Submissions Deadline:  February 1st, 2006
Publications Issue:  May+June 2006 Issue

Interactions is published bi-monthly by the Association for Computer
Machinery (ACM) for designers of interactive products.	It is a
magazine that balances articles written for professionals and
researchers alike providing broad coverage of topics relevant to the
HCI community.

The May+June 2006 issue of Interactions is dedicated to the user
experience around security in information systems.  Designing systems
that are both secure and usable offers unique challenges to interaction
designers.  System complexity, user acceptance and compliance, and
decisions about protection versus convenience all factor into the
design process and resulting effectiveness of security systems in the
hands of users.

Interactions invites authors to submit case studies and articles
related to the security user experience.  Papers should be written in a
reader-friendly magazine style and tone as opposed to a conference
proceedings or journal style (no abstracts, appendicies, etc).

Relevant contributions will address issues related, but not limited to,
the following:

Interaction design of systems with usable security and user trust as
primary goals
Innovative methods for conducting user experience evaluations on user
trust or security systems
Novel user interfaces or interaction methods for security systems
Basic principles of psychology of user-security interaction
Best practices and interaction guidelines in the design of secure and
trustworthy systems
Field research related to user-security interaction in the wild
Social and/or philosophical issues related to security, trust, and the
user experience

Interactions invites papers in the following two formats:

1. Case Studies 7-9 pages.  Case Studies are reports on experiences
gained and lessones learned designing, using, or studying security
components/systems or techniques.  They take a comprehensive view of a
problem from requirements analysis through design, implementation, and
use.

2. Articles 1-3 pages.	Articles are much shorter and broader case
studies and may present research findings, points of view, social or
philosophical inquiries, novel interface designs, or other information
relevant to the HCI community regarding security and the user
experience.

Papers that appear in Interactions are archived in the ACM Digital
Library and available online.  The Special Issue on Security will
appear in the May+June 2006 issue of Interactions and the deadline for
submissions is February 1st, 2006.
