/ SUBMISSION 

We welcome submissions at various stages of completion, prioritizing discussion and exchange of ideas over presenting polished results. We welcome both technical and non-technical contributions and are open to research-oriented submissions as well as submissions of resources such as annotated datasets, questionnaires and novel data collections. Papers must describe original (completed or in progress) and unpublished work.

Length of papers:

  • full papers (6 – 10 pages, including references, appendices, etc.),
  • short papers (up to 5 pages including references, appendices, etc.),
  • extended abstracts for posters and demos (up to 2 pages including references, appendices, etc.). 

Types of papers: research papers, resource papers, position papers, posters, and demos

Submission of all papers is electronic, using the EasyChair conference management system. All papers should adopt the current ACM SIG Conference proceedings template (acmart.cls). Please submit papers as PDF files using the ACM template, either in Microsoft Word format (available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template under “Word Authors”) or with the ACM LaTeX template on the Overleaf platform which is available https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/association-for-computing-machinery-acm-sig-proceedings-template/bmvfhcdnxfty. In particular, please ensure that you are using the two-column version of the appropriate template.

Papers must be anonymized to support double-blind reviewing, i.e., they must not include authors’ names and affiliations. Please also avoid links to non-anonymized repositories.

Please submit your contributions electronically in PDF format via the EasyChair conference submission system.

For any enquiries, please send an email to the workshop organizers.
