HCOMP Call for Works-in-Progress and Demonstrations Deadline - July 25, 2014 The Second AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP 2014) will be held on November 2-4, 2014 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. The meeting will include presentations of new research, works-in-progress (poster) and demo sessions, invited talks, workshops and tutorials, and a two-day CrowdCamp. See http://www.humancomputation.com/2014/ for more information. Works-in-progress and demonstrations submissions to HCOMP are due on July 25, 2014 at 5pm Pacific time. Submissions are limited to two pages in AAAI format, plus auxiliary information. See http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php for formatting information. ============== Works-in-progress ============== We encourage practitioners and researchers to submit Works-in-Progress as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. Accepted submissions will be presented as a poster at the conference and made available to the community as a two-page poster abstract. A Work-in-Progress is a concise report of recent findings or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work relevant to the HCOMP community. The difference between Works-in-Progress and other contribution types is that Work-in-Progress submissions represents work that has not reached a level of completion that would warrant the full Refereed selection process. That said, appropriate submissions should make some contribution to the body of HCOMP knowledge, whether realized or promised. A significant benefit of a Work-in-Progress derives from the discussion between the author and conference attendees that will be fostered by the face-to-face presentation of the work. ===== Demo ===== A demo is a high-visibility, high-impact forum of the HCOMP program that allows you to present your hands-on demonstration, share novel interactive technologies, and stage interactive experiences. We encourage submissions from any area of human computation and crowdsourcing. Demo promotes and provokes discussion of the role of technology, and invites contributions from industry, research, the arts and design. The Demo track showcases this year's most exciting crowd and human computation prototypes and systems. If you have an interesting prototype, system, exhibit or installation, we want to know about it. Sharing hands-on experiences of your work is often the best way to communicate what you have created. We look forward to seeing your submissions, and to see you at HCOMP in November!
