Associate Chair Review Form

We would like to invite you to be an Associate Chair for Technical Notes for CHI'97. Technical Notes are a new category within the Technical Program for CHI. The purpose of this category is to provide a forum for archival quality, but brief (2 page) descriptions of: new research directions, new research findings, new technologies, new practices, tightly argued essays or opinion pieces. Technical Notes are not expected to contain detailed methodology or full literature reviews, although relevant background information and descriptions of the methodology used will be expected to be included as citations. The kinds of criteria that we will be using to review Technical Notes are: originality and innovation, significance, quality of the argument, quality of the mechanics -writing, figures, etc.

As an Associate Chair you will be in charge of no more than ten Technical Notes. You will be responsible for gathering the reviews for these Technical Notes, and then writing a summary review based on the opinions of the other reviewers and on your own judgment of the paper. There will not be a program committee meeting for Technical Notes. You will email your summary review to us and we will make the final recommendations to the Technical Program committee based on your summary reviews.

The deadline for Technical Notes is September 20th 1996. We will then send you copies of the Technical Notes you will be handling, and also a list of the reviewers who will be reviewing each of these. Reviewers will be asked to send their reviews to you by October 17th and we will need to receive your summary review by October 31st. So you will have to be prepared to work on your reviews during the LAST TWO WEEKS OF OCTOBER 1996. We might also need to contact you during the first week in November when we will be making the final selections, and so we will be asking for contact information for you for that week.
