Over the years, Interaction Design has produced manifold contributions
to the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) by elevating among
other things the importance of user experience, design practices,
creativity, and participation. By having design as part of the
conference theme, NordiCHI 2012 wants to recognise the significant
vitality of the design community in the Nordic region, including
top-level education, world-class industrial and artistic design, and
high cultural relevance. As new technologies continue to influence
everyday perception of basic concepts such as time and space,
sociocultural changes are taking place that demand HCI researchers to
examine situations with an open mind. In the recent 18:4 issue of ACM
Interactions, Liam Bannon illustrates "how HCI has moved from
evaluation of interfaces through design of systems and into general
sense-making of our world". NordiCHI 2012 embraces this explorative
yet down-to-earth challenge of designing interactive systems for human
practices that are still in the making.
NordiCHI 2012 accepts contributions in several categories. The
technical program is the backbone of the conference, inviting
original, high-quality long and short papers. Other submission
categories include demos, posters and videos; design cases; and
industrial experiences. All of these will be published in the ACM
Digital Library. Proposals may also be submitted for tutorials,
workshops, and the doctoral consortium.
Conference topics include but are not limited to:
- Adaptive and adaptable systems
- Affective computing
- Ambient intelligence
- Artistic and aesthetic aspects of interaction and interface design
- Design cases
- Design methods
- End-user development
- Evaluation methods
- Group and organisation interfaces

WORKSHOPS
Workshops offer an informal environment for attendees with common
interests and diverse perspectives to engage in rich discussions
around works in progress or new areas of research and practice.
NordiCHI 2012 invites workshop proposals addressing basic research,
applied research, new methodologies, emerging application areas,
design innovations, and HCI education. The goal of the workshops is to
generate ideas that might give the NordiCHI community new ways of
thinking about well-travelled themes and topics or that might suggest
new promising directions for future work.
Workshops are held the day before the start of the conference and can
be full or half-day in length. We will give preference to workshops
that focus on community building and communal knowledge creation
rather than structured miniature paper presentation sessions.
The proposal should be no longer than 1500 words and should detail:
- Title and duration
- Workshop theme and goals
- Outcomes of the workshop
- Relevance to the field
- Intended audience
- Organisers' names and backgrounds
- Expected number, balance and selection of participants
- Description of activities planned
- Needed facilities

Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2012
Deadline for submission of papers to workshops: July 20, 2012
Notification of acceptance of papers to workshops: August 10, 2012
TUTORIALS
Tutorials offer participants the opportunity to extend their knowledge
into new areas of expertise, to explore new communities of practice
and to learn about specific concepts, methods and techniques from
recognised experts. Tutorials may be half-day or full day sessions.
NordiCHI 2012 invites tutorials focusing on new and emerging areas,
methods and technologies or experimenting with new forms of
instruction and innovative perspectives in an HCI context.
Proposals for full or half-day tutorials should limit the description
to 500 words and should detail:
- Title and duration
- Intended audience
- Theme and goals
- Description of activities planned
- Prior experiences and evaluations of the tutorial.
- Needed facilities

Submission deadline: May 25, 2012
Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2012
DEMOS POSTERS AND VIDEOS
Posters, videos and demos give participants the opportunity to show
new and interesting ideas in human-computer interaction concepts and
technology. We invite submissions related to the conference theme of
'Making Sense Through Design'.
Demos
Demo submissions are for working prototypes, devices and systems that
focus on the conference themes and HCI in general. We welcome
submissions from industry, research, and design. Like the video
submissions, any demo submissions may feature work that has been
published previously so long as this is indicated in the submission. A
demo proposal is composed of two parts:
1. A short description of the system, max. 2 pages, formatted
according to the ACM SIGCHI Publications Format.
2. A one-page interaction plan, describing how the working system is
going to be used at the conference, including spatial and other
requirements.
Demo presentations are given in two formats:
A – accepted demos will be displayed during the interactive events
session at the conference.
B – authors will be given the opportunity to present a short preview
for a wide audience at the conference.
Presenters must supply all equipment necessary for the demo. Internet
access will be available, but presenters must contact the organisers
about this before the conference. Shipment of equipment is under the
responsibility of the presenters.
Posters
Poster submissions allow authors to submit research that has not yet
reached an appropriate level for a paper. Poster submissions should
include a brief description of related research, and a clear
description of the work along with future work plans. A poster
submission should contain:
1. A short description of the work, max. 2 pages, formatted according
to the ACM SIGCHI Publications Format.
2. A rough design of the poster.
Poster presentations are given in two formats:
A – accepted posters will be displayed during the interactive events
session at the conference.
B – authors will be given the opportunity to present a short preview
for a wide audience at the conference.
Videos
Video submissions should focus on topics of interest to HCI
researchers in relation to the conference theme. Videos can contain
presentations of research prototypes, future innovations or user
studies. Videos may be work that has been published previously. Please
highlight any prior publication of the video content in your
submission. We also welcome submissions that complement a paper. A
video submission should contain:
1. A short description of the work, max. 2 pages, formatted according
to the ACM SIGCHI Publications Format.
2. A mandatory video (max. 5 minutes, 2 – 3 minutes is usually appropriate).
Accepted videos will be presented in the interactive events session at
the conference.

Submission deadline for posters, videos and demos: July 13, 2012
Notification of acceptance will be sent out on August 20, 2012
DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
The doctoral consortium is a full day session taking place on Sunday
14th October 2012. It is intended for Ph.D. students working in the
field of human-computer interaction. The doctoral consortium is an
opportunity to present issues of concern in the doctoral studies, meet
fellow Ph.D. students, and get extensive feedback from the session
co-chairs and other participants. It is primarily intended for
students in the "middle" of their PhD studies (you have started your
study, but it is not too late to make changes based on feedback).
Submit a 2-4 pages paper in ACM SIGCHI Publications Format describing
your PhD project. Please also submit a resume (CV) and a letter of
recommendation from your supervisor. Students accepted will be asked
to read at least two other submissions, and should be prepared to give
feedback to those students during the consortium.
For further information and for submissions, please email the
doctorial consortium chairs at [log in to unmask]
Submission deadline for Doctoral Consortium: 10th of August 2012
Notification of acceptance will be sent out on August 25th, 2012.
DESIGN CASES
Design cases will present on-going or finished designs relating to
human-computer interaction in its broadest sense. We in particular
invite designers that feel on the fringe of traditional academic
conferences to submit their work. Design cases can include artistic
experiments, demos, digital artefacts, reality-based interaction,
technological bodies & interaction design, or media art experiments
There are two submission options:
A. Describing the case on 2 to 6 pages in the ACM SIGCHI Publications
Format. This description will enter the ACM digital library. You may
supplement the submission with any digital material of plans or
designs that may help understand your contribution.
B. A (documentation of) an artistic or design experiment (to be part
of the exhibition and catalogue not to be part of the ACM library).
You should submit 1) a short (precise) description of your ideas - the
conceptual and formal considerations as well as your references to
other work or ideas that has inspired you (if any). 2) A video
documentation of your work - to be exhibited at the conference 'Walk
In Cinema', if your proposal is accepted.
At the conference, the Design Cases sessions will be a mixture of
presentations and contributions to the 'Walk In Cinema'. Each
contribution will get 20 minutes of presentation (including
discussion). When you prepare your presentation, concentrate on
aspects that you could not capture adequately in your paper
submission. This could mean, for example, that you build your
presentation around a demonstration of a key interactive feature of
your work.

Submission deadline for design cases: July 13, 2012
Notification of acceptance will be sent out on August 20, 2012
INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCES
Industrial experiences allow people working in industry to present
their work on human-computer interaction in its broadest sense. The
aim is to gather and share experiences from industry with peers in
industry and academia.
Industrial experiences can be related to any phase of concept or
product development, for example
- How information on users is used to take decisions in various phases
of the development cycle (design decisions, strategic product
decisions, implementation decisions, etc.)
- Process or tool descriptions and real life implementation of the processes
- Experiences with the creation of concepts and real products (using
an HCI approach)
- User studies or usability tests
- Design of products
- Case studies
- Any other HCI related activity related to product creation
All submissions will be reviewed by peers from industry and academia.
The reviewing will emphasize general interest for the NordiCHI
audience and how well the presentation enlightens the realities in
industry, rather than strict academic criteria.
Industrial experiences will be allocated up to 20 minutes
presentations slots and can be presented as talks, videos,, demos (and
given as such) or in a dedicated poster area. Whatever the format,
industrial experiences will be presented in a dedicated Industrial
Experiences session at the conference.
Submissions should contain:
A short description, 2-4 pages, conforming to the ACM SIGCHI
Publications Format. If the presentation contains other material
(e.g., videos or demos), the submission can be supplemented with
visuals or textual descriptions of these.
Presenters must supply all equipment necessary for their presentation
(e.g., demo), beyond a projector and computer. Internet access will be
available, but presenters must contact the organizers about this
before the conference. Shipment of equipment is under the
responsibility of the presenters.
