How to Participate

To participate to the workshop, it is necessary to have a paper accepted and be registered both to the workshop and the main CHI conference.

Paper Types

We accept 2 types of submissions: position papers or research papers:

• Research papers are longer (4-8 pages) and present new work and unpublished results. Research papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee and selected according to their novelty, quality and relevance. Authors of accepted research papers will have a chance to revise their papers before they are published in the **ACM digital library**. As BELIV is a workshop, we do not expect lots of validation or strong results. Alternatively, ideal paper contain well-reasoned, innovative and, if possible, thought provoking, ideas

• Position papers are short statements (1-2 pages) describing a participant's relevant experience and ideas that can contribute to the discussion during the workshop. They will be made available to the workshop participants only.

Confused about whether to send a Position or Research paper? Take a look at our blog post about the difference.
