CFP: People and Computers, HCI 2012 (due March 30, Birmingham, UK)

This year, HCI 2012 will return to the founding theme of the conference: “People and Computers”. This is to encapsulate and highlight the growing diversity of our field of HCI in one event. Technology is now common in all walks of life and HCI practitioners and researchers have more areas of impact than ever before. We want the conference to reflect this growing importance and diversity.

HCI 2012 is the 26th Annual Conference of the Specialist HCI group of the BCS, the BCS Interaction SG. Since its establishment in 1985, the conference has become the leading annual HCI conference in Europe. As well as being a leading venue for dissemination, the conference has a history of nurturing research careers- many of the leading HCI researchers published their early papers here and it is recognised for helping students and new academics as much as being a leading forum for established researchers. We want to carry on this well-established tradition into 2012.

CFP: Design for health and safety - The 7th International Conference on Persuasive Technology

This conference will feature the latest insights into how mobile and internet-based applications such as mobile games and social networking sites can be designed to influence behaviors, thoughts, and feelings.

Paper submission: January 6, 2012

The 7th International Conference on Persuasive Technology - June 6–8, 2012 - Linköping, Sweden.

Persuasive Technology is a stimulating interdisciplinary research field that focuses on how interactive technologies and services can be designed to change people’s attitudes and behaviors. Influenced by areas such as classic rhetoric, social psychology and ubiquitous computing, researchers in this field are typically designing applications for domains such as health, business, safety, and education. The 7th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (Persuasive 2012) will build on the successful prior conferences held at Eindhoven, Stanford, Oulu, Copenhagen, Claremont, and Columbus. The conference will feature the latest insights into how mobile and internet-based applications such as mobile games and social networking sites can be designed to influence behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. The conference is expected to gather researchers, practitioners, and students who are interested in networking, presenting, discussing and reflecting on central themes associated with persuasive computing and design.

Conference themes
The general theme of Persuasive 2012 – Design for health and safety – sets a special focus on current societal challenges. Themes of the conference include, but are not limited to:

• Behavior change systems for healthy living
• Lifestyles management technologies
• Eco/Green persuasive technologies
• Persuasive design for personal safety
• Mass persuasion and safety
• Smart environments and augmented reality for behavior change
• Mobile and ubiquitous persuasion
• Motivational technology
• Design for education and learning
• Robotics and persuasion
• Security and privacy
• Persuasive design and innovation
• Methods, metrics and measurements in persuasive technology
• Social and organizational issues
