*Second Call for Participation: Papers & Notes*

*ACM Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces 2014*

*Dresden, Germany, November 16-19,*

http://www.its2014.org



Sponsored by the ACM's special interest group on computer-human interaction
(SIGCHI), ITS has been established as a premier venue for research in the
design, development and use of new and emerging interactive surface
technologies. This year’s conference will be held at the Hilton Hotel right
in the heart of beautiful Dresden, Germany from Nov. 16-19, 2014.



ITS 2014 welcomes original, high-quality research and industry
contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the area of interactive
surfaces (including tabletops, large displays, mobile, and mini devices).
We embrace innovations in a wide variety of areas including design,
software, hardware, understanding of use, and applications or deployments
of interactive surfaces.



*Important Dates*

·       June 30, 5:00 p.m. PDT: Deadline for initial submissions

·       August 22 : First-round notifications

·       Sept 17: Camera-ready Deadline



*Paper Submissions*

We invite paper submissions of papers (max 10 pages) and notes (max 4
pages) of two possible types: academic and application (read on for an
explanation of the difference).



All papers and notes must be submitted as a single PDF file in the ACM
SIGCHI format (http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform) through the
submission system http://precisionconference.com/~sigchi (available May 1).
When appropriate, authors are also encouraged to submit supplementary
materials such as video or data.



Papers and Notes will undergo a high-quality peer-review process by a
committee of recognised experts (see program committee members below) to be
presented at the ITS conference, be included in the conference proceedings,
and be archived in the ACM Digital Library. ITS does not accept submissions
that were published previously in formally reviewed publications or that
are currently submitted elsewhere. Papers and Notes go through the same
review process.



Notes (both academic and application) must also report complete work, but
with a more focused and succinct contribution than papers. For more details
on academic and application papers see: http://www.its2014.org/authors/



ITS 2014 will have a “Best of ITS” awards program, in accordance with
SIGCHI guidelines. Approximately 5% of submissions may receive “Honorable
Mentions” of which the top 1% may receive “Best Paper/Note” awards.
Additionally, a best student paper will be awarded among papers whose first
author is a student, and where the student has performed the majority of
the work.



*Academic Papers (and Notes)*

Academic papers must present original, innovative, and forward-looking
research. This kind of papers corresponds to the standard scientific track
of most HCI conferences.



*Application Papers (and Notes)*

Application papers are open to industrial and academic authors, and will
successfully demonstrate how surface interaction has been applied to real
world problems and usage contexts beyond research labs, but without
necessarily including original software, hardware, interaction techniques,
or a formal study. For example, industry members can submit papers to share
customer outcomes and iterative improvements over next-best alternatives.



Application papers are published in the same format and way as academic
papers (will be presented during the main conference program, will be
archived in the ACM Digital Library which provides free access through
its Author-Izer
service*, and are free to publish), although they are reviewed through a
slightly different process based on a rubric. For more information see
http://www.its2014.org/Authors/



First-time submitters in the application track are encouraged to apply for
paper guidance well in advance of the submission deadline if deemed
necessary (write to [log in to unmask]).



*Topic Areas*

The conference welcomes contributions that deal with a variety of
interactive surfaces including tabletops, interactive wall displays,
portable and micro devices, and deformable surfaces. We encourage
submissions on (but not limited to) the following topic areas as they
relate to interactive surfaces:


   -  Applications and/or evaluations of interactive surfaces in specific
   domains (public spaces, education, science, business, entertainment,
   health, accessibility, homes, etc.)
   - Gesture-based interfaces
   - Multi-modal interfaces
   - Tangible interfaces
   - Large display interfaces and multi-display environments
   - Novel interaction techniques
   - Information visualization/data presentation
   - Software engineering methods and frameworks
   - Computer supported collaborative work
   - Virtual reality and augmented reality
   - Social protocols
   - Hardware, including sensing and input technologies with novel
   capabilities
   - Human-centered design and methodologies

*Review Process*

All papers and notes will be reviewed by at least two external reviewers
and a member of the program committee. After the first review cycle a
submission will receive either a “Conditional Accept”, “Revise”, or
“Reject” decision. Some papers will be invited to do significant revisions.
Authors of papers with a “revise” decision will have several weeks to
revise and resubmit their work between August 22 and September 8 and should
therefore allocate time for this part of the process.



This is not an invitation to submit extended abstracts or incomplete
papers. As in the past, submit the paper that you would like to have
published. Incomplete or otherwise non-competitive submissions will be
desk-rejected without review.



*Submission Information*

Submissions should use the format shown in the conference template.
Submissions should be converted to PDF and uploaded to the Precision
Conference system at
https://precisionconference.com/~sigchi/<https://precisionconference.com/~sigchi/>
 *by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 30, 2014*. The PCS system will
be open for uploading submissions beginning on May 1. Application and
academic papers will be submitted in different tracks.



When appropriate (such as for submissions introducing novel systems or
interaction techniques), authors are encouraged to submit a supplementary
video file (not to exceed 3 minutes in length and 50 MB in size).

*All submissions should be anonymized for double-blind review. *This means
that your paper and any supplementary video materials should have authors’
names and affiliations removed and should avoid obvious identifying
features. Citations to your own relevant work should not be anonymous, but
please cite such work without identifying yourself as the author. For
example, say “Prior work by Smith et al. [1]” instead of “In my prior work.”

Confidentiality of submitted material will be maintained. Upon acceptance,
the titles, authorship, and abstracts of papers and notes will be published
online in the advance program. Submissions should contain no information or
material that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of
publication, and should cite no publication that will be proprietary or
confidential at that time. Final versions of accepted Papers and Notes must
be formatted according to the instructions we provide. Copyright release
forms must be signed for inclusion in the proceedings and in the ACM
Digital Library.



*Other Submission Types*

Please also consider submissions to further ITS 2014 submission categories
with later deadlines and separate calls including:


   - Demos, Posters
   - Workshops, Tutorials, Studios
   - Doctoral Symposium

* ACM Author-Izer is a unique service that enables ACM authors to generate
and post links on either their home page or institutional repository for
visitors to download the definitive version of their articles from the ACM
Digital Library at no charge.

Downloads through Author-Izer links are captured in official ACM
statistics, improving the accuracy of usage and impact measurements.
Consistently linking the definitive version of ACM article should reduce
user confusion over article versioning.

After your article has been published and assigned to your ACM Author
Profile page, please visit
