Call for Position Papers

Malaysia is already in its full gear in fulfilling its ICT agenda by providing digital services and solutions in various niche areas, agriculture, medical, education, economic, etc. With the advent of recent technologies, heading towards the IR 4.0, the needs to posit human or people in the central of the agenda, has never been more important. Providing today’s technology, is not sufficient with just the production of high-tech, remarkable systems, but also those which solutions the people can engage with, feel entrusted to, and gain added-values towards their emotions, feelings and experience in general.

The goal of this one-day symposium (Friday, 15th February 2019), will be to map out the HCI work (past and current) by gathering local HCI academicians and practitioners in Malaysia. In the context of our country that is diverse and has rich cultural life (hence: fusion), our aim is to learn from one another’s ongoing research on HCI of various domains, and explore the possibilities of collaborative work. Ultimately, the outcome of the symposium is to set path on how HCI can contribute and make an impact in the landscape of Malaysia’s ICT and digital transformation.
