Sociotech ID Workshop 2008 (London, UK)
Monday, December 31st, 2007 by Conference Editor| May 30, 2008 |
Interaction design is becoming more challenging because of advances in technology – pervasive, ubiquitous, multimodal and adaptive – are changing the nature of interaction. The Sociotech ID Workshop 2008 has two main goals: identifying a common framework for sociotechnical research in interaction design and to explore and enable new translations from the social sciences into interaction design.
These goals involve, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Actionable recommendations and guidelines for the conception, design and evaluation of interactive systems
- Improved methods for the gathering and elicitation of sociotechnical requirements for interaction design
- Social interaction design and Web 2.0
- Socially responsible policies for interaction design
- Participatory design as a sociotechnical endeavor
- Sociotechnical dynamics of multidisciplinary teams in the context of novel user-centered development methodologies
- Culture and interaction design
The workshop will begin with a brief introduction of key officers and participants followed by the presentation of papers. Presentations will be divided into three sessions each including a concluding panel discussion. The event will close with a plenary session which will summarize the lessons learned on the possibilities for an interdisciplinary sociotechnical research framework in interaction design.
