The Displays and Warnings Track is accepting submissions for the IEA 2009 Congress in Beijing, China. We are calling for proposals for symposia, panels, workshops, field demonstrations and papers that address current or emerging issues in display design, interface design, visualization, warnings, and alarm systems.

The content of these offerings could include case studies, reports of laboratory research, and descriptions of field methods, conceptual models, evaluations, and implementation approaches. Demonstrations or examples of displays that have had impact on safety, decision making, situation awareness, and productivity would also be very welcome. In particular, this Track is looking for contributions that show how ergonomic methods can be used to develop designs that improve worker, consumer, and public safety, and how design approaches can bridge the gap between ergonomic methods and effective designs of displays and warnings.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Catherine Burns at c4burns@uwaterloo.ca
