HCOMP 2014: CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite you to join us for the Second AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP-2014), to be held November 2-4, 2014 in Pittsburgh PA, USA. http://www.humancomputation.com/2014/ Submission deadline for Papers: April 1, 2014 The HCOMP conference is aimed at promoting the scientific exchange of advances in human computation and crowdsourcing among researchers, engineers, and practitioners across a spectrum of disciplines who may otherwise not have the opportunity to hear from one another. The conference was created by researchers from diverse fields to serve as a focal point and scholarly venue for the review and presentation of the highest quality work on principles, studies, and applications of human computation and crowdsourcing. HCOMP 2014 builds on a series of four successful earlier workshops (2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012) and the first AAAI HCOMP conference held in 2013. The HCOMP conference is cross-disciplinary, and we invite submissions across the broad spectrum of crowdsourcing and human computation work. Human computation and crowdsourcing is unique in its direct engagement and reliance on both human-centered studies and traditional computer science. HCOMP invites submissions on human computation and crowdsourcing in multiple fields, including Human-centered fields, such as: human-computer interaction cognitive psychology economics management science social computing Technical fields, such as: databases systems information retrieval optimization vision speech robotics machine learning planning HCOMP also invites submissions on principles, studies, and applications of systems that rely on programmatic access to human intellect to perform some aspect of computation, or where human perception, knowledge, reasoning, or physical activity and coordination contributes to the operation of larger computational systems, applications, and services. The conference will include presentations of new research, works-in-progress and demo sessions, and invited talks. A day of workshops and tutorials will precede the main conference. All full papers will be published as AAAI archival proceedings in the AAAI digital library. The paper track will not accept work recently published or soon to be published in another conference or journal. However, to encourage exchange of ideas, such work can be submitted to the non-archival work-in-progress and demo track. We hope you'll submit your best work to HCOMP and look forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh. Jeffrey P. Bigham (CMU) and David C.
