Design Cases: Instructions for Authors
Deadline for submission of design cases is July 16, 2010

Notification of acceptance will be sent out on August 27

Create and submit a Design Case. This is a presentation of 6 pages, A4 size, full color, as rich as the medium allows. There are two formatting options:

A. Free format.
You can design your own presentation to communicate the ideas of your work as clearly as possible. In this option, there are a few required elements on the first page (names of authors, affiliations, contact information, 200 word abstract), and the remaining pages are free-form within the constraints of portrait orientation and a 180x235 mm printing area.

B. Full paper
You can format your Design Case submission as a Full Paper but limited to 6 pages.

The following criteria will be used in judging your submission:
  • Innovation: Does the presented work contribute new knowledge to the community?
  • Instrumental quality: Is the presented work useful, relevant and efficient for its users? Does it reflect inclusiveness? Does it support human communication?
  • Aesthetic quality: Does the presented work contribute to the community’s sense of appropriate aesthetic expression in the digital materials?
  • Ethical quality: Is the presented work beneficial (or at least defensible) from an ideological, societal or moral standpoint? Does it add to our understanding of how to form a sustainable society?
  • Groundedness: Are the key design decisions clearly indicated? Are the grounds for those decisions clearly accounted for?
  • Impact: Has the presented work had any significant effects in actual use in the world?

Submit the Design Case as a PDF file to the electronic conference system. See Submission Details for information on how to submit.

Review process

When your submission has been reviewed, you will be notified of our accept/reject decision. Acceptance can be either as-is or accepted with revisions in accordance with the reviewers’ comments. Please deal with the reviewers' comments seriously when revising your submission. The organizers retain the right not to publish your submission if the comments are not taken into account sufficiently in revising your submission. In case of problems please contact the organizers. 

In the conference proceedings, the final version of your contribution will appear as a citable reference under your name. The printed proceedings will have your contribution in black and white, whereas the PDF file in the ACM Digital Library will be in color.

Presentation

At the conference, the Design Cases sessions will consist of presentations by authors. Each contribution will get 20 minutes of presentation (including discussion). When you prepare your presentation, concentrate on aspects that you could not capture adequately in your paper submission. This could mean, for example, that you build your presentation around a demonstration of a key interactive feature of your work.
