==========================
Submission Categories PDC14
*PDC'14 invites submissions in the following categories:*
*Research papers:* (full papers - maximum 10 pages). Research papers
should report on original research which advances Participatory Design
and reflect on state of the art themes in our field. As a single track
conference, and the only one exclusively dedicated to PD, PDC Research
papers have a broad impact on the development of PD theory, approaches
and practices. Research papers will be published in the ACM
International Conference series. Each submitted paper will be double
blind reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. Each submission will be managed
by a Meta-Reviewer to ensure that feedback is relevant, the learning
experience significant and the process fair. Please make sure your
submission is correctly anonymized. Accepted papers should be revised
according to the review reports and the language should be checked by a
native English speaker.
*Submission deadline: 28. February 2014, 12.00 GMT

*
*Short papers:* (short papers -- maximum 4 pages). Short papers should
present original, unpublished ideas and research that advances the field
of Participatory Design and reflect on its potential future
developments. As discussed in parallel, thematic sessions, PDC Short
Papers can benefit from a clear scope and are expected to contribute to
the emergence of new possibilities for PD. Compared to Research Papers,
Short Papers may offer a more limited discussion of related work, or
they may, for example, provide a novel design, method or theoretical
concepts, without a full evaluation or with less detailed explanation.
Short Papers are reviewed to the same standard of scientific quality as
Research Papers, but the contribution is more focused and clear-cut.
Each submitted short paper will be double blind reviewed by at least 3
reviewers. Please make sure submissions are anonymous. Accepted papers
should be revised according to the review reports and the language
should be checked by a native English speaker.
*Submission deadline: 10. March 2014, 12.00 GMT*
*Interactive Workshops:* (maximum 2 pages) The workshop proposal should
describe half day or full day sessions on topics that include methods,
practices, and other areas of interest related to Participatory Design.
They should support an interactive format wherein active participation
is possible, beyond a presentation format. These formats could include a
mapping of a problem definition, small discussion groups, etc. The
proposal must be written in a format that can be used for recruitment
via the web. It should justify the need for the workshop and should
contain a title, goals, format, method or technique, its relevance to
Participatory Design and a schedule. Intended participants and how they
will be recruited should also be described. In the recruitment procedure
important dates should be clearly communicated to the participants (see
timing). Also, it should be clear to the organizers and the participants
what the maximum amount of participants is for the workshop and what the
workshop duration is (half day or full day). Finally, the workshop
proposal should include a clear statement about the expected outcomes of
the workshop (e.g. journal publication, research proposal, exhibition,
etc.).
*Submission deadline: 10. March 2014, 12.00 GMT*
*Tutorials:* (2 page proposal) Half day and full day sessions for
teaching conceptual frameworks, methods/techniques, and novel approaches
in Participatory Design. The proposal should contain a title, goals,
method or technique, relevance to Participatory Design and a schedule.
Please describe in the proposal any handouts that you intend to make
available.
*Submission deadline: 10. March 2014, 12.00 GMT*
*Industry Cases:* (2-4 page case description) should report on the use
of participatory methods, tools, and/or practices within commercial,
non-profit, or governmental organizations. We are interested in a broad
range of submissions that explore what a participatory approach means to
different practitioners and audiences and may include ideas, approaches,
projects, experimentations or reflections on participation. We encourage
submissions from practitioners who might not ordinarily attend the
Participatory Design (PD) conference but who are grappling with the
complexities of participation or who are experimenting with novel
approaches. Cases should highlight the benefits, challenges, and
outcomes from the application of participatory approaches and should
provide concrete lessons for others who are interested in applying PD in
their organizations. Each submitted case will be reviewed by peer
reviewers for applicability to the Participatory Design community.
*Submission deadline: 10. March 2014, 12.00 GMT*
*Doctoral consortium:* (4 page proposal) The doctoral consortium is a
full-day session intended for PhD students working within the field of
Participatory Design. It will provide students with an opportunity to
discuss issues of concern to them in their studies and receive extensive
feedback from the session co-chairs and other student participants.
Enrolment is limited and selection will be based on the quality of
application submissions, taking into account how the research is related
to Participatory Design. The aim will be to include a spread of students
with different disciplinary emphases, at different stages of study, and
coming from different cultural backgrounds. The proposal should give an
overview of the PhD project, including research motivations, questions,
methods, status of current work, major findings and plans for further
research. Accepted applicants will be asked to provide a revised and
elaborated research summary (4 pages), and to participate in some
pre-workshop on-line discussions.
*Submission deadline: 10. March 2014, 12.00 GMT*
*Art installations:* (2 page proposal) Interdisciplinary collaborations
have often yielded surprising yet astonishing results, leading both
research and knowledge to new heights. PDC has a long history of
incorporating participatory art installations to inspire and innovate.
Artists and designers working with any form of interactive participatory
methods are invited to submit their projects. The works can take
inspiration from visual and digital media, performance arts,
installations, communication technologies, touch, sound and any other
genres that allow participants to take part or become part of the art
piece. Projects should address/explore the theme 'reflecting
connectedness'. Please submit a 2 page proposal of the art work, in
which the project is described (incl. sketch/design), the relation to
PD, and specific requirements for display. Alternatively artists can
submit audio or video files describing the project.
*Submission deadline: 10. March 2014, 12.00 GMT*
*The Artful Integrators' Award:* We welcome nominations for the sixth
Artful Integrators' Award, to be presented at PDC 14 in Namibia. The
Award is intended to recognize outstanding achievement in the area of
participatory design of information and communications technologies.
Where traditional design awards have gone to individual designers and/or
singular objects, the Artful Integrator's Award emphasizes the
importance of collaborative participation in design, and a view of good
design as the effective alignment of diverse collections of people,
practices and artefacts.
*Submission and formatting guidelines*
The submissions in all categories are subject to double-blind peer
review. For previous PDC conferences, the acceptance rate for research
papers has been about 25% and for the other submission categories about 50%.
All submissions should follow the *PDC paper template*
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XeV7wvTJXii6Om_MDTNWEbtjd7vioyOYYZ7J4G3cuJQ/edit?usp=sharing>.
The PDC 2014 proceedings will be published as part of the International
Conference Proceedings Series published by ACM and available online from
the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers will need to
complete the ACM copyright form as a condition of inclusion in the
proceedings.
Only PDF files (.pdf) may be submitted and submissions are only accepted
through the PDC conference management system.
