# MOTIVATION AND GOALS

In CHIGreece 2023 we are excited to invite the Greek research community and other researchers, residing in various institutions in Greece, Cyprus and abroad, to come together, present and disseminate their research and innovations. The event will host plenary sessions with keynote speakers, papers presentations, exhibition and interactive experiences and a track dedicated to young researchers. In addition, a panel of experts will exchange on this year’s topic of World Usability Day.

CHIGreece 2023 is expected to offer a vibrant venue of engagement and collaboration for researchers and practitioners in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) to showcase their work and share their experiences and new ideas for long-term sustainable HCI.


# THEMATIC AREAS

Papers are expected to address challenging and innovative topics in Human-Computer Interaction theory, methodology and practice, including but not limited to:

- HCI and education
- HCI and digital heritage
- HCI in Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality
- Mobile HCI
- HCI and Adaptation & Personalization
- HCI and Accessibility & Assistive Technologies
- HCI in the Pandemic
- HCI in Business
- HCI and design
- HCI and games
- Natural HCI
- HCI and Social Media & Networks
- HCI and Interactive Entertainment
- Human-AI Interaction and Explainability
- Understanding users and human behaviour
- HCI and Privacy & Security
- HCI and Trust & Fairness
- Methodologies for HCI
- Evaluation of usability, accessibility and user experience (UX) 


# TYPES OF PAPERS

We encourage original and relevant contributions focusing on experiences and lessons learned from real-life applications, current state-of-the-art methodologies, challenges tackled and solutions adopted, tools, algorithms, and services in the academic, public or private sector, studies, theories, techniques, and evaluation procedures that could support HCI aspects in various levels of interactive environments.

All conference papers must contain original, previously unpublished, research work adhering the four publication types:

- Full research papers: 10 pages + references, proposing original reports of new research techniques, findings, and applications clearly indicating its innovative aspects. Research procedures and technical methods should be presented in sufficient detail to ensure reproducibility, and results should be clearly communicated with the respective implications and impact.
- Short research papers: 7 pages + references. of references, proposing original and highly promising research or applications. Merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance rather than maturity, extensive technical validation, and user studies.
- Exhibition & interactive experiences: Initially an extended abstract of 500 words for review from individuals and research groups also in industrial organizations, spin-offs, corporations, government institutions and public administration active in the broad field of HCI eager to share ideas, results, demonstrations, functional prototypes, installations with other HCI researchers, professionals, and stakeholders. It is a track dedicated to industry and academia, and it seeks to showcase their innovations and promote collaborations among them (upon acceptance further guidelines will be provided for the camera-ready version).
- Doctoral Consortium: 6 pages + 2 pages max. of references, submitted by young researchers / doctoral students that want to discuss their research goals, methods, and results at an early stage in their research and receive invaluable feedback. They should highlight the following, or similar, aspects like research problem, related work, research questions, proposed approach and expected innovation, current progress and future work. In the first page, they should include their research title, name, name(s) of their supervisors and university (upon acceptance further guidelines will be provided for the camera-ready version).

Manuscripts should be formatted using the new workflow for ACM publications – as single-column paper submissions. Instructions and templates are available here: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow.


# SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION

All papers will undergo a peer review process by at least three expert reviewers to ensure a high standard of quality, considering originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of exposition, and relevance to the conferences thematic areas. CHIGreece 2023 uses:

- Double blind review process for Full and Short papers. Authors must omit their names and affiliations from submissions, and avoid obvious identifying statements. Papers should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file through the EasyChair submission system by selecting the respective paper category.
- Single blind (curated) review process for Doctoral Consortium (DC) and Exhibition & Interactive Experiences (EIE) papers. Authors do not need to be anonymized before submission. Papers should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file by clearly indicating as prefix in Subject the respective acronym of the submission (e.g., [DC] <Title of your paper>), to: [log in to unmask]

Accepted Full, Short and Doctoral Consortium papers will be included in the conference’s proceedings, published by ACM and will be available via the ACM Digital Library. Exhibition & interactive experiences papers will be available on the conference Web-site. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper in the conference.
