Call for papers (long papers)

NordiCHI 2006 invites original, innovative and exploratory papers meeting the highest international standards. We welcome papers attempting to move the field of HCI forward, promoting new techniques, methods, tools and theories. NordiCHI aims to be a multidisciplinary forum for exchange of the latest results, coming from and combining the social, the technical, and the aesthetic.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and CD, and will also through cooperation with ACM be available in full-text in ACM's Digital Library. (See: www.acm.org/dl for papers from previous NordiCHIs)

Full papers must report original work, which has not been previously published. The contribution should be made clear in the paper and in its abstract. Papers making one clear, significant contribution are more likely to be accepted than papers making several lesser contributions. The paper must identify and cite published work relevant to the paper topic. It should explain how the presented work has built on previous contributions, and should indicate where and why novel approaches have been adopted.

Empirical studies of work should stress their relevance to design. Papers should stress their contribution to concepts and theories in HCI. Papers addressing novel techniques and technologies should clearly identify the relevance and importance to HCI.

NordiCHI 2006 is an international conference and contributions are welcomed from all parts of the world. However, the official written and spoken language of the conference is English.

Submissions must be complete. Papers may be up to 10 pages formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI Publications Format. Submission should be made electronically in PDF format through the conference paper submission and reviewing system. See here for publication format templates and submission details. Please direct questions regarding long papers to papers@nordichi.org.

Electronic submission deadline for papers: April 10, 2006 (extended)
