AVI 2014 – International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces
in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI, SIGWEB, SIGMM, SIGCHI Italy
May 27-30, 2014 - Como, Italy
http://avi2014.deib.polimi.it
FINAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The 12th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI
2014) will be held in Como (Italy) at the campus of Politecnico di
Milano, from May 27th to 30th, 2014. Started in 1992 in Rome, AVI has
become a biannual appointment for a wide International community of
experts with a broad range of backgrounds, who share the interest in the
investigation, design, development, and evaluation of innovative
interactive solutions impacting our world at individual and societal
level. Through more than two decades, the Conference has contributed to
the progress of Human-Computer Interaction, offering a forum to present
and disseminate new technological results, new paradigms and new visions
for interaction and interfaces. AVI 2014 offers a wide variety of
submission types to suit many types of interests and works. They include
full and short research papers, demos, industry papers, and workshops.
Theoretical and formal approaches, novel methodologies, domain-specific
applications, empirical studies, new technological solutions, and
industrial achievements fit well into the framework of the conference.
The program also includes a number of prestigious invited talks as well
social events at magnificent villas on the Como lake.
KEYNOTES SPEAKERS
Gregory D. Abowd
School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology (USA)
Gregory D. Abowd is the Distinguished Professor in the School of
Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. His research interests concern
how the advanced information technologies of ubiquitous computing impact
our everyday lives when they are seamlessly integrated into our living
spaces. http://www.gregoryabowd.com/
Piotr Adamczyk and Amit Sood
Google Art Project, Google (USA)
Google Art Project is an initiative aiming at bridging ICT and the world
of cultural heritage. Many prestigious institutions are currently
involved, digitally exhibiting their works and their buildings to a wide
audience. Virtual visits to museums, in particular, are likely to set a
new standard about users expectations for interaction and virtual
spaces. Look at one example of virtual visit:

Studio Azzurro (Italy)
Founded in 1982, Studio Azzurro is an internationally known group of
artists who pioneered interactive visual art. Their artistic research
explores the poetic and expressive capability of technology to create
interactive visual spaces and sensitive reactive environments that often
involve theatrical performance. Studio Azzurro installations have been
presented in major exhibition venues (including Biennale Arte in Venice,
Documenta in Kassel, and EXPO in Shanghai) and can be experienced in
major museums in all continents. http://www.studioazzurro.com/index.php
COMO
Como is located approximately 45 km North of downtown Milano and few km
South of the Swiss border. The town and its area are renowned for their
natural and cultural heritage that amazed generations of travellers,
writers, and painters, and for the great number of cultural events that
are organized here. The nearby unspoilt valleys and wild natural
environments are full of opportunities for mountain lovers who can try
out every kind of experience that this natural setting can offer. The
wonderful lake, where visitors can enjoy a variety of trips and
activities, is famous for its villas, its florid parks and secular
trees, and its VIP guests. Como and its surroundings are rich in art and
history, including museums, archaeological sites, architectural venues
from old Romanesque churches to Rationalist buildings. Music and theatre
play an important role in the cultural heritage of the area, where
international events are organized. For shopping, visitors can find
every kind of silk products, and visit silk factories or shops at
concept stores.

Maximum length of full papers is 8 pages. Maximum length of short papers
is 4 pages. Accepted full and short research papers will be included in
the Proceedings published by ACM Press and will be available in the ACM
Digital Library.
DEMO PAPERS
Demo papers (up to 2 pages) describe previously un-presented prototypes
and systems and will be accompanied by a demonstration during a
dedicated session at the conference. Demo paper submissions must include
a description of hardware and software requirements on a separate sheet.
Demonstrators will use their personal equipment. Accepted demo
submissions will be included in the Proceedings published by ACM Press
and will be available in the ACM Digital Library.
INDUSTRY PAPERS
Industry papers (up to 2 pages) address topics which are particularly
relevant to the industrial world and are not necessarily intended to
present research work only. Preferably, they are co-authored by at least
one person from industry. Contributions concerning (amongst others)
challenging research and development, innovative business cases, market
insights, industrial research strategy, showcases and case studies, best
practices and lessons learned, are welcomed. Accepted submissions will
be included in the Adjunct Proceedings of the Conference.
WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
AVI 2014 will be a forum for workshops on emerging as well as
established topics relevant to interface research and practice. The aims
of workshops are to offer an opportunity to meet in the context of a
focused and interactive discussion, to develop understanding, to
exchange experiences, to build research communities and to pave the
ground towards future developments. Workshops should ideally foster
discussion and exchange rather than being miniaturized conference
sessions. Workshops will be held on Tuesday May 27, 2014. A workshop may
be half-day or full day in length, and typically have 15 to 20
participants. The extended abstract of the workshops and a selection of
the best position papers will appear in the conference proceedings and
in the ACM Digital Library. Persons interested in participating to an
accepted workshop can submit a position paper to the organizers of that
workshop, but workshop participation will be open to any AVI 2014
participant, upon place availability.
Please refer to AVI2014 web site for the suggested format of workshop
proposals
