DUX2005

AIGA, ACM SIGGRAPH and SIGCHI Announces DUX2005 will be held November
3-5, 2005, in San Francisco, California

(San Francisco, CA - March 15, 2005) AIGA, ACM SIGGRAPH and SIGCHI today
announce the 2nd international DUX conference, "Designing for User
Experiences", will take place 3-5 November, in San Francisco, CA at the
beautiful Fort Mason Center.

"We are pleased to announce the 2nd DUX conference as well as the
release of the Call for Participation," said the conference chairs,
Richard Anderson, Brian Blau, and John Zapolski. "We invite design
professionals from all disciplines to contribute studies of specific
cases, best practices, and research, so the community can benefit from
others' successes and insights." More information and the Call for
Participation can be found at the conference website,
http://www.dux2005.org

The DUX2005 program will focus on interaction design and visual
communication. Leading this effort are Program Chairs Clark Dodsworth,
Nancy Frishberg and Rakhi Rajani. Its focus reflects current trends in
innovative user experience designs in areas that include mobile device
interfaces, data visualization, design process, responsive environments,
public art installations and live performance interfaces, consumer
products and services, appliances, and game interaction. This broad
range of topic areas ensures relevant, fresh, and meaningful submissions
from the experience design community.

DUX2005 invites submissions in four categories: Design Case Studies,
Design Practice Studies, Design Research Studies, and (briefer) Design
Sketches. Studies report on implemented designs and the methods and
techniques people have used, specifying what worked, what did not work,
and why. Sketches report on works in progress. Both studies and sketches
will be presented in at the DUX2005 conference in an intimate theater
setting. Individual presentations will complement panel discussions,
group presentations and tutorials.

Information about submissions and the submission kit will be posted on
the web site on April 21, 2005. In late May we will post additional
information about the conference, registration and hotel availability.
