The Short Talks & Interactive Posters category provides an opportunity to present:
- exciting new findings
- ongoing work that has demonstrated special promise
- work that is still in a state to be influenced through discussion, and
- tightly argued essays or opinion pieces
The goal for this category is to provide a short, concise report of work that is important and likely to impact the CHI community.
Submissions should be two-page papers; accepted submissions will be published in the CHI 2002 Extended Abstracts. Submissions should include:
- a concise description of the idea
- your results or findings
- implications of your work to the field of HCI, and
- recommendations for further investigation
Full literature searches are not expected, although relevant citations should be included. Summaries of wider findings or reduced
versions of longer papers are not suitable for the Short Talks & Interactive Posters submission category.
Presentation Styles
Short Talks are mainly oral presentations by the author, while Interactive Posters focus more on discussion between the author and attendees. Authors should indicate their order of preference for the two presentation styles. Authors who provide only one preference will be considered for that presentation style only. Authors who provide a second preference will be considered for their second preference if their first preference is not available.

Review Criteria
Each submission will be reviewed on the basis of its contribution to the field of HCI, validity and clarity of the results, originality of the work, and quality of the written presentation. See the Papers submission category for more information on review criteria. In addition, the submission's suitability for presentation as a Short Talk or an Interactive Poster will be considered. Also note that, unlike Paper submissions, Short Talks and Interactive Posters submissions are not anonymous. They must be camera-ready.

Submission Instructions
The paper should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, by the deadline of 7 December 2001, 17:00 (5:00 p.m.), your local time. The confidentiality of your submission will be maintained throughout the review process. Follow the instructions for electronic submissions to submit the PDF file and enter the requested information. Guidance for creating and testing PDFs is also available.
We will use your electronically submitted PDF file during the review process, and, if accepted, the submitted PDF file is what we will print. However, if we have problems handling the PDF file for your paper, we will contact you to work out the problems or to request a backup hardcopy printout.
If you do not have web access, please contact the Short Talks & Interactive Posters Co-Chairs to arrange an alternative submission procedure.

Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. All submitted materials will be kept confidential until the date of the conference, 20 April 2002.

Upon Acceptance
Authors will be sent an email notification of acceptance or rejection by 11 February 2002. Upon acceptance you must complete and return a copyright release form in order to be published. This form will be sent with the acceptance letter. Authors of accepted Interactive Posters must prepare a poster presenting their ideas at the conference. Be sure to consult the Poster Preparation Guidelines before preparing your poster.
Please note that, due to publication schedules, revisions will not be possible. The PDF version you submit for review will be considered the final camera-ready version of your paper. Therefore, ensure that your paper submission is clearly written, carefully proofread, and correctly formatted.

At the Conference
Short Talks will consist of a 10-minute presentation with up to 5 minutes for discussion. Only standard technology support will be provided for Short Talks. Interactive Posters will be displayed during the conference in an area where people walk around and meet during breaks. Additionally, authors are required to be available at the poster during a scheduled poster session for discussion with the attendees.
