Submissions

Submissions are solicited in the following categories:

Research Papers

Research paper submissions (10 pages) should describe substantial contributions of novel ongoing work that has produced advanced results including validation of results. Accepted submissions will be presented in the main conference pro-gram, published in the conference proceedings, and authors may be considered for an additional live demonstration in the conference demonstration session. Notice that papers must be submitted using the SIGCHI publication format: http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform.

Contact: researchpapers@eics2010.org

Late Breaking Results

Late breaking results submissions (6 pages) should provide a short report on relevant work in progress. Accepted submissions will be presented in the main conference program and published in the conference proceedings. The conference program committee will decide if accepted submissions are to be presented as a short talk or as a poster. It is important to note that late breaking results should be submitted as camera-ready papers. Papers must be submitted using the SIGCHI publication format: http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform.

Important dates:

Practice and Experience Reports

Practice and Experience Report submissions (10 pages) should describe good (and bad) practices and/or to present practical evaluations of methods, techniques and tools. Accepted submissions will be presented in the main conference program and published in the conference proceedings. Papers must be submitted using the SIGCHI publication format: http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform.

Important dates:

Demonstrations

Demonstration submissions (6 pages) should describe cutting-edge systems not described in paper submissions, such as a demonstration of a design or development tool or technique. Demonstration submissions should summarize the system's significance and its performance and should include at least two screen shots. Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings and their systems demonstrated in the conference demonstration session. Papers must be submitted using the SIGCHI publication format: http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform.

Doctoral Consortium

Doctoral Consortium submissions (4 pages) should present a PhD thesis topic motivated by aims and goals, supported by some work in-progress and that present original, sound, and advanced results in order to address a well-defined problem. The submission should be accompanied with a free-form CV of the PhD candidate. Accepted submissions will be presented during a special session dedicated to the Doctoral Consortium and authors will be invited to present a poster of their work during a session during the main conference. Contributions must be submitted using the SIGCHI publication format: http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform.

Tutorials

Tutorials present an opportunity for leading researchers and practitioners to promote relevant aspects of engineering interactive computing systems. They will be selected by a panel of referees and will be held only if they attract the required minimum number of participants.

Tutorials will be chosen on the basis of the quality of presentation and the value to the audience. Please note that tutorial submissions may not be anonymous. Tutorial submissions include two PDF files: a 2-page proposal and a 2-page extended abstract for the proceedings in the SIGCHI publications format http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform. The proposal should contain the title of the tutorial, a description of the aims and goals, the format (half-day or full-day), intended audience (young/senior researchers/practitioners), tutor's background (including previous events in which this or a similar tutorial was given), content outline, and a 300 word abstract for the advance program.

Important dates:

Workshops

Workshop submissions (2 pages) should present an advanced research topic that is currently under discussion. Each submission should include: a description of the workshop aims and goals, the format, the CV of the organizers, and the potential out-comes of the workshop. Further information on the call for worshop proposals.

Instructions to Authors

All accepted papers will be published in the ACM SIGCHI proceedings of EICS 2010 as well as in the ACM Digital Library.

All submissions (except tutorials and workshops) must be carefully anonymized. Attention must be paid to references (e.g. never write "In our previous work [3]"). Confidentiality will be maintained during the review process.

All submissions must be prepared according to the standard SIGCHI publications format (http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform).

The maximum length is:

• 10 pages for research papers and practice and experience reports
• 6 pages for late breaking results and demonstrations
• 4 pages for doctoral consortium
• 2 pages for workshops, 2 + 2 for tutorials

Videos can be provided as a supplement to any submission and are strongly encouraged in the case of demonstrations. Videos should be no more than 5 minutes in length and 50 MB in size; they should be playable on standard PC or Macintosh computers.
