This volume collects the papers presented at the CHItaly 2013 Doctoral Consor-
tium, held in Trento (Italy) on September 16th 2013. The CHItaly conference
is a biannual event organized by the SIGCHI Italian Chapter. This year the
conference reached its tenth edition and for the first time it hosted a Doctoral
Consortium with the aim of supporting PhD students to present and share ideas
about their research and gather feedback from senior experts.
    A good number of contributions was received from all over Europe. A Pro-
gram Committee reviewed the contributions and finally selected 10 papers for
presentation at the doctoral consortium. The selection was based on the matu-
rity of the described research and its potential impact, and on quality of writing
and presentation. The accepted papers span a good variety of themes, from new
interaction paradigms, to methods supporting collaboration, to end user devel-
opment and evaluation methods. They reveal the vitality of the Italian CHI
community and its capability to attract contributions from abroad.
    During the event, PhD students were provided with a friendly and lively
atmosphere for presenting their research ideas and exchanging experiences with
other students. They also received useful suggestions from senior researchers for
the completion of their dissertation. We are immensely grateful to the panel of
experts, and more specifically to Prof. Monica Bordegoni, Prof. Maria Francesca
Costabile and Prof. Roberto Polillo who attended the event and provided such
a supportive setting for feedback on the students current research and guidance
on future directions.
    We also deeply thank the PhD students, for contributing and enthusiasti-
cally presenting their research, and the Program Committee members for their
effort in the selection of the accepted papers. We finally thank the CHItaly
2013 Conference Chairs for giving us the possibility of organizing the Doctoral
Consortium.
