Call for Position Papers (deadline 1st August 2003):

METHODS FOR APPLYING ACTIVITY THEORY TO HCI-DESIGN

Zürich, Switzerland, September 1, 2003
Workshop Web site: http://www.daimi.au.dk/~olavb/athci2003/

One day workshop at INTERACT 2003:
Ninth IFIP TC13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction
http://www.interact2003.org/

Activity Theory (AT) has been a recognised framework for enhancing 
design practices in HCI  and related disciplines for a couple of 
decades. In most cases, AT has been deployed as an  analytical 
framework for conceptualising user and contextual perspectives during 
systems design.  However, the popularity of this framework has not 
yet resulted in many operational methods and techniques that can 
easily and readily be applied in HCI design. The purpose of this 
workshop  is to examine current methods and techniques based on AT so 
as to establish the feasibility of using this framework in HCI for 
practical design purposes.

We invite position papers on the workshop theme, outlining 
experiences and novel ideas for applying AT in HCI design. Position 
papers should be no longer than 2 pages (approximately 1000 words) 
presented in the conference format and emailed in PDF to Daisy Mwanza 
(D.Mwanza@open.ac.uk) by 1st August 2003.

More information about the workshop is available at the workshop website:
