Call for Workshops
The call for Workshops is now closed.
We invite WORKSHOP PROPOSALS to be presented on the day preceding the full conference (25th June 2015).
Workshops offer an informal environment for attendees with common interests and diverse perspectives to engage in rich discussions around works in progress or new areas of research and practice. Workshops can relate to, but are not limited to, the topics of the conference (see the Call for Participation for an overview), and are a good opportunity to explore a specialised interest or interdisciplinary topic with greater time for in depth discourse, debate and collaboration. Admission to workshops will be charged separately from the main conference.
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Submit 500-1,000 word PDF proposal addressing the following:
• Clearly state the title, topic.
• The anticipated audience and expected number of participants.
• Proposed channels for promoting and marketing your workshop/proposal.
• Name(s) of proposer(s)/submitter(s).
• Indicate venue requirements and especially note any hardware/software requirements (computer lab, tools, workshop, software applications). Please indicate if there are any safety implications (eg. soldering) that may need health and safety compliance.
• If you require any technical or specialist equipment, indicate clearly if you will be supplying/bringing it yourself or whether other arrangments need to be made.
• Specify whether you would like a half-day or full-day time-slot
• Include 1 paragraph bio & affiliation for each workshop organiser(s) and 2-paragraph background relating to proposed topic. Please use the SIG CHI Extended Abstract format: http://chi2012.acm.org/cfp-formatting-instructions.shtml
Also note:
• Workshop proposers should engage in the promotion of their event amongst own networks and on mailing lists. The workshop will also be publicised on the conference website.
• We will give preference to workshops that focus on community building and communal knowledge creation rather than structured miniature paper presentation sessions
• Workshop proposer(s) are responsible for organising the publication of any workshop proceedings if desired.
• Workshops may be cancelled or combined if there is insufficient participation
Submission Details
Submissions [Length / Format]
Use the two-column ACM SIGCHI format. Templates are available for Latex and Word. You must submit your workshop proposals as a 2 page PDF.
Workshop proposals will be submitted through he Creativity and Cognition Precision Conference web site. The total size of all submitted materials, including video, should not exceed 100 Mb. The CHI and UIST guides to producing good video figures are useful.
CHI Anonymization Policy
All papers PDFs and videos must be submitted anonymously for review. Author and affiliation sections and credits must be left blank. Authors of accepted submissions will address this in preparation of "camera-ready" copy.
We are using the ACM CHI Anonymization Policy of blind reviewing. We use a relaxed model that does not attempt to conceal all traces of identity from the body of the paper. Authors are expected to remove author and institutional identities from the title and header areas of the paper, as noted in the submission instructions (Note: changing the text color of the author information is not sufficient). Also, please make sure that identifying information does not appear in the document's meta-data (e.g., the 'Authors' field in your word processor's 'Save As' dialog box).
We do expect that authors leave citations to their previous work unanonymized, so that reviewers can ensure that all previous research has been taken into account by the authors. Authors should cite their own work in the third person, e.g., avoid "As described in our previous work [10], ... " and use instead "As described by <Author Name> [10], ..."
