an IFIP workshop @ CHItaly 2011
Alghero, September 13, 2011
==================================

Workshop background and objectives
----------------------------------
The design of services/artifacts/environments for the mediated
communication has traditionally required the integration of cognitive
science, computer science and engineering; with the time more and more
relevance has also been given to sociology, anthropology, industrial
design and, more recently, also to the design for the experience and to
the architecture. This is due to the embodiment of the machine within
spaces that are becoming increasingly sensitive and co-evolutionary,

applications, services and technologies for tourists (Digital Tourism). Where
mobile and desktop applications can rely on eyes down interaction, the tourist
aims to keep their eyes up and focussed on the painting, statue, mountain, ski
run, castle, loch or other sight before them. In this school we focus on
multimodal input and output interfaces, data fusion [...]
