CALL FOR PAPERS: CHI3013 Workshop on Human Computer Interaction in Third Places

Please note at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and one or more days of the conference: http://chi2013.acm.org/attending/registration/

“Third places” are neither work or home; rather, they are places such as coffee shops and bars, where playful conversation shapes the social links that tie communities together. Emerging information and communication technologies (ICT) have introduced new ways to interact with such third places – i.e. geo-tagging, crowd-sourcing and passive sensing – changing how we interact with other people, and how contemporary communities are shaped.
The goal of the first Workshop on Human Computer Interaction in Third Places (HCI-3P) is to better understand, through academic discussion and a field activity, the best approaches to designing ICT for third places. The outcomes of the workshop will be a research agenda, collaborative research proposals and the initiation of a recurring workshop on the topic.

HCI-3P is scheduled as a two day CHI2013 workshop. The first day will be dedicated to discussing the state of current research, while the second day will promote research collaboration through a field activity taking place on several Parisian third places.

Submissions should describe ongoing research on novel interfaces, research methodologies, or research positions on human computer interaction for third places. If accepted, at least one author of the paper will need to attend the workshop. Attendees must register for the CHI-3P workshop and at least one (1) day of the conference.

Papers should be 2-6 pages in length
Papers should be anonymized
Position papers can be submitted
Submissions should be done following the CHI Extended Abstract Format: http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/format/
Email your paper in CHI Extended Abstract Format in PDF format to roberto@robertocalderon.ca with subject HCI-3P by December 28th.
