The DIS 2018 Provocations and Works-in-Progress (PWiP) track is a format that allows authors to propose novel, in-progress and thought provoking research. The PWiP format is intended to facilitate discussion between authors and conference attendees. We welcome all submissions related to the design of interactive systems as well as the conference theme of Diversity and Design.
We particularly welcome design research contributions that value:
While PWiP submissions need not have reached the level of completion of Full Paper submissions, they should demonstrate a contribution in terms of research and/or design knowledge.
All PWiP submissions will be double-blind peer-reviewed.
Accepted PWiP submissions will be published in the DIS 2018 companion publication and appear in the ACM Digital Library (adjunct proceedings).
A PWiP paper should not exceed 4 pages (excluding references) formatted using the most recent SIGCHI Extended Abstracts Format (US Letter).
Please include one sentence that can be used in the conference program as a stand-alone teaser or provocation related to your submission, with the aim of drawing attendees to your presentation and engage in discussion.
All submissions should be anonymised and submitted via the Precision Conference System by 12 March, 2018. Deadline extensions will not be possible.
Accepted PWiPs will be required to present a poster or similar physical visual artefact as means of presenting your work and engaging conference attendees. We intend to do some innovation around the usual poster session format so we will work with authors of accepted PWiPs between the notification deadline and the conference itself to make this happen.
