Abstract

Designing truly international interfaces requires the participation of a representative international community. The perception of ACM-SIGCHI as an "American" conference is starting to change. ACM-SIGCHI has taken initial action to increase participation from international audiences by creating the International Issues Committee (IIC) (Novick, 98). However, differences in cultures, languages, and traditions, make real international collaboration a very challenging endeavor.Some differences among international research communities were originally identified in CHI '97 (Boy and Novick, 1997): language, style for writing and reviewing papers, economic disparities, lack of awareness, among others. We believe that, one way to foster international cooperation is to create "cultural clusters," that is, groups that share similar culture, problems and other characteristics.
