Awards
During the conference dinner the following awards
were presented:
- The John Karlin Award
Further information can be found here.
- The Knut Nordby Design for All Accessibility Award
It is
honoring one of our most eminent HFT Steering Committee and ETSI TC
Human Factors Chairmen.
This Award has a focus on practical
achievements and is given to the author(s) of the paper reporting the
most significant accessibility achievement, in a true design-for-all
approach. The impact of the work on public policies, initiatives and
real product implementations, enabling access to and improving the use
of ICT products and services for all users, including young, older,
disabled, less literate and other people, will form the decisive
arguments.
This Award was founded in 2003 as an expression of
appreciation for Knut Nordby's life-long efforts and achievements in the
area.
It was handed out the first time at the 20th Symposium in 2006.
At the 20th HFT Symposium the paper "Guidelines for the development
of graphical user interfaces suitable for the Nasa Colombian indigenous
community", written by Ángela Consuelo Checa Hurtado, Santiago José
Ruano Rincón, Alfer Leonardo Cerón, César Alberto Collazos, Tulio
Rojas Curieux and Abelardo Ramos received the Knut Nordy
Award.
