Call For Participation 

The Design Expo is a new category for CHI 2001 that provides an opportunity
to present design work to the broad CHI community. Submissions to this
category will be presented by a moderator and discussant in a conference
session. Submissions should show designs and/or implementations of solutions
to design problems in computer-human interaction. Special focus should be
given to design solutions that address the conference theme of "anyone.
anywhere." 
Types of Submissions Design solutions for interaction and display problems, visual display,
auditory display/sonic interaction and feedback, haptic interaction and
feedback, solutions for special access by children, the elderly, and users
with disabilities. Domains appropriate to this category include traditional
screen-based solutions, information appliances, and hand-held devices.
Target implementations can include but are not limited to operating systems,
application software, media layers and system extensions, and World Wide Web
solutions. 
Design solutions should include two-page papers to be published in the CHI
2001 Extended Abstracts supported by a visual or interactive illustration in
accompanying images, digital video figures limited to 2 minutes in length,
or self-contained digital demos limited to 10MB in data size. The written
submission must stand on its own and should include: a statement of the
design problem with supporting contextual description; alternative design
proposals you considered to solve the problem; a concise description of
constraints on implementation of your design solution; implications of your
work to the field of HCI; and recommendations for further investigation.
Full literature searches are not expected, although relevant citations and
preceding work in this particular problem area should be included. The
visual or interactive illustration should also stand on its own, but must
also add substantially to the two-page paper. Summaries of wider findings or
reduced versions of longer papers are not suitable for this category. You
must include instructions for operating your interactive illustration, if
required, in an addendum to your extended abstract. 
Review Criteria Each submission will be reviewed on the 
basis of its contribution to the
field of HCI, evaluation or demonstration of the results, innovation in
matching the problem to a solution, originality of the work, and quality of
the written and illustrative presentation. Please see the papers submission
category for more information on these review criteria. Additionally, the
submission must stand on its own so that it is suitable for presentation by
a moderator/discussant. Submissions to this exposition will be reviewed by
designers according to the above criteria. Selection is based on quality of
design solution, applicability to the conference theme, and suitability for
presentation in this category. 
Format A design expo submission consists of two parts: a two-page extended 
abstract
and a visual or interactive illustration. Prepare your two-page extended
abstract in the CHI Conference Publications Format including title, author
information, abstract, keywords, body and references. 
The visual or interactive illustration must be digital 
and must stand on its
own without requiring special hardware or software. The format of your
illustration may be a sequence of images, a digital video (MPEG-1 or
QuickTime formats only) illustrating interaction, or a prototype or limited
application in a cross-platform format (e.g., Director, Shockwave, Flash,
QuickTime, HTML). Visual or interactive illustrations must operate on a
standard configuration PC or Macintosh computer (please contact us at the
Send To address for more details) and may not be submitted in a proprietary
file type without a widely available player application free from licensing
or registration conditions. For additional details, contact us at the Send
To address. Your illustration may not required more than 10M of hard disk
storage space, and should be self-contained. URLs are not sufficient for
this illustration, although they may be included in the extended abstract.
You are encouraged to make the original submission available to individuals
who might later request it. Prepare this illustration to be shown or
demonstrated at the conference For purposes of archiving and distributing
your illustration at the conference, you must provide a version that is
transferable to videotape. Please inquire of the co-chairs if you have
further questions or need assistance. 
Both the two-page extended abstract, prepared as a single PDF file, and 
the
visual or interactive illustration should be sent to us electronically via
FTP. Please contact us at the Send To address or phone number for additional
details regarding the FTP site. If you cannot submit your materials via FTP,
contact us to make alternative arrangements. 
Upon Acceptance Authors will be notified of acceptance or 
rejection by 6 November 2000.
Extended abstracts of accepted design expo submissions will be published in
the CHI 2001 Extended Abstracts. Videos of the illustrations will be
published in the CHI 2001 Video Program. Accepted authors will be given the
opportunity to submit an edited video prior to CHI 2001 producing the
conference video. The primary author of each accepted submission will
receive an Author Kit with detailed instructions on how to submit
camera-ready materials for publication. These materials are due by 8
December 2000. 
At The Conference Submissions will be grouped by related themes and presented by a moderator,
and compared, contrasted, and remarked by a discussant from the field of
design for HCI during one of two sessions. Authors must be present during
these sessions to present the actual design (not just the video of the
design) and answer questions from the audience.
