Building on the success of the previous three events, we are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 4th ACM International Symposium on Pervasive Displays. This event will take place in Saarbrücken in June 2015 and will include a keynote address. In addition to research papers we are also soliciting submissions for posters and demonstrations - see http://www.pervasivedisplays.org/ for more details of the submission process for these.

NEW THIS YEAR: PerDis 2015 will offer an extra day prior to the main conference, featuring tutorials, demos, and a pre-conference reception.

CALL FOR PAPERS

As digital displays become pervasive, they become increasingly prevalent and indeed relevant in many areas, including advertising, art, computing, engineering, entertainment, interaction design, sociology and urban life. We invite submissions that report on cutting-edge research in the broad spectrum of pervasive digital displays, from large interactive walls to wearable displays, from installations to personalised signage or mobile displays to urban visualisation. The symposium on Pervasive Displays welcomes work on all areas pertaining to digital displays including, but not limited to:

- Applications
- Content design
- Evaluations, case studies, deployments and experience reports
- Interfaces and interaction techniques
- Novel technologies and new forms of pervasive display
- System architectures and infrastructure
- Research methods for pervasive displays
- Media facades and architecture
- Art installations

-------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As a targeted topic venue, Pervasive Displays offers authors the unique opportunity to present their work to a research community focused on display technologies and research questions surrounding them, and allow them to receive feedback from experts in the field and other highly interested parties in an intimate symposium setting. Please note that the information in this call pertains to submissions to the research paper track. Information about other submission tracks will be provided in subsequent calls.

Submitted papers should be a maximum of six (6) pages in length in the ACM SICHI format, and should clearly explain the research question addressed, research method and tasks, findings or results, and contributions of the work. Papers should also provide sufficient background and related work to situate and contextualize the authors’ work within the greater body of research.

Submissions should consist of original work not been previously published or concurrently under consideration for any other conference, workshop, journal, or other publication with an ISBN, ISSN or DOI number.

Papers will be peer-reviewed by multiple members of a program committee consisting of experts on pervasive displays. All accepted papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library.
