Architecure and Interaction book

 I thought I would thank everyone again for attending and give you news about the interaction and architecture book.

The organizing committee for the workshop has had a meeting with our publishers Springer and discussed a number of details.  Springer looks very keen to publish the book  as part of for their Human Computer Interaction or possibly cultural computing series. This is more than  lecture notes, but the workshop position papers were limited to 4 pages so that’s essentially a good thing. We are looking for a submission in October to be ready for launch at the next CHI (CHI2015). The timing is uncertain, but *IF* that appears unrealistic, then there are other conferences to work for (DIS for example).

We still have to submit a full proposal to Springer which we will do post CHI2014 and after we have had a chance to review the workshop papers from this and the previous workshop.

We will be looking at papers and approaching workshop participants to submit something. To help you might want to start thinking about how many tables and figures you need as this is something the publishers need to know. 

The book will be available in hardback and digital ( e-book )form. Subscribing institutions buy printed student (soft back, black and white ) versions for £25 I believe.

While the springer layout is fixed  but there will be an online space with the book for animations and so on.

That’s all for now I will try to keep you in the loop as developments happen.

Workshop over

Well that's it the workshop is over. While it is the relief to get it completed there is still lots more work to do. 

We are having a meeting with the boxes of Springer. There is the Poster of course for Tuesday. Finally I seem to have a huge number of invites and potential collaborations, which is fantastic and what the workshop was all about. 

I quite like this image from one of the

Models people improvised. This was and attempt to communicate a vision of a redesigned union station display interface. 

Well done all!

Union station

Our team visited the station as example of deep information overload

Every surface is cluttered with information even the floor 

It's being refurbished but the coloums make it a isovist nightmare

Pre-workshop drinks

Wine Bar



  Many people have expressed a willingness to have a drink to get to know each other the night before the workshop. Naturally, some people will only just be arriving so there is no pressure to attend. We have organised a table at a wine bar from 7 o’clock onwards. This is only for drinks, but if you want to eat food is available. You can come and stay for as long or as little as you like. Our previous experience with workshops, shows that this is quite a good way to get to know people before the intensity of the workshop itself. 

7:00 -9:00 possibly later depending on jet lag.

I understand the neighbourhood is pretty friendly.  It’s a 16min walk from the convention centre along Front Street.

Ask for the Dalton party and I’ve told them we won’t know each other. My photo is on my home page
