Accepted Symposia
Two-day symposium: Saturday & Sunday
Location: 303
Abstract: At CHI 2016, the Development Consortium titled HCI Across Borders (HCIxB) was widely attended by 71 participants from 20 countries and six continents. The goal of this workshop was to build community and invite collaborations “across borders” on themes of interest for the participants – researchers actively involved in international HCI research, with many of them working in parts of the ‘developing’ world. In 2017, our goal is to extend these conversations to fuel community building beyond the workshop. The question we ask, therefore, is how we might align our efforts to reach potential members of our larger HCI community, even those who do not or are unable to attend CHI, to work towards a more cohesive global community. Further, we ask, what might the format of these efforts be? We invite proposals along these lines with the intention of bringing people together to discuss and workshop ideas for research directions, venues, activities, and events that would be natural extensions of HCIxB 2016 as well as HCIxB 2017, that we propose herein.
One-day symposium: Saturday
2nd Symposia on Computing and Mental Health
Location: 501/502
Abstract: The World Health Organization predicts that by the year 2030, depression and other mental illnesses will be the leading disease burden globally. The rapid penetration and advancement of mobile phones and technology have given rise to unprecedented opportunities for close collaboration between computation researchers and mental health practitioners. The intersection between wearable computing, design of naturalistic observation experiments and statistical causal inference offers promising avenues for developing technologies to help those in mental distress; yet human factors inquiry and design are often the missing ingredients in this powerful mix. This second inter-disciplinary workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers in mental health, computation and causal inference to come together under the much needed auspices of human-centric design, towards the development and deployment of new technologies mental health technologies and interventions.
One-day symposia: Sunday
Asian CHI symposium: Emerging HCI Research Collection
Location: 302
Abstract: This symposium showcases the latest work from Japan and Southeast Asia on interactive systems and user interfaces that address under-explored problems and demonstrate unique approaches. In addition to circulating ideas and sharing a vision of future research in human-computer interaction, this symposium aims to foster social networks among young researchers and students and create a fresh research community.
2nd Career Development Symposium for Recent PHDs
Location: 304
Abstract: The goal of the Career Development Symposium is to provide a supportive environment for recent PHDs (under 5 years) to discuss issues related to career development, including defining a research trajectory, identifying funding sources, getting involved in professional service within SIGCHI and elsewhere, communicating their work and strengthening their public profile, and balancing work, family and social life. A selected group of recent PHDs will interact with senior researchers from academia and/or industry. Each recent PHD will be provided with a 20+ minute slot to discuss his/her career and career development with the other attendees. There will also be a series of panels in which senior HCI researchers discuss research development, getting involved in professional service, and work/life balance.
Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH)
Location: 501/502
Abstract: The Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH) brings together industry and academic researchers in human-computer interaction, biomedical informatics, and other disciplines to develop a cross-disciplinary research agenda that will drive future innovations. In addition, the workshop facilitates a common, safe space to share and discuss methods, study designs, and dissemination within each community. Finally, the workshop has actively provided mentoring opportunities to junior and new health informatics researchers – from undergraduates to mid-career researchers who want to change their focus. This will be the sixth WISH in the series of successful workshops that has brought together different research communities around challenges of designing, implementing, and evaluating interactive health technologies.

Message from the Workshops Chairs
We invite you to participate in the CHI 2017 Workshops. Workshops are a gathering place for attendees with shared interests to meet in the context of a focused and interactive discussion. They are an opportunity to move a field forward and build community. CHI workshops might address basic research, applied research, HCI practice, HCI education, new methodologies, emerging application areas, or design innovations. Each workshop should generate ideas that will give the HCI community a new, organized way of thinking about the topic or that suggest promising directions for future work. If you are working in an emerging area in HCI, please consider organizing a workshop.

CHI 2017 Symposia
Some weekend meetings will fall under a new type of interaction called Symposia. These meetings are invited to participate by the conference chairs, and this is not a venue for open submission. If you are a meeting that falls under the Symposia umbrella, the way to submit your materials, which should match the Workshop format, is to email your materials to the Symposia chair. If you have questions about whether your meeting is being considered as a Symposium, email the chair at the address below.
Symposia are intended for larger meetings that are persistent features of the CHI conference. Meetings invited to be Symposia this year are CABS, WISH, HCI in Mental Health, The Early Career Development Consortium, Asian CHI, and HCI in Developing Regions. If you are interested in being considered for a Symposium slot in the future, email Cliff Lampe (cacl@umich.edu)

Highlights for CHI 2017 Workshops
Please note the following changes to the workshop submission and review process:
What is a CHI Workshop?
Workshops are held the weekend before the start of the conference, on Saturday and Sunday, 6-7 May 2017. A workshop may be one or two days in length. They are scheduled for six working hours per day, with a mid-morning break, a lunch break, and a mid-afternoon break. A typical workshop will have 15 to 25 participants, with a minimum of 10 participants.
Workshops are intended to foster discussion and exchange ideas. Because focused interaction among participants is important, participants should have informed positions based on prior experience, as expressed in their position papers. Workshops should not be miniature paper presentation sessions, but focus on community building and communal knowledge creation. Please note that CHI workshops are not classes in which instructors teach content (see CHI Courses for further guidance).
There are two groups of people involved in a workshop: the organizers and the participants. Organizers are responsible for the workshop’s topic, logistics, and final outcome. Participants are responsible for the content and discussion. The following is an outline of the submission and organization process.
Upon acceptance, the workshop organizers are required to create a website with workshop specific information. They should include the future website URL in the submission. The workshop organizers may decide to cap the number of attendees for the workshop.
Previous Successful Workshops at CHI
Some workshops have resulted in edited books or special issues of journals; you may consider including this goal in the design of your workshop. Others have created communities that spawned new, more specialized conferences.
Some example workshops from previous years include:
Preparing and Submitting your Workshop Package
A workshop submission must be prepared according to the Conference Extended Abstracts Format. It must be submitted via the PCS Submission System by 12 October 2016, 20:00 EDT, as a single PDF file. The proposal must be no more than 8 pages (including references) and have the following structure:
This Extended Abstract is the only document from the workshop which will be included in the CHI conference proceedings.
For each submission, one of the workshop organizers (i.e., an author of the submission, and usually the contact author) must be nominated to act as a reviewer for other workshop submissions. Each nominated reviewer will be expected to review approximately two proposals.
Workshop Selection Process
Workshops are a juried track and highly selective. In prior years, approximately 50% of workshop proposals were accepted. Workshop proposals will be selected by the workshop chairs. Acceptance decisions will be based on an assessment of how compelling the workshop is likely to be for CHI attendees. While not considered archival, juried content will be represented in the ACM Digital Library. The workshop chairs and the committee of reviewers will consider several factors during the selection process, including:
Submissions should not contain sensitive, private, or proprietary information that cannot be disclosed at publication time. Submissions should NOT be anonymous. However, confidentiality of submissions will be maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until the start of the conference, with the exception of title and author information which will be published on the website prior to the conference.
Workshop Program Committee
The Workshops Program Committee is made up of senior CHI researchers who will help the Workshop Chairs select exciting workshops that will move the field forward and build new communities.
Upon Acceptance of your CHI Workshop
Please note the following milestones which must be met for all CHI Workshops:
Before the Conference
In addition, workshop organizers will be responsible for the following tasks during the time leading up to the conference:
At the Conference
The workshop organizers are expected to facilitate discussion, help maintain productive interaction, and encourage participation. The emphasis should be on group discussion, rather than on presentation of individual position papers. Diversity of perspectives should be encouraged.
After the Conference
Accepted Workshop summaries will be distributed in the CHI Extended Abstracts, available in the ACM Digital Library.
It is expected that workshop results will be communicated to a larger audience. We ask workshop organizers to consider producing a report for publication in ACM Interactions. We encourage additional avenues of communication, such as organizing an informal Special Interest Group (SIG) at the conference, preparing an edited book or special issues of journals following the conference, or maintaining a website or email list to network with others who might be interested.
Workshop Registration Fees for Organizers
Workshop organizers receive complimentary workshop registrations as follows:
All other organizers and participants who attend a workshop must pay the workshop registration fee.
In addition to the workshop fees, all workshop attendees (including organizers whose workshop fee has been waived) are required to register for at least one day of the CHI conference.
