CALL FOR PAPERS

DIS 2014 WORKSHOP: ENVIRONMENTS FOR CREATIVE INTERACTION DESIGN PROCESSES

DIS 2014 workshop, Vancouver: June 21, 2014

Website: http://pit.au.dk/DIS-Env


Description: The theme of the workshop is to examine the nature of creative
processes as part of designing interactive systems. In particular, the
workshop will focus on the how we can organize design sessions to improve
creative processes, for instance by setting up environments or spaces that
support creative activities. In order to provide insights for how such
environments can be set up, the workshop will explore a number of themes
related to creative design processes, including, but not limited to:
Individual and social activities, Creativity constraints, Transformation of
design ideas, Generative design materials, and Creativity methods.

To participate: In order to address various perspectives on and approaches
to creativity in interaction design processes, and to promote
cross-pollination of ideas across these varying perspectives in the
workshop, we invite contributions in the following categories:

*1) Design methods and techniques*

Specific methods or techniques, preferably well-tested in practice, that
are intended to facilitate creativity and innovation in design processes.
These may address ways of involving users throughout all or stretches of a
design process, or they may focus on specific events such as workshops,
mock-up sessions etc. Contribu-tions may also present methods or techniques
that facilitate turning creative and innovative user input into viable
design solutions.

*2) Theoretical perspectives*

We also invite contributions that address ways of understanding, analysing
and discussing creativity and innovation in the design process. These may
address the nature of creativity, theories on collaborative innovation,
transformation of ideas into design solutions, artefact-mediated innovation
etc.

*3) Case studies*

We further invite participants to contribute with case studies including
micro-analytic studies of design sessions that present examples of
processes leading to successful innovative design solutions. The case
studies should focus on the process by which the innovative solutions came
forth rather than on the resulting products or prototypes. Through the
selection of participants for the workshop we will strive to cover a broad
range of domains from urban settings, the workplace, the home, as well as
digital art.

We are also soliciting proposals for hand-on activities in which a specific
method for collaborative design innovation is carried out by workshop
participant.

The format for position paper is 2-4 pages in the ACM Extended Abstract
format: http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/format


*Submissions* must be mailed to: DIS.Environment at cavi.au.dk

*Deadline: *March 21, 2014.
