Chair: John C. Thomas, IBM Research
Mentor support request should
be made no later than: October 15th, 2006.
The Creativity & Cognition 2007 conference seeks contributions from diverse fields, bridging science, engineering, arts, humanities and more. We are eager to present novel work that enables more people to be more creative more of the time. If you believe you have a contribution but are unfamiliar with ACM or ACM SIGCHI conferences, you may wish to request a mentor to help with your submission. A mentor is a person who will help you with your submission to the Creativity & Cognition 2007 conference through one-on-one advising, usually via e-mail. A mentor will also familiarize you with the standards of CHI submissions. Mentors are volunteers familiar with submissions in the various participation categories.
Mentors may be available for Demonstrations,
Papers, Posters, or Workshops. If you wish to
ask for a mentor, we strongly encourage you
to contact me as soon as possible. A mentor's
feedback will be most useful to you if it is
early enough to influence the way you focus
your work, not just the way you write it up
for the conference. Reasonable expectations
for a mentor might include giving advice as
to the most appropriate category for your work,
suggesting improvements to your submission,
suggesting how to deal with language problems
or referring you to relevant research of which
you might not have been aware. Typically, a
mentor might spend 3-7 hours on a submission.
I try to carefully match mentors to those they
mentor, and wish to support you in getting your
work focused into a high quality submission
with a good chance of being accepted.
To request a mentor, please send email to
John C. Thomas, jcthomas@us.ibm.com
with the words: “CC2007 Mentoring Request”
in the subject field. Please include a 100-200
word description of your work, an indication
of which participation category you are interested
in and any questions for which you would like
help. Please see individual venue pages on this
web site for further help on ways to describe
your work and specific deadlines.
