CHI 2006 Workshop Proposal 

Designing for Collective Remembering 

Call for papers 
We invite position papers for the CHI 2006 Workshop "Designing for Collective Remembering". While much research has focused on
capturing and sharing personal memories, less work addresses collective memories and their remembrance.  When memories relate to
significant events impacting on an entire group or community and are shared amongst that group, they become collective. Such
memories are usually rich, emotionally charged, better recalled by groups and enhance the group's sense of identity. In fact, the
mere fact of sharing individual memories can alter the initial emotional print that an individual holds before his/her memories
become collective.

This one day workshop will offer an interdisciplinary forum of discussion for both practitioners interested in designing
technology for collective remembering and academics researching in fields such as design, HCI, computer science, sociology,
anthropology and information science. The workshop will facilitate discussions aimed at the development of a set of guidelines for
designing systems for collective remembering: collecting, storing and sharing memories. This includes designing for the experience
of sharing one's own memories, and for the experience of enjoying others' memories. 

The workshop accepts original contributions relating (but not limited) to: 
*       designing technology for triggering, capturing, storing and sharing collective memories 
*       designing for engagement and enrichment of emotional aspects associated with accessing and sharing memories 
*       design guidelines for memory gathering, storing and sharing technologies 
*       human factors in the memory gathering and sharing processes 
*       methods and instruments for the usability of memory technology 
*       multi-modal interaction for memory technology 
*       multimedia for memory technology 
*       pervasive and mobile technology as memory technology 
*       universal usability for memory technology 
*       social aspects related to memory technologies: sharing, sense of community, group identity 
*       psychological aspects related to memory technology: privacy, ownership, anonymity 
*       learning from collective memories, e.g. children access to collective memories and to the lessons associated with them

Submissions should be sent by December 18 to Corina Sas at c.sas AT lancaster.ac.uk, and should include: 

	*       A cover letter containing a brief biography, reasons of interest in the workshop topic and a 250-300 word
description of relevant research and.

*       A four page position paper describing case studies of fully developed or prototype systems for collective remembering.
Theoretical approaches to design challenges for collective memories are also welcomed. 

Participants will be selected on the basis of the originality of their position paper, and contribution to the workshop goals. The
workshop will be organised in brief individual presentations, problem-based group learning activities, group presentation and
full-group discussion of results. For additional information please visit the website:
