==============================CALL FOR PAPERS================================
1st International Workshop on Values in Design - Building Bridges
between RE, HCI & Ethics
held in conjunction with INTERACT 2011, 13th IFIP TC13 Conference on
Human-Computer Interaction.


6th of September, Lisbon, Portugal

ORGANIZERS

Jeroen van den Hoven - Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands
Helen Nissenbaum - New York University, NYC, USA


AIMS AND SCOPE
==============
In working with stakeholder requirements or user needs in design,
various design methods in requirements engineering and human computer
interaction, in specific user-centred and value sensitive design,  are
finding ways to deal with “soft issues”, “social issues”, “people
issues” or values. At the same time, applied ethics has begun to pay
attention to design. We believe that many of the approaches could
complement each other in useful ways. The aim of this workshop is to
bring together people from different disciplines to share knowledge
and insights about how to account for values in technology design, and
to work towards integrating approaches.

The main theme is the interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge,
experiences and new ideas on values in technology design. The
following list reflects (but is not limited to these) possible topics:
- Designing for specific values (e.g. privacy, sustainability, trust,
responsibility,...)
- Experiences from value-oriented projects
- Value Sensitive Design (VSD)
- Value considerations in industry projects or product development
- Understanding and relating different notions of values
- Integrating value-oriented methods with software engineering/ design methods
- Accounting for values in experience oriented designs, e.g. “fun” as a value
- Values used in evaluations of User Experience (UX)
- Dealing with soft issues, social issues, and people issues in
requirements engineering
- Value-based requirements engineering
- Value elicitation & value tensions: dealing with a variety of
stakeholder values
- Value elicitation: methods from different research fields
- (Digital) Tools for value elicitation
- Personal Informatics and values
- Capturing and reusing value knowledge (scenarios, design patterns, etc.)
- Values in Persuasive Technology and/or Ambient Intelligence
- Values in specific domains (health care, military, crisis management)
- Values in Intelligent Systems (e.g. for decision support or
automated systems)

FORMAT
=======
This is a one-day workshop divided into two parts. In the first half
we will have four consecutive panel sessions: the values turn in
design - “soft issues” in RE and UCD; the design turn in applied
ethics; values across disciplines; and values in industry. Panels will
be led by representatives in the respective field. Each panel will be
initiated by short presentations by authors of accepted papers
followed by a discussion with all workshop participants. In the second
part, we will create groups of 4-5 participants with different
backgrounds (RE, HCI and Ethics).  Each group will be given a design
case to work on using tools and methods proposed by the participants.
The aim will be to create an overview of people issues, values, soft
issues and (long term) social aspects emerging from each design case.
In a debriefing session we will share experiences (regarding the cases
and tools used) from the group work with all participants.
Participants who wish to present their work as posters or demos will
be given the opportunity to do so during the breaks.


PAPER SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION
=============================
We invite technologists, designers, and ethicists working on topics
related to values in technology design to submit original papers of
the following kinds:

- research papers describing recent results, user studies, study
methods or ongoing work
- statements of interests or position papers describing novel ideas or
perspectives
- papers describing novel systems, design cases or case studies from
industry or academia

All papers should represent original and previously unpublished work
currently not under review in any conference or journal. Papers will
be peer-reviewed and will be selected by relevance and likelihood of
stimulating and contributing to a discussion related to the workshop
theme. All submissions must follow the Springer Lecture Notes template
for Microsoft Word (.doc files only). The maximum paper length is 8
pages, but shorter position papers are also welcome. Submit your paper
electronically in PDF format to:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vind11.

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be
presented at the workshop. In agreement with the authors papers can be
presented as short presentations during panel sessions, or as posters
or demos whichever suits the content of the paper most.

Papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. A selection of
accepted papers will be considered for publication in the Ethics and
Information Technology Journal.
