*****************************************************************
Interaction between Nearby Strangers: Serendipity and Playfulness

Workshop at NordiCHI’16, October 23rd, Gothenburg, Sweden
Deadline for position papers: August 15th
*****************************************************************

This workshop focuses on exploring the future of technology-supported interaction between nearby strangers, identifying the research and design opportunities and problems therein. We welcome researchers and practitioners with various backgrounds and viewpoints to the topic. The workshop will include short presentations and structured brainstorming of visionary scenarios for interactions between nearby strangers, as well as identifying a research agenda for this emerging field of research.

Submissions:

The topics include, but are not limited to:
•           increasing awareness of nearby social opportunities
•           bringing people together for matchmaking, activity partnering and dating
•           enabling playful interactions and social gaming with nearby people
•           encouraging serendipitous and ad hoc interactions and small talk
•           researching current practices and norms of interaction between strangers
•           gamification and other motivators for interaction
•           designing for social experiences between strangers
•           social embarrassment and awkwardness in interaction with strangers
•           privacy considerations and self-disclosure
•           establishing new social norms in public spaces
•           technology enablers

Participants are required to submit a 2-4 page position paper in the SIGCHI EA-format format. The position paper should describe why one is particularly interested in this area (in terms of research, ideas, existing solutions or upcoming activities) and what design or research challenges one sees. The submission must be in PDF format and should not be blinded. We will select papers based on relevance, quality, and diversity. We will limit the size of the workshop to 20 people to ensure effective participation. The results of the workshop will be summarized and published on the workshop’s website.
