Sept 2009 Proceedings of the 3rd Irish Conference on Human Computer Interaction I-HCI 2009

Along with my colleague (and former classmate) Dr. Gavin Doherty we are the conference chairs for the 3rd Irish Conference on Human Computer Interaction (I-HCI 2009) held in Trinity College Dublin on the 17th and 18th of September 2009. The program chair for I-HCI 2009 is Dr. Saturnino Luz
 from Trinity College Dublin.

Registration for the conference is now open. The conference proceedings, all 142 pages, contains the papers presented at (I-HCI 2009). As the Irish HCI community is evolving there isn’t a specific theme for I-HCI 2009 but instead we aim to draw together the research community through this conference. 
I-HCI 2009 presents new research on human computer interaction. We sought short and long technical papers and student papers describing original, previously unpublished research results including:

– Collaborative System UIs
– Computer-Mediated Communication and Online Communities
– Design Methods
– End-User Programming and Adaptation
– Ethnography and design-oriented fieldwork
– Evaluation Methods
– Human-Centered software engineering
– Hypermedia and Web Design and Usability
– Intelligent User Interfaces and User Modeling
– Location-aware Interaction
– Ubiquitous and Context-Aware Computing
– Speech and Natural Language
– Information Visualisation

Special topics of interest include
– Human Factors in Health Care Informatics
– Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing in the wild
– Evaluation Methods suitable for study in home, workplace and mobile settings.

The program includes an IxDA Industry Session, a tutorial on Inclusive Design for Older and Disabled Users offered by Prof. Helen Petrie and colleagues from the Univ. of York, a workshop on experience, usability, and functionality: exploring the components of interaction, organised by HFRG, UCC and UL along with a keynote presentation by Professor Barry Smyth from the University College Dublin.
