PAPERS<\/p>\n
Deadline for meta-data of paper:\u00a0<\/strong>May 7, 2021 All deadlines are AoE (anywhere on earth) on the date shown.<\/p>\n AT A GLANCE<\/p>\n AutomotiveUI papers are peer-reviewed, archival publications of original research. Authors are invited to submit papers formatted in accordance with the new single-column ACM SIGCHI format using the\u00a0Precision Conference Submission system<\/a>. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings which will be archived in the ACM Digital Library.\u00a0<\/p>\n For accepted papers, at least one author is required to register for the conference and present the work.\u00a0<\/p>\n We look forward to reviewing your work.<\/p>\n Christian P. Janssen, Ronald Schroeter, and Philipp Wintersberger Thank you for considering to submit to the papers track of AutomotiveUI 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n The papers track is meant for your best, original scientific work that is not published elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you are new to the community, we encourage you to explore the AutomotiveUI\u00a0proceedings<\/a>\u00a0(incl. papers track) and\u00a0adjunct proceedings<\/a>\u00a0(incl. the other tracks) of previous conferences (see the top of the page). Note that formatting of papers has recently changed.<\/p>\n Intended contribution and topics: Continuing a tradition from AutomotiveUI 2019 and 2020, we ask authors to identify the main intended contribution of their work. AutomotiveUI spans a variety of topics. This year, we particularly welcome submissions about the following topics:<\/p>\n In addition, there are many other topics that are part of AutomotiveUI, which are listed below under \u201cfurther details\u201d.<\/p>\n Selection criterion is scientific excellence:<\/strong>\u00a0Our reviewing process is designed to promote scientific excellence, explained in more detail below. Acceptance is highly competitive: regardless of area, all accepted papers will score highly on contribution, innovation, and quality of thought and writing. Submit your best work!<\/p>\n Paper length:<\/strong>\u00a0This year, we have a different process for paper length. The length should be proportional to the contribution, with a maximum of 13 pages. More details are provided below under \u201cfurther details\u201d.<\/p>\n Online format and recording:<\/strong>\u00a0As the conference is virtual, presentations will be online. To cater to diverse timezones, all presentations of accepted papers will be recorded or pre-recorded. Authors who submit their paper should be aware that a recorded version of their presentation will be made available to the delegates.\u00a0<\/p>\n Desk-rejects and Quick Rejects:<\/strong>\u00a0The volume of paper submissions is increasing each year. This growth increases the pressure on our Associate Chairs and reviewer pool to handle the review of all submissions. We anticipate that the COVID pandemic worsens this further as it reduces the availability of reviewers and chairs this year. Similar to other ACM SIGCHI conferences, such as CHI, we therefore follow a process in which there is an opportunity for desk-rejects and quick rejects. The procedures are explained below under \u201cfurther details\u201d.<\/p>\n We look forward to your submissions!<\/p>\n Christian P.

Below are more details on paper format and length.<\/p>\n More details regarding the new ACM workflow for publications can be found here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/taps\/word-template-workflow<\/a><\/p>\n After you submit your AutomotiveUI 2021 Paper, it will undergo a rigorous double-blind review process. Neither the reviewers will know the names of the authors, nor will the authors know the names of the reviewers. This process is coordinated by the Technical Program Chairs (TPCs). Submit your best work as the reviewing process is competitive. AutomotiveUI papers cover a variety of areas . However, regardless of area, all accepted papers score highly on contribution, innovation, and quality of thought and writing.<\/p>\n The reviewing process is structured as follows:<\/p>\n AutomotiveUI 2021 is the first year where quick rejects are used, in response to the growing number of submissions and the stress that other factors (e.g., COVID pandemic) put on the reviewing process. The TPC will apply these rejections conservatively.<\/p>\n All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and will be published in the\u00a0ACM digital library<\/a>.<\/p>\n Full paper authors will be notified of (conditional) acceptance or rejection around the end of June, 2021. At a later time, authors of conditionally accepted submissions will receive instructions on how to prepare and submit the final formatted version and details on the presentation, live online discussion panel, and scheduling at the conference.<\/p>\n A member of the program committee and the publication chairs will check that your final output meets the requirements for publication and, if so, will finalize the acceptance. Authors are encouraged to submit their final revision earlier than the deadline, in case it is judged that the paper does not meet the committee requirements. If authors are unable to meet these requirements by the deadline, the program chairs will be notified and may be required to remove the paper from the program.<\/p>\n In order for the final version of the paper to be published in the conference proceedings, at least one author of accepted papers must register for the virtual conference by the early registration deadline in order for the final version of the paper to be published in the conference proceedings.<\/strong><\/p>\n At the virtual conference, authors will present their work in a presentation with a pre-recorded video. They will also take part in a live Q&A session about the paper. The exact format of the presentation will be decided and communicated at a later time.<\/p>\n Organizers will attempt to accommodate authors in time slots that are most ideal given their time zone. Note however, that we do a good faith attempt, but cannot guarantee that we can accommodate all individual requests.<\/p>\n Authors who do not submit a presentation or participate in the live session may have their paper removed from the proceedings and the digital library.<\/strong><\/p>\n The program committee will be announced at a later date.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Intended contributions are used to match each paper to an Associate Chair and reviewers who have expertise in that particular area. Each author is asked to select one main (and one optional second) intended contribution. We distinguish between the following categories:<\/p>\n\n
Topics can be used to allocate your paper to an AC or reviewer with knowledge in that area.
At this years AutoUI we are particularly interested in submissions in these categories:<\/p>\n\n
Proposals for sustainable mobility that are relevant for AutomotiveUI. Sustainable development can be interpreted as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This category includes both environmental and social aspects such as:<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
AutomotiveUI technologies and interventions, and automated technology can change experience in various ways. This broad category captures aspects such as the relationship between AutomotiveUI and:<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
We encourage submissions that take a radically different (\u201cout of the box\u201d) perspective compared to previous AutomotiveUI publications, provided that this perspective is relevant for the AutomotiveUI community and shows scientific rigour and clarity. For example, papers that apply different methods, or that test an idea that goes against popular opinion. This category is not meant to cover what CHI calls \u201cAlt-CHI\u201d (as in: work that is hard to get into CHI). Rather, it encourages different perspectives that are scientifically valid and grounded, but that are in a substantial way different from the \u201ctypical\u201d AutomotiveUI paper.<\/p>\n\n

In more detail:
Your submission must be original; it cannot be published or be under concurrent review elsewhere. If you make multiple submissions to AutomotiveUI 2021, along any track, they must be distinct from each other.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

To aid the review process, authors are requested to indicate which type of research contribution that the submission makes. This information will be used to find the most appropriate meta-reviewers \/ ACs (Associate Chairs). See above.\u00a0<\/li>\n
