Hi folks,
The CFP for SIGDOC's 2012 conference is now live! Please feel free to
share. We would love to see more AOIR folks represented here!
A special interest group in the Association of Computing Machinery, SIGDOC
focuses on all aspects of the design of interactive systems and related
texts, including those used in industry, recreation, education, science,
and social exchanges. Our organization is international and
interdisciplinary, so you'll be presenting to, listening to, and networking
with people from different backgrounds and disciplines. You'll get to see
how people approach similar communication problems in different fields.
SIGDOC publishes conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Every
accepted paper is also a peer-reviewed publication with a global reach. So
it's an awesome opportunity for established scholars and especially for
graduate students.
Submissions are due June 1, so please plan now and encourage your students
and colleagues to do the same. More info and the call for papers is at the
website: http://sigdoc.org/2012. Questions? Feel free to contact us.
Best,
Liza
Treasurer/Secretary of SIGDOC

systems and related texts, including those used in industry, recreation,
education, science, and social exchanges.
Industry and academic researchers are encouraged to submit research papers,
experience reports, and interactive posters. Contributions may include
studies of design processes, research methods, deployment analyses, and
situated use studies related to the design and use of communication
artifacts.
Conference submissions should address topics including, but not limited to:
- Design for Interaction

- User Support Systems and Documentation
- Open Source Design Solutions
- Collaborative Systems
- Design Principles
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI/CHI)
- Computer-Mediated Communication

Submission Guidelines
SIGDOC 2012 submission types include research and technical papers,
experience reports, and posters. Authors should submit full papers as
described below for blind review. During the review period, papers,
experience reports, or poster proposals can be submitted for review through
an online submission platform which will be provided through conference web
site.
- *Research and Technical Papers. * Full papers should not exceed 5,500
words, approximately 10 pages in ACM SIGDOC conference format (available at
the site), including figures and references. The results described must not
be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The full paper must
include the title, an abstract of up to 150 words, and keywords. For first
submissions, do not include author names or affiliations.
- *Experience Reports.* Experience reports present project- or
workplace-focused summaries of important technologies, techniques, 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, an abstract of up to 150 words,
and keywords. For first submissions, do not include author names or
affiliations.
- *Posters.* Poster proposals should not exceed 1,000 words. Accepted
poster submissions will be published as a one-page abstract in the
conference proceedings. The submission should be formatted according to the
