CALL FOR PAPERS
http://zimmer.csufresno.edu/~shliu/SAC09-HCI
This is the first year that ACM SAC includes a Human Computer
Interaction track. We encourage original, unpublished and novel papers
in this track.
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is the interdisciplinary study of the
design, development, and evaluation of user interfaces. On the user
side, communications, graphic design, linguistics, anthropology, and
cognitive psychology bring techniques relevant to maximizing user
productivity, facilitating learning, and minimizing error. On the
computing side, techniques from computer graphics, programming
languages, operating systems, and software engineering (SE) make
possible the realization of these carefully designed interfaces.
Although interface specialists and software engineers routinely work
in teams, we believe that software engineering is sometimes seen as
the “junior partner”. This track emphasizes software engineering
perspectives in HCI. That is, we’re interested in methodologies,
techniques, and tools of software design and development that assist
developers and users in absorbing and managing information on a
variety of computational devices. This is particularly challenging in
domains such as safety critical systems, or on hardware constrained
mobile devices.
We encourage submissions on throughout the software life-cycle to
support HCI activities. More specifically:
Techniques for
• Domain-Specific or End-User Programming
• Formal Models of Interfaces Requirements and Design
• Model-Driven Approaches (Visual Languages and Environments)
• Quality Engineering (Software/User Testing and Metrics)
• Requirements Engineering
• Software Architecture and Design
• Software Reuse and Evolution for HCI
• Software Tools and Environments to Support HCI Software Development
• Web Technologies
in domains such as
• Education and Training
• Mobile Computing
• Interfaces for Users with Disabilities
• Safety Critical Systems
• Ubiquitous Computing
• Virtual and Augmented Reality
Paper Submission Guidelines:
Contributions should be original and not published elsewhere. Reports
of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences,
engineering, and business areas; reports of successful technology
transfer to new problem domains; and reports of industrial experience
and descriptions of new innovative systems are encouraged. Submissions
should be made through the conference management system, eCMS system
at http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2009/. The manuscript file format should
be PDF with body not exceed 4,000 words (approximately 15 pages,
double-spaced, 12-point size). The final camera-ready copies should
follow ACM/SAC format (Templates available at
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/downloads09.htm). The total
number of final pages without any extra page charge will be five.
Authors are allowed up to 8 pages following the templates.
A double blind review process will be followed for all submissions.
Hence, the author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the
body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person.
This is to facilitate blind review. Only the title should be shown at
the first page without the author's information.
Important Dates:
Aug 16, 2008: Submission of papers*
Oct 11, 2008: Notification of acceptance/rejection
Oct 25, 2008: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers
*The submission deadline is strict
