ICMI 2019 ? Call for Demonstrations and Exhibits General info: https://icmi.acm.org/2019/index.php?id=cfd ======================================================== Dear Colleages,

We invite you to submit your proposals for demonstrations and exhibits to be held during the 21st ACM International Conference

 on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2019), located in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China, October 14-18th, 2019. The ICMI 2019 Demonstrations & Exhibits session is intended to provide a forum to showcase innovative implementations,

 systems and technologies demonstrating new ideas about interactive multimodal interfaces. It can also serve to introduce

 commercial products. Proposals may be of two types: demonstrations and exhibits. The main difference is that demonstration proposals consist of

 a short paper (2 pages), which will be included in ICMI proceedings, while the exhibit proposals only need to include a brief

 outline (no more than 1 page) and will not be included in the ICMI proceedings. We encourage both the submission of early 

research prototypes and interesting mature systems. In addition, authors of accepted regular research papers may be invited

 to participate in the demonstration sessions as well. Demonstration Submission: Please submit a 1-2 page description of the demonstration through the main ICMI conference management system

 https://new.precisionconference.com/icmi19a Demonstration description(s) must be in PDF format, according to the ACM conference format, of no more than 2 pages in

 length including references (for MS Word and Latex templates and examples, please see 

https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow). Demonstration proposals should include a description with photographs and/or screen captures of the demonstration and,

 where possible, a video of the proposed demo should accompany the submission (no larger than 200MB). The demo and

 exhibit paper submissions are not anonymous. However, all ACM rules and guidelines related to paper submission should

 be followed (e.g. plagiarism, including self-plagiarism). The demonstration submissions will be peer reviewed, according to the following criteria: suitability as a demo, scientific 

or engineering feasibility of the proposed demo system, application, or interactivity, alignment with the conference focus,

 potential to engage the audience, and overall quality and presentation of the written proposal. Authors are encouraged

 to address such criteria in their proposals (paper submission), along with preparing the short papers mindful of the quality

 and rigorous scientific expectations of an ACM publication. The demo program will include the accepted proposals and may additionally include invited demos from among full-length

 papers accepted for presentation at the conference. Please note that the accepted descriptions will be included in the ICMI 

proceedings. Exhibit Submission: Exhibit proposals should be submitted following the same guidelines, formatting, and due dates as for demonstration

 proposals. Exhibit proposals must be shorter in length (up to one page) and more suitable for mature systems. Exhibits

 will not have a paper published in the ICMI 2019 proceedings. Attendance: At least one author of all accepted Demonstrations and Exhibits submissions must register for and attend the conference, 

including the conference demonstrations and exhibits session(s). Important dates for demonstrations and exhibits: Submission of demo and exhibit proposals: July 30, 2019 Demo and exhibit notification of acceptance: August 23, 2019 Submission of demo final papers: August 30, 2019 Questions?
