 CALL FOR POSTERS, DEMOS, VIDEOS -- UBICOMP 2013

Dear colleagues,  

We would like to draw your attention to the call for posters, demos and videos 
of the 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous 
Computing (UbiComp 2013).  The plain text of the call is provided below. For 
further information please visit:

Apologies to those of you who have received this message multiple times.

Best,

=====================

CALL FOR POSTERS, DEMOS, VIDEOS -- UBICOMP 2013

Posters, demos, and videos are an important part of UbiComp 2013 program.  They 
provide researchers with an opportunity to present their latest, cutting-edge 
research.  Posters, demos, and videos can: cover preliminary or exploratory 
work within the field of ubiquitous and pervasive computing; report about 
smaller projects or results that are still maturing towards a full paper 
submission; or present any other research that would encourage discussion.

SUBMISSION

The basis of UbiComp 2013 poster, demo, or video submissions is a 2-page 
extended abstract (including all figures and references) prepared using the 
UbiComp ACM Word or Latex template. Submissions must not be anonymized! 
Additional material is also required, as detailed below.

Extended abstracts and all additional material should be submitted to the 
UbiComp Online Submission System (PCS) at: 
http://www.precisionsconference.com/~ubicomp/. All accepted submissions will be 
included in UbiComp 2013 Adjunct Proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library.

Please make sure that your submitted abstract complies with all the formatting 
guidelines and is ready for publication, since there will be no time to make 
major revisions.

MULTI-PRESENTATION SUBMISSION PROCESS

The UbiComp 2013 Adjunct Program continues the multimodal submission process 
from previous years, which encourages the submission of integrated 
contributions presenting a combination of posters, demos, and videos.  This 
approach provides conference participants with more opportunities to showcase 
and discuss their work with other attendees.  A multimodal submission also 
increases its chances of acceptance.  If you submit your work to multiple 
tracks, the individual formats will be reviewed independently according to the 
criteria of each track.  Making a combined poster, demo and video submission 
thus gives you three chances at acceptance!

Please note even in case of an integrated submission, exactly one extended 
abstract must be prepared.

DETAILED SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

All submission formats have the same dates for notification of acceptance and 
camera-ready submission.  However, they feature different submission deadlines. 
 In case of a multi-presentation submission, the earliest deadline needs to be 
followed.


POSTERS

Submission deadline: June 2, 2013
Notification of acceptance: June 16, 2013
Camera-ready version due: June 23, 2013

UbiComp 2013 poster submissions should include:
* A 2-page extended abstract (for details about template and submission see the 
"Submission" section above).  The abstract should describe the research ideas 
or results that will be presented at the conference and it should discuss the 
novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches that it brings to the Ubiquitous 
Computing community.  The abstract should be self-contained, i.e., it must be 
understandable even without seeing the poster.
* A draft of the actual poster that will be presented at the conference.

Poster submissions should not be anonymized!

If you have any further inquiries, please contact 
posters2... at ubicomp.org<mailto:posters2... at ubicomp.org>

We look forward to seeing you at UbiComp 2013!

DEMOS

Submission deadline: May 26, 2013
Notification of acceptance: June 16, 2013
Camera-ready version due: June 23, 2013

UbiComp 2013 demo submissions should contain the following documents:
* A 2-page extended abstract (for details about template and submission see the 
"Submission" section above).
* Additional material that details how the demo will be executed in practice, 
and how visitors will interact with it during the conference. The submission of 
an illustrative video is strongly encouraged. Additional description material 
may include a short usage scenario, storyboard sketches, screenshots, 
illustrations, and photos. The additional material should illustrate the 
strategy chosen by the authors to present the main points to visitors in a 
short time.
* A description of the technical requirements of the demo, such as the 
preferred settings (lighting, acoustical constraints), the space requirements, 
a layout diagram, the power supply needed, the wired or wireless networking 
requirements, and any other special requirements. The conference will at 
minimum provide you with a space for your demo, including a table, chairs, and 
a power connection (230V). (Participants should bring any special equipment or 
devices such as power converters, projectors or audio amplification.)
Demo submissions (i.e. the abstract, additional material and the description of 
technical requirements) should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file 
through the Precision Conference submission system, as detailed above.

If the additional material contains video files or any other multimedia 
material, a single ZIP file may be used instead that contains both the PDF and 
those additional files. Links to online files (video, images, etc.) can also be 
included in the PDF submission.

Additional materials are for the purposes of review only and will not be 
published (i.e., only the abstract will be included in the UbiComp 2013 Adjunct 
Proceedings). Upon acceptance you will be required to install your 
demonstration in the conference venue and to keep it running for at least one 
session (subject to the final conference schedule).

Demo submissions should not be anonymized!

If you have any further inquiries, please contact 
demos2... at ubicomp.org<mailto:demos2... at ubicomp.org>

VIDEOS

Submission deadline: May 26, 2013
Notification of acceptance: June 16, 2013
Camera-ready version due: June 23, 2013

UbiComp 2013 welcomes the contribution of videos illustrating inspiring visions 
of future systems that are grounded in today's technical reality, demonstrate 
the practical application of research results and the functionality of 
ubiquitous computing systems.  We also welcome contributions that visualize the 
outcome of research and development projects that are not directly or 
exclusively linked to a specific system.  We encourage the submission of videos 
either as new material or as supplemental to paper submissions (e.g., in order 
to illustrate particular aspects of a system).  In order to be eligible, videos 
should not have been previously presented in any other formal video program.

At the conference, the video program will be interleaved into the regular paper 
program.  Video authors will have a chance to answer questions from the 
audience after their video is presented.

A UbiComp 2013 video submission should include:
* A 2-page extended abstract (for details about template and submission see the 
"Submission" section above).
* A self-explanatory video: The video should not require the viewer to read the 
abstract.

The video should adhere to these guidelines:
* Format: Accepted formats include MPEG4 (e.g. H264 codecs) and Apple 
QuickTime. However, MPEG4 format is strongly encouraged.
* Resolution: At least VGA size (640 x 480 pixel). Wide-screen is also 
acceptable.
* Length: between 3-8 minutes.
* Size: No larger than 200 MB.

Submissions (i.e., the 2-page abstract plus the video) should be submitted 
online through the PCS submission system as a single ZIP file that contains 
both the PDF and the video file.
Videos will be judged primarily on the quality of their content, the clarity of 
their presentation, quality of production, their interest and relevance to 
UbiComp.  If the video is accepted, a high-quality format, suitable for DVD 
production, will be required for the final version.  The authors will have to 
grant UbiComp 2013 the right to redistribute it freely, which means that it 
must not contain any material subject to copyright.

Video submissions should not be anonymized!

Videos from previous years can be found in the ACM Digital Library.  Should you 
have any questions regarding potential submissions, including copyright issues, 
please contact the UbiComp 2013 video chairs at 
video2... at ubicomp.org<mailto:video2... at ubicomp.org>

We look forward to seeing you at UbiComp 2013!
