  • Motivational/emotional aspects of human interaction with IT artefacts
  • Motivation, engagement, goal sharing
  • Innovative interactive paradigms with physical and virtual system (e.g. haptic, embodied interaction)
  • Rapid prototyping and digital fabrication
  • Resilience and diversity
  • Trust and control in complex systems
  • Situation awareness
  • User research concepts, methods, and empirical studies
  • Human Computer Interaction
  • Virtual and augmented reality
  • Conversational user interfaces
  • Advanced user interfaces

Submission Guidelines

All submissions should be written in English and authors should anonymise their papers.
All submissions fulfilling the submission requirements will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Formatting

Please visit https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow for all information on formatting and templates to create your manuscript for submission.

If you have any questions regarding the formatting of your paper, please contact the Program Chairs: Annamaria Recupero (annamaria.recupero@unisi.it).

Submission Categories

  • Long and Short Papers

The size of long papers can be 8 pages at most, including all sections, references, and possible appendices.
The size of short papers can be 4 pages at most, including all sections, references, and possible appendices.
The papers should be anonymised before submission to EasyChair in PDF-format.

  • Demonstrations

Submissions can also be demonstrations, where the aim is to show work in a setting which facilitates open discussion. These sessions are suitable for authors who wish to present and demonstrate their work, smaller projects, systems or prototypes in a more interactive and informal setting during ECCE 2019. Demonstration papers should not exceed 2 pages (including references), explaining the work to be presented, how it will be presented, and the relevance of the presentation to conference attendees.
Demonstration proposals and any particular requirements for the demonstration (e.g., size of equipment, power, networking etc.) should be submitted to the Program Chair: Annamaria Recupero (annamaria.recupero@unisi.it)

  • Workshop

We strongly encourage researchers to suggest topics for the workshops taking place on October 6, 2020. The suggested topics should be related to the themes mentioned above (at least to some extent) and sent to the Program Chairs: Annamaria Recupero (annamaria.recupero@unisi.it)

Submissions to the Doctoral Consortium

We encourage PhD students to submit to the doctoral consortium taking place on October 6, 2020. The submission deadline is the same as the main paper submission deadline (see above).

Submissions should be sent to the Doctoral Consortium Chairs: Name (e-mail address).

Doctoral Consortium papers can be 4 pages at most, including all sections, references, and possible appendices. Submissions should provide a summary of the PhD student’s work (including aspects such as research context, achievements, future directions and issues experienced) and a 1-page CV. Submissions must be in PDF format.

Gary Marsden Student Development Fund

SIGCHI student members (or interested in becoming members) who are postgraduate students from, and currently based in, developing countries are eligible to apply to the SIGCHI Gary Marsden Student Development Fund (that may cover a maximum of $2500 USD, including travel (economy class flight tickets, ground transportation), accommodation (student housing if available), and meals during the conference can be covered by reimbursement), if they have an accepted contribution, or are accepted as doctoral consortium student, or volunteering of any kind (such as student volunteer) for the conference.

Peer-REVIEW Process

Conference committee members review the submitted contributions to evaluate quality and suitability for publication based on the following criteria:

  • the contribution addresses the main topics of the conference and fits the scope of the conference;
  • the contribution is original and it has not been published elsewhere;
  • the study design and methodology are appropriate and clearly described so that they can be replicated by others;
  • results are clearly presented and supported by reliable and significant research data;
  • the research meets all applicable standards for the ethics of experimentation and research integrity.

The Conference Chair identifies two reviewers for each contribution, asking them to read and comment on the submitted manuscript. The Conference Chair considers reviewer feedback and their evaluation of the manuscript in order to reach a decision about rejection or acceptance of the contribution.

Notifications to authors are provided on 4 May 2020. Decisions are communicated to the corresponding author along with reviewers’ feedback. In case of both major revision and minor revision, authors are invited to revise the manuscript and re-submit it on 22 July 2020.
