Call For Papers - CFP

Create 2009 is a 2-day conference about creating innovative interactions, whether digital

consumer products, interactive services or interaction paradigms. This is the third year of

hosting the 'Create' conference.

This year, we are particularly interested in submissions from practitioners and academics

willing to share frank and open accounts of research and design practice beginning to be

shaped or influenced by the global economy and climate considerations. However, we

also welcome submissions related to the more traditional themes of this conference. How

do we work together as designers and HCI specialists to come up with people-centred

design, and how do we work with others to make our designs a reality?

We are looking for three different types of submission all of which will be peer reviewed

Short and extended papers

We invite case studies of innovative design from the commercial, public, government and

research sectors. Cases can come from any paradigm - the web, mobile and hand held,

or consumer electronics. Please outline the problems, capabilities, or new functions that

were being addressed, and describe the solutions you or your team created to resolve it.

We are particularly interested in receiving papers discussing issues related to recent

global events. We also welcome theoretical and research perspectives on the process of

design innovation and approaches to creativity in HCI; how human factors can be

integrated within a creative design process, methods that encourage creativity in

interaction design, and the challenges of working in multi-disciplinary teams.

Initial submissions should be no more than 3000 characters (approx. 500 words).

Accepted papers can be either short papers 2 pages long, or be extended to long papers

of up to 8 pages.

Video papers

We welcome submissions which follow the themes for paper or showcase submissions but

would benefit from a more visual presentation style. For example, this could be videos

illustrating or describing large scale installations that would not be technically or

physically possible to exhibit during the conference. We also welcome videos

demonstrating novel interactive artefacts that may be in the early stages of development,

project descriptions or creative visions of future interactive technologies.

Videos should be no longer than 7 minutes in length (including titles and credits) and

should not require any supporting material to be understood. It is very important that you

have the rights to use all the material that is contained in your submission. Successful

submissions will be required to submit a short 2 page paper which should also be possible

to understand without having seen the video.

Exhibits

Installations or exhibits should be of a relatively small to medium scale and may include

documentation in the form of videos and posters to accompany them. We are particularly

interested in exhibiting: interactive products, interactive service design solutions, small-

scale interactive artworks, networked objects, screen based interactive media and

interactive installation pieces.
