INVITED PAPERS SUBMISSIONS: process open until 1st March 2013

Deadline for Camera-ready Receipt of invited papers: Friday, 1 March 2013

Proposals for Participation

All submissions are peer-reviewed by three independent referees from the International Program Boards.

Volunteer external reviewers also took part in the review process.

Parallel Paper Presentations:

Papers should include a statement of the objective and significance of the proposed presentation, a description of methods and a discussion of results:

• papers in the theoretical category dealing with models, concepts, and structures;
• papers in the generic category presenting research results of broad applicability; and
• papers in the applied category showing how the demands of particular application areas shape the way generic research is translated into practical innovation.

There are two different procedures for paper submission and selection in HCI International Conference series:

1. The regular process: Prospective authors submit extended abstracts (800 words) of papers in one of the Conference Thematic Areas. Following a peer-review process, a decision is communicated to the authors.
   
   The review process of the HCI International Conference is not blind. The name and contact details of the author(s) that appear on the paper are given to the reviewers.
   
   The abstract, which should be submitted for the review process, can be submitted in either DOC or PDF format, but no special formatting guidelines apply in this stage. References, tables and figures are acceptable in the abstract. References are in addition to the 800-words limit.
2. By invitation: The Conference has a long established tradition of inviting distinguished scientists and professionals in the HCI field to organize parallel sessions. Session organizers are responsible for inviting 6 or 7 prospective authors (academics, researchers and practitioners known in the field for their acknowledged work) to submit paper contributions. Session organizers are also responsible for organizing and carrying out the peer-review process either on an extended abstract or the full paper (it is up to them). It is also the responsibility of the session organizers to set up any intermediate deadlines with the authors in a way that would ensure that the camera-ready version (full paper, minimum 6 pages long, maximum 10 pages long) of all session papers reach the Conference Organizers on time for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. Therefore, the only hard deadline for invited parallel sessions is Friday, 1 March 2013.

Camera-ready papers (minimum 6 pages long, maximum 10 pages long) should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS formatting guidelines.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For paper presentation at the Conference and publication in the Proceedings of HCI International 2013 and the affiliated conferences, one registration per paper is required. However, individuals can appear as co-authors in several papers.

Poster Sessions:

These sessions will accommodate the presentation of late-breaking scientific and professional news or work in progress.

For the review process, an abstract of 300 words should be submitted, including the essence of the planned presentation. The abstract can be submitted in either DOC or PDF format, but no special formatting guidelines apply in this stage. References, tables and figures are acceptable in the abstract. The 300-words limit excludes references.

The review process of the HCI International Conference is not blind. The name and contact details of the author(s) that appear on the poster are given to the reviewers.

Camera-ready extended poster abstracts  (minimum 4 pages long, maximum 5 pages long) should be formatted according to the Springer formatting guidelines

Tutorials:

Half-day and full-day Tutorials will be offered at introductory, intermediate and advanced levels covering the entire spectrum of the topics of the Conference.
For the review process, an abstract of 300 words should be submitted, including the objective, content and target audience.
