Interaction design is becoming more challenging because of advances in technology – pervasive, ubiquitous, multimodal and adaptive – are changing the nature of interaction.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for interaction design practitioners and specialists interested in knowledge from the social sciences to discuss how sociotechnical insights can best be used to inform interactive design and how social methods and theories can fit into changing patterns of development and participatory design.
Both long papers and short papers submissions are invited, addressing key aspects of current research and practical case studies.
This workshop will bring together good examples of research in interaction design that refer to the term ‘sociotechnical’.
The challenge is to achieve some level of ‘translation’ despite differences between disciplines whose main interest is understanding social phenomena and disciplines whose main interest is the design of interactive systems.
It is hoped the workshop will identify opportunities for a sociotechnical knowledge framework in interaction design.
