A term used to describe a piece of news that becomes available after the original deadline. For example, a TV station may interrupt its regular programming with a breaking news story such as severe weather or an important political event. Typically, this is done using a flashing screen and a sound effect that signals the urgency of the situation. The term also applies to computer software that automatically generates new articles or other content for websites and other platforms.
A person who is chronically late may feel powerless to change their ways, but there are some steps they can take to improve their punctuality. These include making larger tasks smaller by breaking them into smaller, more manageable chunks and sticking to a schedule to help avoid procrastination. It’s also crucial to have a high level of self-respect and respect for others, since people who don’t value their own time often struggle with extending the same courtesy to those around them.
CHI 2025 offers an opportunity to present LBWs and demonstrate innovative research ideas in progress or early results, elicit helpful feedback, and foster discussions among peers. Accepted LBWs will be published as CHI Extended Abstracts and made semi-archival (authors retain the right to publish their work in other peer-reviewed venues). If accepted, presenters of LBWs and demos must bring their poster or interactive prototype to CHI 2025 for display in designated poster stands. They are also expected to give a ten-minute in-person presentation on their LBW to attendees.
