[Asis-l] Deadline approaching - Demos at CHIIR 2018

[Rebecca Reynolds]

The ACM SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction & Retrieval (CHIIR<http://sigir.org/chiir2018/index.php>) will be held in New Brunswick, NJ US from March 11-15, 2018. CHIIR is the pre-eminent forum for the presentation and discussion of research related to the user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval, including human involvement in search activities, information seeking and use in context, and the design of interactive systems.


Call for Demonstrations

The Conference and Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to Information Interaction and Retrieval to submit original proposals for demonstrations for presentation at the conference, due 10/22/17. Demonstrations enable presenters to give participants first-hand experience of novel research prototypes, operational systems, or in-progress concepts in development. Presenters may promote their work to leading members of this research community, to exchange ideas gained from implementing systems with leading researchers, and to obtain direct feedback from expert users. A paper describing each accepted demonstration will be included in the CHIIR 2018 conference proceedings.


Deadline:

22 October 2017


What makes a good demo?

A good demonstration submission is of interest to a CHIIR audience of active students and researchers. The submission should both describe and show the proposed solution, addressing questions such as: What problem does the prototype/system/concept seek to address? How does it do so? Who are the users? How will you demonstrate this work? How does the work compare with those that exist already? Finally, how, where and when will your technology have a technical or commercial impact? Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas announced on the CHIIR 2018 website.


Submission guidelines

Demonstration submissions to CHIIR 2018 will have a limit of 3 pages, and one addendum page with references. Wireless network access, along with a table and poster mount backdrop, will be provided for all accepted demonstrations. Templates for CHIIR are available from the ACM Website<http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>  (use the 2017 ACM Master Article Template).


Demo proposals should be submitted electronically via the CHIIR conference submission website. At least one author of each accepted demonstration must register and attend the conference.
