ISS 2017 - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: WORKSHOPS 
Interacting with Surfaces and Spaces 
Brighton, UK, October 17-20, 2017 
http://iss2017.acm.org/authors/workshops/

Important Dates
May 19, 2017, 5:00 p.m. PDT: Deadline for proposal submissions June 1, 2017: Notifications August 21, 2017: Final camera-ready submissions for workshop proposals October 17, 2017: Workshop Day

We invite researchers and practitioners working in the field of interactive surfaces and spaces to submit workshop proposals for ISS 2017. ISS Workshops provide a unique opportunity to discuss ideas, challenges and new work around more specific topics in the area interactive spaces and surfaces. 

We welcome proposals from a large variety of topics and domains. Examples topics include but are not limited to: 
- Multi-touch on mobile devices
- Large (wall-sized) surfaces
- Surfaces in public spaces, workplaces, homes
- Surfaces in domain-specific environments (e.g., safety critical, education, games)
- Information or scientific visualization on interactive surfaces
- Shape-changing surfaces and spaces
- ... and other exciting topics!

All workshops will take place on October 17, 2017 (one day before the start of the conference) and will run for either half a day or the full day. Workshop organizers will receive one complimentary conference registration and one or two complimentary workshop registrations (one for half-day, two for full-day workshops). Workshops can be open (free to anyone who registered for it) or closed (attendees need to submit position papers). Please indicate the length and type of workshop in your proposal (see below). Accepted workshop proposals will be part of the ISS conference proceedings and available in the ACM Digital Library. 

*Submitting a Workshop Proposal*
We request a short proposal (up to 4 pages, excluding references) in the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts publication format  as well as an additional information sheet about the particular workshop requirements (1 page). 

Please include the following information in your 4-page workshop proposal:
- Workshop title
- Full contact information of all workshop organizers and the main contact person
- Topic, nature and goals of the workshop
- Relevance of the workshop to the ISS community
- Topics and planned activities covered in the workshop and planned activities
- Program Committee members for the workshop (if applicable)

Please include one additional information page (in addition to the 4-page proposal) with the following information:
- A call-for-papers to your workshop (200 words max.)
- Link to the workshop website
- Proposed workshop length (half-day or full-day)
- Workshop type (open or closed)
- Room requirements: tables, chairs, projector configuration, whiteboards, etc.
- Maximum number of people

Please submit the workshop proposal using the ISS Precision Conference system (https://new.precisionconference.com/sigchi) by the deadline on May 19, 2017.

*Responsibilities of Workshop Organizers* Workshop organizers are expected to organize and facilitate all proposed workshop activities. We suggest the page limit for workshop papers to be 4-6 pages excluding references using the 2016 SIGCHI Extended Abstracts publication format, but it is up to the organizers to make this decision. It is an option for all workshops to have accepted workshop papers included in the companion ISS conference proceedings (in non-archival form), which will be available in the ACM Digital Library. It is the responsibility of the workshops organizers to inform the workshop chairs, if the accepted workshop paper submissions should be excluded from the ACM Digital Library. 

Workshop organizers will be asked to:
- Organize and manage the review of submitted workshop papers (e.g. through a reviewing system such as EasyChair)
- Set a workshop paper submission deadline (the recommended deadline is August 14, 2017) and an author notification date (September 1, latest). We will provide workshop organizers a special code for early bird registration that they can provide in the accepted notification to authors.
- Provide the meta-data of all the accepted papers to the workshop chairs by September 10 (latest).
- Submit the final camera ready workshop papers by the deadline set by ACM.
