The ISMAR 2022 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the ISMAR conference. The workshops will be scheduled on October 17th (Monday) and October 21st (Friday). To be aligned with the ISMAR conference which will be conducted in hybrid mode, the workshops can be organized in either online or in Singapore physically.
Workshops are intended to bring together researchers, developers, technology providers, practitioners and users for a lively and interactive discussion of issues in augmented, mixed, and virtual reality through an informal exchange of ideas and information. Workshops may target a specific application area, a specific research area, or a topic of general interest to the ISMAR community. Workshops are often “mini conferences” organized around a very focused topic, but this is not the only possible workshop mode. We encourage organizers to consider alternative modes, including (but not limited to) interactive discussions, curated panels, and position papers, as well as models that take advantage of the hybrid format, such as prerecording talks to enable an interactive live workshop.
The scope of the proposals should be consistent with the main conference topics. Please visit the conference website for more details: http://ismar2022.org.
Workshop proposals must be submitted before May 6th, 2022 (23:59 AoE, Friday).
The deadline for workshop proposal submissions is May 6th, 2022 (23:59 AoE, Friday), and notifications will be sent out on May 16th, 2022 (Monday). Workshop organizers will be expected to issue their calls for participation no later than June 6th, 2022 (Monday) and to issue any acceptance decisions to their participants no later than August 8th, 2022 (Monday) to allow sufficient time for travel planning and advance registration to the conference. All camera-ready material for the proceedings should be collected by August 31st, 2022 (Wednesday).
ISMAR workshops provide a venue for presentations of novel work, work in progress, and position papers. ISMAR workshops may also be organized as seminars in which attendees are invited to actively participate. Since seminars aim for a maximum of interactivity, we ask the organizers to state which target audience the workshop addresses and how the organizers intend involving the attendees. Organizers may include, for example, hands-on sessions or pro-contra discussions of reading lists. Workshops may also be organized as a combination of both formats, such as seminars regarding presentations of novel work, work in progress, or position statements.
Workshop organizers can choose one of two options regarding publication: (1) The workshop’s papers will be published in ISMAR 2022 adjunct proceedings and IEEE Xplore (Accepted papers should be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society VGTC format.), OR (2) The workshop’s papers will not be published but will be distributed as supplemental material along with the ISMAR 2022 proceedings, as a part of the conference material.
Workshop submissions can be directed to workshops_tutorials_chairs@ismar2022.org (please use the subject “ISMAR 2022 Workshop Proposal“ and cc all co-organizers on the email). Please provide a PDF document containing:
Organizers (a minimum of two organizers per workshop) are expected to be proactive in the field where they propose a workshop. Potential workshop organizers should also note that at least one workshop organizer is required to attend those workshops they are organizing. Any change to the workshop organization team must be submitted in writing at least two weeks before the workshop paper deadline. No changes to the workshop organization team can be made after this date to ensure that potential participants submitting papers to workshops are aware of the final organization team.
After sending your proposal to the aforementioned email address, you will receive an acknowledgment of receipt. The committee will review the workshop proposal, and notifications of acceptance will be sent out after the review period.
For workshops there will be no “PCS” system provided and it is up to the organizer to handle the paper submission and reviews including the review system.
