Deadline: 20th February 2001

Contributions are invited describing the introduction, application, adaptation or extension of HCI theory, methods, tools and techniques in professional research or development environments, and the structural, organisational, financial and professional implications of this activity. Case studies, pioneering applications in new domains or sectors, cost-benefit analyses, organisational impact, participative design experience, management structures, trade-offs and discount methods and when to use them, the place of the HCI professional in the development group, promotion of the HCI profession, training needs and requirements in a changing market, professional accreditation, and the balancing of research focus with industrial deadlines in collaborative projects, are among the areas which this section is intended to cover. Unsuccessful cases are often just as valuable as those which succeed, and participants are particularly encouraged to share through this forum their experience of mistakes and blind alleys, and the lessons learned from them. Papers may also highlight priority areas for further research, and areas of expertise which educators and trainers need to address to meet the evolving skill requirements of professional system designers and developers. Submissions should not exceed 6 pages, but may include supporting video material (PAL or NTSC VHS).

Submit a Professional Practice and Experience proposal by the deadline date, 20th February 2001
