email on to anyone who might be interested.

Call for Papers - CHINZ 2008
----------------------------

The 9th Annual ACM SIGCHI_NZ Conference on Human-Computer Interaction will
provide a forum for researchers and practitioners involved with Human
Computer Interaction in New Zealand or other parts of the world.

The aim of this symposium is to bring together people interested in HCI,
to allow them to exchange views, share experiences, and learn from one
another. We welcome full length research papers in all areas of HCI, as
well as work-in-progress, case-studies, industrial perspectives, student
work and system demonstrations.

In particular, we strongly encourage submissions by academics and
practitioners involved in computer graphic design and research, on the
topics of its applications or implications for human-computer interaction
and user interface design.


Important Dates
---------------

31st March 2008 - All submissions due.
19th May 2008 - Response to authors.
3rd June 2008 - Final submissions due.


Submissions
-----------

Full paper submissions are invited in all areas of Computer-Human
Interaction. We also welcome proposals for posters and system
demonstrations. Submissions should report original work, and will be
reviewed. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference, published
in the conference proceedings, and the ACM Digital Library. Papers should
be no more than 8 pages in length and submitted as PDF files.

Submissions will be made through the EasyChair conference system, and a
submission link will be available by March.


Graduate Students Workshop

The conference will also include a two-day HCI Graduate Students'
Workshop. There is likely to be some limited funding available to assist
selected students in attending this workshop and the conference. Students
interested in attending the workshop are required to submit a one-page
summary of their research by the due date for conference submissions.
