IDC2010 - Call for Participation
9th - 11th June 2010
Conference Topics
Submissions of workshops, full papers, short papers, and demos, are invited on all topics from the domain of interaction design for children, including, but not limited to:
- Methods, techniques, and guidelines for requirements analysis, design, and evaluation of interactive systems for "children as a diverse group" (young people of different gender and age, with special needs, from different cultures or ethnic groups).
- Emerging or new technologies for children (e.g. innovative educational simulations, interactive games, mobile communications devices, wireless embedded technologies, robots, accessible fabrication devices, "smart" materials, authoring/programming tools, interactive playgrounds, intelligent environments).
- The impact that such technologies can have on children's lives and personalities.
- Ethnographic and case studies of children's use of interactive systems in schools, at home, in hospitals, in public spaces.
- Usability, enjoyability, accessibility, and safety issues, with particular reference to children
- Novel theoretical models of interaction with special relevance to children.
- Design for children's civic involvement, democracy, physical and emotional well-being, and social awareness of environmental, ethical, ethnographic or cultural issues.
- Interactive technology for children from an adult's perspective.
All accepted full papers, short papers, and demos, will be presented at the IDC2010 conference, and will appear in the IDC2010 proceedings. The extended abstracts of accepted workshops will be also included in the conference proceedings.

Next Generation of HCI and Education
11th April 2010
CHI 2010 Workshop on UI Technologies and Educational Pedagogy
Given the exponential growth of interactive whiteboards in classrooms around the world, there has been a need to explore how next generation HCI will impact education in the future. Educators are depending on the interaction communities to deliver technologies that will improve/adapt learning to an ever-changing world.
In addition to novel UI concepts, the HCI community needs to examine how these concepts can be matched to contemporary paradigms in Educational pedagogy. The classroom is a challenging environment for evaluation, thus new techniques need to be established to prove the value of new HCI interactions in the Educational space. This workshop provides a forum to discuss key HCI issues facing next generation education.
The 2nd Workshop on Child, Computer and Interaction
5th November 2009
The Workshop on Child, Computer and Interaction will be held in Cambridge, Boston area, on November 5, 2009. The Workshop is a satellite event of the Tenth International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces, this year jointly with Machine Learning multi-modal interaction (ICMI-MLMI 2009) that will take place in the same venue on November 2-4, 2009. This edition follows the first edition of the Wocci series which was held in Crete in October 2008.
This Workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from universities and industry working in all aspects of multimodal child-machine interaction with particular emphasis on, but not limited to, speech interactive interfaces.
