The convergence between telecommunications, information technology, and more conventional electronic products such as radio/TV presents a major opportunity for the development of international products.
The IWIPS workshop series aims to promote awareness of the problems facing international industry, and their implications for research and development. In addition to the presentation of papers and case studies, as well as the availability of tutorials, the workshop provides a venue for meetings, discussion of results and cooperation at an international level. The Workshop is organized to maximize the exchange of information and ideas among a delegation from across the globe. Participants will leave with more knowledge and skills in the area of product and software internationalisation, and a network of colleagues who are focused on the issues that globalisation creates for the design and production of products and systems.
The conference theme is "where east meets west".
We encourage those of you who may be able to share your "leading edge" experiences with technology as it pertains to global commerce and security. What are the practices and focus for launching this new technology?
We invite submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Frameworks and methodologies for international product development
- Information presentation and social interaction
- User interface internationalisation
- Web internationalisation
- Theory, methods, and assessment techniques for product and system evaluation(news and discussion of applicability)
- Process models and methods of development
- Case studies: Experience of developing and applying internationalisation in industry
- Skills and support tools for globalisation development
- Policies, strategies and trends in globalisation and design
- Intercultural issues in design
- Experience-report about intercultural design issues and problems
Papers should describe the problem addressed and the nature of the contribution. (e.g., theory, method, exemplars, tools, experience).
