Accessibility, inclusivity and dissolving boundaries are core to the Open 24/7 theme for the design of human interaction with and through digital technologies. The integration of digital technologies into our everyday life allows for a seamless transitioning between open and closed, work and leisure, public and private. Open implies participation and collaboration across traditional borders between individuals, organisations and disciplines. OZCHI 2009 provides a forum to discuss all aspects of openness, open borders, open participation, open source and open architecture. Theme-related submissions may address these topics: .. Open always-on real-time ubiquitous and pervasive designs .. Open design and universality versus situatedness, contextualisation and personalisation .. Open source for design – design for open source .. Open mind – new ideas, concepts and approaches from outside HCI .. Beyond open – never closed: design for escapism CONFERENCE TOPICS Submissions in all areas of HCI are encouraged. In addition, we particularly invite authors to address any of the following topics: Augmented Reality | Context and Location Awareness | Education and HCI | Health Care and HCI | Innovative Design Methodologies | Smart Service Delivery | Sustainability | Universal Usability and Accessibility | Urban Informatics | Tangible User Interfaces | Visualisation Techniques | Working across Cultures SUBMISSIONS All submissions must be written in English. Both long and short papers will undergo a double blind review process by an international panel and evaluated on the basis of their significance, originality, and clarity of writing. Accepted long papers and short papers will be available in the published proceedings. At least one author of any accepted submission must register and attend the conference and present the paper for publication in the proceedings. All submissions must use the two column OZCHI proceedings template: http://www.ozchi.org/mediawiki/ozchipaper_template2009.doc and be submitted to the conference submission site: http://precisionconference.com/~ozchi Jesper Kjeldskov, Aalborg University, Denmark & Jeni Paay, CSIRO Technical Program Chairs program@ozchi.org SHORT PAPERS Short length papers, up to 4 pages, should present ideas that could benefit from discussion with members of the HCI community. These papers may include work-in-progress, experiences of reflective practitioners, and first drafts of novel concepts and approaches.
