The fifteenth Australasian User Interface Conference (AUIC2014), to be held from 20 – 23 January 2014 in Auckland, New Zealand, has issued a Call For Papers.
AUIC 2014 is the forum for user interface researchers and practitioners at the Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW 2014), the largest annual gathering of computing educators and researchers in Australasia. AUIC provides an opportunity for people with an interest in HCI, HRI, Visual Interfaces, CSCW, and pervasive computing to meet with colleagues and with others in the broader computer science community.
AUIC welcomes original papers, participation and submissions from researchers and practitioners with an interest in techniques, tools, and technology for improving user interfaces over a wide range of areas, including: HCI education; user interface architectures, tools, techniques, and technologies, and their use in complex system; CSCW, group work, groupware, and computer-mediated human communication; and other areas. For more information, see their website.

According to Associate Professor Rafael Calvo we may be entering an era of “positive computing”, in which technology will be designed specifically to promote wellbeing and human potential. He has been in the news recently discussing how we can use advances in online technology to develop innovative programs and tools that support mental health and promote well-being.
A Call for Participation has been opened for the CSCL 2013 invited pre-conference workshop,
