What does the desktop metaphor mean for communities that do not use or value desks? How does the QWERTY keyboard perform in communities whose language has no "Q", "W", "E", "R", "T", nor "Y"? What is the point of a personal computer in a context where technologies are not held for a person but are shared by a whole community? Computer applications and PC appliances have traditionally been designed by and for Western high-income populations. But today the Internet and internet-enabled computers have become a truly global phenomenon reaching out to many of the most remote and marginalized communities. The User Centered Design and International Development workshop that the PI is organizing will be held on Saturday, April 28, in cooperation with the ACM 2007 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 07) in San Jose. This is an official workshop of the CHI 07 conference. The workshop will explore interaction design in the context of international development, and in particular will address interaction design for parts of the world that are often marginalized by current systems and applications designers. The PI believes that to extend the boundaries of existing practice in designing information and communication technologies, their design should be with, for, and of the marginalized communities he plans to set centre stage in the workshop discussions. The workshop will provide a forum to exchange experiences, explore differences between developed and developing world contexts, develop new partnerships, and learn from each other's experiences. NSF funding will enable approximately ten international participants to attend from low-income countries, from which participation would otherwise be impossible.The annual CHI conference, sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (ACM SIGCHI), is a leading international forum for the presentation and discussion of human-computer interaction (HCI) research and practice. It is attended by approximately 2,400 HCI professionals from around the world. Research papers presented at the conference are heavily-refereed and widely cited; they constitute some of the most scientifically respected research publications in the field of HCI.Broader Impacts: A review of the HCI literature exposes the broad intellectual gap that exists between problems of computer interaction and studies of the development impact of computer technologies in low-income countries. By assembling together many of the world leaders in these two disciplines for the first time, the PI expects that this workshop will be instrumental in creating an epistemic community and developing intellectual momentum around these topic areas (the PI reports that he has already have been overwhelmed with over 60 submissions from around the world). Outcomes from the workshop will be reported in the journal Information Technology and International Development; additionally, the PI expects to publish a workshop summary in a leading HCI journal such as Interactions, and possibly also to hold a follow-on workshop at the CHI 08 conference.

桌面隐喻对于不使用或重视书桌的社区意味着什么？ QWERTY键盘如何在没有“ Q”，“ W”，“ E”，“ R”，“ T”，NOR“ Y”的社区中执行？ 在不持有人而不是由整个社区共享的技术的情况下，个人计算机的意义是什么？ 传统上，计算机应用和PC设备是由西方高收入人群设计的。 但是今天，以互联网和互联网为支持的计算机已成为一种真正的全球现象，它与许多最遥远，最边缘化的社区联系起来。 PI正在组织的以用户为中心的设计和国际开发研讨会将于4月28日（星期六）与San Jose的ACM 2007人为因素（CHI 07）合作。 这是Chi 07会议的官方讲习班。 该研讨会将在国际发展的背景下探索互动设计，特别是将针对世界各地的互动设计，这些设计通常被当前的系统和应用设计师边缘化。 PI认为，为了扩展现有实践在设计信息和通信技术方面的界限，其设计应与他计划在研讨会讨论中设定中心舞台的边缘化社区有关。 该研讨会将提供一个论坛，以交换经验，探索发展和发展中的世界环境之间的差异，建立新的伙伴关系并从彼此的经验中学习。 NSF资金将使大约十名国际参与者能够从低收入国家参加，否则参与将是不可能的。由计算机机械协会在计算机 - 人类互动方面的特殊兴趣小组（ACM Sigchi）赞助的年度CHI会议是对人类互动（HCI）研究（HCI）研究（HCI）研究和讨论（HCI）研究和实践的领先国际论坛。 来自世界各地的大约2400名HCI专业人员参加了它。 会议上介绍的研究论文被严重解释，并广泛引用。它们构成了HCI领域中一些最科学尊敬的研究出版物。BRODER的影响：HCI文献的回顾揭示了计算机交互问题与计算机技术在低收入国家的发展影响之间存在的广泛智力差距。 PI首次将这两个学科的许多世界领导人汇总在一起，预计该研讨会将有助于建立认知社区并围绕这些主题领域发展知识分子的动力（PI报道说，他已经对全球60多个提交的作品感到不知所措）。 研讨会的成果将在《杂志信息技术和国际发展》中报告；此外，PI希望在诸如互动之类的领先的HCI期刊上发布研讨会摘要，并可能在Chi 08会议上举行后续研讨会。
