SUBMISSIONS

There are four categories of submissions:

• Papers & Short Papers
  
• Posters
• Panels
• Courses
  

Papers and Short Papers

Paper Deadline Extended: Abstracts must be submitted by July 3, but papers may be submitted until July 10.

ACM CHIMIT 2009 will include paper sessions to allow researchers and practitioners report their research on cognitive, social, and technical issues in IT management. A sample of topics can be found in the Call for Papers -- Topics. Papers should present original and unpublished results. Accepted papers and short papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings and ACM Digital Library.

The acceptance criteria will be the same for both long and short papers, though short papers will have less time at the symposium to present.  On the whole, short papers are intended for those ideas that do not require ten pages to adequately describe.

Authors are strongly encouraged to address the intersection between Computer Human Interaction and Management of IT explicitly.

Preparation Guidelines

Please consider the following guidelines for a successful paper submission:

• Authors should strive for maximum clarity throughout the paper.
• State the contribution and originality of your work explicitly
• State the problem and solution clearly stating differences from prior work.
• Discuss approach and solution in detail allowing readers to replicate work and build on future research.
• Describe relevant prior research in sufficient detail.
• When applicable, authors are encouraged to use figures.

Papers must be in standard ACM two-column format and cannot exceed 10 pages in total length, including the abstract, figures and references, and must be formatted according to the detailed ACM SIG publication instructions (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).

Short papers must be in standard ACM two-column format and cannot exceed 4 pages in total length, including the abstract, figures and references, and must be formatted according to the detailed ACM SIG publication instructions (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).

Submission

Paper submissions should be made at the symposium submission site, abstracts must be submitted no later than 5:00pm Pacific Time on July 3, 2009, but the accompanying papers may be submitted up to one week later. Only PDF versions of papers are accepted. Submissions received after this date/time will not be considered.

Authors will be notified on August 28, 2009.

All submissions are considered confidential during the review process. Papers submitted but not included in the techinical program will be kept confidential in perpetuity. Accepted papers will be kept confidential until the symposium dates. Paper's title, authors, and abstract however will be published in the advanced program before the symposium. Submissions should contain absolutely no information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication.

All questions regarding papers should be directed to Program Chairs.

Posters

ACM CHIMIT 2009 will include a poster session for sharing preliminary results not yet ready for a  paper. Accepted posters will be presented in a special Poster Session, allowing authors to interactively discuss their work one to one with participants. Posters will have a later submission deadline, are not archival, and will not be included in the ACM digital library, so this forum is ideal for work in progress.

We also welcome authors of recent (2007 - 2009) papers on the topic of HCI and IT Management published in other venues to present your work at the CHIMIT poster session.  For these cases, please submit the title and abstract of your published paper, full citation, and a link to the published version.

Authors are strongly encouraged to address the intersection between Computer Human Interaction and Management of IT explicitly.

Preparation Guidelines

Please consider the following guidelines for a successful poster submission:

• State the contribution and originality of your work clearly and explicitly
• State the problem and solution clearly.
• Focus on the contribution of your work, with only a brief background on relevant work.
• Include the major graphical elements that will likely be used in the poster itself.

Poster abstracts must be in standard ACM two-column format and cannot exceed 3 pages in total length, including the abstract, figures and references, and must be formatted according to the detailed ACM SIG publication instructions (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).  Alternately, the poster may be submitted as an actual poster in PDF format.

Submission

Poster submissions should be emailed to the Program Chairs no later than 5:00pm Pacific Time on September 11, 2009. Only PDF versions of the abstracts are accepted. Submissions received after this date/time will not be considered.

Authors will be notified on September 25, 2009.  A PDF version of the poster itself must be submitted two weeks before the conference for inclusion in the Symposium Proceedings.

All questions regarding papers should be directed to Program Chairs.

Panels

Do you have an idea for a panel discussion of important ideas in HCI and IT Management that could enlighten the community?  We are soliciting proposals for panels at the CHIMIT 2009 Symposium.  Accepted panels will be part of the Symposium program, with the panel abstract published in the Symposium Proceedings CD and ACM Digital Library.

Preparation Guidelines

Please consider the following guidelines for a successful panel submission:

Authors will be notified on August 28, 2009.

Courses

For the first time, CHIMIT 2009 is soliciting proposals for courses of interest to the HCI and IT Management community. Do you have expertise in some area of IT or research methods that Symposium attendees would benefit from learning about? Courses will be offered as an optional part of the Symposium program.

Preparation Guidelines

Please consider the following guidelines for a successful course submission:

• State the course topic and it's relevance to HCI and IT Management clearly and explicitly.
• Describe the instructor(s) of the course, their expertise, and a general outline of the topics covered.

• Presentation: List the various presentation forms used in the Course, for example, lectures, demonstration, exercises, videos, group discussions, and/or case studies.
