Call for Papers: CMIS Workshop
3rd International Workshop on Collaboration Meets Interactive Surfaces (CMIS): Walls, Tables, Mobiles, and Wearables
Workshop co-located with ACM Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces (ITS) 2015
Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
November 15-18, 2015

Deadline extension for Submission of workshop papers: September 30, 2015
The vast screen real estate, which is provided in large-scale interaction environments presents novel ways to visualize and interact with data-rich models. In parallel to this technological revolution, interactive surfaces and devices have also become widespread in different sizes and devices ranging from large-scale walls, touch surfaces to wearable computing devices. Indeed, the ITS and HCI communities have witnessed, in recent years, an increased usage of interactive large-scale walls, touch displays, tabletops, mobiles (e.g. tablets and smart phones), and wearable devices (e.g. watches, glasses).
The opportunities for innovation exist, but the ITS and HCI communities have not yet thoroughly addressed the problem of bringing effective collaboration activities using multiple interactive surfaces and devices, especially in complex work domains. Of particular interest is the potential synergy that one can obtain by effectively combining different-sized surfaces and devices. In this context, this workshop proposes to bring together researchers who are interested in improving collaborative experiences through the combination of multiple interaction surfaces with diverse sizes and formats, ranging from large-scale walls, to tabletops, mobiles, and wearables.
Workshop Aims:
This workshop aims to exchange experiences regarding collaborative user interface design techniques that were designed for, or adapted to people involved in all kinds of collaborative activities, either remote or co-located. Since many of these techniques are highly focused on specific target groups, a further aim is to extract general principles and to generate guidelines for bringing effective collaboration around interactive surfaces.
Call for Papers:
We invite researchers and designers who have been involved in one or more design-oriented project(s) involving the study of collaborative activities around all sorts of interactive surfaces and devices. Those wishing to attend will be required to submit a work-in-progress or position paper. Wherever appropriate, submitting a short companion video describing the work is strongly encouraged. Please provide a Youtube or Vimeo URL at the author’s convenience. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
- Design and evaluation of collaborative environments with interactive surfaces and devices, either remotely or co-located;
- Collaborative applications on interactive surfaces for different domains (e.g. meeting rooms, 3D visualization, mechanical engineering, medical visualizations, emergency response scenarios, criminal intelligence);
- Communication, cooperation and coordination as well as social protocols;
- Interactive surfaces and devices to enhance spatial perception of content and/or support navigation during collaboration activities;
- Issues when moving from desktop-based collaboration to large-scale walls, tabletops, touch-based mobile devices, and wearable computing devices;
- Integration of different devices and surfaces (Walls, Tables, Mobiles, Wearables) for collaboration;
- Physical navigation and interaction between different devices;
- Collaboration paradigms and user interface designs that address enhancement of collaborative activities using interactive surfaces, walls, tabletops, mobiles, and wearables;
- Collaborative sense making and visual analytics with different interactive surfaces and devices;
- Theories and applications of social science for interactive surfaces and devices.
Submission Instructions:
We solicit the submission of position papers (max 6 pages length). Late breaking results, novel ideas, as well as on-going doctoral research or research projects are especially encouraged. The workshop will foster creative discussions that will benefit on-going research that participants may be engaged with. Papers must written in English in PDF and submitted as a single PDF file in the ACM SIGCHI Extended Abstracts Format (http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform) through the EasyChair submission system (http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmis2015). Submitting a short companion video describing the work is an option. Please provide a Vimeo, Youtube or Dropbox URL at the author’s convenience.
