[Air-L] Deadline in ONE WEEK: Design Fiction Track at GROUP 2016

[Eric P. S. Baumer]

--- Fictive Futures: Exploring Future Research Agendas ---

* Submission Deadline: Friday, February 12, 2016 *
Decisions Announced: Friday, April 22, 2016
GROUP Conference at Sanibel Island, FL: November 13-16, 2016

We seek submissions that imagine possible futures for research on the 
relationships between computers and people. Submissions will include two 
portions: a fictional document related to the conduct of research and an author 
statement about the document.

The fictional document could be an extended abstract, a call for papers, an 
excerpt from API documentation, a book review, a study protocol for IRB review, 
or any other relevant type. The author statement should connect that document to 
current events, cite on-going research in the field, or otherwise extrapolate 
how the envisioned future might arise from our given present. This statement 
will be especially important for abstracts (which are too short to explain their 
rationale), API documentations (which typically do not provide a historical 
rationale), and other documents that on their own may be exceptionally short 
and/or vague.

Because Design Fictions are archival contributions, we recommend a minimum 
length of 3 pages (notes), and as many as 10 pages (papers), following the ACM 
Standard Format. The reviewing process will be the same as the general track, 
and Design Fiction papers or notes will be included in the proceedings.

Design Fiction submissions must be completed online at the GROUP 2016 conference 
site: https://precisionconference.com/~group/
