FIRST CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

CHI 2007, ACM conference on Computer/Human Interaction
28 April - 3 May, 2007, San Jose, California, USA
The CHI conference is the leading venue to present innovations in human
computer interaction. The year's best work from researchers and
practitioners is selected in a strictly competitive process. But this
competition also inveitably means that many valuable contributions are
never presented at CHI - and some might not even be submitted.
With alt.chi 2007, we want to open up for unusual, challenging and
thought-provoking work that might not otherwise be seen at the
conference. alt-chi is a place to experiment with how CHI submissions
are presented, submitted, reviewed and selected. alt.chi is CHI's
breathing hole, the space for change, where new ideas can be tried out
and experienced.
Alt.chi invites controversial ideas, novel prototypes, failed but
valuable user studies, bold experiments, and anything else that can give
a fresh perspective on CHI. We invite submissions that explore technical
or practical limitations in technologies or methodologies; that
introduce promising, although currently non-viable techniques; that
critique the current state of the field; and that explore topics outside
of current discussion. In particular, we invite work that would
otherwise not have been presented at CHI 2007 - whether because it has
been rejected from other venues (e.g. Papers), or because it is too
different to be submitted in the first place!
The alt.chi 2007 program will be selected through a non-anonymous
process, where all submissions and reviews are completely open. There
will be an open forum were anyone can register to submit and review, and
all submitters will be required to take part in the selection process.
All reviews and submissions will be available to anyone who registers.
We want to encourage discussion and debate on what makes a good alt.chi
(or regular CHI) submission, what makes a good review, and, ultimately,
what makes for a fruitful conference experience.
