Call for Papers
Most existing design practices either do not specifically target the needs of aging people, or only consider their needs from a negative perspective, often as design “problems” that need to be “solved”. However, with the ever-increasing aging world population, it is becoming even more important to better design for older people, taking their wants, needs, desires, and expectations into account as the underlying basis for design.
Amongst other issues that need to be addressed, this also requires modifying current design practices, including commonly used design methodologies, to make them more effective for targeting aging user populations.
Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, designers, and developers interested in the design, development, evaluation, and deployment of digital products, technologies, tool, and services for aging people. The workshop will provide a venue for sharing experiences from different perspectives through presentations, discussions, and a hands-on design activity to provide innovative ideas for future directions in designing for aging people.
This workshop follows on from a successful previous workshop (DEAP 2018), which was held as part of the IFIP International Conference on Entertainment Computing (IFIP-ICEC 2018). We have now broadened the scope of this workshop to include all aspects of designing for aging people.
We invite design researchers and practitioners from related backgrounds to submit their papers reporting their contributions to the topics of the workshop. Topics of interest cover the processes of ideation, design, prototyping, development, evaluation, and deployment of digital products, technologies, tool, and services. We seek submissions related to the following areas, as well as others:
- Critical, speculative, participatory, or any other novel approaches to design.
- Innovative approaches to the design, development, evaluation, and deployment.
- Examples and case studies of deployment and use.
- Acceptability and adoption.
- Community- and user-led innovations.
- Design without agism.
- Design and ethics.
