Sponsored by the ACM's special interest group on computer-human
interaction (SIGCHI), ITS has been established as a premier venue for
research in the design, development and use of new and emerging
interactive surface technologies. This year’s conference will be held at
the Hilton Hotel right in the heart of beautiful Dresden, Germany from
Nov. 16-19, 2014.
ITS 2014 welcomes original, high-quality research and industry
contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the area of
interactive surfaces (including tabletops, large displays, mobile, and
mini devices). We embrace innovations in a wide variety of areas
including design, software, hardware, understanding of use, and
applications or deployments of interactive surfaces.

*General Information*

We invite submissions to the poster category of ITS 2014.

The ITS 2014 poster program offers an engaging venue to present and
discuss new and developing research. Posters provide the opportunity for
researchers to get feedback on early-stage work, establish potential
collaborations and discuss the burning issues in ITS 2014 in an informal
manner with the larger ITS community during the interactive poster session.

Work that is best suited for a poster submission includes – but is not
limited to – preliminary results, provoking and current topics, novel
experiences or prototypes that have not been fully tested but show great
promise, summaries of small-scale studies, design explorations of
interactive tabletops and surfaces.

In addition to a poster being displayed during ITS 2014, a poster
submission will feature

   * an extended abstract of the poster (max. 6 pages) published in the
     electronic conference proceedings in the ACM DL.
   * a plenary fast-forward session.

*Preparing the Submission*

All submissions must include an extended abstract and a draft poster.
The extended abstract has a maximum limit of 6 pages, including all
figures and references, and must be in the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts
Format (LaTeX Template, Word Template). It should include a concise
description of the idea, the results or findings, supporting imagery and
figures, and a discussion of the implications of the work to the
selected domain. Full literature searches are not expected, although
relevant citations should be included.

The reviewing of abstract will be single-blind -- that is, your
submission should *not* be anonymized but reviewers will remain
anonymous to you. As there is only one week after notification to the
final camera- ready deadline, one cannot make larger changes until the
camera-ready deadline. Final camera-ready versions of accepted papers
therefore must be accompanied by a signed copyright form which will be
provided to accepted authors. All submissions conflicting with one or
more guidelines will be removed before the reviewing process as we could
not assure an on-time publication.

Your abstract should be submitted by August 29, 2014 to the Precision
Conference System. The submitted files must be in PDF format.

*Reviewing*

Posters abstracts will be reviewed by members of the ITS 2014 Poster
Session Committee. Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during
the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential
in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be
kept confidential until the start of the conference.

*Presentation at the Conference*

Upon acceptance you should prepare your poster in order to effectively
communicate your research problem, techniques, and results. In
particular you should highlight what is novel and important about your
work. For each accepted poster, at least one author must register for
the ITS 2014 conference. During a dedicated poster session, the
author(s) will have the opportunity to present and discuss their poster
with conference attendees.

The posters themselves have no predefined formatting, but we recommend
that the posters dimensions are in A0 or similar format (84cm x 119cm /
33 x 47). The posters must be in portrait orientation. Authors are
expected to bring the accepted posters to the conference site with them
and be present throughout the poster session.

*Final Submission*

Subsequently, ACM will send you a copyright form, which you have to
complete. Once completed, we will provide you with the new copyright
information to be put on your paper. You can then submit the final
version (including the new copyright notice) through the submission system.
