2nd CfP: Engineering Interactive Systems with SCXML Workshop in conjunction with EICS 2014

2nd Call for Papers

Engineering Interactive Systems with SCXML Workshop in conjunction with
EICS 2014,
Rome, Italy June 17, 2014


About

The W3C is about to finalize the Statechart Extensible Markup (SCXML)
[1] standard to express Harel state-machines as XML documents. In unison
with the W3C MMI architecture specification [2] and related work from
the W3C MMI working group, this recommendation is a promising candidate
to become the "HTML of multi-modal applications".


Workshop Topics

The workshop will provide a forum to discuss submissions detailing the
use of SCXML in particular. More generally, multi-modal dialog systems
adhering to the concepts outlined by other W3C standards will be
covered, as well as related approaches to declarative dialog modeling.

We are interested in:
- Implementations of the standard
- SCXML development tools
- Usages in interactive systems within a web browser, on the desktop,
mobile or in the Web of Things
- Integration of SCXML into existing technologies, especially related
W3C standards


Submission

We invite submissions in three different formats:
- Position papers and posters (4 pages) describe a motivated opinion or
viewpoint, identifies an open issue or important problem, or presents
work in progress
- Demo papers (4 pages) describe a system setup
- Full papers (6 pages) describe substantial contributions of novel
ongoing work

All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Besides based on general
contributions, submissions will also be selected on their potential to
initiate discussion. Accepted submissions will be made available as
online proceeding on our web site. Moreover, they will be made available
on our publication server to ensure that they can be cited. Copyright is
retained by the authors thus papers can be submitted for other venues
that allow this.

We are also planning for a special issue on SCXML in the Journal on
Multimodal User Interfaces [3]. Authors of selected papers will be
invited to submit extended versions for the special issue.

Format

All submissions have to be prepared according to the HCI Archive Format
[4] and submitted in PDF format through the workshop management system
at EasyChair [5].
