>Call for Papers
>Workshop on new sociotechnical insights in interaction design 
>(Sociotech-ID’07)
>(September 10-11, 2007) in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
><http://iit.tvu.ac.uk/sociotech-id07>http://iit.tvu.ac.uk/sociotech-id07
>held in conjunction with the 11th IFIP TC 13 International Conference on
>Human-Computer Interaction Interact’2007
>http://www.interact2007.org/
>
>Aims and goals of the workshop
>Diverse areas of the social sciences explore and conceptualize the 
>relation between people, society and technology under the rubric of 
>‘sociotechnical’, which can bring interesting insights into interaction 
>design. While organizational studies of technology adoption have a well 
>defined conceptual framework known as sociotechnical systems theory with 
>established principles, the situation is not the same for interac-tion 
>design research. The latter includes examples that give diverse uses to 
>the term ‘sociotechnical’ when involving social methods and theories. 
>While perspectives like ethnography, ethnomethodology and activity theory 
>have had a clear impact in the design of interactive systems, the 
>potential contribution of other social science per-spectives has not 
>become so clear and uniform despite the increased development of the 
>pervasive and social proxy – mediating and mediated -- characters of 
>interactive systems.
>
>This workshop will bring together good examples of research in interaction 
>design that refer to the term ‘sociotechnical’. The challenge is to 
>achieve some level of ‘translation’ despite differences between 
>disciplines whose main interest is under-standing social phenomena and 
>disciplines whose main interest is the design of in-teractive systems. It 
>is hoped the workshop will identify opportunities for a socio-technical 
>knowledge framework in interaction design.
>
>Submissions are welcome in, but are not limited to, the following topics: 
>actionable recommendations and guidelines for the conception, design and 
>evaluation of interactive systems as ‘social proxies’; improved methods 
>for the gathering and elicitation of sociotechnical requirements; 
>identifying socially responsible policies for interaction design; 
>understanding participatory design as a sociotechnical endeavor involving 
>multidisciplinary teams in the context of novel development methodologies 
>such as Agile.
>
>
>Submission
>The following types of submission are solicited: long paper submissions of 
>up to 5,000 words, describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing 
>work; short paper submissions of up to 2,000 words, describing work in 
>progress.  All papers must be written and presented in English and will be 
>peer reviewed by at least 2 reviewers.
>
>Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality 
>of the work and to their ability to generate discussions between the 
>participants of the workshop. The format of submitted papers must follow 
>the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) format 
>(http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-72376-0), 
>including no page numbers. Submitted papers must be in PDF or Word for 
>Windows format. Papers should be submitted to
