Call for Papers: EuroITV 2011 - 9th European Interactive TV Conference - Lisbon, Portugal: June 29th to July 1st 2011

EuroITV is the leading international conference for media related to video and television. EuroITV is attended by academia and professionals from all over the world to discuss latest advances and research of media technology, HCI, media studies, and the content creation community. The 9th EuroITV conference will take place in the beautiful city of Lisbon, Portugal, on June 29th to July 1st 2011. The EuroITV 2011 hosts are Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias and Lisbon Internet and Networks Institute.

CONFERENCE THEME
The special theme is "Ubiquitous TV", with a focus on the redefinition of the concept of television itself, as it now refers not to a specific device, but rather a specific kind of content present almost everywhere, from the traditional TV set, to the PC, passing through the mobile phone or the screens in taxis and throughout the city, freeing television from the TV set and bringing it out of the home. Ubiquitous TV’s key aspects will be considered, such as mobility, interactivity, personalization, empowerment (control, participation and UGC), and the social network mediation of communication practices.

CONFERENCE TRACKS
This year’s conference consists of four tracks, each with their own program committee and separate track chairs, coordinated by three overall program chairs. Full papers, short papers and posters have to be submitted in one of these tracks, to optimize the review process. If not sure, choose the track which is closest to the main topic of your submission, and of which you feel that community is most appropriate to review your work.

Track 1: Human-Computer Interaction
Track 2: Media, Social and Economic Studies
Track 3: Systems and Enabling Technologies
Track 4: Interactive Content & Arts

Paper submissions will be peer-reviewed. The main proceedings will be published by ACM, and be made available in the ACM Digital Library. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for a special issue in a journal.
