The 7th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on
Engineering Interactive Computing Systems

Submissions

EICS 2015 invites submissions in the categories described below. All submissions must be prepared in the standard SIGCHI publication format and will be made via the SIGCHI submission site. All accepted contributions (except Tutorials and submissions to the Doctoral Consortium) will be published in the ACM SIGCHI proceedings of EICS 2015 as well as in the ACM Digital Library. Accepted papers will be included in the final proceedings and program only if at least one author has paid the conference registration fee.

Papers and Late Breaking Results are subjected to a blind review process. We will 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. Further suppression of identity in the body of the paper is left to the authors' discretion. 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.

Submission Categories

Full Papers present original and mature research work (10 pages). Also high-quality, elaborated case studies or practice reports with generalizable findings will be considered. Long paper submissions will have a rebuttal phase which will allow authors to provide clarifications for the reviewers in a short text.

Late-Breaking Results Papers (6 pages) describe preliminary results and/or ongoing work that presents new ideas and concepts.

Demonstrations will be presented and discussed interactively at demo stands. A 4-page description of the demonstration – preferably accompanied by a video illustrating the development – must be submitted.

Workshop proposals should comprise a description of the goals, target audience and organization of the workshop (2 pages), accompanied by a free-form description of the organizers and their background. Workshops can be half-day or full-day. (NOTE: Only workshops with at least six participants paying the associated fee by the early registration deadline will take place at the conference).

The Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for PhD students to present their research goals as well as intermediate results and to discuss them with leading experts in the field as well as with peers to further develop their plans. Students can be in intermediate or advanced stages of their research, but should not have completed their work yet, and should thus still be able to take feedback from the Consortium into account. 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.

Tutorial proposals should address a topic that is of interest for a larger audience and that meets an identifiable educational need within the scope of the EICS themes. Tutorials can be half-day or full-day. Tutorial submissions should comprise a 2-page description of the goals, the target audience and curriculum of the tutorial, as well as a free-form description of the author(s) background and prior experience in presenting the material. As for Workshops, at least six paying participants are required for an accepted tutorial to take place. Furthermore, acceptance of tutorials will depend on the availability of rooms.
