======== Call for Participation ========
Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare
April 11, 2010, Atlanta Georgia USA
Co-located with the annual CHI conference
================================
Authors may present their work in one of two formats: Short Talks or
Interactive Posters. Short Talks are brief oral presentations by the
author, while interactive posters focus more on visual presentation
and discussion between the author and attendees around the poster. We
expect the majority of presentations to be interactive posters with a
limited subset of people invited to give short talks. If you do not
want to be considered for the short talk track, preferring only the
poster presentation format, please make this known to the chairs. See
also the WISH website: http://www.chi2010.org/wish
***Submissions***
Both short talk and posters should submit a four page paper in the ACM
extended abstracts format. Submissions may also be shorter in length
as is appropriate for content and your community. Accepted
submissions are published in the WISH 2010 proceedings but not the ACM
digital library. Authors retain all copyright. We encourage
preliminary ideas, design sketches, experimental results, policy and
theoretical contributions, works in progress, and any other health and
interactive systems related content. The goal is to foster
discussion, encourage broad ideas, and bring together a wide
interdisciplinary audience. Thus, we encourage people to submit from
a wide variety of disciplines. Also, we encourage people in
attendance at the Wellness, Aging, and other related workshops on
April 10 to also submit to and attend WISH. A submission should include:
• A concise description of the idea(s)
• Results, findings, or theoretical discussion
• The implications of the work to the interdisciplinary community who
may be present
• Recommendations for further investigation
Full literature searches are not expected, although relevant citations
should be included.
The paper and abstract, as submitted for review, will be regarded as
the final publication-ready version of your submission. Therefore, the
abstract and paper submission must be clearly written, carefully
proofread, and correctly formatted.
***How to Submit***
Upload your submission in PDF format to the WISH Electronic Submission
Web site at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WISH2010/ by 5:00pm PST
6 January 2010. Follow the instructions for the file upload and enter
the requested information, including author information, keywords, and
abstract. Note that the process of producing a PDF file of your
submission can sometimes cause changes in the length of the
contributions. Authors are advised to generate and check PDFs of their
submissions to verify that their final submission stays within the
length restrictions of the WISH submission process.
*** Mentoring Program***
We are pleased to offer a mentoring program to pair students, post-
doctoral researchers, and people relatively new to health+HCI research
(e.g., clinicians, junior faculty, people switching fields) with
senior members of the field. This mentoring program will include a
joint dinner with these individuals and some time for 1:1 meetings.
We also hope to be able to offer fellowships to attend WISH and CHI
corresponding with this program. The size of each grant will be
decided on a per-case basis and can be applied to registration,
travel, and lodging. Preference will be given to people who: (a) have
demonstrated need; (b) have not recently attended CHI and who might
not otherwise attend the conference; (c) have work accepted to the
workshop; (d) are at a stage in their careers that they would benefit
from mentorship.
