Workshops

Call for Workshop Proposal 

We invite you to submit proposals for workshops at IndiaHCI 2020. Workshops give an opportunity of bringing together design researchers and design practitioners in academia, public sector, business and industry for a focused and interactive discussion. The theme for this year’s edition is “Emerging Trends in Technology Design”, where the focus would be on several aspects of technology design within the larger context of innovation in emerging markets and diverse end-users. This year the workshops will be conducted online because of the prevailing global circumstances. The exact modalities of the online conference will be communicated in due course. 

What is expected in a Workshop 

Workshops are interactive sessions where participants collaborate and work on a common topic. Unlike courses, workshops enable both organizer(s) and participants to contribute. Each workshop should generate ideas that will give the HCI community a new, organized way of thinking about the topic or that suggest promising directions for future work. 

Preparing and Submitting for workshop 

A workshop submission must be prepared according to the Conference Extended Abstract Format. It must be submitted via the PCS Submission System  as a single PDF file. The proposal must be no more than 4 pages (including references) and have the following structure:

Out of India

Out of India is a curated track at IndiaHCI 2020. Through this track, we aim to showcase some of the best HCI research done in India, which has been presented at premier international venues from September 2019 through October 2020. Over the years, IndiaHCI has been attracting a diverse set of attendees, including students, researchers, industry professionals, and start-ups. The 11th edition of IndiaHCI (IndiaHCI 2020) will be organized as a virtual conference. We are expecting an increase in the number of participants. This presents the authors from India an excellent opportunity to share their published work to a vast audience from India and abroad, socialize with the local HCI community and trigger new collaborations.

We look forward to your virtual participation and presentation at IndiaHCI 2020.

Selection

The authors do not need to submit their paper for the review process. Authors will be invited based on their prior record of publication that fulfills the criteria of this track. However, we do welcome suggestions. We request authors to write to us if they believe their prior publication will be a good addition to this track.

Presenting an Out of India Submission at IndiaHCI

  • At least one author of the paper needs to register for the conference by the first week of October.
  • Each presenting author is required to submit a recording of their presentation by 25th October. Since these papers are already published, the presenters can send us the links to their earlier presentations or submit a recorded presentation of 6 minutes.
  • During the conference, the presenting author needs to join the Zoom session to present the paper, interact with the audience, and answer questions.
  • Each paper will get 6 minutes for presentation followed by 1 minute for QnA.

Call for Course Proposals

IndiaHCI invites proposals to conduct courses aligned with the theme of this year’s conference: “Emerging Trends in Technology Design”. Courses are a great way to introduce new audiences to specific topics in HCI and potentially excite more people about HCI research. The courses will be conducted online this year because of the prevailing global circumstances. The exact modalities of the online conference will be communicated in due course. 

Preparing and submitting a proposal 

The proposals should have a Detailed Course Description, including the structure of the course, a section on other related courses, the expected outcome from the course, the intended audience, optionally, sample course materials, and, preferences for conducting the course (e.g. lecture mode, the level of interaction, spread over multiple days or in one sitting, etc). It is possible that the conference is unable to meet all the desired preferences. 

At the conference  

Accepted Courses with the minimum number of registered participants will be conducted on a suitable online platform (watch out for the platform details on the IndiaHCI website). Course coordinators will receive remuneration based on the IndiaHCI policies. 

What is expected in a Course? 

Courses are usually delivered in a lecture mode, with optional hands-on components, where the instructor(s) introduce the course materials and go reasonably deep into the subject. The audience is not expected to have a background on the subject. The course is intended to motivate the audience to take an interest in the subject matter and study the subject in-depth and start conducting research in the area. Courses might cover areas like research methods, design, engineering, etc

This call for participation is only for individuals interested in conducting courses as instructors. In case you want to attend the courses, please register accordingly. 

Submission Details
