The Doctoral Consortium is held on Sunday and Monday prior to the conference and provides an opportunity for doctoral students in the final stages of their research projects to interact with other students and experienced researchers. Workshops Workshops bring together people with a focused shared interest who wish to explore and develop their work collaboratively. Workshops last for one or two days. The opening plenary speaker, Rick Prelinger, film archivist and analyst, will discuss past claims about the future and explore why some of these claims have been realized and some have not. Papers, Design Briefings and Technical Notes Papers and Design Briefings are twenty-five minute presentations.
Papers present high quality original research.
Design Briefings are the same quality as papers but focus on interface designs with special emphasis on the design process that resulted in the conceptual issues embodied in the designs. Technical Notes are similar to Papers but focus on a small aspect of research and the presentations are ten minutes. Demonstrations Demonstrations enable participants to view systems in action and discuss them with the people who created them. Organizational Overviews Organizational Overviews provide briefings on the work of organizations engaged in HCI research and practice. Typically these presentations describe how an HCI group developed, and its key activities with particular emphasis on research and development.
