A Work in Progress (WiP) is a concise report of late-breaking findings or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work relevant to the AutomotiveUI community. It represents work that either has yet to reach the level of completion expected of a conference paper or for which a conference paper is not the most effective communication method. That said, appropriate submissions should contribute to the body of AutomotiveUI knowledge, whether realized or promised.

Submissions are accepted until 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth). These dates are fixed; there will be no extensions.

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts formatted following the new single-column ACM SIGCHI format. Submissions will be accepted through the Precision Conference Submission system. Accepted Work-in-Progress extended abstracts will be made available in the AutomotiveUI Adjunct Proceedings, distributed by the conference (e.g., on the conference website) and will secure publication in the ACM Digital Library, where they will remain accessible to researchers and practitioners worldwide.

A significant benefit of a Work in Progress derives from the discussion between the author and conference attendees fostered by the “face-to-face” presentation of the work. In this spirit, accepted submissions will be presented as a poster during the conference.

For each submission, one of the authors (usually the contact author) must be nominated to act as a reviewer for other WIP submissions. Each assigned reviewer will be expected to review two proposals. This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn about cutting-edge research. In addition, for Ph.D. students, it may be an excellent first exposure to the review process.
