Important Dates

HCI 2007 is the 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference jointly hosted by the Computing and Psychology Departments at Lancaster University. The conference will bring together researchers, educators, practitioners and students with interests in different aspects of human-computer interaction.

Not as we know it... is not a theme, instead this year's conference is centred around a strap line intended to provoke not confine; a flavour to permeate subtly each submission, but not constrain topics or formats. Looking forward to the future of HCI - what is novel, on the edge or way out,? Looking now - what is mundane but perhaps not mainstream. And looking back - are there fresh revisitations of things that had been mainstream a while ago, forgotten yet still important to us now?

HCI 2007 welcomes original contributions that advance the theory and practice of any area of HCI, including but not limited to the following topics:

• Ubiquitous interactivity
• Disappearing, ambient or palpable computing?
• Design and evaluation methods
• Effecting affective HCI
• Learning and training for HCI
• Interfaces for pervasive systems
• Interaction for the performing arts
• e-Security and e-safety
• Users with unusual requirements
• Mobile media access and sharing
• Interactive public displays
• Fun and games - the next generation
• Human-centred creativity
