UBICOMP/ISWC 2014 CALL FOR VIDEOS
=================================
Important Dates:
- Submission due: May 30
- Notification: June 20

UbiComp/ISWC 2014 welcomes the contribution of videos illustrating 
inspiring visions of future systems that are grounded in today's technical 
reality, demonstrate the practical application of research results and the 
functionality of ubiquitous computing systems. We also welcome 
contributions that visualize the outcome of research and development 
projects that are not directly or exclusively linked to a specific system. 
We encourage the submission of videos either as new material or as 
supplemental to paper submissions (e.g., in order to illustrate particular 
aspects of a system). In order to be eligible, videos should not have been 
previously presented in any other formal video program.

At the conference, the video program will be interleaved into the regular 
paper program. Video authors will have a chance to answer questions from 
the audience after their video is presented.

A UbiComp/ISWC 2014 video submission should include:
- A 4-page extended abstract (Template: LaTex, Word): For details about 
template and submission see the “Submission” section above.
- A self-explanatory video: The video should not require the viewer to 
read the abstract.

The video should adhere to these guidelines:
- Format: Accepted formats include MPEG4 (e.g. H264 codecs) and Apple 
QuickTime. However, MPEG4 format is strongly encouraged.
- Resolution: At least VGA size (640 x 480 pixel). Wide-screen is also 
acceptable.
- Length: between 3-8 minutes.
- Size: No larger than 200 MB.

Submissions (i.e., the 4-page abstract plus the video) should be submitted 
online through the PCS submission system as a single ZIP file that 
contains both the PDF and the video file. Submitting same video to both 
Ubicomp and ISWC is not allowed.  

Videos will be judged primarily on the quality of their content, the 
clarity of their presentation, quality of production, their interest and 
relevance to UbiComp/ISWC. If the video is accepted, a high-quality 
format, suitable for DVD production, will be required for the final 
version. The authors will have to grant UbiComp/ISWC 2014 the right to 
redistribute it freely, which means that it must not contain any material 
subject to copyright.

Video submissions should not be anonymized!

Videos from previous years can be found in the ACM Digital Library. Should 
you have any questions regarding potential submissions, including 
copyright issues, please contact the UbiComp/ISWC 2014 video chairs at 
videos2014@ubicomp.org or video@iswc.net

To make the video content that goes into the ACM digital library more 
accessible to wider audience, we highly recommend you to follow our 
accessibility guideline:
- If possible, make captions available for your video in respect of any 
audio content provided.
- Ensure that text and illustratory content are clear, using San-Serif 
Fonts (e.g. Arial, Tahoma, Trebucket). Please also ensure that red and 
green are not used together for diagrams and text, and aim to ensure as 
high a degree of contrast in relation to this content.
- Try to ensure that your video complies with the standards for people 
with photosensitive epilepsy.
- If your video does not comply with the aforementioned epilepsy 
standards, or contains content which could be offensive or upsetting, 
please provide a warning (written and oral) at the beginning of the video 
so that potential viewers have an option not to view this content.
- Please provide audio descriptions of key visual content. This is to 
assist some people with visual impairments follow the narrative of your 
video.
