Call for Demonstrations and Exhibits
https://icmi.acm.org/2022/call-for-demonstrations-and-exhibits/

We invite you to submit your proposals for demonstrations and exhibits to
be held during the 24th ACM International Conference on Multimodal
Interaction (ICMI 2022), located in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, November
7-11th, 2022. This year’s conference theme is “Intelligent and responsible
Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) in the multi-lingual real world”.
Demonstrations and Exhibits

The ICMI 2022 Demonstrations & Exhibits session is intended to provide a
forum to showcase innovative implementations, systems and technologies
demonstrating new ideas about interactive multimodal interfaces. It can
also serve as a platform to introduce commercial products.

Proposals may be of two types: demonstrations or exhibits. The main
difference is that demonstrations include a 2-3 page paper in one column,
which will be included in the ICMI main proceedings, while the exhibits
only need to include a brief outline (no more than two pages in one column;
not included in ICMI proceedings). We encourage both the submission of
early research prototypes and interesting mature systems. In addition,
authors of accepted regular research papers may be invited to participate
in the demonstration sessions as well.
Demonstration Submission

Please submit a 2-3 page description of the demonstration in a single
column format through the main ICMI conference management system (
new.precisionconference.com/sigchi). Demonstration description(s) must be
in PDF format, according to the ACM conference format, of no more than 3
pages in a single column format including references. For instructions and
links to the templates, please see the Guidelines for Authors
<https://icmi.acm.org/2022/guidelines-for-authors/>.

Demonstration proposals should include a description with photographs
and/or screen captures of the demonstration. Demonstration submissions
should be accompanied by a video of the proposed demo (no larger than
200MB), which can include a set of slides (no more than 10 slides) in
PowerPoint format.

The demo and exhibit paper submissions are not anonymous. However, all ACM
rules and guidelines related to paper submission should be followed (e.g.
plagiarism, including self-plagiarism).

The demonstration submissions will be peer reviewed, according to the
following criteria: suitability as a demo, scientific or engineering
feasibility of the proposed demo system, application, or interactivity,
alignment with the conference focus, potential to engage the audience, and
overall quality and presentation of the written proposal. Authors are
encouraged to address such criteria in their proposals, along with
preparing the papers mindful of the quality and rigorous scientific
expectations of an ACM publication.

The demo program will include the accepted proposals and may additionally
include invited demos from among regular papers accepted for presentation
at the conference. Please note that the accepted demos will be included in
the ICMI main proceedings.
Exhibit Submission

Exhibit proposals should be submitted following the same guidelines,
formatting, and due dates as for demonstration proposals. Exhibit proposals
must be shorter in length (up to two pages), and are more suitable for
showcasing mature systems. Like demos, submissions for exhibits should be
accompanied by a video (no larger than 200MB), which can include a set of
slides (no more than 10 slides) in PowerPoint format. Exhibits will not
have a paper published in the ICMI 2022 proceedings.
Facilities

Once accepted, demonstrators and video presenters will be provided with a
table, poster board, power outlet and wireless (shared) Internet. Demo and
video presenters are expected to bring with them everything else needed for
their demo and video presentations, such as hardware, laptops, sensors,
PCs, etc. However, if you have special requests such as a larger space,
special lighting conditions and so on, we will do our best to arrange them.

Important note for the authors: The official publication date is the date
the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date
may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The
official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings
related to published work.
Attendance

At least one author of all accepted Demonstrations and Exhibits submissions
must register for and attend the conference, including the conference
demonstrations and exhibits session(s).
Important Dates
Submission of demo and exhibit proposals: July 26, 2022 (Extended Deadline)
Demo and exhibit notification of acceptance: August 8, 2022
Submission of demo final papers: August 19, 2022
