CHI Program Committee
The CHI Program Committee is the peer-review and program-setting body for the ACM SIGCHI-sponsored annual conference, interacting with organizations such as Association for Computing Machinery, SIGCHI, ACM SIGGRAPH, IEEE Computer Society, Usability Professionals Association and institutions like Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Cambridge and University of California, Berkeley. Its composition, procedures, and decisions connect to events including CHI (conference), SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award, ACM Turing Award, ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing, and ACM Awards while engaging communities represented by Interaction Design Association, Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Design Research Society, European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing and venues such as Moscone Center, Palais des Congrès de Montréal and Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
The committee traces origins to early program committees that organized CHI (conference) alongside organizers from Association for Computing Machinery, SIGCHI, Xerox PARC, Bell Labs, Apple Inc., IBM Research and academic groups at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Cambridge and University of California, Berkeley; it evolved through reforms after debates at meetings linked to ACM SIGGRAPH, Beyond the Desktop, UbiComp, ACM Multimedia, ACM Hypertext, and policy shifts influenced by reports from National Science Foundation panels and initiatives like CHI Steering Committee and SIGCHI Awards Committee. Milestones include adoption of structured review processes akin to those in NeurIPS, ICML, ACL (conference), and amendments following controversies paralleling disputes at SIGGRAPH 2000 and procedural changes similar to ICLR and WWW Conference governance reforms.
The committee sets the technical program for CHI (conference), deciding paper acceptances, panels, workshops, and demos in coordination with SIGCHI, the CHI Steering Committee, conference chairs from institutions such as Microsoft Research, Google Research, Facebook AI Research, IBM Research, Apple Inc., Amazon (company), and advisory boards with members from ACM Publications Board, IEEE Computer Society and editorial boards of journals like ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, Human–Computer Interaction (journal), Interacting with Computers and Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. It liaises with award committees for recognitions such as the SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award and programming for tracks aligned with communities represented by Interaction Design Association, Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and Design Research Society.
Membership typically includes a Program Chair supported by Associate Chairs, Topic Chairs, and Program Committee members selected from nominees drawn from organizations like Association for Computing Machinery, IEEE, ACM SIGGRAPH, Microsoft Research, Google Research, Apple Inc., IBM Research, Amazon (company), universities including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford and research labs such as PARC (company), Bell Labs and Xerox Corporation. Selection processes reference precedents from committees in NeurIPS, ICML, ACL (conference), CHI Steering Committee nominations, and institutional rotation practices seen at SIGGRAPH and ICSE, with terms, staggered renewals, and diversity goals influenced by initiatives from ACM Committee on Professional Ethics and ACM Council on Diversity and Inclusion.
The committee applies peer-review protocols requiring multiple reviewers per submission, meta-reviews by Associate Chairs, rebuttal periods, and program-level decisions, drawing on models from NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL (conference), and SIGGRAPH. Criteria emphasize originality, significance, rigor, evaluation, and presentation as used in IEEE and ACM venues such as IEEE VIS, ACM Multimedia, CHI (conference), UBICOMP, and CSCW; procedural elements include reviewer calibration, score normalization, conflict checks, and statistical acceptance-rate monitoring similar to practices at NeurIPS and ICML.
Subcommittees manage papers, posters, workshops, courses, panels, student research competitions, and demos with specialized tracks for domains like accessibility, ubiquitous computing, human-robot interaction, and design studies, reflecting analogous structures at ACM Multimedia, IEEE VR, UbiComp, HRI (conference), ASSETS (conference), and CSCW. Specialized Program Committees coordinate interdisciplinary themes linking institutions and conferences such as CHIPLAY, DIS (Designing Interactive Systems), TEI (Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction), ASSETS (conference), ICMI (conference), and MobileHCI.
Policies prohibit reviewers from handling submissions where conflicts exist, with rules informed by guidelines from ACM Committee on Professional Ethics, Committee on Publication Ethics, and practices at NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL (conference), and Nature (journal) editorial standards. Enforcement mechanisms include disclosure forms, recusal procedures, anonymized reviewing options, and appeals processes analogous to those used by ACM Publications Board and major conferences like NeurIPS and ICML.
Program-level decisions have shaped research directions that influenced products and research at Apple Inc., Microsoft Research, Google Research, Amazon (company), and startups spun out from MIT Media Lab, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, and University of Cambridge; notable acceptances and rejections have sparked community debate similar to controversies at NeurIPS and ICLR, while strategic track introductions affected subfields recognized at ASSETS (conference), UbiComp, DIS (Designing Interactive Systems), and CSCW. The committee's choices contribute to award nominations like the SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award and influence curricula at institutions including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Cambridge and University of California, Berkeley.
