Submissions:

The workshop will be accepting high quality research papers (completed research or research-in-progress papers) and posters that describe novel, early, and creative research ideas. The submissions should not be currently under review elsewhere and the papers/posters should not have appeared elsewhere.

Maximum Length: Completed research papers, research-in-progress, and posters must not exceed 14, 7, and 3 single-spaced pages, respectively. The page limit includes all text, figures, and tables, but does not include the cover page, abstract, keywords, and references.

File formats: Only Word file formats will be accepted. All submissions must be formatted for 8½ x 11 inch paper (1 inch = 2.5 cm) and have 1 inch margins all around. Please use Times New Roman 12-point font with single spacing for the body of the paper. The first page of the manuscript should have a title, the type of the submission (complete research,research in progress, or poster), total word count of the submission, an abstract of 150 words or less, and a list of 5-6 keywords.

Submissions will undergo a double-blind review process. Authors should agree to provide timely reviews of at most two other submissions, if requested. Manuscripts should be in MS Word format and be submitted as email attachments to the workshop program co-chairs: Khawaja Saeed (Khawaja.Saeed@wichita.edu), Hock Chuan (chanhc@comp.nus.edu.sg), and Xiaowen Fang (XFang@cti.depaul.edu) with the subject heading "HCI/MIS workshop submission." Authors can use the body of the email as the cover letter for the submission and should ensure that their identities do not appear in any part of the manuscript.

Publication:

Extended abstracts of all accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. This inclusion should not affect full versions of the papers to be published later in journals. Please follow the format and requirements of the camera-ready version.

Proceedings Submission Guidelines:

Authors of accepted papers should make sure that their final camera-ready versions follow the proceedings guidelines that can be downloaded in Word Format. Each completed research paper and research-in-progress paper should have no more than 5 proceedings pages with an abstract of no longer than 150 words. Each poster paper should have no more than 1 proceeding page with no restriction on the length of the abstract (i.e., the authors can choose to include a long abstract or a short abstract with some text and references, as long as they fit into one page).

Authors of accepted papers should make sure that the following steps are taken:

1. At least one author has to register for the workshop. Otherwise the paper will be withdrawn from presentation at the workshop and the workshop proceedings.

2. The final camera-ready versions of the papers should be submitted as a Word document to Khawaja Saeed (Khawaja.Saeed@wichita.edu), Hock Chuan (chanhc@comp.nus.edu.sg), and Xiaowen Fang (XFang@cti.depaul.edu) via email with the subject "HCI workshop final submission".

3. Each author should provide a short bio of up to 60 words by email. This bio will be listed in the workshop program.
