6th Annual ACM  Conference on Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces 2011
ITS  2011
November 13-16, 2011
Portopia Hotel, Kobe,  Japan
The Interactive  Tabletops and Surfaces 2011 Conference (ITS) is a premiere venue for  presenting research in the design and use of new and emerging tabletop  and interactive surface technologies. As a new community, we embrace the  growth of the discipline in a wide variety of areas, including  innovations in ITS hardware, software, design, and projects expanding  our understanding of design considerations of ITS technologies and of  their applications.
Building on their success in previous  years, ITS again features Papers and Notes presentations, as well as  tutorials, posters, demonstrations tracks and a doctoral symposium. ITS  2011 will also include workshops.
ITS 2011 will bring together top  researchers and practitioners who are interested in both the technical  and human aspects of ITS technology. On behalf of the conference  organizing committee, we invite you to begin planning your submissions  and participation for this year's conference!
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PAPERS AND NOTES
The use of interactive  surfaces is an exciting and emerging research area. Display  technologies, such as projectors, LCD and OLED flat panels, and even  flexible display substrates, coupled with input sensors capable of  enabling direct interaction, make it reasonable to envision a  not-so-distant future in which many of the common surfaces in our  environment will function as digital interactive displays. ITS brings  together researchers and practitioners from a variety of backgrounds and  interests, such as camera and projector based systems, new display  technologies, multi-touch sensing, user interface technologies,  augmented reality, computer vision, multimodal interaction, novel input  and sensing technologies, computer supported cooperative work (CSCW),  and information visualization.
The intimate size of this single-track  symposium provides an ideal venue for leading researchers and  practitioners to exchange research results and experiences. We encourage  submissions on (but not limited to) the following topic areas as they  relate to interactive tabletops and surfaces:
* Gesture-based interfaces
* Multi-modal  interfaces
*  Tangible interfaces
* Novel interaction techniques
* Data  handling/exchange on large interactive surfaces
* Data presentation on  large interactive surfaces
* Software engineering methods
* Computer supported  collaborative work
* Middleware and network support
* Virtual reality and  augmented reality
*  Social protocols
*  Information visualizations
* Hardware, including sensing and input  technologies with novel capabilities
* Human-centered design &  methodologies
*  Applications
CONFERENCE  COMMITTEE
Conference  Co-Chairs
Jun  Rekimoto, The University of Tokyo / SonyCSL, Japan
Hideki Koike,  University of Electro-Communications, Japan
Kentaro Fukuchi, Meiji University, Japan
Program Co-Chairs
Yoshifumi Kitamura,  Tohoku University, Japan

SUBMISSIONS
Papers/Notes: We  invite paper submissions of two kinds: Papers (10 pages) and Notes (4  pages). Papers must present original, highly innovative, prospective and  forward-looking research, possibly in one or more of the themes given  above. Notes must also report novel and complete research, but where the  scope and scale of the contribution is more focused and succinct than  papers. Submissions must be submitted as a single PDF file in the ACM  format through the submission system. A template for submissions can be  found on the ITS
website  (http://its2011.jp/).
All accepted  submissions will be presented at ITS 2011 and appear in the ITS digital  proceedings and be archived in the ACM digital library.
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper/Note  Submissions:  June 30, 2011
