Call for demos: “Disruptive Interaction”
Session chair: Massimo Banzi (Arduino.cc)

Swiss Design Network Conference 2012
Friday 9 November 2012, Lugano, Switzerland

Disruptive Interaction
This year’s Swiss Design Network Conference 2012 focuses on the dialectical relationship between design and disruptive ideas, practices and innovations.
Interaction and interactivity in the sense of interaction design or in a broader sense as social interaction between actors currently appear as promising concepts for the discourse of disruption and radical change in economy, culture, politics etc.
What do designers do to fundamentally change accepted rules (or to completely remove them) or to radically change the context and the environment in which theses rules operate? How do designers re-think and hack the taken-for-granted? How do they create and communicate new perspectives on the use of existing artifacts? How do they invent new ways of participation and how do they visualize the obvious and the unforeseen? How do they disrupt their own ideologies? How do designers react to and interact with disruptive changes and innovations?

Call for demos
The demo track allows researchers and practitioners to demonstrate the performance of new systems, artifacts or concepts in a dedicated session, and possibly during reception hours, in a more informal setting. Demo submissions must be based on a concept or prototype that pursue one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference. Demos from the traditional research community are of course encouraged, but proposals from other activity areas are also welcome.
Each demo submission must conform to the provided standard project description (see below). Demos will be peer-reviewed by members of the Demos Program Committee, who will judge the originality, significance, quality, and clarity of each submission.

Typologies of projects
Concepts and prototypes, be they software, hardware or performative experiences, are welcome. The demo can take typically the form of a physical device or system, a web/mobile application, a combination of the above, or a convincing presentation of a concept. The committee is interested in projects that feature: interactive behaviours, open licenses, design, and hardware, whose impact can be disruptive to the status quo of design and design research.

Submissions and review process
Applicants are requested to deliver:

a standard project description (see example here), structured into: authors, title, licenses, abstract (interface and interaction modality, description of technology, user experience), research and development context, optional references (up to 3’500 chrs); technical requirements: specify your hardware or setting requests (hardware availability is limited); one to five images (screenshots, diagrams, pictures etc.) of the project (TIFF files, 300 dpi, base: 15 cm); an optional video (link to the video on the web).

Important dates
Mon 15 October. Submission deadline for demos
Wed 17 October. Notification of acceptance
Fri 19 October. Confirmation from accepted demos
Thu 8 November. Setting up of the demos
Fri 9 November. Conference opens

Demos session committee
Demos session chairs: Massimo Banzi (Arduino.cc)
Demos programme committee: Serena Cangiano (SUPSI), Davide Fornari (SUPSI)

Guidelines
Accepted demos authors must confirm their participation no later than Friday 26 October. Travel and accomodation costs are not covered.
At least one author of each accepted demo paper must register for and attend the conference, and demonstrate the system during the demo session.
Each accepted demo paper will be included in the conference on-line proceedings. Demo authors are not required to transfer copyright, but to state the licenses issues in the standard project description.

CALL FOR PAPERS

DRS // CUMULUS Oslo 2013

The 2nd International Conference for Design Education Researchers

14-17 May 2013, Oslo, Norway

web address: http://www.hioa.no/DRScumulus

Organised by: Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Technology, Art Design -DRS (Design Research Society) -CUMULUS (the International Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media).

This international conference is a springboard for sharing ideas and concepts about contemporary design education research. Contributors are invited to submit research that deals with different facets of contemporary approaches to design education research. All papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed. This conference is open to research in any aspect and discipline of design education.

Conference theme:

DESIGN LEARNING FOR TOMORROW – DESIGN EDUCATION FROM KINDERGARTEN TO PhD

Designed artefacts and solutions influence our lives and values, both from a personal and societal perspective. Designers, decision makers, investors and consumers hold different positions in the design process, but they all make choices that will influence our future visual and material culture. To promote sustainability and meet global challenges for the future, professional designers are dependent on critical consumers and a design literate general public.  For this purpose design education is important for all. We propose that design education in general education represents both a foundation for professional design education and a vital requirement for developing the general public competence for informed decision making.

We invite submissions along the following themes:

:: Philosophy of design education

:: Design curriculum

:: Design knowledge

:: Design education for non-designers

:: Research informed designed education

:: Design education informing research

:: Multidisciplinary design education

:: Challenges in design education methods

:: Assessment

:: eLearning

:: Internationalisation of design education

The comittee is also seeking expression of interest to conduct workshops and symposia.

Early career researchers, PhD candidates and Master students with work in progress are especially welcome.

e-mail address: DRScumulus(at)hioa.no
