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 We encourage original, unpublished and novel papers in this track.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 interdisciplinary teams, this track emphasizes software engineering perspectives in HCI. That is, we are 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:

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(s) must NOT appear in the body of the submitted paper, and self-references should be in the third person. Only the title should be shown at the first page, without the author's information
