[Asis-l] CFP for Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH)

[Madhu Reddy]

======== Call for Participation ========

 

Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare

 

April 11, 2010, Atlanta Georgia USA

 

Co-located with the annual CHI conference

 

================================

 

Authors may present their work in one of two formats: Short Talks or
Interactive Posters. Short Talks are brief oral presentations by the
author, while interactive posters focus more on visual presentation and
discussion between the author and attendees around the poster. We expect
the majority of presentations to be interactive posters with a limited
subset of people invited to give short talks. If you do not want to be
considered for the short talk track, preferring only the poster
presentation format, please make this known to the chairs. See also the
WISH website:  http://www.chi2010.org/wish

 

***Submissions***

Both short talk and posters should submit a four page paper in the ACM
extended abstracts format. Accepted submissions are published in the
WISH 2010 proceedings but not the ACM digital library. Authors retain
all copyright. We encourage preliminary ideas, design sketches,
experimental results, policy and theoretical contributions, works in
progress, and any other health and interactive systems related content.
The goal is to foster discussion, encourage broad ideas, and bring
together a wide interdisciplinary audience.  A submission should

include:

 

      * A concise description of the idea(s)

 

      * Results, findings, or theoretical discussion

 

      * The implications of the work to the interdisciplinary community
who may be present

 

      * Recommendations for further investigation Full literature
searches are not expected, although relevant citations should be
included.

The paper and abstract, as submitted for review, will be regarded as the
final publication-ready version of your submission. Therefore, the
abstract and paper submission must be clearly written, carefully
proofread, and correctly formatted.

 

***How to Submit***

Upload your submission in PDF format to the WISH Electronic Submission
Web site at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WISH2010/ by 5:00pm PST

6 January 2010. Follow the instructions for the file upload and enter
the requested information, including author information, keywords, and
abstract. Note that the process of producing a PDF file of your
submission can sometimes cause changes in the length of the
contributions. Authors are advised to generate and check PDFs of their
submissions to verify that their final submission stays within the
length restrictions of the WISH submission process.

 

***NEW Mentoring Program***

 

We are pleased to offer a mentoring program to pair students, post-
doctoral researchers, and people relatively new to health+HCI research
(e.g., clinicians, junior faculty, people switching fields) with senior
members of the field.  This mentoring program will include a  

joint dinner with these individuals and some time for 1:1 meetings.   

We also hope to be able to offer fellowships to attend WISH and CHI
corresponding with this program.  The size of each grant will be decided
on a per-case basis and can be applied to registration, travel, and
lodging. Preference will be given to people who: (a) have demonstrated
need; (b) have not recently attended CHI and who might not otherwise
attend the conference; (c) have work accepted to the workshop; (d) are
at a stage in their careers that they would benefit from mentorship.
