ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe the formatting requirements for the CHI Conference and offer a number of suggestions on writing style for the worldwide CHI readership.

Keywords

Guides, instructions, author's kit, conference publications

INTRODUCTION

The CHI Proceedings and conference Summary are the records of the conference. As in previous years, we hope to give the books a single, high-quality appearance. To do this, we ask that authors follow some simple guidelines. In essence, we ask you to make your paper look exactly like this document. The easiest way to do this is simply to down-load a template from [2], and replace the content with your own material.

PAGE SIZE

All material on each page should fit within a rectangle of 18 x 23.5 cm (7" x 9.25"), centered on the page, beginning 1.9 cm (.75") from the top of the page, with a .85 cm (.33") space between two 8.4 cm (3.3") columns.

TYPESET TEXT

Prepare your submissions on a typesetter or word processor.

Normal or Body Text

Please use a 10-point Times Roman font, or other Roman font with serifs, as close as possible in appearance to Times Roman in which these guidelines have been set. The goal is to have a 10-point text, as you see here. Please use sans-serif or non-proportional fonts only for special purposes, such as distinguishing source code text. The Press 10-point font available to users of Script is a good substitute for Times Roman. If Times Roman is not available, try the font named Computer Modern Roman. On a Macintosh, use the font named Times.

LEAVE BLANK THE LAST 2.5 cm (1") OF THE LEFT COLUMN ON THE FIRST PAGE FOR THE COPYRIGHT NOTICE.

If you do not have a laser printer, you may be able to arrange for a business to print your document for you. If no laser printer is available, then use the best alternative printer you have. If you have no access to any printer, then your material should be typewritten onto larger pages and reduced 25%. Please ask the conference office for assistance.

Title and Authors

The title (Helvetica 18-point bold), authors' names (Times Roman 12-point bold) and affiliations (Times Roman 12-point) run across the full width of the page - one column 17.8 cm (7") wide. We also recommend phone number and e-mail address. See the top of this page for two names with different addresses. If only one address is needed, center all address text. For two addresses, use two centered tabs, and so on. For more than three authors, you may have to improvise.

Abstract and Keywords

Every submission should begin with an abstract of about 100 words, followed by a set of keywords. The abstract and keywords should be placed in the left column of the first page under the left half of the title. The abstract should be a concise statement of the problem, approach, findings, and conclusions of the work described.

First Page Copyright Notice

Leave 2.5 cm (1") of blank space at the bottom of the left column of the first page for the copyright notice.

Subsequent Pages

For pages other than the first page, start at the top of the page, and continue in double-column format. Right margins should be justified, not ragged. The two columns on the last page should be of equal length.

References and Citations

Use the standard Communications of the ACM format for references - that is, a numbered list at the end of the article, ordered alphabetically by first author, and referenced by numbers in brackets [1]. See the examples of citations at the end of this document. Within this template file, use the style named references for the text of your citation.

References should be published materials accessible to the public. Internal technical reports may be cited only if they are easily accessible (i.e. you can give the address to obtain the report within your citation) and may be obtained by any reader. Proprietary information may not be cited. Private communications should be acknowledged, not referenced (e.g., "[Robertson, personal communication]").

Page Numbering, Headers and Footers

Do not include headers, footers or page numbers in your submission. These will be added when the publications are assembled.

SECTIONS

The heading of a section should be in Helvetica 9-point bold in all-capitals. Sections should be unnumbered.

Subsections

The heading of subsections should be in Helvetica 9-point bold with only the initial letters capitalized. (Note: For sub-sections and subsubsections, a word like the or a is not capitalized unless it is the first word of the header

Subsubsections

The heading for subsubsections
