Conference Scope and Topics
ACM CHIIR 2022 invites submissions focused on user-centered approaches to the design and evaluation of systems for information access, seeking, retrieval, and use. Contributions may explore improvements to existing systems and interfaces; propose novel theories, models, and systems; or focus on understanding individual and group interactions with information and information systems. CHIIR is a multi-disciplinary research meeting. In addition to studies of interactive systems, information interaction, and retrieval, we encourage submissions on related topics such as human-human information interaction, novel interaction paradigms, new evaluation methods, and related research in a range of communities such as sociology, ethnography, psychology, and human-computer interaction. We welcome submissions using a wide range of quantitative and qualitative research methods. ACM CHIIR operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduct.
Topics covered include but are not limited to:
- Information seeking, including task-based and exploratory studies
- Search interfaces, including those for specialized tasks, populations, and domains
- Information access methods and systems for users of all abilities
- Information interactions other than search
- User-centered design approaches to humans interacting with information and systems
- Interaction techniques for information retrieval and discovery
- Online information seeking, including log analysis of search and browsing
- Modeling and simulation of information interaction
- Qualitative studies of human information interaction
- Information use, including measures of use and broader sense-making
- Field and case studies of information searching, design and access
- User-centered evaluation methods and measures, including measures of user experience and performance, experiment and search task design, eye-tracking and neuro-physiological approaches, data analysis methods, and usability
- Human interaction and experience with conversational information systems
- Context-aware and personalized search, including design, contextual features and analysis of information interaction
- Information visualization and visual analytics, including search result presentation
- Enabling and studying multi-modal interactions with information
- Collaborative information seeking and social search, including social utility and network analysis for information interaction
- Conversational search and other types of stateful and multi-turn interactions between users and search applications
- Insights and analyses related to human experiences and usage trends with recommendation technologies
- Information interaction and seeking with mobile devices and services
