http://albersm.rhetoricalengagement.net/workshop/home.htm

The future will see the design of information and communication
technologies that serve ever more complex purposes and problems. For
these technologies, creating user centered design is particularly
challenging when users are engaged in sophisticated knowledge work and
collaborations and do not want to become power users to conduct this
work electronically. Goals of this workshop are to clarify what we
already know about communicating complex information and clarify our
understanding of what issues urgently need further research. [...]
