About the Conference​

The IsraHCI Research Conference brings together researchers and practitioners interested in the intricacies of the design, implementation, and evaluation of interactive systems. In its eleventh year, the conference is becoming the premier forum to present, discuss and experience novel interactive systems from a research-oriented perspective. We invite those interested in HCI – from industry and academia, from design, engineering, computer science, biomedical, psychology, education, and the UX community - to take part in this exciting event and contribute to the growth of the Israeli HCI research community.

​

The objectives of the Israeli HCI Research Conference are to:

  • Create a bridge between academic research in HCI and those developing innovative interactive technologies in the Israeli industry

  • Contribute to the growth of Israeli research in human-computer interaction 

  • Establish an inclusive community of Israeli researchers, allowing students to present work and enter the research area

  • Foster interdisciplinary collaborations

Contributions

The conference is looking for four types of contributions:

  • Published research papers - HCI papers that were published in leading international journals and conferences during the past two years. Authors should submit their already accepted papers. No reviewing process will occur, papers will be selected by the paper chairs according to their relevance to the conference and to the overall balance of topics within the HCI community. Only a very limited number of papers will be selected due to time limitations.

  • Short papers - short papers that describe existing research projects, work-in-progress, case-studies or student works that have not yet been published. The abstracts should be written in the CHI format with a limit of 2 pages, excluding references. Short papers will be made available on the conference website if the authors approve their publication. Due to the tight schedule of the conference day, the chairs will decide if short papers will be presented in the form of a short talk or a poster at the posters session.

  • Demos - working prototypes of interactive experiences or products, from academia or industry. Demo submissions should be described in a two-page document according to the guidelines below, in Hebrew or English, and will be presented in a special session (see detailed guidelines below).

  • Industry Case Studies - presentations of industry projects, highlighting one or more of the following aspects: design, development, research, or evaluation with users. Case study submissions should be described in a one-page document according to the guidelines below, in Hebrew or English, and will be presented in a special session.

 

 

Submission Instructions

All submissions should be submitted in English and should be formatted according to the ACM conference proceedings guidelines. Information about the guidelines and templates can be found here. Verbal presentations at the conference are usually given in Hebrew, but English is also accepted.

Demo Submission Guidelines

We invite demos of new interactions, interfaces, and research platforms for HCI. Demos will be presented in the conference lobby with most traffic expected during a dedicated demo walkthrough break.

 

  • Demos should show a working prototype, not a video representation of the interaction.

  • Physical aspects of demos are preferred to on-screen demos.

  • Demos should not be promotional in nature.

  • Demonstrators will be provided with a table and electricity, but are responsible for all other equipment and staffing of the demo booth.

 

Industry Case Study Submission Guidelines

Case Studies are informal presentations of industry projects, highlighting the design, development, research, or evaluation of UX and HCI products. The goal of the case studies session is to expose students and practitioners to industry processes, methods, and challenges.

  •  Case Studies should highlight the problem definition, the design & development process, the challenges faced by the team and how they were addressed.

  •  Case studies should be submitted as a one-page document including: team members’ names, affiliation, project overview, user/customer definition, the novelty in the projects from a UX/Interaction perspective, and a short list of the main aspects the team would like to present (design process, development process, research process, etc.).

  • Submissions are encouraged to include visuals, however, the written description should stand alone, enabling a full understanding of the case study.
