CONFERENCES: Call for Papers: HFES Aging Technical Group

CALL FOR PAPERS

Aging Technical Group

Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 53rd Annual Meeting

October 19-23, 2009 - San Antonio, TX, USA http://www.psychology.gatech.edu/atg/

-------------------------------------------------------

The submission upload site is now open for the fall 2009 HFES conference.

The conference will be held in San Antonio, TX from October 19-23. We're encouraging submissions for our aging sessions (both poster and presentations).

We are interested both in empirical research concerning aging as well as theoretical papers, defined by HFES as: "submissions that make important theoretical contributions to the areas of human factors/ergonomics. We encourage both papers that advance a particular theoretical perspective and those that report on systematic evaluations of alternative theories in a given domain."

Student papers on completed research are especially encouraged and will be eligible for the Arnold Small Award. In recognition of the winner's accomplishment, the student(s) will be presented the award (plaque and $200) during the ATG meeting at the HFES annual conference.

The deadline for submissions is February 23, 2009. Submission information available from:
