Massey University – College of Creative Arts warmly invites you to the Interactive Entertainment Conference 2010:

IE2010: The 7th Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment

21-23 November 2010, Wellington, New Zealand

http://ieconference.org/ie2010/

The Fish of the Day:

In this current economic climate of uncertainty, we see a convergence of innovative minds, creative solutions and emerging technologies enabling change. IE2010 will cover how PLAY can contribute to both major and minor challenges we are facing in these roaring times. What can we learn from being inventive and playful? And how can interactive entertainment contribute towards facilitating these changes? What do we need as designers, developers, critical thinkers and researchers to consider, bring in, promote when faced with these challenges? What is the role of play in future scenarios?… read more. “Call: IE2010: The 7th Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment”

Create10 :: the conference for innovative interaction design

30th June – 2nd July 2010
Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh UK
http://www.create-conference.org/

The provisional programme is online now, early registration ends 31st May.

The Create conference centres on interaction design, a young discipline with roots in human-computer interaction, ergonomics, product and graphic design, multi-media and art. An interaction designer is a difficult person to pigeon hole and can be found in mobile phone companies, consumer product manufacturers, design consultancies, as a single practitioner, or within academic computing and design departments.

As well as presentations of academic research and student work, the conference will provide real learning opportunities through case studies, discussion and demonstrations. We also present theoretical and research perspectives on the process of design innovation and approaches to creativity in HCI; how human factors can be integrated within a creative design process, methods that encourage creativity in interaction design, and the challenges of working in multi- disciplinary teams.… read more. “Call: Create10, “the conference for innovative interaction design””

Organised by:
Computer Science and Communication Research Unit (CSC), University of Luxembourg Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), University of Luxembourg Centre de Recherche Public Henri Tudor

Introduction

BNAIC is an international scientific conference for research in Artificial Intelligence. The BNAIC conferences series was initiated in 1988 by the Netherlands Association for Artificial Intelligence (later incorporating Belgium and Luxembourg to become the Benelux Association for AI) in order to promote research in AI among Benelux AI researchers, scientists and engineers in related disciplines. This year we are delighted to bring BNAIC for the first time to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. According to the success of previous years, BNAIC 2010 will include invited speakers, research and industry presentations and project demonstrations.… read more. “Call: BNAIC 2010: The 22nd Benelux Conference on Artificial Intelligence”

Workshop on Exploring Collaboration with Shareable Interfaces

**Update: we’re delighted to be able to announce that Pierre Dillenbourg will be the third keynote speaker at this event**

16th and 17th of September 2010

Call for participation: deadline 28th May 2010

This 2-day workshop at the University of Sussex aims to bring together researchers from across disciplines who are analyzing interaction, talk and gesture, involved in the development of collaboration. It will focus on how shareable interfaces can both support and help us understand processes of collaboration associated with typical and atypical development. It follows from the highly successful workshops on shareable interfaces held in 2008 at the University of Sussex (http://www.shareitproject.org/25) and 2007 at the Open University (http://mcs.open.ac.uk/pm5923/si2007/index.html).… read more. “Call: Workshop on Exploring Collaboration with Shareable Interfaces”
