Organizers

Catherine R. Marshall, Collaborative Technologies,
David G. Novick, Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology

This SIG will allow interested CHI 96 attendees to participate in a community discussion of the results of the one-day workshop entitled "CHI Ten Year View: Creating and Sustaining Common Ground." In the workshop, a group of interested CHI professionals will (1) use methods derived from corporate strategic planning to create three scenarios describing alternative possible futures for the field of CHI in the year 2006; and (2) use these scenarios to identify ways the CHI community can create and sustain commong ground that will help it thrive and make important contributions in 2006 and beyond.

At the beginning of the SIG, participants from the workshop will describe the three scenarios developed in the workshop. Then the SIG participants will be invited to ask questions, provide comments, discuss their own views of the future, and suggest ways the workshop results might be put to good use. Finally, we will discuss ways that interested SIG participants might be involved in further work with the CHI Ten Year View scenarios.
