Call for Posters [NEW]

2006 Research Symposium of the
Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction 
American Society for Information Science and Technology 

Human Computer Interaction in Information-Intensive 
Environments

Sunday, November 5, 2006, 8:30am-12:30 pm, 
Hilton Austin, Austin, TX

Perhaps the single development that has most affected 
the way in which the world accesses, examines and uses 
information is the computer and the use of interactive 
technologies. Unlike the interactivity coupled with ATMs, 
online ticket purchasing and accounting systems, the 
interactivity associated with information-intensive 
environments demands complex tools, innovative forms of 
interaction, and novel ways of visualizing and representing 
content. In this context, the study of human computer 
interaction (HCI) is unique due to the focus on interactions 
among people, content and systems. This half-day 
Symposium aims to rejuvenate the use and study of HCI 
within the information science context.

Research posters: 1-2 pages (750-1,000) words

In both categories submissions should describe results 
from completed or ongoing research projects related to the 
scope of the symposium. 

Submissions should be emailed to hci at dal.ca by
