Call for Experience Reports to ACM CHIMIT'08
ACM CHIMIT'08 (Computer Human Interaction for Management of Information 
Technology), November 14-15, 2008, San Diego

CHIMIT'08 is co-located with LISA, only 10 minutes from the LISA 
conference center. If you will be there you should consider submitting 
your experience...

CHIMIT 2008 will include a new experience report session to share insights 
from actual practice. Accepted reports will be presented in a special 
Experience Report Session, allowing authors to share and discuss their 
experience with all symposium participants. This session is expected to be 
highly interactive. Experience reports are non-archival. While reports 
will not be published in the Symposium Proceedings and ACM Digital Library 
they will be available on the Symposium web site, prior to the symposium 
start date.
Preparation Guidelines 
Please submit a 1-2 paragraph summary of an experience you can share from 
the practice of IT management, involving some kind of interface between 
people and technology.
Additionally, please submit brief answers to all of the following 
questions: 
When did the experience take place?
What was your personal role in the experience?
How many people were involved in or affected by the experience?
What was the financial or business impact of the experience?
What do you think is the top insight about human interfaces for IT 
management from the experience?
What changes for you or your organization were motivated by this and/or 
similar experiences?
We are interested in answers to these questions to evaluate the overall 
contribution to the symposium of a discussion of the experience, not 
because we are seeking only reports on major events or deep insights. A 
problem successfully solved by a couple of sysadmins that illustrates some 
issue of UI in management of a complex network is as relevant as a case 
study of a failure with major impact but a simple root.
Presentations of accepted reports can include more details and discussion 
than is included in the brief summary and answers submitted. We want to 
encourage informal storytelling with lots of interaction during the 
session.
Submission
Experience report submissions should be e-mailed to the Program Co-Chairs 
(programchairs at chimit08.org). Only PDF version of reports is accepted. All 
submissions must be received by the chairs by 5:00pm Pacific Time on July 
14, 2008. Submissions received after this date/time will not be 
considered. 
All submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail.
Authors will be notified on August 18, 2008. 
All questions regarding reports should be directed to Program Co-Chairs.
