Chinese CHI 2023: Call for Workshop Proposals

2023-09-10EventsPart ofChinese CHI 2023 Timeline→

Chinese CHI 2023, organized by International Chinese Association of Computer Human Interaction (ICACHI), will take place November 13–16, 2023, in Bali, Indonesia, in a hybrid format. The theme is Generative, Reflect, and Envision.

We warmly invite conference workshop proposals covering human–computer interaction, industrial design, user experience, and user interface design. Topics may include fundamental or applied research, human–computer interaction practice, human–computer interaction education, methodologies, emerging applications, and design innovation.

Industry teams are welcome to organize workshops, offering new development tools or design platforms and testing designs or technologies to gather feedback for new applications of human–computer interaction. Doctoral students in human–computer interaction and design are also encouraged to organize workshops to share findings, evaluate design methods, and meet researchers with common interests.

We particularly encourage the following workshop types:

1. Highly interactive workshops. If you are developing a new human–computer interaction technology or paradigm, bring a prototype to explore potential applications, use cases, research questions, and future directions with participants.
2. Highly collaborative workshops. If you are developing a new design method, organize a workshop to apply and evaluate it.

Workshop Information

Workshops are expected to take place November 13, 2023, last half a day, and typically have 8–15 participants.

Call for Workshop

We invite you to submit proposals for workshops at Chinese CHI 2023. The workshops can focus on any area related to the field of human-computer interaction, industrial design, user experience and user interface design. In particular, workshops on challenging, emerging areas related to this year's conference topics are especially sought. The workshops might address basic research, applied research, HCI practice, HCI education, new methodologies, emerging application areas, or design innovations.

We highly encourage the enterprise research, design or engineering team in the company to organize a workshop. The enterprise organizers could provide their developer tools/design platform for participants, and testing the newly designed technologies in the workshop and collect feedback. It might also be a good place to brainstorm new applications and usage context for the newly developed HCI technologies.

We also highly encourage PhD students in the area of HCI and design, to consider organizing a workshop and leverage it as a place to share your research results or evaluate your design methods. It might be a good chance to find researchers who care about the same challenges, questions, and research agendas as you.

We particularly encourage proposals for

1. Highly interactive workshops. If you are working on developing new technologies or modalities for HCI, you could bring your interactive prototypes to the workshop, where the attendees could work together to think about the potential application areas, use cases, research topic or that suggest promising directions for future work.
2. Highly collaborative workshops. If you are working on developing new design methods, you could apply your design methods in organizing a co-creation workshop on relevant design topics. The outcomes of the workshops can be used to evaluate your methods.

Quick Facts

The expected date of the workshops would be November 13, 2023, before the main track of the conference.

Workshops are scheduled for half day long and a typical workshop will have 8 to 15 participants.

Selection Process

• Once a workshop is accepted, workshop organizers are responsible for publicizing the workshop and soliciting potential participants. Workshop organizers solicit participants for their workshop through a Call for Participation. Chinese CHI will also place a link to the workshop’s website on a page listing accepted workshops.
• Upon acceptance, the workshop organizers are required to create a sharable booklet, or a website with workshop specific information. The workshop organizers may decide to cap the number of attendees for the workshop.
