Industry Papers

Industry papers provide the opportunity to describe industry initiatives or new developments that could benefit from discussion with members of the HCI community. They may include experiences of reflective practitioners, preliminary work, work in progress and first drafts of novel concepts and approaches. Industry papers will follow the same review process as short papers, except reviewers will be invited from members of the HCI community with an industry background. We particularly encourage demonstrations (such as prototypes and videos) to be presented.

This year we accept two types of submissions: papers and abstracts in order to offer more flexible pathways for industry members to contribute and attend OzCHI 2018. Both types will present at the conference in the Industry Track (Wednesday) with the same amount of time allocated. The difference is whether the accepted contribution will be published in the conference proceedings (short papers only).

We invite original contributions on industry case studies related to Human-Computer Interaction, User Experience, Human Factors, Interaction Design. We also invite contributions in this category that concern process, methods or the state of the professional discipline.

Submissions should include information on:

• What was the goal of the project
• Who were the main stakeholders (domain of industry and/or community partners, user groups and other stakeholders)
• Key information of the project such as length, context, challenges, methods used
• What was the outcome of the project
• Conclusions and take home message

Submission Format
Industry papers should be anonymised and be a maximum of 4 pages (excluding references).They must follow the ACM conference proceedings template. The ACM template website provides an archive of the full catalogue of ACM templates.

Please follow these steps for creating your document in Word:

1. Download and open the zipfile from: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
2. Install all fonts included in the ZIP file
3. Open ACM_SIGCHI.docx
4. Remove the following contents: Page number, Headers & Footers, and the subtitle ‘Extended Abstract’
5. Add CCS Concepts: https://dl.acm.org/ccs/ccs_flat.cfm
6. When you have drafted your paper and are ready to submit, please convert it to PDF. Initial submissions should be in PDF format. With the final submission authors will be required to upload both the Word and PDF files.

LaTeX users:
There is no template for LaTeX. LaTeX users are responsible for formatting their PDF document following the OzCHI Word template. Unfortunately we are unable to provide support for this.

Submission System
Submissions can be made via the Easychair Submission System. The submission link is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ozchi2018.

Selection Process
All papers will undergo a double blind review process by an international panel. Reviewers will be able to bid for papers. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of their significance, originality, and clarity of writing. Acceptance decisions will be made by the chairs based on the panel's recommendations.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register to OzCHI and present the paper at the conference.

Accepted papers will be available in the USB proceedings and will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series available from the ACM Digital Library.

This category offers opportunities for latest developments to be included and discussed at OzCHI 2018. We invite original contributions on industry case studies related to Human-Computer Interaction, User Experience, Human Factors, Interaction Design. We also invite contributions in this category that concern process, methods or the state of the professional discipline. We particularly encourage demonstrations (such as prototypes and videos) to be presented.
