You are invited to contribute original work to CHIMIT 2008, the 2008 ACM
Symposium on Computer Human Interaction for Management of Information
Technology.

Started in 2007, the ACM CHIMIT Symposium is the leading forum for
discussing topics on IT management with a focus on people, business, and
technology.

At CHIMIT, researchers and practitioners share issues, solutions, and
research drawing upon fields such as human-computer interaction, human
factors, computer systems, and management and service sciences to
address cognitive, social, and technical issues in managing the great
complexity of modern Information Technology (IT) systems.

Original contributions are sought broadly on workplace studies,
processes and practices, organizational knowledge, design, experimental
studies, tools, and automation approaches for IT management.

Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Ethnographic studies of IT work in context
• Requirements for the design of new technologies
• Issues related to new technology adoption
• Standards and guidelines of IT management
• Approaches to supporting communities of practice
• Studies of collaboration and coordination
• Knowledge management and training in IT Design of human-centered
IT systems
• Models of interaction with complex IT systems
• Evaluations of system management interfaces
• Cognitive issues in complex display design
• Studies of decision making for complex problems
• Collaborative system administration workspaces
• Automation/Policy languages
• Human interfaces to automation
• Policy-based interaction and control
• Agent-based automation and control
