Full Papers are expected to contribute widely applicable long-lasting knowledge to the discipline. Accepted papers will be presented in the conference programme and published in the proceedings. The paper length is a maximum of 12 pages (appr. 4,000-5,000 words plus figures and tables) in the specified format, which will be detailed on the website (including a template).

Short Papers (Posters) are expected to describe research that is more appropriate for the interactive poster session. The paper length should be a maximum of 5 pages (appr. 2,000 words plus figures and tables) and an additional page containing a full-page image of the poster in the specified format for the publication in the conference proceedings.

Case studies are invited for submission to present design projects that address issues and insights in design and emotion, or to communicate and discuss your approach to enhance emotional effects. These must include a summary description in a maximum of 5 pages (approximately 2,000 words) in the specified format and a maximum of 30 slides illustrating the design, design process and use.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit proposals for workshops. Workshops will be held on 11th September 2012 prior to the main programme of the conference. The purpose is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organisers, but each workshop is expected to include ample time for general discussion. A workshop proposal should include:

• The name of the workshop and the sponsoring organisation.
• A workshop position paper outlining the background issues, workshop goal an approach (a maximum of 1,200 words). If accepted in the first review, the submission for the second review must include a position – paper (a maximum of 4 pages, approximately 1,500 words)
• The names, affiliations, and contact information of the organisers.
• The intended number of attendees (maximum and minimum)
• The planned length of the workshop (half day – 3 hours or full day – 6 hours)

Submission and review processes will be handled by our conference system. All submissions will go through a blind-review process with at least two reviewers considering each proposal. All submissions accepted in the second review will be asked to submit the final manuscripts in the cameraready format. The detailed authoring guideline will be available on the conference website.
