Regular paper submission has closed on Oct 3 and we received a record-smashing 212 submissions (as we understand it, the previous record was 180 submissions, last year; that’s an 18% increase). The area chairs are currently working hard to assign the best reviewers to those papers in order to ensure high-quality reviews and a timely notification of Authors on November 21, 2016.
Don’t forget about the upcoming submission deadline on December 5th, 2016, for all submission to alt.HRI and of Late-Breaking Reports, Videos and Demonstrations.
Only one week left to go until the HRI 2017 Full Paper submission deadline. Time to do the final touches to your papers and submit. Make sure to read about requirements for full papers. Also, you may find our “successful submission guide” useful. We are looking forward to all your exciting contributions.
