Horizon CDT Conference 2021

Living Our Data Creatively 1st Horizon CDT Conference on Creating Our Lives in Data, Nottingham, United Kingdom, 20th April 2021

The Horizon CDT conference brings together PhD candidates in the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training, members of the Horizon Digital Economy Research Insitute and Digital Economy Network (DEN), and academics associated with the Centre. Events will be held annually following the inaugural event in 2021. The conference considers a broad range of topics around the unifying theme of 'Creating our lives in data'. An illustrative list is as follows:

  • Studying the potential effects of smart packaging on customer brand engagement within the fast-moving consumer goods industry.
  • An exploration of factors that influence desire to share genomic information.
  • The Impact of New Data and Technology on Human and System Performance in Rail
  • Evolution of interaction networks in developing countries for social intervention.
  • Embedding Digital Interventions into Everyday Life: Measuring Mood with Wearable Technology
  • Human-Machine Interface design for navigation systems in future highly automated vehicles
  • Using Personal Data to Configure Navigation Support for Blind and Partially Sighted People

The 2021 event will be an online conference hosted by the University of Nottingham (UK).

The University of Nottingham is a public research university in Nottingham, United Kingdom. It was founded as University College Nottingham in 1881, and was granted a royal charter in 1948. The University of Nottingham belongs to the elite research intensive Russell Group association. Nottingham's main campus (University Park) with Jubilee Campus and teaching hospital (Queen's Medical Centre) are located within the City of Nottingham, with a number of smaller campuses and sites elsewhere in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Outside the UK, the university has campuses in Semenyih, Malaysia and Ningbo, China.

Submission Guidelines

Only papers written in English and not published nor submitted elsewhere are eligible for submission. They will be accepted on the basis of full paper submission after a careful, double-blind review overseen by the Program Committee. There is no requirement to submit abstracts. Submissions should take the form of academic papers of 3000-7000 words (references not included). No proceedings will be published.

Authors can choose to submit to one of three tracks. All submissions should take the form of full papers (3000-7000 words).

All papers should use the IEEE paper format (click here for a template).

We welcome submissions from Horizon CDT students, and other academics and practitioners by invitation. Papers can involve a variety of approaches, including reviews and those with a conceptual, applied, practical, or historical focus, as well as case studies and reports on lessons learned in practice.

Authors may provide more than one submission but acceptance of multiple proposals by a single author or co-author will be weighed against available space to ensure we can include as many authors as is practical for the conference. At least one of the authors should register and attend the conference, presenting their paper. Presentations of papers in the conference will be done in panels (60 minutes with up to 4 papers: 10 minutes for each presentation + the remainder for open questions & debate by the panel), using pre-recorded presentations. Submissions will not be published in proceedings with an ISBN but will be retained by the CDT in accordance with the University of Nottingham's privacy policy and retention schedule. Final papers should not exceed 7000 words and no more than 10 pages.

All authors should submit a 10 minute video presentation by the deadline below. These will be provided to delegates in advance of the event as well as broadcast at the event, to allow for comments and questions. The url should be shared on the Horizon CDT 2019 '2021 conference' Teams channel.
