■"Exertion Interfaces",Florence, Italyと“Evaluating User Experiences in Games”ワークショップ、というCHIらしいCFPを2件まとめて紹介します。ゲーム評価はやはりイタリアは“熱いトピック”なのでしょうか、興味深いです。
Call for papers: “Exertion Interfaces” workshop at CHI 2008, Florence, Italy
Exertion Interfaces are interfaces that deliberately require intense physical effort. They can be expected to be physically exhausting when used for an extended period of time, and are therefore working in the opposite direction of most conventional interfaces that aim for ease of use and efficient operation. However, recent research has shown that physical, exhausting interfaces can be beneficial for fighting personal weight problems, encouraging social interaction between participants and allowing for new gaming experiences.
This one-day CHI'08 workshop builds on the successful CHI’07 workshop, which was the first forum to share information among researchers interested in the area of Exertion Interfaces. Similar to last year, we will influence and be influenced by emerging trends in this fast-paced area, but this year, the focus will be on a multidisciplinary approach to Exertion Interfaces through learning from related domains such as sport, medical science, gaming, coaching, social science, and education. This will allow us to broaden and deepen the areas of inquiry identified last year: theory, evaluation, tactics, training, skills, body expression, audiences, teams and new dimensions we identify through our Wiki until then.
One desired long-term outcome of the workshop is a co-edited book illuminating the domain from a diverse set of perspectives as well as the organization of a symposium for next year, providing a dedicated forum for researchers of Exertion Interfaces.
How to participate:
Send a position paper of 3 pages max. to workshopCHI@exertioninterfaces.com describing your research interest and your relevant work in this area. It must be prepared in the Conference Extended Abstracts Format. Selection criteria will include participants' backgrounds and interests and quality of the work described in the position papers.
Note: At least one author of accepted papers needs to register for the workshop and for one day of the conference itself.
Important Dates:
3 Oct 2007, 5:00 PM (1700) PDT: Position papers due
28 Nov 2007: Notification of acceptance.

Call for Papers: “Evaluating User Experiences in Games” workshop at CHI 2008
The workshop “Evaluating User Experiences in Games” invites position papers on evaluation methods for user experience in games. Submissions are invited addressing one or more of the following questions:
What kind of evaluation concepts and methods are used in the industry, and what are their limitations?
Do today’s game evaluation concepts and methods address industry needs?
What factors of game experience are measured and have to be measured ?
How can we evaluate new forms and developments of interaction techniques in gaming – for example emotion or eye-movement as input for games, ambient displays or virtual environments as output?
Is there a common framework of methods that are appropriate to evaluate the user experience in games?
How to participate:
Submissions are expected in the form of 4 page position papers (ACM format), describing the area of research, specific work (empirical or theoretical) on the workshop topic and the innovative character of the research at hand. The position paper can be either a case study, experience report, experiment, methodological concept or a theoretical framework. Position papers will be peer-reviewed. At least one author of accepted papers needs to register for the workshop during CHI 2008 (for details on the registration see www.chi2008.org ).

Call For Video Submissions
======================================
Human Robot Interaction Caught On Film
======================================
The Human Robot Interaction 2008 conference will host a video session, in
which movies of interesting, important, illustrative, or humorous HRI
research moments will be shown. We invite videos related to all aspects of
human-robot interaction. Robots and humans do not always behave as expected
and the results can be entertaining and even enlightening - therefore
instances of failures will also be considered. We invite all researchers in
the HRI area to share their best videos that may have been taken
accidentally or intentionally.
A panel of your peers will review video submissions, but will not follow a
strict peer review procedure. Besides the importance of the lessons learned
and the novelty of the situation, the entertainment value will be judged.
The video session has the character of a design competition.
Each video must be accompanied by a 200-word abstract that describes the
video. The video itself must be self-explanatory for the HRI-2008 conference
audience. The use of voice-over, subtitles or introduction slides is
recommended to prepare the audience for the video.
The selected videos will be published in the conference proceedings (CD-ROM)
and in the ACM digital library. The authors of the selected videos should
plan to attend the conference and will be given a moment to explain the
video.
Submission
==========
The video material should be of the highest available quality. The video
should preferably not be scaled down or compressed. The preferred video
format (codec) is standard DV in either the PAL or the NTSC standard. The
video container may be AVI or Quicktime. The maximum length is 3 minutes.
The length of the credits at the end is limited to three seconds.
Upload the videos to the FTP server at ftp://home.bartneck.de
. The login is
"hri2008" and the password "Videosaregreat1". Upload them to the directory
"incoming". The filename should correspond to the name of the author, such

■「ヒューマンコンピュータインタラクションからメディア体験：方法論的暗示」と訳すか「方法論的実装」と訳すか。
WORKSHOP: From HCI to Media Experience: Methodological Implications
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
WORKSHOP: From HCI to Media Experience: Methodological Implications
DATE: Tuesday, 4th September 2007
WORKSHOP WEB SITE: http://hcid.informatics.indiana.edu/experience/
CONFERENCE: HCI 2007 Lancaster, UK
CONFERENCE WEB SITE: http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/hci2007/
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
The landscape of interactive technology design and evaluation is expanding.
In the past, usability and task efficiency were the main focus for research in human computer interaction; evaluation methods worked from single user data over constrained tasks. This kind of work remains central to our discipline.
However, these methods were never intended to inform or underpin the design
and evaluation of media-rich, social technologies. They are not aimed at
designing for quintessentially elusive concepts like ³experience² and
³engagement². Especially when that experience is not individual, but social,
where data and performance are spread across many people, platforms and
devices, and many settings, and where the lab test cannot shed light on ways
that experience unfolds over time.
In this workshop we invite discussion of approaches and methods aimed at the
design and measurement of interactive, social media experience. The workshop
will center on approaches methods that are used in the design of short-term
engagement and experience, but also those that are aimed at consideration of
engagement and experience over longer durations - from watching a 3-minute,
socially tagged video online, to massively multiplayer games like World of
Warcraft that take months to unfold, to plug-ins for social networking sites
like Facebook, to social simulations like Second Life, to social and
community media-archiving projects. What do these emerging experiences tell
us about the methods we currently use, and the methods we need to develop?
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
For this workshop, we invite contributions from a diverse range of
disciplines, including HCI, design, cultural studies, cognitive science,
psychology, film and media studies, game studies, and anthropology, among
others, to explore how interactions with technology become experiences, and
in particular, social and/or intimate experiences.
Participants are to explore questions such as the following:
* What is an experience?
* What are the ways in which qualitative and quantitative measures can weave
together?
* How can we operationalize critical categories into nuanced yet verifiable
scientific methods?
* How do we make sense of data that are gathered into meaningful reflections
of people's experience?
* What skills are needed for "experience design"?
The workshop will be a full-day event and will be open to a maximum of 15
participants. Please note that registration to the HCI2007 conference is
required, at least for the day of the workshop. For details about conference
registration, please visit http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/hci2007
<http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/hci2007
>
WORKSHOP FORMAT
This is a full-day workshop. The morning session will consist of short
presentations and discussion of participants' position papers where
participants will be asked to raise questions that are central to their
current work in designing and evaluating experiences. Participants will be
encouraged to bring examples of their work, or of others¹ work that has
either eluded analysis from traditional methods, or has inspired the
development of new methods of design and analysis that more effectively
reflect people¹s experiences. We encourage participants to think broadly,
from games to fairground rides to immersive learning contexts to
psychotherapeutic environments any experiences that can inform approaches
that lead to deeper understanding of online and embodied media experience.
In the afternoon session, participants will break into small groups
depending on their main interest and discuss topics. At the end of the
workshop, the small groups will report back, which will form the basis for a
plenary discussion.

CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS
Advances in cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging technologies provide us with the increasing ability to interface directly with activity in the brain. Researchers have begun to use these technologies to build brain-computer interfaces, in which patients with severe motor disabilities can communicate and control devices with thought alone. Although removing the need for motor movements in computer interfaces is challenging and rewarding, we believe that the full potential of brain sensing technologies as an input mechanism lies in the extremely rich information it could provide about the state of the user. Having access to this state information is valuable to human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers and opens up at least three distinct areas of research: controlling computers with thought alone, evaluating systems and interfaces, and building adaptive user interfaces. Although this is not the focus of this workshop, we will consider accepting a small number of position papers proposing methods of using techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to send information directly to the brain.
Specifically, this workshop aims to identify and discuss:
* brain-computer interface applications for users with permanent and situational physical disabilities, as well as for able-bodied users. This includes application in domains such as traditional communication and productivity tasks, as well as games and entertainment computing;
* sensing technologies and data processing techniques that apply well to the suite of applications in which HCI researchers are interested;
* techniques for integrating brain activity, whether induced by thought or by performing a task, in the palette of input modalities for (multimodal) human-computer interaction;
* interesting problems that need more work, especially in areas that are unique to HCI applications
We encourage participation from a wide range of disciplines including Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Human-Computer Interaction, Affective Computing, and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning. The workshop will be limited to 18 participants. Please submit a 2-4-page position paper outlining your interest in this topic to anijholt@cs.utwente.nl . Position papers must be received by 3 October, 2007. Participants will be notified of selection by 28 November 2007. The workshop date is 5 April 2008. CHI workshops are only open to people who have had their position paper accepted by the workshop organizers, and who have registered for the workshop and at least one day of the conference itself.
