Summary of the topics and conclusions and creation of poster

The workshop will start with an introduction to the workshop topic, followed by short introductory presentations to get familiar with the participants and the topic they are working on. The introductory presentations will be kept short and focused, so there is ample time for discussion.

After that, the organizers present the common themes of the submitted papers, grouping them into different sessions. The different groups will then discuss their topic during a break-out session, creating a list of conclusions.

After the lunch break, the group comes back together to discuss the conclusions of each break-out session. The organizers will actively interact with the audience during the break-out sessions as well as during the whole group debate to stimulate discussion around the workshop topic.

The last part of the workshop will be devoted to produce a final poster to be shared with the broader CHI community.

This workshop will address the following issues:

Based on the submissions, a few key-topics will be selected that will be used to guide the discussion during the workshop.
