[Carolinas_asist] Symposium on Usability, Information Design, and Information Interaction

[Michael Albers]

The technical communication program at ECU is sponsoring a Symposium  
on  Usability, Information Design, and Information Interaction to 
Communicate Complex Information  at East Carolina University on February 
24-25, 2012.

http://workshop.design4complexity.com/home.htm

The future will see the design of information and communication 
technologies that serve ever more complex purposes and problems. For 
these technologies, creating user centered design is particularly 
challenging when users are engaged in sophisticated knowledge work and 
collaborations and do not want to become power users to conduct this 
work electronically. Goals of this workshop are to clarify what we 
already know about communicating complex information and clarify our 
understanding of what issues urgently need further research.

We hope to reach new insights about
The current major research issues that need to be addressed
Ways to transform research into practical applications
