Date

IASTED-HCI 2007 will take place from March 14 - 16, 2007.

Location

Tucked into the Chamonix Valley at the intersection of the French, Italian, and Swiss borders, Chamonix, France, has been a popular vacation spot since the first luxury hotel was built in 1816. Whether you spend a day skiing the famous Valle Blanche trail, touring the valley in a hot air balloon, or enjoying one of Chamonix's many historical museums, you are guaranteed a truly memorable experience.

Human-Computer Interaction 2007

Every day computers communicate, work, and engage with us; they are an inseparable part of modern life. Advances in human-computer interaction require cooperation between many disciplines, including artificial intelligence, information technology, aesthetics, and psychology. Each improvement in the design of an interface, the usability of a system, or the intuitiveness of an entity, has the potential to dramatically affect our lives.

Human-Computer Interaction (IASTED-HCI 2007) will be an international forum for researchers and practitioners from the multi-disciplinary fields of human-computer interaction. The conference aims to promote new ideas, research, and results in this area, to strengthen the relationships between connected fields of study, and to improve the cooperation between academia and industry.

Conference Chair

Dr. Daniel Cunliffe is the lead for the Computing and Minority Languages Group at the University of Glamorgan in Wales, UK. He is also co-author of the book Multimedia Computing (Learning Matters, 2003). Dr. Cunliffe's research interests include minority culture and minority language communities online, and Web sites for bilingual users.
