We invite you to submit papers to the 4th Chinese CHI Symposium ( http://chchi2016.icachi.org/calls). The symposium will be held on May 8 in San Jose, CA, USA, as a one-day pre-conference event of CHI 2016. Papers in all areas of human-computer interaction are invited and will be assessed on their contribution to the field. Papers must present original materials and will be reviewed rigorously by expert reviewers. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published through the ACM Digital Library. Authors are invited to submit high-quality original work to advance the field. Chinese CHI 2016 especially encourages submissions that contribute to HCI research and design related to Chinese individuals and communities. Examples include but are not limited to user research that provides a deeper understanding of Chinese users or cultural differences, interaction design and techniques based on behavioral characteristics or knowledge of Chinese individuals, or simply regular HCI research with a more focused discussion that reveals implications for Chinese HCI. *Important Dates* Submission Due Jan 6, 2016 PDT Review Due Feb 6, 2016 PDT Paper Notification Feb 15, 2016 PDT *Submission Guidelines* *Format* Papers must be in the two-column ACM SIGCHI format. They must be anonymized and in PDF file format. Length must match the contribution, and the same general criteria hold for all papers. Papers must be at least 4 pages, but can be up to 10 pages. Paper length must be based on the weight of the contribution. A new idea presented in a compact format is more likely to be accepted than the same idea in a long format. Long papers need to include very strong contributions to warrant acceptance. Shorter, more focused papers are also highly encouraged. All work – both papers and optional video illustrations – must be submitted electronically via the conference submission system ( https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chinesechi2016) <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chinesechi2015> Chinese CHI 2016 will also have a separate poster submission category. Formatting requirements for posters will be specified in the call for posters that will be announced separately. *Language* Chinese CHI 2016 accepts papers in English only. Chinese CHI 2015 also accepts poster submissions in Chinese and English as a separate submission category. See the call for posters for details. 中文投稿說明：Chinese CHI 2016之長論文以及短論文類別僅接受以英文撰寫之投稿。Chinese CHI 2016另外亦徵求海報論文，接收中文或英文之投稿。海報論文的格式與投稿細節則另外公告。 *Review Process* Submissions will be reviewed in a double-blind process, and authors must ensure that their names and affiliations do not appear on the submitted papers.
