Selecting a Subcommittee

Overview

CHI 2026 anticipates more than 4,000 paper submissions. The review process needs to handle this load while also providing high-quality reviews, which requires that each submission is handled by an expert Associate Chair (AC) who can recruit expert reviewers. The organization of the CHI program committee into topical subcommittees helps achieve this. See the description of the Papers review process for a detailed explanation of the responsibilities of the ACs and Subcommittee Chairs (SCs).

Authors should examine what constitutes a contribution to CHI and recognize that there are many different types of contributions possible for a CHI paper.

Accessibility and Aging
Blending Interaction: Engineering Interactive Systems & Tools
Developing Novel Devices: Hardware, Materials, and Fabrication
Computational Interaction
Critical Computing, Sustainability, and Social Justice
Design
Games and Play
Health
Interacting with Devices: Interaction Techniques & Modalities
Interaction Beyond the Individual
Learning, Education, and Families
Privacy and Security
Specific Applications Areas
Understanding People
User Experience and Usability
Visualization

Notes on Composition of Subcommittees

Once abstracts are submitted, individual subcommittees may grow or shrink based on the number of probable papers for that subcommittee. As in previous years, the paper chairs will be undertaking a survey to detail the diversity for each subcommittee. Please see, for example, this blog post on Diversity of the Program Committee for CHI 2020 which was published in July 2019.

Authors are required to suggest a subcommittee to review their submission. This page provides guidance on choosing the appropriate subcommittees for your submission.

Subcommittee Selection Process

When you submit a Paper, you can designate up to two appropriate subcommittees for your submission and we recommend that you indicate two. In the vast majority of cases, the subcommittee that will review your submission is one of the two subcommittees that you proposed. In cases where the Papers Chairs and/or Subcommittee Chairs recognize that your submission will be reviewed more thoroughly in another subcommittee, a submission may be transferred from one subcommittee to another. If a submission is transferred to another subcommittee, this will happen in the first week of the process, before reviewers are assigned; i.e., transferring will not affect a submission’s review process, it will only ensure that it receives the most complete, fair set of reviews.

Below, you will see a list of subcommittees and descriptions of the topics they are covering, the name of each SC, and the names of the ACs serving on each subcommittee. It is your responsibility to select the subcommittee that best matches the expertise needed to assess your research and that you believe will most fully appreciate your contribution to the field of HCI.

CHI has traditionally supported diverse and interdisciplinary work and continues to expand into new topics not previously explored. We recognize that as a result, you may find more than two subcommittees which are plausible matches for your work. However, for a number of reasons, it will be necessary for you to select no more than two target subcommittees, and you should strive to find the best matches based on what you think is the main contribution of your submission (examples of papers that are considered good matches are linked below for each subcommittee). You can also email the SCs for guidance if you are unsure (an email alias is provided below for each set of SCs).

Note that the scope of each subcommittee is not rigidly defined. Each has a broad mandate, and most subcommittees cover a collection of different topics. Further, SCs and ACs are all seasoned researchers, experienced with program committee review work, and each is committed to a process which seeks to assign each paper reviewers who are true experts in whatever the subject matter of the paper is. ACs recognize that many papers, or perhaps even most papers, will not perfectly fit the definition of their subcommittee’s scope. Consequently, papers will not be penalized or downgraded because they do not align perfectly with a particular subcommittee. Interdisciplinary, multi-topic, and cross-topic papers are encouraged and will be carefully and professionally judged by all subcommittees.

In making a subcommittee choice you should make careful consideration of what the most central and salient contribution of your work is, even if there are several different contributions. As an example, let’s say you are writing a paper about Ergonomic Business Practices for the Elderly using Novel Input Devices. Perhaps this is a very new topic. It covers a lot of ground. It’s not an exact fit for any of the subcommittees, but several choices are plausible. To choose between them, you need to make a reasoned decision about the core contributions of your work. Should it be evaluated in terms of the usage context for the target user community? The novel methodology developed for your study? The system and interaction techniques you have developed? Each of these evaluation criteria may partially apply, but try to consider which is most central and which you most want to highlight for your readers. Also look at the subcommittees, the people who will serve on them, and the kind of work they have been associated with in the past. Even if there are several subcommittees that could offer fair and expert assessments of this work, go with the one that really fits the most important and novel contributions of your paper. That committee will be in the best position to offer constructive and expert review feedback on the contributions of your research.

Each subcommittee description also links to several recent CHI papers that the SCs feel are good examples of papers that fit the scope of that subcommittee. Please look at these examples as a way to decide on the best subcommittee for your paper – but remember that these are just a few examples, and do not specify the full range of topics that would fit with any subcommittee.

List of the Subcommittees

Find a list of all subcommittees below.

Accessibility and Aging

This subcommittee is suitable for contributions related to the design or study of technology for people with disabilities and/or older adults. Accessibility papers are those that deal with technology designed for or used by people with disabilities including sensory, motor, mobility, psychosocial or cognitive, intellectual or learning disabilities, or people who identify as neurodivergent. Aging papers are broadly categorized as those dealing with technology designed for or used by people in the later stages of life. Relationships with technology are complex and multifaceted; we welcome contributions across a range of topics aimed at benefiting relevant stakeholder groups and not solely limited to concerns of making technology accessible. Note that if your paper primarily concerns health outcomes or interactions with health data or with healthcare providers, then the Health subcommittee is probably a better fit, whereas papers reflecting on how technologies are used or designed for specific needs are a better fit for this subcommittee. Submissions to this subcommittee will be evaluated, in part, based on how they include and potentially target user groups and other stakeholders. This subcommittee balances the rigor required in all CHI submissions with awareness of the challenges of conducting research in these important areas. This subcommittee welcomes all contributions related to accessibility and aging, including empirical, theoretical, conceptual, methodological, design, and systems contributions.

Strong submissions to this subcommittee will engage, as appropriate, with ongoing dialogues around ethical research praxis regarding representation of people from minoritized populations in the work. For example, papers that rely on data from non-disabled people should consider discussions around so-called “simulation studies” and how to avoid pitfalls of these methods. Your paper should also use inclusive language. Avoid characterizing an entire population using phrases that represent outlier positions for individuals, like “suffering from” (negative) or “inspirational” (positive). When comparing across characteristics or experiences, avoid referring to some people as “normal” implying others are not, or broadly characterizing one group’s experiences as categorically better or worse than others. We also recommend avoiding terms like “vulnerable,” “special needs,” and “X challenged.” We understand there may be exceptions (e.g., medical vision classification systems define a visual acuity as “normal”), but such usage should be footnoted for clarity, and these measures should be relevant to the described work. We expect that authors will review the language in their papers before each submission (initial submission, camera ready), and AC’s, SC’s, and other organizing committee members may request changes to language deemed to be non-inclusive as a condition of acceptance.

Blending Interaction: Engineering Interactive Systems & Tools

This subcommittee focuses on the development of novel interactive systems and “enabling” contributions, which are resources that facilitate the development of future interactive systems and inspire future interface design explorations. Interactive systems combine multiple technical components of hardware, algorithms, human computation, and interaction techniques. Their contributions will be judged by how well they enable and demonstrate novel interactive capabilities. “Enabling” contributions include datasets, tools, libraries, infrastructure, and languages. These contributions will be judged by how well they support the construction, engineering or validation of interactive systems and how well they can be shared among the research community to design future interactive systems.

Developing Novel Devices: Hardware, Materials, and Fabrication

This subcommittee focuses on advancing interaction through developing novel hardware and physical devices. It focuses on work where the core contribution is the new hardware or physical device. Typical contributions include, but are not limited to:

new sensing and tracking devices
display technology
haptics feedback devices
actuation and robotic approaches
developments in materials that lead to novel interactive capabilities
new fabrication techniques

Contributions will be judged based on the novelty of the resulting hardware prototype, the quality of the implementation, the showcased relevance through example applications, and the demonstrated improvements over existing hardware through a technical evaluation and where appropriate a user study. In addition, work in this subcommittee covers design tools that extend the type of interactive devices we can build today.

Computational Interaction

This subcommittee invites papers whose primary contribution improves our understanding on how to design and build interactive systems underpinned by computational principles of human-computer interaction, including applications of such systems. Typical papers study or enhance interaction underpinned by, for instance, machine learning, optimization, statistical modeling, natural language processing, control theory, signal processing and computer vision. Beyond simply applying such methods, they seek new ways to describe, predict, and enable interaction and guide the design of interactive systems that rely on computational methods or demonstrate applications of such systems. Core contributions typically take the form of novel theories, models, methods, techniques, and systems for computational approaches in HCI, as well as reports of rigorous empirical studies of interactive systems supported by computational approaches. Contributions will be judged by their rigor, significance, validity, and practical or theoretical impact.

Accepted papers contribute to our understanding of computational methods in human use of computing. An excellent paper advances knowledge of computational approaches in human-computer interaction. Even in algorithmic contributions, the human viewpoint is central and kept visible throughout. The subcommittee welcomes a broad range of contributions, including but not limited to:

Data set or analysis
Empirical study, including replication studies
Method
Theory and modeling
Design
Commentary or essay
System artifacts

The following types of paper are likely out of the scope of this subcommittee:

Papers that focus primarily on computation with little or no involvement of humans (e.g., merely using humans as data annotators or providing a standard UI wrapper around some computational models);
Papers whose primary contribution involves literature reviews or empirical studies where existing large language models (LLMs) are the main topic or method of interaction, without advancing computational theories, models, or interaction methods.

Critical Computing, Sustainability, and Social Justice

This subcommittee welcomes HCI research connected to themes of social justice, global sustainability, critical-reflective research practice, artful and aesthetic experiences, and critical computing-—all in pursuit of meaningful alternatives to the status quo. We encourage papers that explore how computing and computing research contributes to solidarity-driven and justice-oriented relations between individuals, social groups, and whole societies, locally and globally—all in the pursuit of fulfillment and flourishing. Submissions typically feature any combination of one or more of the following:

Theories and critiques including, but not limited to, antiracist, decolonial, feminist, crip and queer approachesCommitments to equity, sustainability, survivance, and social justice
Communication of perspectives from marginalised and under-represented persons, groups, nations
Attention to structural processes of power and control that produce and reproduce racialised, gendered, sexist, ableist, hetero/mononormative and colonial/postcolonial forms of violence, vulnerabilities, and exclusions
Challenges to and/or new analyses of received knowledge and paradigms including critical and progressive accounts of alternative epistemologies, decolonial practices and theories, indigenous knowledges, and Majority Worlds perspectives
Environmental justice, inter-generational justice, more than human worlds, technology and its implications in the climate crisis
Explications of values and needs from marginalised users and their communities
Low-energy or zero carbon technologies and ways of life
The pursuit of artful experiences and aesthetic ways of being and doing
The fostering of empathy, imagination, appreciation, and perception as community values

The subcommittee is epistemologically pluralistic, welcoming of a range of perspectives, approaches, and contributions that might take interpretivist, empirical, activist, political, ethical, critical, and/or pragmatic approaches to both societal challenges and how HCI research frames itself in relation to them. As a part of that commitment, we champion diverse forms of scholarly expression in the CHI community, such as critical essays, research through design, practice-based research, design fictions, and commentaries.

Design

This subcommittee is suitable for papers that make a significant designerly contribution to HCI. Papers submitted here develop and probe at various concerns, shaping design practice. Contributions include detailed descriptions of and reflections on design processes, interactive products, services, and systems that advance the state of the art; explorations and insights gleaned from working with interactive design materials; suggestions and provocations exploring new design tools, processes, methods, or principles, including those that explore alternatives to scientistic ways of knowing; work that applies perspectives from other disciplines to inspire or to critique the design of interactive things; or work that advances knowledge on the human activity of design as it relates to HCI research or practice. We particularly encourage contributions of new work that engages and builds upon the legacies of design in HCI to broaden the boundaries of interaction design and promote new aesthetic and sociocultural possibilities.

Games and Play

This subcommittee is suitable for papers across all areas of playful interaction, player experience, and games. Examples of topics include: game interaction and interfaces, playful systems (e.g., toys, books, leisure), the design and development of games (including serious games and gamification), player experience evaluation (player psychology, games user research, and game analytics), the study of player and developer communities, and understanding play. Studies of systems without a gameful or playful component (e.g., basic VR studies) or non-digital games (e.g., board or tabletop gaming without digital components) without a clear contribution to human/player-computer interaction are not within the scope of this subcommittee.

Example Papers

Health

This subcommittee is suitable for contributions related to health, wellness, and medicine, including physical, mental, and emotional well-being, clinical environments, self-management, and everyday wellness. Accepted papers will balance the rigor required in all CHI submissions with awareness of the challenges of conducting research in these challenging contexts. The research problem can be grounded in both formal and informal health and care contexts. Submissions to this subcommittee will be evaluated in part based on their inclusion of and potential impact on their stakeholders. We welcome papers that are empirical, theoretical, conceptual, methodological, design, and systems contributions. Papers must have a clear and novel contribution to HCI in terms of our understanding of people’s interaction with technology in a healthcare context, or the design of health and wellness technologies. For example, systematic reviews or usability studies associated with clinical trials must also have contributions for the HCI community.

Interacting with Devices: Interaction Techniques & Modalities

This subcommittee focuses on enabling interactions using different modalities, such as touch, gestures, speech & sound, haptics (e.g., vibrotactile, force feedback), gaze, smell, and physiological signals (e.g., heart rate, muscle tension, brain waves, and breath), on different devices (hand-held, stationary, head-mounted, in midair, on-body) and for different domains (on 2D screens, in 3D environments, as tangibles). Contributions will be judged based on how well a proposed approach solves a significant existing problem or how well it opens new and compelling opportunities for interactions. The novelty of the interaction, its design rationale, and evaluations demonstrating improvements over existing interaction techniques are particularly well suited for this committee.

If the main contribution of a submission is novel hardware or a fabrication method, we ask authors to submit to the Developing Novel Devices subcommittee instead.

Interaction Beyond the Individual

This subcommittee is suitable for papers that contribute to our understanding of collaborative technologies for groups, organizations, communities, and networks.

We define collaborative systems broadly, including small groups/duos, organizations, teams, collaborative systems, cooperation through computers, and crowdsourcing studies/tools. We encourage submissions across domains of interest in HCI where collaboration is common, including (but not limited to) work and offices, home, social networks/media, friendships and relationships, education, healthcare, design, cross-cultural and global communities, and the arts. We are also inclusive of emerging collaborative technologies and how they affect groups and collaboration, including but certainly not limited to AI and Machine Learning, AR/VR/XR, and robotics. Finally, submissions that consider the privacy, ethics, trust, and other sociotechnical factors of collaborative systems are welcome to submit.

Successful submissions and excellent papers will advance knowledge, theories, and insights from the social, psychological, behavioral, and organizational practices that arise from technology use in various social and collaborative contexts. Excellent contributions will tell us more than how individual users use systems, but instead focus on how multiple people, groups, and communities use systems together.

We welcome a wide range of perspectives and contributions to the subcommittee, as our focus is on collaborative technology. We are a methodologically diverse subcommittee, and thus welcome methods across the spectrum of HCI.

Learning, Education, and Families

The “Learning and Education” component of this subcommittee is suitable for contributions that deepen our understanding of how to design, build, deploy, and/or study technologies for learning processes and in educational settings. Topics may include (but are not limited to): intelligent tutoring systems; cognitive tutors, pedagogical conversational agents, multimedia interfaces for learning; learning analytics; systems for collaborative learning and social discussion; technology-supported learning; teacher/educator-facing designs; and tangible learning interfaces. These may be suitable for a variety of settings: online learning, learning at scale; primary, secondary, vocational and higher education; informal learning in museums, libraries, homes, and after-school settings.

The “Families” component of this subcommittee is suitable for contributions that extend design and understanding of how children, parents, and families interact with technology. Topics may include (but are not limited to) a wide range of domains that span health and well-being, social, psychological, and cultural phenomena.

While submissions will be evaluated for their impact on the specific application and/or group that they address, papers must also make a substantial contribution to HCI. In reflecting on their paper’s potential contribution to HCI, authors may wish to examine past proceedings; see the Contributions to CHI page.

This subcommittee is intended to handle many of the papers that went to and were reviewed under a split of Specific Applications Areas in CHI 2018 and earlier.

Understanding People

This subcommittee welcomes submissions whose primary contribution targets an improved understanding of people and/or interactional contexts, as opposed to submissions whose primary focus is on understanding the system or technology. Most submissions are empirical in nature, but they can also be conceptual. For empirical papers, the research can use statistical and quantitative, qualitative, or mixed and alternative methods.

Suitable topics for the subcommittee include, but are not limited to: individual behavior, human performance, as well as group, social, and collaborative behaviors and action. Core contributions typically take the form of insightful findings, evolved theories, models, concepts, or methods. Submissions may examine technology practices of diverse populations, and unique, understudied cultural, geographic, and socioeconomic contexts. Contributions will be evaluated for their rigor, significance, originality, validity, and practical or theoretical contributions.

You can submit directly to an Understanding People split depending on the primary method used. Choosing the appropriate method split will ensure the ACs and reviewers are suitable to evaluate your paper’s methods. The options are:

Statistical and quantitative methods. For example, papers that use experimental manipulations and statistical methods to derive conclusions, papers that use large datasets and (statistical, analytical) models to derive conclusions, or papers that develop or examine quantitative methods for HCI research
Qualitative methods. Papers whose contributions rest on methods such as interviews, observations, focus groups, diaries, (auto-)ethnography, specific document / content analysis, etc., where the implications of the work may not be generalizable, but add further insights to our understanding of human behavior.
Mixed and alternative methods: 1) a significant combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, leveraging both approaches to mitigate common method bias when investigating a unified set of research questions; and 2) alternative or novel research methods, such as action research, first-person research, etc.
