Call for Participation
Calling all computational notebook and literate programming researchers! We invite you to participate in a hybrid workshop at CHI aimed at bringing together researchers at the intersection of computational notebooks and HCI research, especially as it relates to interface and interaction design. We have multiple avenues for participation including papers, demonstrations, lightning talks, and attendance. To attend, please at a minimum fill out the form below with a position abstract related to computational notebooks and human-computer interaction. Position abstracts should be limited to 500 words, excluding references, and allow, but do not require, a lightning talk. Paper submissions should be of a length reflecting the contribution and in the ACM Conference Proceedings Primary Article Template format. Demo submissions should include an online portal(s) (e.g. website, YouTube videos, etc.) showcasing what the submitter wishes to demonstrate. All submissions should be related to computational notebook research and computer-human interaction. Paper Submissions will be peer reviewed by a minimum of one organizer and two knowledgeable reviewers recruited by the organizers. Accepted papers and demos will be published on the workshop website. At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop, either in person or online. All participants must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference.
Scope of Topics
This workshop's main themes are centered around the following questions:
- How can we improve the accessibility of relevant properties of computational notebooks, such as kernel state, provenance, and more, through novel interface and interaction design?
- How can we improve upon the Computational Notebook Metaphor for literate programming, such as with alternative structures that support non-linearity in analysis and narrative?
- How can computational notebooks exploit recent technological advances, such as those in virtual and augmented reality, mobile devices, and artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT?
- How can computational notebooks more effectively assist collaborative data science through methods such as best practices, novel interfaces and interactions?
- What challenges and opportunities exist for computational notebook use in the wild?
- How can we bridge the gap between computational notebook researchers, developers, and end users?
- How can we better evaluate both the actual and the potential value of computational notebooks and innovations to and/or for them?
