Ubicomp '13 workshop: Human Interfaces for Civic and Urban Engagement 
(HiCUE '13)

http://hicue2013.blogspot.fi/

HiCUE '13 invites papers for the first international workshop of Human 
Interfaces for Civic and Urban Engagement, co-organized with the 2013 
ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing 
(UbiComp 2013). The day-long workshop will be held on Sunday, September 
8, 2013, before the main conference. The workshop will be conducted as a 
single mini-track, in which each participant will present his/her 
workshop paper (10 minutes), followed by a short (5 minutes) discussion. 
The workshop will be wrapped up with a panel discussion and an informal 
coffee break for networking with other researchers.

** Objectives **
The first objective of this workshop is to provide a shared forum for 
researchers interested in public human interfaces in urban environments. 
This includes all who are interested in building novel interfaces as 
well as researchers and practitioners utilizing already existing and 
deployed interfaces in modern cities. The main focus is in broad civic 
purposes, such as information dissemination, obtaining feedback from 
citizens and citizen participation in general.

We hope this workshop will make an impact as a venue for urban computing 
researchers to join and share their knowledge, experience reports and 
frustrations in engaging users in authentic settings for civic purposes.

The long-term objective of the HiCUE workshop will be to foster a 
community interested in how to provide interfaces to the human 
inhabitants of a City, how they can effortlessly interact with it while 
going about their daily lives, and what we can learn from the 
appropriation of the provided technology and services.

** Topics of interest **
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * APPLICATIONS: applications with a civic purpose and that are
    designed to be run or are evaluated in authentic settings, i.e.
    outside the laboratory
  * EXPERIENCE REPORTS: user evaluation or descriptive reports of
    long-term installations that inform or promote civic engagement in
    urban environments
  * METHODOLOGIES: methods and methodologies for evaluating human
    interfaces for civic purposes
  * SYSTEMS AND ARCHITECTURES: middleware, databases and system
    architectures for information storing and dissemination in urban
    environments
  * User-centered analytic tools and interactive visualizations of urban
    City and its information in a user friendly form


Note that we plan for accepted manuscripts to be included in the ACM 
Digital Library and supplemental proceedings of the main conference. All 
workshop papers must be up to 4 pages long in the SIGCHI archival 
format, and be ready for inclusion into ACM digital library and the 
supplementary proceedings by June 19th, 2013.

Further, after the workshop the organizers will compose a journal 
article of the most prominent contributions of the accepted submissions 
to report on the state of the art of public human interfaces for civic 
purposes in smart cities.

** Submissions **
The workshop papers must be in the SIGCHI archival format, up to 4 
pages. You do not need to anonymize the submissions. All submissions 
should be emailed in .PDF format to [log in to unmask] with the subject 
line "HiCUE workshop submission". The papers will be peer-reviewed 
accordingly for their significance to the overall workshop themes by the 
technical program committee of the workshop.

** Proceedings **
If the authors choose so, accepted workshop papers will be added to the 
ACM Digital Library. However, the workshop participants can also choose 
to keep the copyrights of the publications and therefore their accepted 
paper will not be added to the ACM Digital Library. This means that you 
are allowed to fully reuse the publication contents in other future 
work. Furthermore, a journal article combining the most interesting 
contributions from the accepted workshop papers will be submitted to a 
future international journal issue.

** Important dates (in GMT+1) **
Deadline for submissions: May 24th, 2013
Response to authors: June 10th, 2013
Camera-ready workshop papers deadline: June 19th, 2013
HiCU Workshop: Sep 8, 2013
