The goals of this workshop are to begin the development of an HCI research agenda statement, and to create plans for soliciting input from the greater HCI community, maintaining the agenda, and disseminating the agenda to research and funding organizations. Our primary objective is to build on previous efforts in order to develop a research agenda proposal that can be considered for endorsement by ACM SIGCHI.

Prospective participants are asked to review materials and references available on the workshop's web site, and submit a position paper identifying both breadth and depth issues for an HCI research agenda.

Please list:

• the areas you consider most critical and why
• the top five issues in your area of expertise

Issues may include process issues, such as how to connect HCI theory and practice. Participants will be selected based on the position papers, the need for participation across the diverse range of subfields that compose the HCI community, and the need for wide geographical representation.

Prior to the workshop, the organizers will assemble a working list of HCI areas and issues, which participants will be expected to review in advance of the workshop.
