[visionlist] Call for Papers "Novel Gaze-Controlled Applications 2011"

[Mario Urbina]

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The conference will take place at Blekinge Institute of Technology on the 26-27th of May 2011. The special theme of the conference is "Novel Gaze-Controlled Applications" and we hope to bring together a diverse group of people interested in this topic. The use of eye tracking has recently opened up many new exciting combinations. Not only does it make it possible to find out what and where people are attending to in stimuli and interfaces, it can also be connected to additional instrumentation or apparatus for example biometric or auditive information. In combination with eye tracking or gaze steering we can orchestrate our whole body in novel interaction with screen and different devices. Topics for contributions include but are not limited to the following areas:
Interaction methods available when using gaze interaction
Challenges associated with interaction methods and possible solutions for these
Technical challenges when using eye tracking for interaction
Where are the limitations, what implications does these limitations put on the interaction and what can be done to compensate for these limitations
Integration of eye tracking with other modalities (galvanic skin response (GSR), audio, haptics, electroencephalography (EEG), graphics, pulse, brain-computer interface (BCI))
The application domains can be games, serious games, simulation training, robotics, health, accessibility, wellbeing and fitness, social interaction, team building

Please join us in Karlskrona to interact with academic and industry researchers from Sweden and abroad, share new results, and discuss emerging directions for the field.
See important dates for deadlines.

SUBMISSION
Submissions relating to all aspects of eye tracking are invited. We invite short (up to 4 pages) and long (maximum 8 pages) papers in the categories of applications and research. High quality submissions describing work-in-progress will also be considered. Papers must be written and presented in English. The main contribution of the paper should not previously have appeared in, or be submitted to, any other conference or journal. If accepted, you will beexpected to deliver an oral presentation at the conference. All accepted papers will appear in the digital conference proceedings and there will be a prize for the best paper. Authors of some rejected papers with high potential will be invited to present their work as a poster. The papers from the conference will appear in the International Conference Proceedings Series in the ACM Digital Library.
Anonymize your submission by replacing the author name(s) with "Submitted for blind review."
Do not list institutions or email addresses.
Please send us your submissions in .pdf format by email to: veronica.sundstedt at bth.se
The subject of the email should be "NGCA 2011". In the body of your email please include the title of the paper, the list of authors and their affiliations.
In order to prepare your papers in a suitable format you must use the ACM Word or LaTeX style templates to prepare your articles which can be found here.
It is important that you apply the ACM Computing Classification categories and terms foundhere.
The paper should have the copyright statement and bibliographic strip on the bottom of the first page left column.
The PDF must have Type 1 fonts (scalable), not Type 3 (bit-mapped). All fonts must be embedded within the PDF file. In order to help you through this process please see thisdocumentation on how to embed your fonts. Please download the ACM Digital Library optimal distiller settings file, ACM.joboptions.
Please contact us early on if you have any problems formatting your paper according to the guidelines.
