the exchange of information and ideas among the participants. To do so, the single room symposium consists of short (15-minute) individual presentations followed by 15-minute group discussion. The objective is to share ideas and seek opportunities to collaborate
on or expand research that examines communicating complex information in different contexts. In essence, the Symposium brings together teachers, practitioners, and scholars to address the over-arching questions of: (1) How can individuals collaborate to devise
new approaches to the design and evaluation of complex information systems? and (2) How can individuals work together to define what is meant by usability/user experience and what constitutes usable information in complex systems?</span></div>
