Arquitetura da Informação (em Português)

["Livia Labate" <liv AT livlab.com>]

Abaixo segue o 'call for papers' do IA Summitt 2004 que acontecerá em
Austin, Texas no ano que vem. É uma oportunidade bastante interessante e
acredito ser muito importante que brasileiros apresentem seus trabalhos para
que o mundo começe a conhecer o que temos feito por aqui.

Para quem não conhece o Summitt, acontece todos os anos e reúne grandes
nomes e trabalhos da comunidade de Arquitetura de Informação.

Quem estiver interessado em enviar alguma coisa e precisar de auxílio para a
tradução de material, fale comigo diretamente. É bom lembrar que é
imediatamente após ao Carnaval, então sugiro aos interessados que já
planejem a viagem agora :)

IA SUMMIT '04 -- BREAKING NEW GROUND

************************************************************************

                             IA Summit 2004
                       Hilton Austin, Austin, Texas

CALL FOR PAPERS

> Scope of the Conference

  Some of us in the IA field are solidifying the IA foundation, digging
  deeper, while others are pushing the boundaries working with other
  fields and platforms. In both cases, we are "breaking new ground".

  The ASIS&T IA Summit 2004 is seeking submissions from information
  architecture practitioners and researchers that support this theme.
  If you are developing the IA practice in your organisation by
  documenting methods, applying IA principles to new platforms and
  devices like interactive TV or handheld devices, using techniques
  from related disciplines in your day-to day work or researching the
  latest ways to connect people and content, we want to hear from you.

  We are open to contributions from people with solid and relevant
  ideas, including areas that may be considered ancillary or outside of
  Information Architecture. If selected, we simply ask that you put in
  the time required to create a solid and professional presentation for
  the conference attendees.

  We encourage submissions by students, developers and designers, work
  of a specialised nature, work concerning new features, design elements,
  methods or processes, controversial topics, and work in progress. We
  are especially interested in receiving submissions from speakers in our
  field who have not presented at the Summit in the past, including
  academics, professionals in related fields and information architects
  who have not yet had the opportunity to share their knowledge. We want
  to invigorate our conference with new thoughts. If you have a solid
  idea and proposal, but aren't an expert speaker, we can help. Our
  planning committee has experienced authors and presenters who can give
  a hand in fine-tuning your ideas and presentations.

  How do you know if you have an idea worth pursuing? Imagine that you
  travelled out to Austin to attend the conference and sat in on your
  presentation. Would it hold your attention? Would it give you new
  focus or insight that you could apply to your work? Does it provide
  fresh perspective to what you think? If so, great. Go ahead and send
  along your proposal idea. Don't be shy...

> The Summit seeks proposals for:

  * Case Studies:
    Specific examples showing the use of IA in completed projects

  * Presentations:
    Talks that discuss principles and ideas, or provide insightful
    analogies and mind-opening explorations to open the minds of
    information architects

  * Tutorials:
    Opportunities for information architecture practitioners to discuss
    and develop a topic for a half-day

  * Panels:
    Differing opinions and discussion on the topics of the day lead by
    a moderator

  * Posters:
    Illustrating a concept from research or practice


************************************************************************

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS

  The submission deadline for case studies, presentations, tutorials
  and panels is October 31st 2003. The submission deadline for posters
  is December 5th 2003.
