Enabling Methods

Enabling Methods Theme Information

To represent a broad set of perspectives in human-robot interaction research, including technical, design, methodological, behavioral, and theoretical, the 10th annual ACM/IEEE HRI Conference invites contributions on enabling methods for human-robot interaction. These contributions describe new techniques and methods that enable the study, analysis, or construction of human-robot interactions form.

Full paper submissions to this category must provide a detailed description of the proposed technique, method, or measurement, analysis, or synthesis tool in a form that enables use by the community, a demonstration of how it may be employed to study, analyze, or synthesize interaction, such as a tutorial, and an evaluation of the usefulness of the technique, method, or tool through case studies or its applications to available datasets. Examples of contributions to enabling methods in past conferences and the Journal of HRI are included below.

Blind submissions are due on 3 October 2014. Accepted papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE xPlore. Full details of the submission types is provided on Author Page. Submission authors are also encouraged read the Open Letter to the HRI Community that describes the changes in the peer-review process for HRI 2015.
