Just a reminder about this annual event. A great opportunity to air your
ideas with a good track record of high-quality discussion. There's always
an interesting mix of material and perspectives, inclusive of
person-technological research with the broadest remit, serving to enrich
the work of all who participate. Previous Basic Research Symposia have
included engineers, artists, social and physical scientists or creative
writers.
Mission and Vision
******************
The mission of the CHI Basic Research Symposium is to provide a venue where
researchers conducting ground-breaking, controversial, and emerging
research can discuss that research with a diverse group of peers. This
mission has three important components:
* Ground-breaking, controversial, and emerging research. The symposium does
not seek "archival" research that has been well-established and completed.
Much of
the research at the symposium will eventually mature into work suitable for
the CHI conference and journals, but it is equally important to include
research that may fail. This is not a venue for safe results.
* Discussion. Participants in the research symposium do not simply present
research with nominal time for questions; discussion and feedback are
integral to the symposium, as are the group and small-group discussions.
* Diverse group of peers. Each year the symposium attracts a group of
people from all over the world and from all disciplines related to HCI.
Senior researchers, emerging researchers, and graduate students participate
side-by-side in a non-threatening and lively atmosphere.
The vision for this year's Basic Research Symposium is for each participant
to leave with a better understanding of the research methods, goals, and
frontiers of a wide range of HCI disciplines. Each participant should
contribute to the collective understanding and leave with new ideas for
conducting, integrating, and applying research.
