*** *Pre-Conference Event** *Call for Papers for USID 2010** Life, culture, and context of use for end users in the emerging markets are different to users in markets such as Europe and America. Therefore it is not necessary that the product which is successful in other parts of the world will also be successful in the markets of emerging economies. It is critical that professionals and organizations must research and understand the culture, context and needs of these people before they design any products, applications, or services for emerging markets. The USID2010 pre-conference event organizing committee is inviting designers, researchers, product development professionals and students from all over the world to submit papers on ideas and research work on how technology should be enabled, utilized, and then presented as solutions to reach the masses of the emerging markets for overall socio-economic development in the following areas - 1. Education & Literacy 2. Mobility, Society, and Culture 3. Digital Communication , Media, and Entertainment 4. Collaboration and Social Networking 5. Accessibility and Assistive technologies 6. Aged and differently-abled population 7. Medical and Healthcare * * The papers will be reviewed by a panel of expert professionals, both from industry and academia, which is under formation.
