[ecrea] ACM TVX 2017 - Call for Workshop proposals and Full and Short Paper Submissions

============ ACM TVX 2017 - Call for Workshop proposals and Full and 
Short Paper Submissions ============
 **** ACM TVX 2017 ****
June 14-16, Hilversum, the Netherlands
www.tvx2017.com
  ACM TVX is the leading international conference for research into 
online video, TV interaction and user experience. It is a 
multi-disciplinary conference and we welcome submissions in a broad 
range of topics. Our aim is to foster discussions and innovative 
experiences amongst the academic research community and industry. In 
particular, we encourage submissions that address the different domains 
in the TV and online media ecosystems, including content production, 
implementation/deployment, design of novel interaction techniques and 
devices, new content distribution models, user research, user experience 
and exploration of interactive experiences for TV and online video. As 
the main theme of the conference is ‘Alternate Realities’, we 
particularly welcome contributions that look into specific tools, 
methods and evaluation of experiences related to creating and enabling 
alternate realities.
1) CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
===========================
TVX workshops provide an informal setting where participants have the 
opportunity to discuss familiar and novel topics in an atmosphere that 
fosters active engagement and exchange of ideas. Workshops are expected 
to generate ideas that enable the TVX community to explore new, 
organized ways of thinking about specific topics and emerging areas or 
that result in promising directions for future research.

Workshops will be held on the first day of the conference (June 14, 
2017) and can either be a half or full day in length. Workshop 
organizers may consider including a short tutorial as part of the 
program, and are strongly encouraged to dedicate at least half of the 
time for discussion, interaction or creative exercises. Each workshop 
will therefore be limited to 30 attendees (including organizers) to 
further foster a truly interactive experience. Each workshop will also 
result in a poster, which communicates its outcomes. The workshop 
posters will be displayed during a poster session at the conference.

We invite potential workshop organizers to submit their proposal by 
November 1, 2016 in ACM double column format. The maximum length is 4 
pages. Proposals should address the following points:
- Aims and scope of the workshop
- Format and duration (full or half day), draft schedule indicating 
which kinds of sessions you intend to include
- Type(s) of submissions/contributions that will be solicited
- Plans for disseminating the call for contributions and attracting 
participants (e.g., list of institutions, research projects or 
communities which are affiliated with the workshop, and from which you 
expect contributions)
- Short bios of the organizers

Organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for setting up a 
workshop website. They may ask any kind of contribution to be submitted 
by workshop participants in advance (e.g. full papers, short papers, 
posters, demonstrators, videos). These contributions will be published 
in the adjunct proceedings. Workshop organizers are responsible for 
setting up a submission system and for organizing the review process. 
Workshop organizers will be invited to submit a 2-page summary of the 
workshop to be included in the official TVX proceedings, published by 
ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library.
All workshop proposals will be rigorously evaluated with respect to 
their quality, relevance and suitability for the conference. Accepted 
workshops might be merged with another workshop that addresses a similar 
topic, or be cancelled if too few attendees (fewer than 8) register.

2) CALL FOR FULL AND SHORT PAPERS
==============================

SUBMISSION FORMAT
 All submissions should follow the ACM guidelines (see ACM format 
template). We invite the submission of anonymized 8-10 page Full Papers 
or 4-6 page Short Papers in SIGCHI Format with 150 word abstract. 
Authors also must specify the key area of the submission (out of the 
nine areas indicated in the “Topics” section below) and keywords. Page 
limit does not include “References.”

TOPICS
 We solicit original submissions focusing on, but not limited to, the 
following areas:
(*) Content production: research on traditional and novel content 
production paradigms for the new media landscape. Including cross- 
platform services, interactive and transmedia storytelling, 
personalization (user modeling and adaptive user interfaces, 
recommendation systems), and immersive media production.  (*) Systems & 
infrastructures: descriptions of the architecture, design, deployment, 
and evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support television 
and online video. Including delivery, transmission, and synchronization 
of media that leverages TV and online video experiences in a number of 
scenarios such as entertainment, gaming, education, healthcare, etc.
(*) Devices & interaction techniques: descriptions of the design, 
architecture, usage and evaluation of devices and interaction techniques 
that enable e.g. a connected ecosystem of devices, creating valuable new 
capabilities for online video and television.
(*) User experience & interaction design: studies on how and why people 
consume and interact with online video and television and how such 
systems should be designed to provide most easiest, efficient, engaging 
and novel user experiences. This includes novel user interface designs, 
user- centered design methods and approaches and quality of experience 
measurement and monitoring. Research that explores the social aspects of 
TV and online video, enabling a complex ecosystem of people 
communicating with each other in synchronous and asynchronous manners. 
(*) Media studies: studies that aim to understand consumption practices 
and changing behavior as well as adoption and domestication of new TV- 
related services, and Quality of Experience. This topic also includes 
research on ethical, regulatory, and policy issues as well as novel 
mechanisms for evaluating the impact of TV and online video, and 
audience measurements.
(*) Immersive media experiences: research on novel ways of content 
production (for example, 360 panoramic and omnidirectional video 
capture) and consumption making use of immersive devices such as head- 
mounted displays, as stand- alone experiences or in combination with 
other more traditional TV viewing devices (for example TV- set, tablet). 
This topic also includes explorations of augmented, mixed and virtual 
reality for content production, delivery and consumption.
(*) Alternate realities: studies into what makes the access to alternate 
realities an enriching experience; explorations on how interaction, 
virtual and augmented reality technologies, UHD TV, second third and 
fourth screens, and streaming technologies can generate added value in 
delivering alternate realities, and on how to measure this added value. 
Reports on  technologies that can better guide the user to find its 
preferred alternate reality, offering appealing, personalized, context 
aware content selected or recommended from the multitude of the 
available material online.
(*) Data science and recommendations: descriptions of advanced 
computational systems based on content and/or user generated data to 
support collaborative filtering, interactive/synchronous environments, 
collective intelligence and crowdsourcing, or location- based and 
context- aware applications and services.
(*) Business models & marketing: research, practice and case studies 
around novel business models and marketing strategies for the new media 
landscape of TV and online video (for example OTT services,..). This 
topic includes studies around novel ways of advertising models and 
strategies (for example targeted advertising, programmatic buying).
(*) Innovative concepts and media art: research on innovative design 
strategies, new concepts, and prototype experiences for TV and online 
video, including case studies and media artworks and performances.
