Late-breaking is news that becomes important or urgent. In the days before 24-hour news networks, programs were only interrupted for breaking news such as a severe storm, a presidential assassination, or a terrorist attack. News anchors were always ready to go on-the-air with a blaring headline and lower thirds to alert audiences, but these “cut-ins” were rare, as it was generally more cost-effective to keep running regular programming.
The Late-Breaking Abstract (LBW) program recognizes novel, critically important research developments that occur in the lead up to the International Congress and that would be of interest to the community but do not meet the deadline for a full paper submission. LBWs are presented at the conference as posters and include an optional appendix. Accepted LBWs are semi-archival and could be reused for future CHI conferences or for other peer-reviewed venues. This is a different venue than the main CHI e-poster sessions. Submissions must be complete and clearly explain the work in sufficient detail for a peer-review process to take place. They must also comply with CHI’s Anonymization Policy.
