*** Covid-19 announcement ***
The HCOMP organisers are monitoring the ongoing situation around
Covid-19 closely. We plan to hold the conference at the same
dates, either online, or, if it‘s safe and the restrictions allow
it, at the planned venue in the Netherlands. We aim to disclose
further details in a few months. In the meantime, we’re looking
forward to your submissions!
*** HCOMP 2020: Call for Work-in-Progress and Demonstration Papers

<> <>IMPORTANT DATES - All times are midnight CEST
(Amsterdam time)
August 7, 2020: Submission due
August 20, 2020: Notification of acceptance
September 20, 2020: Final camera-ready papers due
<>OVERVIEW
The Works-in-Progress and Demonstration track focuses on recent
findings or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work,
hands-on demonstration, novel interactive technologies and
experiences relevant to the HCOMP community.
We encourage practitioners and researchers to submit
Works-in-Progress & Demo Track as it provides a unique
opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback
on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations
among colleagues. To maximise visibility this year accepted
Works-in-Progress and Demonstration submissions will also be
presented with a 1-2 min PechaKucha presentation dedicated to the
Works-in-Progress & Demonstration Track within the HCOMP
plenary programme.
Submissions are welcome from any area of computer science,
artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction, to
economics and the social sciences, all the way to digital
humanities, policy, and ethics. This year, we especially encourage
work that generate new insights into the “human computation” side
of HCOMP, such as new understandings about human cognition,
human-in-the-loop intelligence systems, human-AI interaction and
collaboration, algorithmic and interface techniques for augmenting
human abilities to perform tasks, and other issues that affect how
humans collaborate with AI systems (such as bias, fairness, and
interpretability).
<>Works-in-progress
A Work-in-Progress is a concise report of recent findings or other
types of innovative or thought-provoking work relevant to the
HCOMP community. The difference between Works-in-Progress and
other contribution types is that Work-in-Progress submissions
represent work that has not reached a level of completion that
would warrant the full Refereed selection process. That said,
appropriate submissions should make some contribution to the body
of HCOMP knowledge, whether realized or promised. A significant
benefit of a Work-in-Progress derives from the discussion between
the author and conference attendees that will be fostered by the
face-to-face presentation of the work. Work-in-Progress
submissions are in the form of a ~2 page extended abstract, see
Submission section.
<>Demonstrations
A demonstration is a high-visibility, high-impact forum of the
HCOMP program that allows you to present your hands-on
demonstration, share novel interactive technologies, and stage
interactive experiences. Demonstrations will showcase this year’s
most exciting human computation and collaborative human-AI
prototypes and systems. If you have an interesting prototype,
system, exhibit or installation, we want to know about it. Sharing
hands-on experiences of your work is often the best way to
communicate what you have created. The demonstration submission
should describe the nature of the system as well as the expected
form of interaction with the user and the audience. If you have
special infrastructure requirements for the demonstration, please
include them in a dedicated paragraph within the submission.
Demonstrations submissions are in the form of a ~2 page extended
abstract, see Submission section.
<>SUBMISSION
All submitted Works-in-Progress and Demos must represent original
work, not previously published or under simultaneous peer-review
for any other peer-reviewed, archival conference or journal.
Submissions must be done in the form of up to 2 pages Extended
Abstract (references can extend beyond the 2 pages) via the
HCOMP-20 EasyChair Website. Submissions to Easychair is required
on or before the deadline listed above. We cannot accept
submissions by e-mail or fax. Authors will receive confirmation of
receipt of their submissions, including an ID number, shortly
after submission. HCOMP will contact authors again only if
problems are encountered with papers. Inquiries regarding paper
receipt must be made no later than August 10.
<>Formatting
Extended Abstracts must be formatted in AAAI two-column,
camera-ready style; please refer to the AAAI 2020 Author Kit for
details. Papers must be in trouble-free, high-resolution PDF
format, formatted for US Letter (8.5″ x 11″) paper, using Type 1
or TrueType fonts. The AAAI copyright block is not required for
works-in-progress or demo submissions, as they are not included in
the formal proceedings. Please see below for information about
publication.
<>Supplemental Materials
Authors are invited, but not required, to include supplemental
materials such as executables and data files so that reviewers can
reproduce results in the paper, images, additional videos, related
papers, more detailed explanations, derivations, or results. These
materials will be viewed only at the discretion of the reviewers,
who are only obligated to read your paper itself.
<>NOT Anonymized
Authors should include information identifying themselves and
their institutions for single-blind review.
<>REVIEWS
Submissions to the Works-in-Progress & Demonstration Track
will be curated. This means that submissions will only be
evaluated by the Works-in-Progress & Demonstration chairs (in
coordination with other relevant conference chairs). Authors
should expect to receive only very light feedback on their
submissions.
<>PUBLICATION AND PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will NOT be included in official conference
proceedings, and so may be submitted later to other conferences or
journals for official publication. Accepted papers will be made
available online on the conference website, and a summary of the
WiP and Demo session will be provided in the AAAI AI Magazine.
<>PRESENTING AT THE CONFERENCE
Accepted submissions will be presented at the conference in two
main modalities: 1) with a 1-2 min PechaKucha presentation in a
plenary session dedicated to the Works-in-Progress &
Demonstration Track within the HCOMP plenary programme, and 2)
with an author proposed presentation format. Authors can propose
their desired presentation format(s) at the time of submission,
including (but not limited to) poster, interactive demo, short
video, short presentation, or small exhibition booth. The eventual
format(s) will be decided in cooperation between authors and
conference organizers. Authors are asked to include special
requests and requirements at the time of submission by sending an
email to the chairs.
<>WORK-IN-PROGRESS AND DEMO AWARD
HCOMP 2020 will recognize one best Works-in-Progress and one best
Demonstration. Announcement of the winners will be done at the
conference in a plenary session together with the other conference
award. The Works-in-Progress and Demonstration chairs will assess
the Works-in-Progress and Demonstrations submissions to determine
the winners (considering both quality of paper submission and
presentation at the conference).

Please contact the Works-in-progress and Demonstration Co-Chairs
if you have any questions.
