Contributions of all disciplines dealing with aspects of human-computer-interaction are welcome. The focus should be on practical applications and theoretical models, on new concepts and established applications, on ergonomics and design.

Topics are e.g.:

Changes in work environment

• New services in health care, in logistics, transportation and traffic as well as management and administration
• Support of development of new technologies in design and construction, investigation and documentation
• Worldwide (co-)operating with CSCW and by localisation and individualisation, support of networks of innovation

Changes in learning and education

• Support of lifelong learning, new forms of learning and teaching including edutainment and infotainment
• Teaching and studying human-computer interaction, interface design and software ergonomics

Changes in computer usage

• Mobile applications, ubiquitous computing and ad-hoc-networks
• Virtual environments and augmented reality
• Intelligent devices and environments, handhelds, wearables and pervasive computing

Submission of contributions

The conference language is German. Contributions can be submitted in German or English. All contributions must be submitted via the web based conference system.

Submissions

Contributions - Regular contributions can be reports about scientific projects or reports on practice projects; they will be reviewed according to their origin and focus. Contributions should not exceed six to ten pages, including pictures and references and should be formatted according to the LNI author guidelines. All contributions have to be made anonymous, they will be reviewed anonymously.

Design Presentations - Outstanding examples of designing interactive systems or digital media will be presented in reserved conference tracks, including short talks with demonstrations, and in an exhibition area during interactive poster sessions. Presentations have to be introduced and explained on not more than five pages, according to LNI author guidelines. Design presentations have to be made anonymous, they will be reviewed anonymously.

System Demonstrations - Demonstrations will be presented in reserved conference tracks, including short talks with demonstrations, and in an exhibition area during interactive poster sessions. System demonstrations should focus on solutions or tools, being introduced and explained on not more than five pages, according to LNI author guidelines. Access to software should be possible via internet. All contributions have to be made anonymous, they will be reviewed anonymously.

Posters - This type of contribution describes in a compact form results of research projects or practice projects. They will be presented in interactive poster sessions. The poster type is designed for reports on innovative, off-beat, and "early stage" approaches, implementations and applications. Each poster has to be accompanied by short paper according to LNI author guidelines, maximum three pages. All posters have to be made anonymous, they will be reviewed anonymously.

Workshops - Their tracks are half day or full day, in parallel to the regular contribution tracks. Workshops offer an open forum for short presentations, discussions or collaborative work. Proposals for workshops should not exceed two or three pages, explaining contents and aims of the workshop, naming organisers and target groups. Contributions to the workshop and their results will be published in additional proceedings. Details and guidelines have to be handled over to the participants and contributors by the organisers of the workshop.

Tutorials - Tutorials are reserved for experts giving detailed presentations on various topics, half day or full day. Proposals should include title, a short description, an introduction of presenter and some information about the intended target groups.
