In addition to research papers we are also soliciting submissions for posters and demonstrations – see http://www.pervasivedisplays.org/ for more details of the submission process for these.

CALL FOR PAPERS

As digital displays become pervasive, they become increasingly prevalent and indeed relevant in many areas, including advertising, art, computing, engineering, entertainment, interaction design, sociology and urban life. We invite submissions that report on cutting-edge research in the broad spectrum of pervasive digital displays, from large interactive walls to wearable displays, from installations to personalised signage or mobile displays to urban visualisation.… read more. “Call: 3rd International Symposium on Pervasive Displays 2014”

Media Fields Journal: Critical Explorations in Media and Space

Issue 8: Playgrounds

Submission Deadline: Dec. 1, 2013

http://www.mediafieldsjournal.org/call-for-submissions/

This issue of Media Fields investigates the connections between media, space, power, and various approaches to “play” across culture and society. In this issue we seek conversations that embrace play in all its polysemy. We invite papers that investigate how mediated play spaces can become spaces to negotiate labor, power, resistance, agency, or subjectivity. To that end, what is a mediated play space? What is the history of mediated play spaces? How are non-play spaces subverted to become play spaces, and what are the political consequences of this subversion? Moreover, what is the political potential of play?… read more. “Call: ‘Playgrounds’ – Special issue of Media Fields Journal: Critical Explorations in Media and Space”

The 2014 IEEE Haptics Symposium (http://2014.hapticssymposium.org/) solicits proposals for tutorials and workshops, to be held on February 23, 2014 preceding the full conference.

Tutorials should disseminate knowledge of established research areas that are relevant to the haptics community. Workshops are forums where specific research topics are presented and discussed aimed at extending the normal disciplinary boundaries of haptics. In all cases we strongly encourage interested organizers to contact the HS14 Workshops and Tutorials Chair as soon as possible to discuss suitability of the proposed topic (send e-mail directly to Antonio Frisoli (ma.frisoli@sssup.it) or to mworkshops@hapticssymposium.org.

Both tutorials and workshops can have either HALF or FULL day duration, according to proposed plan and covered topics.… read more. “Call: 2014 IEEE Haptics Symposium – Tutorials and workshops”
