*** Covid-19 announcement ***

The HCOMP organisers are monitoring the ongoing situation around Covid-19 closely. We plan to hold the conference at the same dates, either online, or, if it‘s safe and the restrictions allow it, at the planned venue in the Netherlands. We aim to disclose further details in a few months. In the meantime, we’re looking forward to your submissions!

Submission
Authors are invited to submit papers of up to 8 pages, plus any number of additional pages containing references only. Note the page limits for the proceedings below.

All submitted papers must represent original work, not previously published or under simultaneous peer-review for any other peer-reviewed, archival conference or journal.

Papers must be formatted in AAAI two-column, camera-ready style; please refer to the AAAI 2020 Author Kit for details. The AAAI copyright block is not required on submissions, but must be included on final accepted versions.

Electronic abstract and paper submission through the HCOMP-20 EasyChair paper submission site is required on or before the deadlines listed above. Authors will receive confirmation of receipt of their abstracts or papers, including an ID number, shortly after submission. You can make updates to all information submitted before the deadline. We will consider only the final version received before the call closes.

All papers must be anonymized (include no information identifying the authors or their institutions) for double-blind peer-review. To ensure fairness, authors should declare  any conflicts-of-interest with PC members by selecting the "Declare Conflicts" link on the upper-right of your EasyChair submission page.

Authors are strongly encouraged to include supplemental materials such as executables and data files so that reviewers can reproduce results in the paper, images, additional videos, related papers, more detailed explanations, derivations, or results. These materials will be viewed only at the discretion of the reviewers, who are only obligated to read your paper itself.


Reviews
Each paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee and one AC. Reviewers will be instructed to evaluate paper submissions according to specific review criteria. We encourage authors to review them before submission.

To ensure relevance, authors should consider including research questions and contributions of broad interest to crowdsourcing and human computation, as well as discuss relevant open problems and prior work in the field. When evaluation is conducted entirely within a specific domain, authors are encouraged to discuss how findings might generalize to other communities and application areas using crowdsourcing and human computation.


Publication and proceedings
Accepted papers will be listed on the conference website.

To be included in the proceedings and in the conference programme at least one author must register for the main conference. The registration needs to occur by the camera-ready deadline.

Accepted full papers will be allocated eight (8) pages in the conference proceedings; up to two (2) additional pages may be used at a cost to the authors of $275 per page. Final papers found to exceed page limits and or otherwise violating the instructions to authors will not be included in the proceedings. Authors will be required to transfer copyright of their paper to AAAI. Accepted full papers will be published in the HCOMP conference proceedings and included in the AAAI Digital Library.


Presenting your paper
If your paper is accepted, you will be invited to present it at HCOMP2020. 

As noted earlier, at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the main conference to present the work or acceptance will be withdrawn. The deadline for that is the same as the camera-ready deadline.


Paper awards
HCOMP 2020 will recognize a best-paper and two runner ups.  New to HCOMP is a best student-paper. 

A best student paper is a paper where major parts of the work have been completed by an undergrad or postgrad student.
