AVI 2010: CALL FOR PAPERS

CALL FOR PAPERS AVI 2010 Advanced Visual Interfaces International Working Conference In cooperation with ACM-SIGCHI, ACM-SIGMM, SIGCHI Italy May 25-29, 2010 - Roma, Italy http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~avi2010 The 10th International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI2010) will be held in Rome, Italy, May 25-29, 2010. Started in 1992 in Rome, and held every two years in different Italian towns, the Conference brings together experts in different areas of computer science who have a common interest in the conception, design, and implementation of visual and, more generally, perceptual interfaces. Through these 18 years, the Conference has witnessed the growing interest within the community for new interaction paradigms and new devices such as smartphones and PDAs, in the framework of both traditional and emerging environments, such as ubiquitous and pervasive computer applications. Both formal methods and concrete applications well fit into the framework of the conference, whose program also includes invited talks, given by leaders in the field. Submissions are solicited in the broad list of areas given below, with special emphasis on the following specific topics, without being limited to them. OVERALL CATEGORIES Interaction models and techniques Interactive visualization Interactive systems User interaction studies TOPICS Accessibility and Usability End-User Development Adaptive Interfaces HCI and Web 2.0 Animated Interfaces Information Visualization Interfaces Cognitive Models of the User Interface Evaluation Computer Supported Cooperative Work Interface Metaphors Context Aware Interaction Mapbased Interaction Controlled Studies and Usability Testing Mobile Interaction Design Digital Media Environments Multimodal Interfaces Natural Interaction New Media and Cultural Heritage Perceptual Interfaces Tools for Design Virtual and Augmented Reality Visual Analytics Interfaces Visual Databases Visual Information Access Visual Interaction Visual Interface Design Web Interfaces Web-Based Social Interaction IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission deadline: December 14, 2009 Paper Submission deadline: December 21, 2009 Acceptance Notification: February 15, 2010 Camera-ready Papers due: March 15, 2010 Demo software due: May 14, 2010 AVI 2010 Conference: May 25-29, 2010 SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM Submissions that address research and development on the above and other related topics, or that propose new approaches suitable for fulfilling the demands that characterize advanced interfaces of the next generation are strongly encouraged. Three kinds of contribution are solicited: - Research papers, describing original and unpublished work, up to 8 pages in ACM SIG Proceedings format. - Poster papers, describing promising work in progress, up to 4 pages in ACM SIG Proceedings format. - System papers (prototypes demonstrations), up to 2 pages in ACM SIG Proceedings format. Research and poster papers will be presented in oral or poster sessions. System papers will be accompanied by a demonstration of the software prototype, and should include a description of hw/sw requirements on a separate sheet. Demonstrators may either use their personal laptops, or provide a full working version of accepted prototypes, ready for installation. Papers will be submitted electronically. Detailed information on electronic submission will be provided at the AVI 2010 web site. Papers from all categories will be included in the Proceedings published by ACM Press. Note that for 8-page full papers only, a 200-word abstract is requested before paper submission. WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS In addition to the scientific program, tutorials and workshops are also planned. Tutorials provide conference participants with the opportunity to gain new insights in the area of advanced visual interfaces, and workshops provide an informal setting where participants have the opportunity to discuss specific topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. Workshop and tutorial proposals should be sent to the Tutorial and Workshop Chair (luciano.gamberini@unipd.it) by November 15th, 2009. The acceptance notification will be sent by December 20th, 2009.
