Panels

Panels are sessions that involve significant interaction with the conference audience. A Panel consists of an invited group of experts who may debate or critique concepts or artifacts, enact some aspect of their expertise, or reflect on and compare their diverse experiences. Panels should also include involvement from the audience, often through questions and answers, voting or critique of the experts’ presentations, and so on. Proposed panels are encouraged to address one or more of the topics as outlined in the general Call for Participation.

 

Topics for a panel session may be proposed by individuals with an interest in chairing a panel on a topic that intrigues them. Preference will be given to topics that are though provoking and that will promote debate among panel members and involvement of the audience. All suggestions will be assessed for their topicality and ability to generate stimulating debate. Submit a panel proposal abstract (two pages in total, in word or PDF format). Proposals must be formatted according to the conference papers format. Submissions for panels are NOT anonymous. Submissions will receive at least three reviews from leaders in the specified area of HCI. The proposal should include the proposer's name and affiliation as well as the names and affiliations of possible panel members. An author of each accepted proposal must attend IndiaHCI 2011 to chair the panel. Descriptions of accepted panels will be published in the conference proceedings.

 

Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until the start of the conference.
