CALL FOR PAPERS

ACM International Conference on Design of Communication

Design for Sustainable Communication


THE EVENT

The 28th ACM International Conference on Design of Communication (ACM
SIGDOC'10) will be held in São Carlos-São Paulo, Brazil on September
27-29, 2010. Participants are encouraged to submit research papers,
workshop proposals, and experience reports concerning processes,
methods, and technologies for communicating and designing
communication artefacts such as printed documents, online text, and
hypermedia applications.


GOALS

SIGDOC focuses on the design of communication as it is taught,
practiced, researched, and conceptualized in various fields, including
technical communication, software engineering, information
architecture, and usability, etc, emphasizing the potentials,
practices, and problems of multiple kinds of communication
technologies, such as Web applications, user interfaces, and online
and print documentation. The main goal is to reach information design
professionals, educators, researchers, software engineers, Web
designers, system developers, usability specialists, computer
scientists, user interface designers, and information technology
specialists. At SIGDOC'10 we are focusing on the sustainability of
all the aspects related to the Design of Communication.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

ACM SIGDOC'10, with its emphasis on sustainable communication and
information, and its strong links to library and information science,
design studies, and cognitive and computer science will be soliciting
research papers, workshop proposals, experience reports, and posters
emphasizing the following (but not exclusively) thematic challenges:
 * Inter/Intra/Multidisciplinary approaches for design of communication
 * Design of communications: participatory, user-centered and organic design
 * Processes for developing design of communication in ubiquitous computing
 * Agile processes for design of communication
 * Accessibility in design of communication
 * Impact of communication on: personalization, contextualization and
adaptative systems
 * Design of communication in Social Networks and for Social Networks
 * Cultural and Social issues in Digital Age
 * User Assistance & Documentation
 * Documentation Use & Reuse
 * Design Rationale and Interactivity in the Design of Communication
 * Sustainable Help Systems
 * Design of Communication for Learning
 * Challenges on Green Technology: ecological, political and economical.


SUBMISSIONS
Researchers and Professionals from design of communication and
information areas are strongly encouraged to submit proposals to
SIGDOC'10, that this year is emphasizing sustainable communication and
information, according to the following types:

   * Research Papers — Research Paper Proposals should not exceed 500
words. Full and final research papers should not exceed 5,000 words,
approximately 8 pages in ACM SIGDOC conference format, including
figures and references. The results described must not be under
consideration for publication elsewhere.

   * Workshops — Workshop Proposals should not exceed 500 words. Full
and final workshop proposals should not exceed 1,000 words. The
proposal should describe the workshop’s theme, leader(s), structure,
expected length, and participant selection criteria.

   * Experience Reports — Experience Report Proposals should not
exceed 500 words. Full and final experience reports present project‐
or workplace‐focused summaries of important process or product
processes and should not exceed 3,500 words. The experience report is
a standalone, six‐page extended abstract that describes a design
experience and its lessons for other designers of communication. The
experience report must include the title, names and affiliations of
the authors, an abstract of up to 150 words, and keywords.

   * Posters — Posters Proposals should not exceed 1,000 words.
Posters provide an opportunity to present late‐breaking results and
new ideas in an informal, visual and interactive format. Accepted
poster submissions will receive a one page description in the
conference proceedings. The submission should be formatted according
to the ACM guidelines for paper submissions, but the length must be
only one page.

ACM fornat is mandatory for submissions.

Acceptance for publication is contingent on registration for the
conference. (In the case of multiple authors, at least one must
register.) If you cannot attend the conference, a publication fee
equivalent to the event registration will be charged.

To submit your proposal, the JEMS system will be avaliable soon.
