CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
This conference builds on the successes and high standards of the previous IDC conferences (IDC2009 in Como, Italy; IDC2008 in Chicago, USA; IDC2007 in Aalborg, Denmark; IDC2006 in Tampere, Finland; IDC2005 in Boulder, USA; IDC2004 in Maryland, USA; IDC2003 in Preston, UK; and IDC2002 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands).
Interaction is already an inherent part of the contemporary culture of the current generation of children. They do not see interaction as something unusual or special; instead, they have seamlessly incorporated it into their daily lives. As a result, they have “raised the bar” for our community.. We must therefore address their needs and provide solid solutions through proposals that go beyond what children nowadays see as "normal" or "habitual."
IDC2010 will continue IDC's tradition of better understanding the needs of children and youngsters in relationship to technology, exploring how to create interactive products for and with them, and investigating how technology-mediated experiences affect their lives. IDC2010 will present and discuss the most innovative contributions to research, development, and practice in these areas, gathering the leading minds in the field. As in previous years, IDC2010 would like to invite researchers to address a wide spectrum of technology for young people, from computers, to mobile phones, to any form of "intelligent" interactive devices and/or environments, and to consider the requirements of different profiles, in terms of age (from very young children to adolescents) and of psychological, social, or physical needs. In addition, IDC2010 would like to foster an investigation of technological and methodological issues related not only to learning and play, but also to social awareness of young people in relationship to environment, cultural heritage, cultural roots of minorities, local identity vs. wider community identity, etc. Finally, IDC2010 would like to explore interaction design for young people in the family context and from an adult’s perspective, e.g., how to help parents understand and master the complexity of a world in which technology is more and more part of their children's life.

PROGRAM
IDC2010 will include full-day and half-day workshops, an invited keynote, papers sessions, a posters session, a special demo session and a doctoral consortium. Social events will complement the scientific program and will be a chance for participants to meet, discuss and network in the context of a gorgeous informal setting, and build future collaborations.
KEYNOTE
"The Magic of Interactive Experiences for Children: The Walt Disney Imagineering Approach" Dr. Mark Mine, Director of the Creative Technology Group, Walt Disney Imagineering
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions of short papers, and demos are invited on all topics from the domain of interaction design for children, including, but not limited to:
- Methods, techniques, and guidelines for requirements analysis, design, and evaluation of interactive systems for "children as a diverse group" (young people of different gender and age, with special needs, from different cultures or ethnic groups).
- Emerging or new technologies for children (e.g. innovative educational simulations, interactive games, mobile communications devices, embedded technologies, robots, accessible fabrication devices, "smart" materials, authoring/programming tools, interactive playgrounds, intelligent environments).
- The impact that such technologies can have on children's lives.
- Ethnographic and case studies of children's use of interactive systems in schools, at home, in hospitals, in public spaces.
- Usability, enjoyability, accessibility, and safety issues, with particular reference to children.
- Novel theoretical models of interaction with special relevance to children.
- Design for children's civic involvement, democracy, physical and emotional well-being, and social awareness of environmental, ethical, ethnographic or cultural issues.
- Interactive technology for children from an adult's perspective.
All accepted full papers, short papers, and demos will be presented at the IDC2010 conference, and will appear in the IDC2010 Proceedings. The extended abstracts of accepted workshops, and a selection of the best position papers submitted for workshops, will be also included in the conference proceedings.
