ACM ISS 2021: Call for participation (CfP): Papers
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ACM ISS 2021 has two separate reviewing rounds with separate deadlines.
This is the call for the winter round.

ISS 2021 Papers Winter Round: Important Dates AoE (Anywhere on Earth)
Submission due: February 28
Notifications to authors: April 23
Revisions due: May 21
Final decisions to authors: June 9
Camera-ready due: October 1
ISS 2021: November 14-17

There will be another call for ACM ISS 2021, also called the papers
summer round.
Important dates for the papers summer round are presented further down.

ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ACM ISS) is the premier venue for
research on the design, development and use of new and emerging
interactive surface technologies and interactive spaces. ACM ISS
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 our
traditional scope ? 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.

ISS 2021 will be a hybrid event:
Accepted papers are invited to present at the conference, and authors
can choose whether or not they wish to present. Because of the evolving
situation with COVID-19 and the difficulties of running a physical
in-person conference, ACM ISS will allow remote participation. While we
do not know what the exact format of the conference will be, we will
ensure everyone can present their papers at ISS.

Publication model: PACMHCI journal:
Starting last year, ISS switched to a journal model of publication. This
year, there will be two submission rounds: winter round and summer
round, with separate deadlines. Papers published by the Proceedings of
the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACMHCI),
https://dl.acm.org/journal/pacmhci , accepted in both rounds will be
invited for presentation at the ISS 2021 conference.
The conference retains its workshop, poster, and demo tracks, which will
have their own publication outlet. The call for workshops, posters, and
demos will be included in the summer round.
Submissions will be done through http://new.precisionconference.com

Submissions:
Submissions to PACMHCI ISS should present original and mature research
work. High-quality, elaborated case studies and practice reports with
generalizable findings will also be considered. Papers should be written
using a template provided by PACMHCI,
https://dl.acm.org/journal/pacmhci/submission-templates .
Submissions should be anonymized. Primarily, this means that submissions
must remove all author and institutional information from the title and
header area of the first page. Author information should also be removed
from submitted supplementary materials, in particular, videos.
Submissions that do not do so may be rejected without review.
Furthermore, all references must remain intact. If you previously
published a paper and your current submission builds on that work, the
complete reference with the author's name must appear in the references.
Authors must refer to their previous work in the third person (e.g., ?We
build on prior work by Smith et al. [X] but generalize their algorithm
to new settings.?) and avoid blank references (e.g., ?12. REMOVED FOR
REVIEWING?). Further suppression of identity in the body of the paper
(for example, in an Acknowledgements section), while encouraged, is left
to the authors? discretion.

Paper Length:
We recommend a page length in the new format of between 5-15 pages + any
additional pages for references. There are no length restrictions on
papers, however, reviewers will put the length of any submitted paper in
context of the provided contribution when making decisions about
acceptance and revisions.

Revisions:
The associate editors will make decisions for any submitted papers as
either accepted, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejected. These
notifications will then be sent to authors. If the initial decision is
"minor revisions", the authors will revise their paper within this
round. After the revised paper is submitted, the final decisions will be
sent to authors a few weeks later. If the initial decision is "major
revisions", the paper must be submitted in the next round to guarantee
treatment as a revision, meaning that the same primary and secondary
board members will be assigned to continuously handle the submission.
Submissions requiring "major revisions" will not submit their revision
within the current round, to allow extra time for any significant new
work, such as conducting a new evaluation, before acceptance is
possible. This means that papers accepted in the winter or summer round
will be able to present their paper at ISS of the same year. A paper
submitted in the summer round that received a major revision decision
will not present at ISS of the same year but might present at ISS of the
next year if accepted in the following winter round.

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):
? Large display interfaces and multi-display environments
? Gesture-based interfaces (hands, finger, body)
? Multimodal interfaces
? Tangible user interfaces
? Novel interaction techniques and paradigms
? Interaction with mobile and body-worn devices
? Different materials and form factors: curved, sand, water, ...
? Interactive 3D spaces (Mixed Reality and Augmented 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, ...
? Interactive information visualization/data presentation
? 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.)
