Australasian User Interface Conference

***********************************************************************
***           Australasian User Interface Conference 2006           ***
***    Hobart, Tasmania - January 2006 - http://auic.tinmith.net    ***
***********************************************************************

Dates: Abstracts due August 5, 2005. Full papers due August 19, 2005.

This is the first call for papers for the 7th Australasian User Interface 
Conference, to be held in Hobart, Tasmania in January 2006. My name is Wayne 
Piekarski and I am the conference chair, and I would like to invite you to 
submit a paper, and attend the conference. I would particularly like to 
welcome overseas guests to come visit Australia and participate in the 
conference. The AUIC conference is part of Australasian Computer Science 
Week, which contains a number of conferences such as ACSC, ACE, ADC, AUIC, 
CATS, and APCCM.

This year we have made a number of exciting changes to the conference, 
including demonstration sessions and discussion panels. Other appealing 
features of the conference include publication of papers in the ACM Digital 
Library, proceedings published in CRPIT with an independent ISBN number, 
fully refereed papers by an international program committee, and a small 
workshop feel which allows in-depth discussion amongst participants.

I look forward to seeing your paper submissions and attendance at the 
conference in 2006!

* Paper Submission Details *

Submissions must include the authors' names, affiliations and addresses, a 
200-word abstract, and 3 to 6 keywords identifying the subject area. Full 
papers exceeding 8 pages and short papers exceeding 4 pages will not be 
reviewed. A paper should not be submitted to more than one of the 
conferences in ACSW. Submitted papers (and camera-ready copy for accepted 
papers) will be required to conform to the formatting guidelines of the 
series Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology.

Please visit the AUIC web site at http://auic.tinmith.net for detailed 
information on how to format and submit a paper.

* About AUIC *

The Australasian User Interface Conference (AUIC) is a technology-focused 
forum for user interface researchers and practitioners from Australia and 
New Zealand, and throughout the world. The conference, which is one of 
several conferences that constitute the Australasian Computer Science Week, 
provides an opportunity for workers in the areas of HCI, CSCW, and pervasive 
computing to meet with colleagues and with others in the broader computer 
science community.

We welcome original papers and short papers describing research or 
innovative practice. AUIC invites participation and submissions from 
researchers and practitioners with an interest in techniques, tools, and 
technology for improving user interfaces over a wide range of areas, 
including the following:

- User interface architectures, tools, techniques, and technology.
- Innovative applications and user interfaces, including VR, multimedia, and 
adaptive interfaces
- Distributed interfaces, including the World Wide Web
- Ambient and highly mobile devices (PDAs, wearable computers)
- CSCW, group work, groupware, and computer-mediated human communication
- HCI education

All papers in the proceedings of ACSW conferences (including AUIC) are 
archived in the ACM Digital Library. As with previous years, registration to 
the Australasian User Interface Conference will enable delegates to attend 
sessions in any conference participating in the Australasian Computer 
Science Week.

I look forward to seeing you at the conference!

regards,
Wayne
