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. This workshop will be held on Saturday and Sunday, April 4-5, as an official part of the ACM 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2009) in Boston. 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, 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, to explore differences between developed and developing world contexts, to develop new partnerships, and to learn from each other's experiences. NSF funding will enable approximately ten international delegates to attend from low-income countries, from which participation would otherwise be impossible; without the active involvement of these participants, the outcomes of the workshop would be far less useful and effective.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. The conference is attended by over 2,000 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. The PI expects that this workshop, building on the outcomes of two previous meetings at CHI 2007 (funded in part by NSF) and CHI 2008 (which led to establishment of a website http://hci4d.org that provides a platform for exchange of information, ideas, and experiences in this domain), will be instrumental in developing additional intellectual momentum around these topic areas. Position papers generated as part of the workshop and summary articles will be published in a special issue of the journal Information Technology and International Development, as well as in ACM Interactions, Interfaces magazine, and Usability News. The PI is also working on a story-based template, which will provide an online repository for reporting findings and observations that can be easily searched and shared.

桌面隐喻对于不使用或不重视桌面的社区意味着什么？ QWERTY键盘在语言中没有“Q”、“W”、“E”、“R”、“T”或“Y”的社区中表现如何？ 在一个技术不是为一个人而持有而是由整个社区共享的环境中，个人计算机的意义是什么？ 计算机应用程序和PC设备传统上是由西方高收入人群设计的。 但今天，互联网和互联网计算机已经成为一个真正的全球现象，触及许多最偏远和边缘化的社区。 该研讨会将于4月4日至5日星期六和星期日举行，作为ACM 2009计算机系统人为因素会议（CHI 2009）的正式部分。 该研讨会将探讨国际发展背景下的交互设计，特别是将解决世界上那些经常被当前系统和应用程序设计师边缘化的地区的交互设计。 PI认为，为了扩大信息和通信技术设计的现有做法的范围，设计应该与边缘化社区一起，为他们设计，并为他们设计，他计划在讲习班讨论中将其置于中心地位。 讲习班将提供一个论坛，以交流经验，探讨发达国家和发展中国家之间的差异，发展新的伙伴关系，并相互学习经验。 国家科学基金会的资助将使来自低收入国家的大约10名国际代表能够出席会议，否则这些国家不可能参加会议;如果没有这些参与者的积极参与，研讨会的成果将远远没有那么有用和有效。由计算机械协会的计算机-人交互特别兴趣小组主办的年度CHI会议（ACM SIGCHI）是一个领先的国际论坛，用于展示和讨论人机交互（HCI）的研究和实践。 来自世界各地的2,000多名专业人士参加了会议。 在会议上提出的研究论文是heavily-refereded和广泛引用，他们构成了一些最受科学尊重的研究出版物在HCI领域。更广泛的影响：HCI文献的审查暴露了广泛的知识差距，存在于计算机交互和计算机技术的发展影响的研究问题之间的低收入国家。 PI期望，本次研讨会，建立在CHI 2007（部分由NSF资助）和CHI 2008（导致建立了一个网站http://hci4d.org，为该领域的信息，想法和经验交流提供了一个平台）的两次会议的成果，将有助于围绕这些主题领域发展更多的智力动力。 作为研讨会的一部分产生的立场文件和摘要文章将发表在《信息技术和国际发展》杂志的特刊上，以及ACM互动，界面杂志和可用性新闻。 PI还在制定一个基于故事的模板，该模板将提供一个在线存储库，用于报告调查结果和观察结果，可以轻松搜索和共享。
