This year we are planning to publish a companion

companion proceedings will be published by ACM Digital
Library (non-archival form) and will be searchable in the
ACM Digital Library. The accepted workshops’ organizers
will tell the workshop chairs whether they would like
their workshops’ accepted papers to be part of the
companion proceedings. In the case, if the workshop’s
organizers decide to go for the companion proceedings,
they have to work according to these guidelines:
* Manage a PC and reviewing system for the submitted paper
* It is up to organizers to decide which submission system
(e.g., easychair) they like to use for the submissions
* Our recommendation date for workshop paper submission is
September 30 (However, organizers can make an earlier
deadline as per their convenience) and notification date
is October 07 (hard deadline!). We will provide workshop
organizers a special code for early bid registration that
they will give in the accepted notification to authors.
* The workshop organizers will provide the meta-data of
all the accepted papers to workshop chairs on October 07
(hard deadline!).
* The page limit for workshop papers is up to 7 pages
including references using the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts
publication format
(http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-extended-abstracts-word-template/view).
