Objective

The Scandinavian tradition has made a great impact on the development ofco-operative and user centred design, based on the traditions of a closeco-operation between developers and users. Scandinavia has also made asignificant contribution in driving the design of mobile devices throughNokia and Ericsson. Scandinavian design is a well-known style in the designof furniture and interiors. Despite the existence of several excellentconferences within the area of HCI we see the need for a discussion forumwith a Nordic perspective. Therefore we invite researchers andpractitioners from all the Nordic countries as well as the rest of theworld to submit and participate in the making of a more usable future.

We encourage submissions within a wide range of HCI topics,
especially focusing upon
Co-operative design
User-centred design
Scandinavian system development philosophy
Current research on HCI in the Nordic countries
Usability and Accessibility
Information technology in everyday life
Social and psychosocial effects of IT use
