Topics of Interest

To view the full range of subjects accepted by each respective community, please review our comprehensive Topics of Interest page before making your selection.

Submission Tracks & Formats

Authors with emerging and late-breaking work are invited to submit a short writeup to our Posters track or Demos track. We encourage recent findings, innovative ideas, and early proof-of-concepts that will spark productive conversations within our dynamic and interdisciplinary community.

Selecting Your Topic Affiliation: When submitting your Poster or Demo, you will be asked to indicate whether your project is more strongly affiliated with collective intelligence (CI) or human-AI complementarity and alignment (HCOMP) topics. Please see the Topics of Interest for details on the research topics most closely associated with each one.

Posters

Posters present concise reports of recent findings or innovative work relevant to collective intelligence (CI) and human-AI complementarity and alignment (HCOMP). Poster submissions are perfect for work that is still in progress or has not yet reached the completion level required for full paper submission. Each poster submission should offer some contribution to the CI or HCOMP research community, whether in results or in potential. Accepted posters will be presented in-person at the conference in the form of a poster session, offering authors the chance to engage with attendees and receive feedback in an interactive format.

Demos

Demos offer a high-visibility, hands-on opportunity to present interactive systems, tools, or technologies related to collective intelligence, collaborative human-AI systems, and human-centered AI. This track provides a platform to showcase prototypes, systems, exhibits, or installations that engage participants through live interaction. If you’ve built something exciting, this is your chance to show it in action!

Demo submissions should include a video walkthrough of the system, along with a 1-2 page description of the system, the nature of interaction with users, and the expected form of audience engagement. Accepted demos will be presented in-person at the conference. CI/HCOMP will provide presenters with a table, 2 chairs, a power outlet, and wi-fi; if additional materials are required, they must be requested by contacting the Posters/Demos Co-Chairs directly and they may not be guaranteed.

Submission Information for Posters and Demos

Formatting and Length

The main body of the text must be under 2 pages. There is no page limit for references and appendices. Authors must refer to the specialized submission instructions of the Demos and Poster submissions for additional formatting details and the official ACM template layout requirements.

Supplemental Materials

Authors are encouraged to include additional materials such as executables or data files to enhance reproducibility. Though a video walkthrough is required only for the Demos track, those submitting a Poster may optionally include videos or screenshots to demonstrate the potential of their work.

Anonymity

Submissions are non-anonymized. Authors should include identifying information in their documents to accommodate the track's single-blind review process.

Non-Archival Status

Accepted demos and posters will be non-archival and made available via the conference website. Authors are free to further develop their work and submit expanded versions to other venues in the future.

CI/HCOMP takes pride in our interdisciplinary community. We welcome work from a variety of perspectives and backgrounds, and we look forward to reading your contributions.
