CALL FOR PROPOSALS
"Refining our Craft": the Third Information Architecture Summit
sponsored by ASIS&T
Baltimore Marriott Waterfront
Baltimore, Maryland, USA
March 15-17, 2002
Copy at http://www.asis.org/Conferences/IA2002/asummit02call.html
The Summit seeks proposals for
- Case studies;
- Presentations that demonstrate innovative and effective information architecture
practices; and
- Posters.
- Case studies will demonstrate concrete information architecture solutions to
challenging problems.
Case Studies should address the theme ("Refining our Craft") and provide the
audience with specific output to take away. The ideal case studies will place
special emphasis on explaining and demonstrating the useful methods, tools, and
metrics that were used to address the problem at hand. The guidelines for case
study submissions are:
* Supply a description of no more than 150 words that is suitable for inclusion
in the Summit's promotions (e.g., the Summit web site).
* The description should concisely detail:
o type of site (e.g., entertainment, portal, intranet)
o problem addressed
o solution applied (e.g., method, tool, metrics for evaluation)
* If possible, include the candidate site's URL.
* MARKETING PITCHES FOR AGENCIES OR THEIR CLIENTS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.
- The guidelines for presentations should follow a similar form but describe:
* what core IA issue is addressed
* what the audience will learn/take-away from the presentation
* how the presentation will reflect the theme of 'refining our craft"
- Complete guidelines for posters are located at http://www.asis.org/Conferences/IA2002/posters.html.
The topic for posters is "clear thinking visualized." How do you use diagramming
to understand a problem? To communicate a solution? Now's your chance to trot
out your killer deliverables, or scratchy scribbles that make your IA really
work. We encourage work by students, developers and designers, work of a specialized
nature, work concerning new features, design elements, methods or processes,
controversial topics, and work in progress.
The submission deadline is November 30, 2001 for Case Students and Presentations.
