Publishing in digital heritage and related areas

3D and game editors, game, Journal, virtual heritage, , , ,

Due to my current role I have to help grade journals, so as a bit of a test, I had a look at the h index and SJR value of journals roughly in my area (areas?) of research.I used SJR and Google Scholar metrics. They calculate h value differently (the latter has an h5 for 5 years rating) but it was interesting to compare. Individual conferences can score highly but are hard to compare to journals as they appear to be often rated individually rather than as a series. SIGGRAPH is one of the exceptions (Google, SCIMAGOJR) but compare to CHI (google, SCIMAGOJR?)

SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) indicator: It expresses the average number of weighted citations received in the selected year by the documents published in the selected journal in the three previous years, –i.e. weighted citations received in year X to documents published in the journal in years X-1, X-2 and X-3. See detailed description of SJR .

H Index: The h index expresses the journal’s number of articles (h) that have received at least h citations. It quantifies both journal scientific productivity and scientific impact and it is also applicable to scientists, countries, etc. (see H-index wikipedia definition).

CFP:ozchi 2012

Conference, , , ,

OzCHI is Australia’s leading forum for work in all areas of Computer-Human Interaction. It attracts an international community of practitioners, researchers, academics and students from a wide range of disciplines including user experience designers, information architects, software engineers, human factors experts, information systems analysts, social scientists and managers. The conference also welcomes perspectives from design, architecture, engineering, planning, social science and creative industries among other disciplines. OzCHI 2012 is being held In cooperation with the ACM and accepted long and short papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library.

The conference will be held in the Advanced Technologies Centre at the Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn campus. Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th November are devoted to workshops, tutorials and a doctoral consortium. Wednesday 28th November to Friday 30th November will contain the main body of the conference The conference theme, Innovation, Immersion, Integration, Inclusion and Interaction. The theme reflects both the global nature of HCI and the diversity of cultures within which people incorporate interactive use of computers in their daily lives. It also reflects how HCI practitioners and researchers conduct their research and build their applications. *Submissions All submissions must use the two column OzCHI proceedings template: OZCHI proceedings template. OzCHI 2012 will use the EasyChair conference paper management system.

Detailed instructions will be found on the conference website www.ozchi.org Friday 15th June, 2012

vacancy for HCI researcher at HIT Lab NZ

design, , , ,

The HIT Lab NZ (www.hitlabnz.org) at the University of Canterbury has a continuing full time lecture/senior lecture position available. We are looking for an outstanding HCI researcher who is interested in leading research in novel computer interfaces/interaction design and working closely with graduate students.

The deadline is tight – March 8th, but it’s a great role and probably the only position of its type that we will have available for the next few years. It’s ideal for someone who would like to do great research in an academic environment without having too much teaching overhead.

If you know anyone who might be interested please get them to have a look at:

cfp: CHINZ- Interaction on the Move

Conference, , ,

CHINZ 2010:
http://chinz2010.massey.ac.nz/

The 11th Annual Conference Of The New Zealand Acm Special Interest Group On Computer‐Human Interaction
I N T E R A C T I O N   O N   T H E   M O V E
Massey University, Auckland, 8th ‐ 9th July, 2010

The CHINZ conference provides a general forum for all those involved with Computer‐ Human Interaction to address design‐centred human use of technology. We welcome full length and short research papers in all areas of this diverse field and we especially encourage graduate students to present at the conference. There will be poster sessions and hands‐on demonstrations during the conference, and we encourage industry practitioners to present.
Much of the commercial success of mobile devices lies in their ambitiously multidisciplinary applications. As the technologies that can support mobile interaction continue to evolve, this field will become increasingly more challenging, and both academic researchers and practitioners could greatly benefit from each other. This conference is intended to discuss the latest mobile interactions that reach
beyond conventional desktop‐based interaction, hence the central theme of Interaction on the Move.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Interaction design; mobile interaction design
• User‐centred design; mobile application case studies
• Applying design principles in HCI or mobile HCI
• Social implications of technology in mobile applications design
• Mobile technologies; games; robotics; health
• Cognitive psychology and its implications on mobile technologies
• Usability; mobile usability
• Guidelines and heuristics
• Implications of technology for cognition
• Education aspects

Important dates:
• 30th March, 2010 ‐ All submission due
• 27th April, 2010 ‐ All reviews due
• 5th June, 2010 ‐ Final submission due

Submissions:
Accepted papers will be presented at the conference, published in the conference proceedings, and the ACM Digital Library.
• Long papers ‐ no more than 8 pages in length
• Short papers ‐ no more than 4 pages in length
• Posters and demos ‐ no more than 2 pages in length
All submissions must adhere to the ACM SIG Proceedings format and be submitted as PDF files.
