PAPERS

All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the ISPD 2012 program committee as well as by additional expert reviewers drawn from relevant research communities.

Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness, and presentation. If a submitted paper overlaps in content with previously published or simultaneously reviewed work, the paper should make explicit how the work offers unique and substantial contribution beyond what has already been published or submitted.

Papers should include a thorough survey of related work positioning the contribution, a comprehensive, detailed and comprehensible explanation of a device, system, study, theory or method (sufficient for replicability), and compelling validation of the work.

   Format

Papers can be up to 6 pages in the ACM Proceedings format (Word, Latex). Further information on how to prepare your submission can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

   Submission

All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Please visit the EasyChair ISPD 2012 submission site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ispd20120) to submit to the Paper track. Paper submissions must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize oblique and overt references and citations that may reveal the identity of the authors or their institutions. However, to facilitate proper review, references to an author's previous research should not be suppressed, anonymized, or omitted. Instead, references to previous research should be presented in the text in a neutral fashion that does not identify it as the author's own work.

VIDEOS

The video track offers a unique opportunity to showcase research prototypes, and to discuss them with an international audience of experts. To promote this, ISPD 2012 is seeking interesting and engaging videos of pervasive displays. Proposers are invited to submit videos under the general topics of the symposium.

   Submission

All videos submissions will be handled electronically. Please visit the EasyChair ISPD 2012 submission site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ispd20120) to submit to the video track.

Video Chair: Christian Kray, University of Münster, Germany

POSTERS

The posters track offers a concise format to contribute novel ideas and late-breaking research findings in pervasive display technologies, systems, and applications, and for sharing ideas and challenges in a discussion-oriented forum during the symposium. In addition, posters may summarize interesting on-going research projects in a compact format.
Authors of accepted posters will be given the opportunity to promote their contribution during a special poster session scheduled in the main symposium program. Posters will be presented throughout the symposium.

   Submission

We welcome contributions by the poster submission deadline. Please visit the EasyChair ISPD 2012 submission site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ispd20120) to submit to the posters track. Poster submissions should be max. 2 pages in the ACM Proceedings template.
A draft poster should also be submitted, formatted as A1 portrait (594x841mm).
Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the ISPD 2012 poster committee. The abstract will be made available on the website.

Poster Chair: Nick Taylor, Newcastle University, UK
