<div>ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ISS) 2016 </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>November 6-9, 2016</div>
<div>Niagara Falls, Canada</div>
<div>http://iss2016.acm.org/</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ACM ISS 2016), formerly known as</div>
<div>the ACM International Conference on Interactive Tabletops and</div>
<div>Surfaces (ITS), welcomes original, high-quality research and industry</div>
<div>contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the area of</div>
<div>interactive surfaces and spaces (including tabletops, large displays,</div>
<div>mobile, and mini devices). We embrace innovations in a wide variety of</div>
<div>areas including design, software, hardware, understanding of use, and</div>
<div>applications or deployments of interactive surfaces. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Call for Posters:</div>
<div>----------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The ISS 2016 poster program offers an engaging venue to present and discuss new</div>
<div>and developing research. Posters provide the opportunity for researchers to get</div>
<div>feedback on early-stage work, establish potential collaborations and discuss</div>
<div>the burning issues in ISS 2016 in an informal manner with the larger community</div>
<div>during the interactive poster session.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Work that is best suited for a poster submission includes - but is not limited</div>
<div>to - preliminary results, thought-provoking and current topics, novel</div>
<div>experiences and/or prototypes that have not been fully tested but show great</div>
<div>promise, summaries of small-scale studies, design-led explorations of</div>
<div>interactive tabletops, surfaces and spaces.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A poster submission will allow you to:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Have a poster displayed during the posters & demos reception at the ISS 2016</div>
<div> conference and get feedback from the conference attendees (there will also be</div>
<div> a Best Poster Award at the conference)</div>
<div>* Publish an extended abstract of the poster in the electronic conference</div>
<div> proceedings in the ACM DL</div>
<div>* Publish an optional video of up to 3 minutes long in electronic conference</div>
<div> proceedings in the ACM DL</div>
<div>* Introduce your poster alongside other authors in a plenary fast-forward</div>
<div> (madness) session at the conference</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>

</div>

</div>
<div>Preparing the Submission:</div>
<div>----------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All submissions must include:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* an extended abstract with a maximum of 6 pages in the 2014 SIGCHI Extended</div>
<div> Abstracts format</div>
<div>* a poster design -- each poster display will have a display space of</div>
<div> approximately 48 inches wide x 48 inches high, so your poster may not be any</div>
<div> larger than these dimensions. For example, an A0 poster (841mm x 1189mm, or</div>
<div> 33inch x 47inch) in portrait orientation fits within the space</div>
<div>* a short video of up to 3 minutes long and at most 50 MB in size (optional)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The maximum page limit for the extended abstract is 6 pages and includes all</div>
<div>figures and references, and must be in the 2014 SIGCHI Extended Abstracts</div>
<div>Format (http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform). This format utilizes</div>
<div>the "Lastname, F.M." author-name reference style, not the more recent</div>
<div>"Firstname M. Lastname" convention. The extended abstract should include a</div>
<div>concise description of the idea, the results or findings, supporting imagery</div>
<div>and figures, and a discussion of the implications of the work to the selected</div>
<div>domain. Full literature searches are not expected, although relevant citations</div>
<div>should be included.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your poster should be designed to effectively communicate your research</div>
<div>problem, technique, and results. In particular, you should highlight what is</div>
<div>novel and important about your work. The reviewers will provide feedback and</div>
<div>guidance on your poster design, so it is in your best interest as an author to</div>
<div>put effort into your poster design. However, note that only the extended</div>
<div>abstract will be published in the ACM DL.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The reviewing of abstracts will be single-blind -- that is, your submission</div>
<div>should *not* be anonymized but reviewers will remain anonymous to you. As there</div>
<div>is only one week after notifications to the final camera-ready deadline, it is</div>
<div>not possible to make large changes before the camera-ready deadline. Final</div>
<div>camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be accompanied by a signed</div>
<div>copyright form which will be provided to accepted authors. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div>All submissions conflicting with one or more guidelines will be removed before</div>
<div>the reviewing process to assure that all posters can be reviewed and published</div>
<div>on-time.</div>
<div>------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your extended abstract, poster design and optional video should be submitted by</div>
<div>September 2, 2016 to the Precision Conference System. The abstract and poster</div>
<div>design must be in PDF format.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Reviewing:</div>
<div>----------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Posters abstracts will be reviewed by the poster chairs with the help of</div>
<div>members of the ISS 2016 Posters Committee (see below). Confidentiality of</div>
<div>submissions is maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions</div>
<div>will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted</div>
<div>submissions will be kept confidential until the start of the conference.</div>

<div>a dedicated poster session, the author(s) will have the opportunity to present</div>
<div>and discuss their poster with conference attendees.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The posters themselves have no predefined formatting, but they must fit within</div>
<div>a 48" x 48" area.</div>

<div>Final Submission:</div>
<div>----------------------------</div>

<div>(including the new copyright notice) through the submission system by September</div>
