Proceedings of the ACM CHI Conference. The Proceedings of the ACM CHI Conference collect peer-reviewed papers presented at the annual ACM SIGCHI-sponsored Association for Computing Machinery conference, and they serve as a central record for research reported at venues that include the annual sessions held in cities such as San Jose, California, Seattle, Montreal, Paris, Glasgow, and Denver. Authors who publish in the proceedings often come from institutions including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon University, and University of California, Berkeley, and their work is frequently cited alongside reports from conferences like SIGGRAPH, CSCW, UbiComp, CHI PLAY, and MobileHCI.

Overview

The Proceedings compile original research, full papers, short papers, posters, and workshop reports that address interactive systems evaluated at venues associated with organizations such as ACM SIGCHI, IEEE, European Conference on Computer Vision, International Conference on Software Engineering, and Association for Computing Machinery committees. Contributions typically describe novel systems or empirical findings from labs like MIT Media Lab, Microsoft Research, Google Research, Apple Inc. Research, and IBM Research, and they often intersect with projects reported at TED, NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI, and KDD.

From its origins in early SIGCHI meetings alongside organizations like Association for Computing Machinery and events such as the CHI 1982 gatherings, the Proceedings have evolved through editorial stewardship involving figures affiliated with Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Nokia Research Center, and Sony CSL. The series mirrors shifts documented at conferences including OOPSLA, VLDB, SOSP, Eurosys, and WWW as methods moved from laboratory prototypes at Cornell University and Princeton University to field deployments in collaborations with National Institutes of Health, European Commission, NASA, and DARPA.

Each annual volume appears under the imprint of the Association for Computing Machinery and is indexed in bibliographic services such as ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Library cataloging places volumes alongside serials from publishers like Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, Oxford University Press, and Cambridge University Press, and identifiers include ISBNs and digital object identifiers assigned in cooperation with agencies like CrossRef and Library of Congress.

The Proceedings cover thematic tracks that have included human–computer interaction research tied to institutions like University College London, Tsinghua University, Peking University, University of Toronto, and ETH Zurich; topics frequently overlap with work from conferences such as ICRA, IROS, CHI PLAY, HRI, and EICS. Recurring subject matter in the volumes connects to studies from labs including Mozilla Research, Facebook AI Research, Amazon Lab126, Baidu Research, and Adobe Research and spans areas also treated by Interaction Design Association events and journals associated with ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction.

Peer review for the Proceedings is organized by program committees that have included academics and industry researchers from Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, University of Michigan, and University of Washington and follows review models comparable to those used by NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, SIGGRAPH, and ETRA. Submission volumes per year often reach into the thousands, with acceptance rates and reviewer assignments tracked using systems developed by groups like OpenReview, EasyChair, HotCRP, and supported by editorial boards that have featured editors from Stanford Research Institute and Princeton University.

Papers in the Proceedings have influenced product roadmaps at companies such as Microsoft, Apple Inc., Google, Amazon (company), and Samsung Electronics, and have been cited in policy documents produced by agencies like National Science Foundation, European Research Council, Office of Science and Technology Policy, and World Health Organization. Scholarly impact is measured via citations in other venues including CHI Journal, ACM TOCHI, PLOS ONE, Nature Human Behaviour, and Science Advances, and award-winning works have been recognized at ceremonies associated with ACM Awards and CHI Lifetime Research Award events.

Notable contributions published in the Proceedings include foundational studies that influenced research at Xerox PARC, MIT Media Lab, Bell Labs Research, Carnegie Mellon University and fielded systems used by NASA and European Space Agency, and several papers have received Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards presented by SIGCHI committees and celebrated at plenaries alongside honors from ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award recipients and presenters from Royal Society lectures. Recipients and landmark works have been discussed in press coverage from outlets such as The New York Times, The Guardian, Wired, Nature, and Scientific American.
