ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ISS) 2016

November 6-9, 2016
Niagara Falls, Canada

http://iss2016.acm.org/


ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ACM ISS 2016), formerly known as
the ACM International Conference on Interactive Tabletops and
Surfaces (ITS) is being held in Niagara Falls, Canada from November
6-9, 2016. ISS welcomes original, high-quality research and industry
contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the area of
interactive surfaces and spaces (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.


Call for Demos:
----------------------------

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 inter-
active forum for lively discussions and hands-on experiences.

Copyright to ISS demo videos and abstracts is retained by the authors, and the
material from them can be used as the basis for future publications as long as
there are "significant" revisions from the original. However, submissions that
include an extended abstract will be included in the ACM Digital Library so
other researchers are able to find, read, and cite them.

A demo submission will allow you to:

* Show your demonstration during the posters & demos reception at the ISS 2016
  conference and get feedback from the conference attendees (there will also be
  a Best Demo Award at the conference)
* Publish an extended abstract of the demo in the electronic conference
  proceedings in the ACM DL
* Publish an optional video of up to 3 minutes long in electronic conference
  proceedings in the ACM DL
* Introduce your demo alongside other authors in a plenary fast-forward
  (madness) session at the conference

Call for Posters:
----------------------------

The ISS 2016 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, establish potential collaborations and discuss
the burning issues in ISS 2016 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 2016
  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 DL
* Publish an optional video of up to 3 minutes long in electronic conference
  proceedings in the ACM DL
* Introduce your poster alongside other authors in a plenary fast-forward
  (madness) session at the conference

Call for Participation: Doctoral Symposium
----------------------------

The ISS Doctoral Symposium is a forum in which Ph.D. students can meet
and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced
Interactive Surface researchers in an informal and interactive
setting. The panel will provide advice about completing  a doctorate
degree, and about the job search which follows, both in academia and
in industry.

Students should submit a paper that describes:
- the problem that the thesis aims to address;
- the broad approach and how it builds upon and goes beyond the most
central of relevant previous work;
- the work completed and
- the plan for the full dissertation work.

Completed work may be presented as an overview or highlighting a
particularly important part in depth. Doctoral Symposium papers will
be published  in the ISS conference companion distributed at the
conference.  Each submission will be reviewed by both DS chairs to
assess its  suitability for the DS, as well as additional expert
reviewers when necessary. This will be based on whether the work is
sufficiently  mature to present but still early enough for the student
to benefit  from the feedback and experience.

Accepted students will present their work to the DS chairs and expert
reviewers  and participate in an intensive, all-day workshop around
ISS  research. Accepted students will also present a research Poster
during  the main ISS poster session to share their work with the
larger ISS community. They will also have free ISS 2016 conference
registration.  The Doctoral Symposium will take place at the
conference venue on Sunday, November 6, 2016 (for accepted students
and invited experts only!).
