Basic Research Symposium

Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14

A two day Basic Research Symposium will be held on the Saturday and Sunday preceding the main conference. The goal of the Symposium is to provide an interactive forum to promote and enhance scientific discussions of developing research issues.

The Symposium will provide both an opportunity for feedback on one's research ideas, as well as a chance to learn about the variety of perspectives present in the international research community. The Symposium is designed to stress research and interaction among the attendees and to promote understanding, asking of questions and dialogue between fellow researchers as well as reflection on methods and results.

Contributions are invited from any active area of HCI research. The Symposium attains its vibrancy from the wide range of disciplines represented and the critical but informal interchanges between them.

Invitation to the Symposium will be based on a two page position paper. Submissions should represent the participants' current work. Accepted participants will be charged a special registration fee of $100 in addition to the regular conference fee. As with workshops, a registration form for the Research Symposium will be provided upon acceptance.
