ICMI 2023 CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITS

ACM ICMI 2023 CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITS
9-13 October 2023, Paris - France
https://icmi.acm.org/2023/doctoral-consortium/
========================================================

We invite you to submit your proposals for demonstrations and exhibits
to be held during the 25th ACM International Conference on Multimodal
Interaction (ICMI 2023), located in Paris, France, October 9-13th
2023. This year’s conference theme is "Science of Multimodal
Interactions".

* Demonstrations and Exhibits
The ICMI 2023 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 as a platform to introduce commercial
products.  Proposals may be of two types: demonstrations or
exhibits. The main difference is that demonstrations include a 2-3
page paper in one column, which will be included in the ICMI main
proceedings, while the exhibits only need to include a brief outline
(no more than two pages in one column; not included in 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 2-3 page description of the demonstration in a single
column format through the main ICMI conference management system
(new.precisionconference.com/sigchi). Demonstration description(s)
must be in PDF format, according to the ACM conference format, of no
more than 3 pages in a single column format including references. For
instructions and links to the templates, please see the Guidelines for
Authors (https://icmi.acm.org/2023/guidelines-for-authors/).
Demonstration proposals should include a description with photographs
and/or screen captures of the demonstration. Demonstration submissions
should be accompanied by a video of the proposed demo (no larger than
200MB), which can include a set of slides (no more than 10 slides) in
PowerPoint format.  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, along with preparing the 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 regular papers
accepted for presentation at the conference. Please note that the
accepted demos will be included in the ICMI main 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 two pages), and are more
suitable for showcasing mature systems. Like demos, submissions for
exhibits should be accompanied by a video (no larger than 200MB),
which can include a set of slides (no more than 10 slides) in
PowerPoint format. Exhibits will not have a paper published in the
ICMI 2023 proceedings.

* Facilities
Once accepted, demonstrators and video presenters will be provided
with a table, poster board, power outlet and wireless (shared)
Internet. Demo and video presenters are expected to bring with them
everything else needed for their demo and video presentations, such as
hardware, laptops, sensors, PCs, etc. However, if you have special
requests such as a larger space, special lighting conditions and so
on, we will do our best to arrange them.  Important note for the
authors: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are
made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two
weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related
to published work.

* 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
- Submission of demo and exhibit proposals	July 14, 2023
- Demo and exhibit notification of acceptance	July 28, 2023
- Submission of demo final papers		August 13, 2023
