Subject: HCOMP 2015 Workshop Proposals Extension until June 8th
The HCOMP conference is cross-disciplinary, and we invite submissions across the broad spectrum of crowdsourcing and human computation work. Human computation and crowdsourcing is unique in its direct engagement and reliance on both human-centered studies and traditional computer science. The HCOMP conference is thus aimed at promoting the scientific exchange of advances in human computation and crowdsourcing among researchers, engineers, and practitioners across a spectrum of disciplines who may otherwise not have the opportunity to hear from one another.
The theme for HCOMP 2015 is "Intersections": intersections between people and technology, intersections between different stakeholders, intersections of the physical and virtual, and intersections between diverse perspectives in the HCOMP community and beyond.
Workshop and tutorial proposals are due Midnight PST on June 8, 2015.
Email workshop submission to Kate Starbird (Workshop Chair): kstarbi@uw.edu
Authors of papers, workshops, and tutorials will be notified about the acceptance and rejection of their submissions on June 19, 2015.
Conference Chairs
Dr. Panos Ipeirotis (Stern School of Business, New York University)
Dr. Liz Gerber (McCormick School of Engineering & School of Communication, Northwestern University)

Call for Papers
The Third AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP-2015) will be held November 8-11, 2015 at the Kona Kai Resort and Marina in San Diego, CA, USA.
The HCOMP conference is cross-disciplinary, and we invite submissions across the broad spectrum of crowdsourcing and human computation work. Human computation and crowdsourcing is unique in its direct engagement and reliance on both human-centered studies and traditional computer science. The HCOMP conference is thus aimed at promoting the scientific exchange of advances in human computation and crowdsourcing among researchers, engineers, and practitioners across a spectrum of disciplines who may otherwise not have the opportunity to hear from one another.
The theme for HCOMP 2015 is "Intersections": intersections between people and technology, intersections between different stakeholders, intersections of the physical and virtual, and intersections between diverse perspectives in the HCOMP community and beyond.
Conference History:
The conference was created by researchers from diverse fields to serve as a key focal point and scholarly venue for the review and presentation of the highest quality work on principles, studies, and applications of human computation and crowdsourcing. The meeting seeks and embraces work on human computation and crowdsourcing in multiple fields, including human-centered fields like human-computer interaction, psychology, design, economics, management science, and social computing, and technical fields like databases, systems, information retrieval, optimization, vision, speech, robotics, machine learning, and planning.
Submissions:
Paper submissions are double-blind, so please do not include author information in the paper. The papers should be formatted according to the AAAI style guidelines. While we do not have a strict page limit for the submissions, we expect the average paper length to be around 8 pages, but papers may be submitted with any length commensurate with their contribution.
Submissions are invited on principles, studies, and applications of systems that rely on programmatic access to human intellect to perform some aspect of computation, or where human perception, knowledge, reasoning, or physical activity and coordination contributes to the operation of larger computational systems, applications, and services.
The conference will include presentations of new research, works-in-progress and demo sessions, and invited talks. A day of workshops and tutorials will precede the main conference.
HCOMP 2015 builds on a series of four successful earlier workshops (2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012) and two AAAI HCOMP conference held in 2013 and 2014. All full papers accepted will be published as AAAI archival proceedings in the AAAI digital library. While we encourage visionary and forward-looking papers, the paper track will not accept work recently published or soon to be published in another conference or journal. However, to encourage exchange of ideas, such work can be submitted to the non-archival work-in-progress and demo track. For submissions of this kind, the authors should include the venue of previous or concurrent publication.
Important Submission dates
Paper (double-blind) submissions are due on May 1, 2015 (11:59pm Pacific Time).
Workshop and tutorial proposals are due on June 8, 2015.
Work-in-progress will be due August 25, 2015.
Deadline for optional rebuttals: June 6, 2015
Authors of papers, workshops, and tutorials will be notified about the acceptance and rejection of their submissions on June 19, 2015. Accepted papers will be due in camera-ready form on July 16, 2014. Authors of work-in-progress will be notified by September 7, 2015.
