Title
Unlocking Performance Right Now: Through Better Air Quality and Human Movement

What: Workshop at UbiComp2018 (https://http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2018/)
When: Papers due 20th July 2018, Workshop held 12th October 2018

All information is available at: https://performancerightnow.wixsite.com/workshop

The Call
Calling all researchers with experience in indoor air quality, human movement or both! The workshop: “Unlocking Performance Right Now: Through Better Air Quality and Human Movement” is held as part of the 2018 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2018). Through collaboration, rapid prototyping and discussion, the workshop aims to: (a) share knowledge, best practice and methodologies around designing for cognitive performance at work; (b) identify design touchpoints and overlaps in human movement and air quality-related research towards the goal of increasing cognitive performance, building solutions people can achieve -Right Now- i.e. within the context of their own (perhaps sub-optimal) workplace, producing initial prototypes of possible solutions; and (c) actions towards establishing- and delineating the boundaries of- a community of practice dedicated to designing for air quality and movement as complementary factors in workplaces.

Participation requires submission a four-page position paper from researchers, practitioners and designers in the UbiComp and CHI communities currently producing design solutions incorporating air quality and/or human movement/exercise informatics. Position papers should contain (1) an introduction your area of research/design and key knowledge gaps, (2) your specific contributions made, (3) considerations on the inclusion or potential overlap of your research area with air quality / movement / cognitive performance in your future research, and (4) a short biography (not included in page limit).

Research areas of interest to the workshop include (but are not limited to):

Air quality (indoor or outdoor)
• Personal exposure profiling
• Air quality awareness interventions (e.g. situated displays of air quality metrics)
• Behaviour change interventions involving air quality
• Research on the effect of air quality on human performance, productivity or cognitive performance
 
Movement
• Personal informatics or data visualisation related to movement, exercise or exertion etc
• In-bodied or em-bodied designs related to improving human/cognitive performance
• Sedentary behaviour or seating behaviour
• Behaviour change interventions towards healthier movement practices, active breaks, overcoming sedentary behaviour etc
• Research on the effect of movement/exercise/active breaks on human performance, productivity or cognitive performance

Submissions
Papers submitted to Performance Right Now must be in the SIGCHI Extended Abstract format, up to 4 pages in length.

All submissions should be emailed in .doc, .docx or .pdf format to the primary workshop organiser, Steve Snow, at: s.s...@soton.ac.uk, using the subject line "Performancerightnow Workshop Submission". 

Papers will be selected based on the relevance of the submission to either (a) air quality or (b) human movement in relation to cognitive performance and/or work performance. If more than 20 papers are received, a selection of 20 authors will be invited to prepare a 2 minute “pitch” style presentation of their research area, knowledge gaps and contribution, which will be given at the workshop. Accepted workshop papers will be added to the ACM Digital Library and the supplemental proceedings (pending approval).

Important Dates
Submission due: 20th July 2018
Notification: 10th August 2018
Camera Ready: 25th August 2018
Workshop date: 12th October 2018
