Subject: [Sighci-l] SCCI registration is now open
Message-ID: <5293962D.5030905@gmail.com>

Registration is now open and we invite everyone to join us on February 
24-25 for the

Symposium on Communicating Complex Information (SCCI).
February 24-25, 2014
East Carolina University
Greenville NC

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

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, how to apply that 
understanding in to the work environment, and to clarify our 
understanding of what issues urgently need further research.

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