Types of submissions:
Tutorials (1,5 h.)
Tutorials should offer participants more insight in a specific topic, be it introductory or specialized. Tutorials can be lecture style as well as hands-on, or a combination of both. At the end of the tutorial, participants should have learned something they can use when they return to work.
Workshops (1,5 h.)
Workshops should allow participants to share their experiences in a specific domain. Participants should be already somewhat familiar with the domain, and the organizers should arrange the workshop in a way that each participant can present their view on the topic, and there is room for discussion. (note: workshops are not the same as hands-on tutorials)
Case studies (20 min.)
Case studies should present examples of how certain UCD techniques, methods or approaches were applied to a specific case. The case study should clearly present the original briefing or problem that had to be addressed, the approach or methods used to address this, as well as the results. Novelty of the methods is not a selection criterion, the focus should rather be on lessons learned.
Industry research (20 min.)
Industry research should present original research in an industry context. Topics can include novel methods, new interaction technologies, innovative interface concepts, results from user studies, etc. Submissions will be reviewed based on originality and how it fits within industry.
Academic research (20 min.)
Academic research should present original research from universities or research centers. Similar to industry research, topics can include novel methods, new interaction technologies, innovative interface concepts, results from user studies, etc. Submissions will be reviewed based on originality and soundness of the scientific research.
