TAMODIA'2005 is the fourth in a series of workshops focused on different forms of models, diagrammatic and formal notations, and analytic frameworks used to understand human tasks and activities with computers and technology.

Understanding and modelling user tasks and activities has always been a central part of HCI research and practice. This has involved techniques borrowed from related areas such as software engineering, theoretical computer science and cognitive science, as well as specialised notations and methods developed to address the unique features of human-computer interaction.

Notations used range from textual and graphical forms to more interactive, multimodal and multimedia tools. Submissions are equally welcome from those studying notations and modelling frameworks themselves, or the ways in which these fit within the interaction design process.

As well as addressing areas traditionally associated with task modelling such as office work, safety critical interfaces, or web workflows, we would also like to encourage submissions that explore domains at the edge of these: understanding of physical workplaces, tangible, ubiquitous and pervasive computing, games and entertainment, technologically augmented artistic installations and performance, virtual and augmented reality, and domestic and public environments.

Just on Saturday-Sunday before TAMODIA 2005 there will be HCI tutorials offered to Polish HCI community; many participants of the Polish HCI tutorial will also take part in the whole TAMODIA 2005 programme.

Registration is now open!
