CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS

ACM Symposium on Applied Perception - SAP 2016
July 22-23, 2016, Anaheim, USA

Paper submission deadline (extended): March 30
Poster submission deadline: May 10

============================================================

The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP) aims to advance and 
promote research that crosses the boundaries between perception and 
disciplines such as graphics, visualization, computer vision, haptics 
and acoustics. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas. The 
scope of the conference includes applications and algorithms in any area 
of research that incorporates elements of perception and computer science.

Our thirteenth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for 
exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. The ACM SAP 2016 
conference will be held in Anaheim, California on July 22nd and 23rd, 
immediately prior to the 43rd International Conference and Exhibition on 
Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH). We aim to 
further promote communication between the core perception and computer 
graphics communities.

We invite submissions of original work in all areas of applied 
perception. Relevant areas include:

   - Modeling, rendering, and animation
   - Visualization
   - Computational aesthetics
   - Haptic rendering, haptic input and perception
   - Perception of virtual characters
   - Color vision and color appearance modeling
   - Perception of high dynamic range scenes and images
   - Interaction techniques and interfaces
   - Augmented reality
   - Virtual worlds
   - Display technologies
   - Auditory display and interfaces
   - Perceptual auditory coding
   - Spatialized sound
   - Speech synthesis and recognition
   - Sensory integration
   - Multimodal rendering
   - Spatial and temporal vision
   - Attention and eye movements
   - Statistical learning and perception of natural scenes
   - Perception of shapes, surfaces, and materials

PAPERS
Research can be submitted as a long paper (up to 8 pages and up to 20 
minute talk), a short paper (up to 4 pages and up to 15 minute talk), or 
as a poster presentation (1 page abstract). Papers that are not accepted 
will be considered for the poster session. Authors of posters accepted 
by this route will, of course, have the option to decline the 
opportunity to present a poster. Please check the formatting guidelines 
before submitting your work.

POSTERS
A poster presentation is an opportunity for authors to display and 
discuss achievements that are not ready for publication or have not been 
published previously. The poster session is always an integral part of 
SAP with specific time allotted for participants to view and discuss the 
work. All poster presenters will have the opportunity to give a 
one-minute description of their work during a poster fast-forward 
session. Poster presentations are not formal publications. We encourage 
all types of scholarly poster submissions that fit the scope of ACM-SAP. 
Poster abstracts should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines 
for papers, except that they should be 1 page long.

FURTHER DETAILS
All papers will be carefully reviewed by our International Program 
Committee. SAP follows a double blind review process. Papers will be 
evaluated as submitted, given limited time between submission and 
printing of final versions. Under a recent agreement with the ACM 
Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the ACM Publications Board, 
the strongest accepted papers will be offered publication as full papers 
in the ACM journal TAP. These papers will undergo a second review cycle, 
during which the authors will revise the paper to address concerns posed 
in the summary review (similar to conditional acceptances at ACM 
SIGGRAPH). Authors of such special issue papers must agree to present 
the paper at ACM SAP. As has always been the case, authors of regular 
ACM SAP papers can still submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate 
additions.
