DIS 2019 - Designing Interactive Systems Conference 2019

DIS 2019 invites submissions that address the following questions: Are our current models of user experience adequate in addressing diversity? What kinds of methods and processes are needed for designing for diversity? How can applications and technologies be designed to address diversity and even add to it in this era of giant global corporations? What are the ethical limits designers have to face when designing for diversity?
These questions are meant as inspiration and they are by no means a condition for a paper being accepted to the conference. When submitting, you must select one or two of the following subcommittees:
Design theory, methods, and critical perspectives:
Do our design methods, processes and critical perspectives support diversity? How could they be improved and what are the limits? – When submitting to this subcommittee, your paper may focus on methods, tools, and techniques for engaging people; researching, designing, and co-designing interactive systems; participatory design, design artifacts, research through design; documenting and reflecting on design processes etc.
Experience:
Are our current models of user experience adequate in addressing diversity – or it is better to go universal? - This subcommittee focuses on places, temporality, people, communities, events, phenomena, aesthetics, user experience, usability, engagement, empowerment, wellbeing, designing things that matter, diversity, participation, materiality, making, etc.
Application Domains:
How to design applications that take into account diversity – or should we design universal applications? - This subcommittee seeks submissions that focus on health, ICT4D, children-computer interaction, sustainability, games/entertainment computing, digital arts, etc.
Technological Innovation:
When designing systems, tools, and artifacts, should we design for particular situations and communities or go global? – This subcommittee is interested in sensors and actuators, mobile devices, multi touch and touchless interaction, social media, personal, community-based, and public displays, etc.
