Winter 2007

Begin your Draft Research
Paper by making a copy of the submissions template file (chi2007pubsformat.doc or chi2007pubsformat.cls) and naming the new file
"draft". The template file is the standard for "CHI"
submissions. CHI is the ACM's annual conference in human-computer
interaction. Please read the
information in the template file, and prepare your research paper in accordance
with the stated requirements. The draft research paper should include the
following sections, as in the template file: title, name and affiliation,
keywords, introduction, and references. (The sections to be added later include
the method, results and discussion, and conclusions.) Do not include an
abstract, as this is normally written after the other parts of a research paper
are finished.
The main part is the
introduction. The introduction should begin with broadly-placed background
information on the topic, followed by specific, more narrowly focused details
on the topic. This amounts to a "lit review" -- a discussion on prior
research relevant to the topic. Use sub-sections, as appropriate. Try to
organize the discussion such that the current state of the art is reviewed,
followed by the identification of a research topic. The problem should be
clearly stated, and you should indicate what your approach to solving or
investigating the problem will be.
The topic is up to you. Be
original. Remember, this is your research project, not mine.
For the reference section,
include at least five published papers. Please, no web postings. The papers
appearing in the reference section should be cited in the introduction, as in
the template. The references should be correctly formatted, as in the template.
Re length, aim for 3-5
formatted pages.
Submission. Submit your draft research paper as a PDF or DOC file in
Prism using the command 'submit 6329 draft draft.xxx', where xxx is either pdf or doc.
