[DMANET] HIGHLIGHTS 2019: Call for Presentations

HIGHLIGHTS 2019: 7th annual conference on Highlights of LOGIC, GAMES, and
AUTOMATA

17-20 September 2019, Warsaw
http://highlights-conference.org

HIGHLIGHTS 2019 is the seventh conference on Highlights of Logic, Games and
Automata that aims at integrating the community working in these fields.
Papers from these areas are dispersed across many conferences, which makes
them difficult to follow. A visit to the Highlights conference should offer
a wide picture of the latest research in the field and a chance to meet
everybody in the community, not just those who happen to publish in one
particular proceedings volume.

The conference is short (from 18 September to the mid-day on 20 September)
and it is preceded by the Highlights Tutorial Day (17 September). The
participation costs are modest and Warsaw is easy to reach.

The Contributed Presentations will be around ten minutes long. All speakers
will be also invited to contribute to a Poster Session, which will open new
ways of interaction at the conference for the whole Highlights community.

We encourage you to attend and present your best work, be it already
published or not, at the Highlights conference.

SCOPE:
Representative areas include, but are not restricted to:
+ logic and finite model theory
+ automata theory
+ games for logic and verification

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES:
The main part of your submission is an abstract, which should serve as a
proposal for a presentation. Hence, submissions should have a single
author—the speaker. We expect you to present your favourite result of the
year, so there should be at most one submission per speaker. The Abstract
may include a list of co-authors.

There are no formal proceedings and we encourage submission of work
presented elsewhere. You may submit a pre-print of a paper that your
presentation is based on, but you are not required to do that.

=============================================================================================================================

OzCHI is the annual non-profit conference for the Computer-Human
Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Human
Factors and Ergonomic Society of Australia and Australia's leading forum
for the latest in HCI research and practice. OzCHI
attracts a broad international community of researchers, industry
practitioners, academics and students. Participants come
from a range of backgrounds, including interface designers, user experience
(UX) practitioners, information architects,
software engineers, human factors experts, information systems analysts and
social scientists.

After 18 years, OzCHI finally come back to Western Australia. Time has
passed and things have changed a lot since OzCHI 2001.
More HCI and UX works have been done in Western Australia as well as its
neighbouring countries. Having the privilege to
convene the 2nd OzCHI conference in Western Australia, one of our
objectives is to be inclusive towards attendees across
overall Asia-Pacific.

The conference theme is Experience Design in Asia Pacific, which highlights
the challenges we all face in the endeavour
to tame the environment without destroying it to ensure our continuing
existence. Our vision is to make OzCHI 2019 as
an inclusive event for academic, industry, research, start-ups, maker
communities to learn and exchange knowledge in the
recent and emerging HCI and UX areas - practical, technical, empirical and
theoretical aspects regardless their level of
maturity in the fields.

We invite contributions on all topics related to Human-Computer
Interaction, Interaction Design, Architecture,
Engineering, Planning, Social Science, Creative Industries, and other
related disciplines.
