Design v. Computing: Debating the future of human- computer interaction

Abstract

This debate questions the presumption that the future of human-computer interaction resides in the computing sciences. We propose the following resolution: It is resolved that the CHI community should disassociate fi~om professional computing societies and realign closely with professional design societies. The four panelists will form two teams with Terry Winograd & Jim Faris arguing for the resolution and Paul Dourish & Wendy Kellogg arguing against it. It is our intention to evoke the widest possible range of viewpoints and discussion in the community on this very important topic for the future of human computer interaction.
