DICCDI 2011 - MT4J-INFORMATIK 2011 : Development and Usage of Novel Input Technologies

There is a massive trend to replace traditional input devices such as mouse and keyboard with different kinds of new input devices. For example smartphones and tablets and even some larger systems like interactive tables or interactive walls are controlled via touch or multi-touch screens. Furthermoer, several innovative approaches been introduced in the area of gaming (i.e. Microsoft Kinect and Nintendo Wii) and are currently transferred to other application areas.

The development and usage of advanced input technologies raises many interesting and interdisciplinary questions. The goal of this workshop is to discuss these questions in an open forum that equally attracts scientists, practitioners.

We encourage software engineers, computer scientists, information systems researchers, as well as industry experts to submit their research and attend the workshop. Contributions that deal with software engineering, methods or frameworks for advanced input devices are welcome as well as contributions that examine the usage of such technologies in enterprises or the impact on productivity and motivation of employees. Also contributions that deal with the usage of advanced input technologies in the consumer segment are a very interesting topic for the workshop.

Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
* Development of multi-touch software and other multi-point systems
* Case studies: business application
* Best practices: development, technology and implementation in enterprises
* Quantitative and qualitative studies on the acceptance of new input technologies
* Integration into the communications infrastructure
* Business Value analysis of technologies
* Privacy and privacy protection
* Collaborative systems and advanced input technologies
