Abstract

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together HCI researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds, to explore and define new opportunities in HCI research and practice. We adopt the strategy of motivating our discussion of research and practice goals through a consideration of human needs and social responsibility. The rich diversity of human needs, and the intricate dialogues of socially responsible work, provide dramatic challenges to advance the state of research and practice in our field. The outcome will be new issues and projects of both theoretical and applied value. These issues and challenges will provide opportunities for developments and innovations of primary importance to our field.
