IMPORTANT DATES
(all times are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth or AoE)
Work in Progress (WIP) contributions provide a unique opportunity for authors to present reports on original yet incomplete work that seeks to advance our current knowledge in games and play through innovative or thought-provoking ideas. We encourage submissions describing late-breaking advances and a-in-progress reports from ongoing research. Submissions are evaluated on their originality, innovation, and contribution to the diversity of the conference program.
Examples include:
- Original and innovative concepts, technologies, or techniques that evidently support or inform research
- Qualitative or quantitative studies showing preliminary results
- “Sequels” to a prior research contribution
- “Prequels” to motivate or stimulate novel conversations or future work
- Theoretical or methodological contributions that provoke disciplinary conversations
Work in Progress papers are archived in the ACM Digital Library in the CHI PLAY 2024 Companion Proceedings.
SUBMISSION FORMAT
- Up to 8 pages in ACM Journals Primary Article Template, single-column manuscript style (excluding references)
- Detailed instructions on formatting and submission can be found at Companion Proceedings Submission Guidelines.
- (Important change) Please note that this year, Work in Progress submissions are anonymous. Submissions must have authors’ names and affiliations removed, and avoid obvious identifying statements. Any grant information that identifies the author(s) and their institution should be removed as well. Please check in particular the front page, headers and footers, and the Acknowledgement section. Also, check the meta information in papers prepared using Word. Citations to authors’ own relevant work should be done without identifying the authors. For example, “Prior work by [authors]” instead of “In our prior work.” If you submit any supplementary materials (e.g., videos, data), please also check those for any identifying information.
REVIEW PROCESS
Work in Progress (WIP) submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on originality, innovation, and contribution to conference program diversity. To facilitate a fair reviewing process, submissions must be made anonymous.
UPON ACCEPTANCE
Authors will have three weeks to prepare a camera-ready (non-anonymous) version of the paper incorporating the feedback provided by reviewers (this version uses the “sigconf” double-column layout). This camera-ready version must be uploaded both to the publisher (Sheridan) as well as to PCS. Additionally, authors may (optionally) upload supplemental material (both to Sheridan and PCS) – we ask authors to use this option instead of adding additional tables/figures to the Appendix. Furthermore, authors will be required to provide a 3 minute pre-recorded video of their presentation. The submitted video must be no longer than 3 minutes and briefly describe the authors’ work. Please see the Video Guidelines for technical requirements. Further, in-person authors will be required to prepare a poster for presentation at the conference.
DURING THE CONFERENCE
Work-in-Progress submissions are presented as posters at the conference, which will be exhibited during dedicated sessions. If your work involves a demonstration of a piece of technology or experience you may also opt to demonstrate it during the interactivity exhibition at the conference.
AFTER THE CONFERENCE
Work in Progress papers and the pre-recorded videos will be archived in the ACM Digital Library in the CHI PLAY 2024 Companion Proceedings.
