Interactive systems are increasingly embedded in the ways we live and work. 
Technical boundaries are evolving in many directions, from design in the 
small – the products that individuals use – to design in the large – 
socio-technical systems that groups and communities use. Yet even 
experienced organisations are only now beginning to understand the skills, 
resources, and processes needed to produce results that respond to people’s 
needs and desires. Improving our understanding of the processes of 
designing, and assessing the quality of interactive devices and systems 
have become key success factors in business. How can we move in new design 
directions? How can we gain insight into users’ needs? Who must participate 
in the design process? What makes our designs successful?

DIS2002 aims to bring together all dimensions of design in a single 
conference. Together, we will confront the challenge of designing 
interactive systems that successfully meet users’ needs and delight the 
people who use them. As with the previous DIS conferences, the goal of 
DIS2002 is to better understand the practice of designing interactive 
systems and how it can be improved. DIS2002 will extend our collective 
knowledge by sharing experiences of what works and how the highest quality 
results can be achieved.

DIS2002 invites you to submit contributions in a variety of forms: papers, 
design cases, exhibits, tutorials, workshops, master classes, and a 
post-graduate symposium.
We invite contributions from those who practice, those who research, and 
those who benefit from the consequences of interactive system design. You 
may be working in industry, government, a design practice, a consultancy 
bureau, or an academic institution. We recognise the need for contributors 
to reflect on their experience and present their insights in a structured 
and accessible form. The seeks to build on existing knowledge, rather than 
starting from scratch.
