Call: The Second IEEE International Workshop on Horizontal Interactive Human-Computer System (Tabletop2007) seeks papers

The Second IEEE International Workshop on Horizontal Interactive
Human-Computer System (Tabletop2007)

Newport, Rhode Island, USA, October 10-12, 2007.
Held in conjunction with ACM UIST 2007

http://www.ieeetabletop2007.org/

Supported by IEEE

The use of the tabletop as an input/output device is an exciting and
emerging research area. This cross-disciplinary domain brings together
experts in projector based display systems, augmented reality, user
interface technologies, multi-modal interaction, input and sensing
technologies, CSCW, and information visualization.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers in
the field so that they can present and exchange current results of
ongoing investigations.

We encourage researchers and developers to present in the following
areas as they relate to interactive tabletops:
* Applications
* Gesture-Based Interfaces
* Multi-Modal Interfaces
* Speech Interfaces
* Tangible Interfaces
* User Interface Technologies
* Computer Supported Collaboration Systems
* Middleware and Network Support
* Augmented Reality
* Social Protocols
* HapticRendering
* Information Visualization
* Horizontal Display Hardware
* Sensing and Input Technologies


Paper Submission:

We invite submissions of two kinds - regular research papers of up to 8
pages and short papers of up to 4 pages describing original research on
investigations into horizontal oriented user interface based (tabletop)
systems.

Each paper must be submitted as a single PDF file in IEEE Computer
Science Press format (described at
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct.pdf).

Each paper will be peer reviewed by no less than three experts in the
field.
Accepted research papers will be included in the IEEE proceedings and
presented in the paper sessions.

Submission details will be available at:
http://www.ieeetabletop2007.org/
