CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

4th Annual IEEE Tabletops and interactive Surfaces (TIS) Conference
November 23¡V25, 2009
Banff, Alberta, in Western Canada
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The IEEE Tabletops and interactive Surfaces (TIS) Conference is a premier
venue for presenting research in the design and use of new and emerging
tabletop and interactive surface technologies. As a new community, we
embrace the growth of the discipline in a wide variety of areas, including
innovations in TIS hardware, software, interaction design, and studies
expanding our understanding of design considerations of TIS technologies and
of their applications in modern society.
 
Based on the overwhelming success of the previous Tabletop/TIS workshops,
TIS 2009 is introducing some new forums, including invited Tutorials and
Interactive Posters.
 
TIS 2009 will bring together top researchers and practitioners who are
interested in both the technical and human aspects of TIS technology. On
behalf of the conference organizing committee, we invite you to begin
planning your submissions and participation for this year¡¦s conference!

 
Call for Participation Details

The use of interactive surfaces is an exciting and emerging research area.
Display technologies, such as projectors, LCD and OLED flat panels, and even
flexible display substrates, coupled with input sensors capable of enabling
direct interaction, make it reasonable to envision a not-so-distant future
in which many surfaces in our environment from tabletops, walls and floors
will function as a digital interactive display. This cross-disciplinary
domain brings together different technologies and backgrounds such as camera
and projector based systems, new display technologies, multi-touch sensing,
user interface technologies, augmented reality, computer vision, multimodal
interaction, novel input and sensing technologies, computer supported
cooperative work (CSCW), and information visualization.
The intimate size of this single-track symposium provides an ideal venue for
leading researchers and practitioners to exchange research results and
implementation experiences. We encourage submissions on (but not limited to)
the following topic areas as they relate to interactive tabletops and
surfaces:
* Applications 
* Gesture-based interfaces
* Multi-modal interfaces
* Tangible interfaces
* Novel interaction techniques
* Data handling/exchange on large interactive surfaces
* Data presentation on large interactive surfaces
* User-interface technology
* Computer supported collaborative systems
* Middleware and network support
* Augmented reality
* Social protocols 
* Information visualizations
* Interactive surface hardware, including sensing and input technologies
* Human-centered design & methodologies

SUBMISSIONS
Papers/Notes: We invite paper submissions of two kinds: Papers (8 pages) and
Notes (4 pages) describing original research on investigations into tabletop
and interactive surface based systems. Papers must present original, highly
innovative, prospective and forward-looking research in one or more of the
themes given above. Notes must also report novel and complete research, but
where the scope and scale of the contribution is more focused and succinct
than Papers. Submissions must be submitted as a single PDF file in IEEE
Computer Science Press 8.5¡Ñ11 inch two-column format (not longer than eight
pages in length for Papers and four pages in length for Notes). All accepted
submissions will be presented at TIS'09 and appear in the TIS'09 proceedings
and be archived in the IEEE digital library.

Interactive Posters: Interactive Posters provide an interactive forum for
authors to present research prototypes and works in progress to conference
attendees. Extended abstracts describing the Interactive Poster must be
submitted as a single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5¡Ñ11 inch
two-column format (not longer than two pages in length). Interactive Poster
abstracts will not be published in the main conference proceedings, but will
be included in the adjunct CD. Authors of accepted Interactive Poster
abstracts are responsible for preparing an Interactive Poster to display /
demonstrate on site at the conference.  Interactive Posters focus more on
visual presentation and discussion between the author and attendees around
the poster.
