** 7th International Conference on ** **** Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces CADUI 2008 **** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS / PARTICIPATION We invite you to participate in the CADUI 2008 conference in Albacete, Spain, June 11-13, 2008. CADUI provides an international forum for discussion between researchers, practitioners and students interested in new approaches for the advancement of tools, design environments, methods and related infrastructure that provide assistance to designers and developers in the user interface development life cycle, including requirements elicitation, early design, rapid prototyping, detailed design, development, software testing, usability evaluation, deployment, maintenance, and reengineering. CADUI 2008 is the seventh conference of this series and will be held in Albacete, Spain. The conference will consist of three days of scientific presentations. This edition will emphasize the theme of “Design, Quality and New Interaction Paradigms in a Collaborative World”. *** Conference website: http://cadui2008.albacete.org/ *** Important dates: Full papers due: February 1st, 2008 Notification of acceptance: March 15th, 2008 Final paper due: April 15, 2008 Early registration deadline: May 1st, 2008 *** For more information, please contact the Conference Chairs: Victor Lopez-Jaquero, Jose P.
