Computer/Human Interaction Symposium in Boston
November 7, 2011
You might have seen this on Tom Limoncelli’s Blog, but immediately preceding LISA’11, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is holding the 5th annual Symposium on Computer / Human Interaction for Management of Information Technology (CHIMIT).
That’s a very long name for a conference that you maybe haven’t heard of, but if you are at all interested in learning, not only how we do things, but why, and how we can do them better, then this symposium is something you will be interested in.
The ideas that are presented at CHIMIT are typically those which influence the people who influence everyone. We all interact with technology, even if we’re not aware of the extent to which we do. If you make, manage, or deal with technology, please check out their schedule and see what things might be of interest to you. Honestly, looking at it, the poster sessions alone may be worth it:
- IT Storage Capacity Management: Field Research and Software Design Principles
- Looking at Collaborative Problem Solving in IT
- Visual Analytics for System Administrators: A research agenda
Those are things I have a lot of interest in. And they’re just the poster sessions.
I’m not going to repost the entire announcement since you’ve probably read it (and if you haven’t, click the link up there to Tom’s blog, because he’s got it on there), but I did want to let you know about it, and that registration is now open ($175 for non-ACM members, and $75 for students).
The symposium is a single day of technical sessions followed by a day of workshops, and as usual, is timed to match LISA, so that you can come a couple of days early and make your trip even more valuable. Definitely consider it. Everyone that I’ve heard from that has gone speaks very highly of it!
