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

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 fourteenth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for 
exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. The ACM SAP 2017 
conference will be held in Cottbus, Germany at the Brandenburg 
University of Technology on the 16th and 17th of September, 2017. 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). All submissions should 
follow the general SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. Diagrams and images 
should be represented in color where appropriate. 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.

POSTERS
The posters program at SAP provides an informal venue for authors to 
share their research achievements and further discuss them with others. 
In that spirit, we encourage all types of scholarly submissions that fit 
the scope of ACM SAP. In particular, we explicitly welcome poster 
submissions on work-in-progress and on work that may have been 
previously published elsewhere but for which additional dissemination 
and discussion is desired. The poster session is an integral part of SAP 
and the SAP program will include a dedicated time slot for poster 
viewing and discussion. All poster presenters will also have the 
opportunity to give a one-minute presentation on their work during a 
poster fast-forward session.

NOTE: SAP poster abstracts are NOT considered to be publications, and as 
such will NOT appear in the ACM Digital Library. Poster abstracts WILL 
be included in the conference USB drive. Poster abstracts should follow 
the general SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines, 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 an 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. 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. Papers that have been recommended for acceptance 
in the ACM TAP journal will undergo a second review cycle, during which 
the authors will revise the paper to address reviewer concerns (similar 
to conditional acceptances at ACM SIGGRAPH). Please note that TAP 
referrals are conditional. The TAP reviewers may recommend bringing the 
paper back to the SAP proceedings if the quality of the revision is 
inadequate. Therefore, it is very important to incorporate as many 
reviewer comments as possible into the revision.

The revised paper has to be submitted in TAP format to Manuscript 
Central and must include a cover letter stating that the submission is 
for the SAP special issue. The cover letter should also document the 
list of changes made to the paper to address the reviewer concerns. 
Reformatting an 8-page paper from the SAP format to the TAP format 
typically adds a few pages so we expect the final papers will have 
somewhere between 10-15 pages. TAP papers must not exceed 20 pages in 
length. Complete TAP author guidelines and templates are available at 
http://tap.acm.org/authors.cfm.
