This section has been cancelled for CHI 2002
Call For Participation
The Extended Interactionary is a major advancement of the Interactionary format originated at CHI 2000. It provides several interdisciplinary teams of usability engineers and designers the opportunity to work on an interaction design problem in a competitive and fun format.
Submissions from teams interested in participating should include information about the participants, their experience in interaction design, as well as the techniques and approaches used in working with design problems. Preference will be given to teams that have worked together on design projects, can articulate their design method, and convince reviewers of a fun and open-minded attitude towards design education and practice.

Format
Teams will work on a given design problem during the conference. The problem will concern elements of the conference itself. Each team will propose a solution to the problem.
During both pre-conference and conference events, teams will conduct design and evaluation sessions according to their chosen method. Arrangements will be made to allow conference attendees to observe as many of these activities as possible. Conference attendees also will be asked to volunteer to act as subjects, as required by each team. Conference activities will culminate in a panel session where each team will present their design. Expert panelists will judge each of the designs and present their verdict. The audience will also be asked to vote on the designs.
Teams will be expected to participate in post-conference activities to create a permanent record of the event.

Review Criteria
Our goal as reviewers is to find teams that are not only qualified in experience and knowledge, but who also possess an additional mixture
of an open attitude and presentation skill. Submissions to this event will be reviewed by practitioners according to the following criteria:
- Experience with interaction design problems
- Collective experience of working as a team
- Potential for excelling in this unique format
- Open attitude to participating in unique formats and comfort with the risks of public performance

Due to the highly creative nature of this session, submission requirements are less formal than for other elements of the conference. We will require information about your proposed method and your proposed team, including the experience of each team member and the team as a unit. You should indicate how your method could be adapted to the format of
the Interactionary. You are encouraged to
use your creativity to devise ways to convince reviewers that your team will excel in this unique format.
