Call for Participation
The main objective of this workshop is to create an interdisciplinary forum for sharing of research, design, and practical expertise, practices, and experiences that are currently dispersed across different disciplines. Therefore, the workshop aims to bring together participants from all the related disciplines, including visualization, visual design, interaction design, user interface design, and cartography, and by doing so support the participants’ research and design work in creating novel future map-based interfaces and interactions across a wide range of application areas.
Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit either a short paper or an extended abstract describing their interests and work related to the topics of this workshop. Some of the main topics to be covered by this workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following:
- research and design foundations of map-based interfaces and interactions.
- theories, principles, and practices guiding the design of map-based interfaces and interactions.
- applications of map-based interfaces and interactions, in areas such environment, sustainability, epidemiology, healthcare, education, games and entertainment.
- user evaluations of map-based interfaces and interactions.
Numbers permitting, the workshop will be open to other participants without a submission.
Submissions
The workshop short paper submissions should be of maximum 6 pages, and the extended abstracts should be 1-2 pages. Submissions should be in PDF format, and prepared according to the ACM Primary Article Template.
Submissions should be made through Easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mapii2024.
The workshop programme committee will review the submitted short papers and extended abstracts, and select 10-15 submissions for presentation at the workshop based on their quality, relevance to the workshop topics, and potential to raise interesting discussions at the workshop.
Accepted submissions will be shared with the workshop participants. The authors of the submissions will be invited to contribute an extended version of their submission to a Special Issue of Interaction Design & Architecture(s) Journal (IxD&A) on Map-based Interfaces and Interactions, to be published during Spring/Summer 2025. In addition, the workshop will include a discussion session on future publications in, for instance, a co-authored report or journal article for dissemination of the workshop findings.
