Short papers / posters

Short papers and posters may address any of the areas identified in the conference topics. Submissions should report original work that has not been published previously. Authors are encouraged to demonstrate work in progress and late-breaking research results that show the latest innovative ideas. We invite presentation of ongoing work and preliminary results, by experienced academics as well as young researchers.

Short 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.

Short papers are presented in one of two ways 1) plenary session for 10 minutes, 2) poster in a dedicated poster session. NordiCHI 2006's emphasis on direct interaction and networking makes a poster presentation attractive for certain short submissions, such as design cases, organizational overviews, and late breaking work-in-progress. The short paper committee decides on the plenary / poster distribution presentation ratio for the accepted short papers.

Submissions must be complete. Short papers may be up to 4 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 short papers and posters to shortpapers@nordichi.org.

Electronic submission deadline for short papers: July 10, 2006 (extended).
