Guest editors are Michele Chang from > Intel and Irina Shklovski from Carnegie Mellon University. > > In recent years, forces of technology, culture, and society have converged > to reshape urban life. The urban experience has quickly emerged as a major > focus for research on issues of mobility, location-based services, and > pervasive computing. A city's complexities, embodied in its social, > historical, and technological infrastructures, make it a viable alternative > to the controlled environment of the lab. > > This special issue will be devoted to bringing members of the human-computer > interaction community together with researchers and practitioners from the > fields of urban planning, architecture, and design to examine public > interfaces and their effects on the urban environment. Public interfaces are > systems that foster public dialog, facilitate the exchange of information > and services, or encourage interaction between public entities and city > inhabitants. Computer encourages submissions reporting systematic empirical > studies or critical analyses of interdisciplinary research as well as > descriptions of technology development. > > Topics of particular interest include computing as a shared resource, > surveillance and personal boundaries in public spaces, access as a means of > control and discrimination, and supporting individuals in the production of > knowledge. > > The deadline for submitting papers is 15 February 2006. > > Author guidelines and submission instructions are available at > www.computer.org/portal/pages/computer/mc/author.html > > Send inquiries to the guest editors at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or irinas@ > cs.cmu.edu > > >
