In North America until the 1990s, TV and radio stations usually interrupted programming with cut-ins for breaking news only when it was a serious threat to public safety such as a tornado warning or landfalling hurricane. Such news would be blared across the bottom of the screen with a large headline or the words “LATE-BREAKING” or the like. The use of lower thirds was also used to convey a sense of urgency.
The late-breaking abstracts and demo submission track is designed to recognize important developments in the research community that occur during the time between the regular abstract deadline and the start of the International Congress. The submission process is highly competitive; only the most novel and substantive studies will be selected. Generally, the following categories are not appropriate for late-breaking abstracts or demo submissions: case reports, qualitative surveys, practice reviews, rating scale validation, small confirmatory studies, and research proposals.
Late-breaking abstracts must contain innovative research ideas, preliminary results, or industry showcases that address the conference theme and its interest areas. Demonstrations must be based on an implemented and tested XAI-based system prototype pursuing one or more of the innovation ideas of the conference’s interest areas. Those accepted for Late-breaking Work or Demo presentations will present their work in a dedicated session.
