applications they offer, the ad-hoc interoperability of services and the different modes of user interaction upon those services. This is mostly due to technological progress like the maturing of wireless networking, exciting new information processing possibilities induced by novel microprocessor technologies, low power storage systems, smart material, and motor-, controller-, sensor- and actuator technologies. A future computing scenario is envisioned in which almost every object in our everyday environment will be equipped with embedded processors, wireless communication facilities and embedded software to perceive, perform and control a multitude of tasks and functions. Since many of these objects are already able to communicate and interact with global networks and with each other, the vision of context-aware "smart appliances" and "smart spaces" has already become a reality. Service provision is based on the ability of being aware of the presence of other objects or users, and systems can be designed in order to be sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs, habits and even emotions. With pervasive computing technology embodied into real world objects like furniture, clothing, crafts, rooms, etc., those artefacts also become the interface to "invisible" services and allow to mediate between the physical and digital ( or virtual ) world via natural interaction - away from desktop displays and keyboards. Novel interface concepts for situated interaction give rise for bringing the interaction with computers "back to the real world".

Deadlines: October 27th: Submission deadline for papers
Location: Roskilde University Denmark
Date: November 27, 2003
INTRODUCTION
Roskilde University is happy to host the Third Danish HCI Research
Symposium. The aim of the symposium is to stimulate interactions among HCI
researchers from academia as well as industry through a mix of oral
presentations, discussions of posters, and keynote presentations. The
focus of the symposium is on HCI research, e.g. usability work; novel
interfaces; web design; affective computing; psychological models;
computing in music, creative arts, design, and architecture; design of
input devices; support of collaborative work; e-government; speech input;
information navigation; mobile devices; learnware; visualization; and home
computing. However, reflections on and challenges of HCI work based on
industrial experiences are highly welcomed as well.
2AD: Second International Conference on Appliance Design

URL: www.appliancedesign.org/2ad
Deadlines: Full papers: 15 December 2003 Other categories: 12 January 2004
Location: HP Labs, Bristol UK
Date: May 11-13
The Second International Conference on Appliance Design ( 2AD ) is the
international forum for the new discipline of appliance design that will
reach across historical and discipline boundaries, blending physical,
functional, interactive, graphical, and information design for new
information appliances. Of paramount concern to the broadcasting,
entertainment, computing and telecommunications industries, appliance design
represents a coherent approach to the design of new media and information
appliances and the systems in which they are embedded.

PDC 2004 - Participatory Design Conference

Deadlines: Jan 1 2004
Location: Toronto, CANADA
Date: July 27-31, 2004
"ARTFUL INTEGRATION: INTERWEAVING MEDIA, MATERIALS, AND PRACTICES"
The Participatory Design Conferences, held every two years since 1990, have brought together a multidisciplinary and international group of researchers, designers, practitioners, users, and managers who adopt distinctively participatory approaches in the development of information and communication technologies ( ICTs ).
The overall theme of the 2004 conference grows out of the earlier papers, books, and proceedings of the PDC conferences. It recognizes that an essential ingredient in design practice is the working together of multiple, heterogeneous elements. Whereas conventional design approaches emphasize the role of the designer and the creation of singular products, artful integration calls attention to the collective interweaving of people and artifacts to achieve practical, aesthetic or emancipatory syntheses. The conference will include the inauguration of an award for participatory design, named the Artful Integrators Award.

MULTIMODAL INTERACTION WITH MOBILE AND WEARABLE DEVICES
Themes
We are soliciting papers that discuss novel multimodal techniques, methods, models and tools to overcome the impoverished interfaces of the current generation of mobile devices. We would like papers that bring together the following sorts of issues in the mobile and wearable context:-
This list is not exclusive; we are keen to receive papers on any novel combination of modalities.
DIS2004 Designing Interactive Systems
Contact: dis2004-chairs@acm.org
Newslist: mailto:LISTSERV@ACM.ORG?body=subscribe DIS2004-NEWS
URL: www.sigchi.org/DIS2004/
Deadlines: papers & design cases 28 November 2003. other submissions 12 March 2004.
Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Date: 1-4 August 2004
The theme for DIS2004 is ‘across the spectrum’. Through this theme we want to generate a recognition, and celebration, of the colourful diversity of people, disciplines, practices and technologies involved in designing interactive systems. Moving across the spectrum one thinks of the artist’s palette, a colour wheel, a rainbow or a prism. Colours blending to create new colours; sometimes fusing into white, sometimes showing their different bands. DIS2004 will explore the many ways diverse elements involved in design together influence both process and result.
DIS2004 welcomes people from all disciplines related to the design of interactive systems – artists, designers, technologists, scientists, psychologists, cultural specialists, and business representatives – to participate in a rich mixture of papers, design cases, exhibitions, panels, posters and lab tours focused on designing for new media.
The focus of the DIS conferences is on the design of new media – particularly on the design process, theories of design and reflection on practice. In this it is complementary to the CHI conferences which focus on HCI, cognition, new media products and usability, and to the DUX conferences which focus on experience design from a practitioner’s perspective. DIS straddles the human-computer interaction and design communities. It provides an intimate forum for serious reflection on interaction design and new media.
DESIGN RESEARCH SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2004

Conference Themes
Journal: Design Philosophy Papers
Contact: amwillis@teamdes.com.au ( editor )
URL: www.desphilosophy.com/dpp/home.html
Submission: www.desphilosophy.com/dpp/dpp_journal/contacts/contact_us.html
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY PAPERS aims to develop and promote deeper, more fundamental understandings of design. It will explore the idea of 'the world as designed' ranging widely across the aesthetic and the technical, architecture and products, images and information, and more.
The idea is to present adventurous thinking by people from design disciplines and beyond. Issues 1 and 2 have contributions by Ezio Manzini, Tony Fry, Karsten Harries, Augustine Berque and William McNeill.
We are seeking proposals for papers/essays on several themes that have been identified for forthcoming issues ( they are
outlined in the editorial of the current issue ). This could be a good opportunity for PhD students to try out new ideas. It is a refereed journal, and we are loking for lively, engaged and rigorous writing.

Papers reflecting on practical experience of collaborative design would also be welcomed. Anticipated topics include collaborative design theory; collaborative design methods, techniques and tools; methods for studying collaborative design; studies of collaborative design; computer-supported collaborative design ( CSCD ) system requirements; CSCD systems, design and use; communication in collaborative design; computer mediated collaborative design communication; handling design issues ( e.g. sustainability ) collaboratively, and managing collaborative design. The journal will provide a primary outlet for research
publications, state of the art reviews, book reviews and correspondence discussing collaborative design.
