Follow-up activities

We will follow up the outcomes of the summer school, inviting the selected position papers (see below about Participation) to be extended to full papers to be published in special issues of international journals, or dedicated sessions at international conferences, such as:

International Journal of Arts and Technology (IJARTS)

Emerging SCI indexed. See https://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijart for more information. The journal welcomes the research on exploring the design of intelligent artistic artefacts. We are planning to organize a special issue on design research on design for vitality and well-being in this journal. If you are aiming at publishing in this special issue, your position paper (see below about Participation) should be within the scope.

CHI Play

CHI PLAY is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group for Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). CHI PLAY is the international and interdisciplinary conference (by ACM SIGCHI) for researchers and professionals across all areas of play, games and human-computer interaction (HCI). We call this area “player-computer interaction.” See for example CHI Play 2019 https://chiplay.acm.org/2019/. To this end, the conference features streams that blend academic research and games with research papers, interactive play demos, and industry insights.

International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (HCII)

EI indexed proceedings. See http://www.hci.international/ for more information. We organize parallel sessions on design with social computing, IoT and digital media every year. If you are aiming at publishing in this conference, your position paper (see below about Participation) should be within the scope.

If your position paper (see below about Participation) is outside the scope of the above publishing venues, it is also welcomed – we will recommend relevant venues that would fit your topic. If a pattern appears in many position papers, we will try to organize special issues or dedicated sessions in other proper venues.
