*ACM ISS 2019 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PAPERS & NOTES* https://iss.acm.org/2019/authors/papers/ *Important Dates* - Abstract Submission: 28 June 2019 (5:00 p.m. PDT) - Complete Paper Submission: 5 July 2019 (5:00 p.m. PDT) - Author Notifications: 23 August 2019 - Camera-Ready Deadline: 8 September 2019 - ISS 2019 Conference: 10-13 November 2019 ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ACM ISS 2019) (https://iss.acm.org/2019), being held in Daejeon, South Korea this year, is the premier venue for research in the design, development, and use of new and emerging interactive surface technologies and interactive spaces. ACM ISS 2019 welcomes original, high-quality research and industry contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the area of interactive surfaces, interactive spaces and novel interface technologies. Beyond the traditional scope of the conference – i.e., interactive tabletops, large displays, multi-display systems, mobile and mini devices – we also encourage contributions focused on the use of space and technology around us to bridge the gap between our digital and everyday lives, such as interactive 3D spaces, on-body sensors, interactive art or interactive architecture. We also encourage contributions focused on understanding individual and group needs related to interactive surfaces and interactive spaces, and the impact on individuals and groups of these technologies. We embrace innovations in a wide variety of areas including design, software, hardware, understanding of use, and applications or deployments of such interactive systems. *Topic Areas* The conference welcomes contributions on a wide range of topics relating to interactive surfaces and spaces as well as novel interface technologies, including (but not limited to): - Real-world applications of interactive surfaces and/or spaces in specific domains (public spaces, education, science, business, entertainment, health, art, homes, etc.) - Large display interfaces and multi-display environments - Gesture-based interfaces (hands, finger, body) - Multi-modal interfaces - Tangible user interfaces - Novel interaction techniques and paradigms - Interaction with mobile and body-worn devices - Non-traditional interactive surfaces such as curved, sand, and water interfaces - Interactive 3D spaces (Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality, mid-air displays, ...) - Large scale and outdoor interactive spaces (projected interfaces, drones, ...) - Interactive architecture - Beyond traditional surfaces: shape-changing and actuated surfaces, body-related... - Information visualization / data presentation with interactive surfaces and spaces - Software engineering methods and frameworks - Social aspects and protocols related to interacting with surfaces and spaces - Interactive surfaces and spaces that support group work or social interaction - Hardware, including sensing and input technologies with novel capabilities, and results from maker communities - Human-centered design and methodologies related to interactive surfaces and spaces - Empirical evaluations of novel interactive surfaces and/or spaces designs - Evaluations of deployed interactive surfaces and/or spaces in specific domains (public spaces, education, science, business, entertainment, health, art, homes, etc.) *Program Chairs* Gerard Jounghyun Kim - Korea University Stacey Scott - University of Guelph, Canada Melanie Tory - Tableau Software, USA email contact: program2019@iss.acm.org === *ACM ISS 2019 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: POSTERS* https://iss.acm.org/2019/authors/posters/ *Important Dates* - July 31, 2019: Deadline for submissions - August 23, 2019: Author Notifications - August 30, 2019: Deadline for invited submissions from paper/note track - September 8, 2019: Camera-Ready Deadline *General Information* We invite submissions to the poster category of ISS 2019. The ISS 2019 poster program offers an engaging venue to present and discuss new and developing research. Posters provide the opportunity for researchers to get feedback on early-stage work and work-in-progress, to establish potential collaborations and to discuss the burning issues in ISS 2019 in an informal manner with the larger community during the interactive poster session. Work that is best suited for a poster submission includes - but is not limited to - preliminary results, thought-provoking and current topics, novel experiences and/or prototypes that have not been fully tested but show great promise, summaries of small-scale studies, design-led explorations of interactive tabletops, surfaces and spaces. A poster submission will allow you to: - Have a poster displayed during the posters & demos reception at the ISS 2019 conference and get feedback from the conference attendees (there will also be a Best Poster Award at the conference). - Publish an extended abstract of the poster in the electronic conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Publish an optional video of up to 3 minutes long in electronic conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. - Introduce your poster alongside other authors in a plenary fast-forward madness session at the conference (30 seconds presentation). *Posters Co-Chairs* Tony Tang, University of Calgary Andrea Bianchi, KAIST If you have questions about Posters for ISS 2019, contact the Poster Chairs posters2019@iss.acm.org === *ACM ISS 2019 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: DEMOS* https://iss.acm.org/2019/authors/demos/ *Important Dates* - Deadline for submissions: July 31 - Author Notifications: August 23 - Author Notifications (papers): August 23 - Deadline for invited submissions from paper/note track: August 30 - Camera-Ready Deadline: September 8 *General Information* The ISS demo session provides a great opportunity for authors to present their prototypes, products and applications to conference attendees. We will provide a large area in which you will be able to showcase your best interactive experiences and commercial products. Our goal is to provide a highly interactive forum for lively discussions and hands-on experiences. What are we looking for? Creative and innovative technologies and applications in interactive surfaces and spaces, including displays, input and sensing technologies, interaction techniques, shape-changing devices, computer vision applications, audio – speech interfaces, wearable devices, visualization techniques, interfaces for public spaces and more. Also demos from industry (i.e. commercial applications and products) are highly encouraged. What are the benefits? You will get the opportunity to present your exciting projects and ideas to experts from both academia and industry during the conference. Your submission will be published and indexed as an extended abstract in the ACM digital library. How we will evaluate? Demo abstracts will be reviewed and selected by the demo chairs. Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until the start of the conference. Abstracts of invited demos from paper/note track will not be reviewed. We will focus on interactive and exciting demos. We want to showcase interactive technologies from all over the world and create a highly exciting event. We thus encourage resubmission of existing and exciting demos. *Demo Co-Chairs* If you have questions about Demos for ISS 2019, contact the Demo Chairs: Michel Pahud, Microsoft Research Seongkook Heo, University of Toronto Jaemin Jo, Seoul National University demos2019@iss.acm.org
