** EuroITV 2013: Thinking Outside the Box
**
** 11th European Interactive TV Conference
** June 24-26 2013, Como, Italy
**
EuroITV is the leading international conference for media
and interaction related to video and television.
During the past years, new technologies brought tremendous
change to the TV industries by shifting the value control
point from distribution to consumption. This year's theme
"Thinking Outside the Box" is a stimulus to explore how these
changes might affect television, by exploring new perspectives
and leveraging cross-domain synergy.
Researchers and practitioners from all over the world meet
to discuss latest advances in media technology, HCI, systems
& technology, media studies, personalization and
recommender systems, and content creation community.
We invite original, high quality papers submissions
addressing how digital technologies open up new ways of
consumption and interaction with rich-media content.
The main conference proceedings, in cooperation with ACM,
SIGCHI, SIGWEB and SIGMM, will be published by ACM DL.
Selected papers will be short-listed for submission to special
edition journals.
This year's conference consists of four tracks - each with
its own program committee and separate track chairs. Full and
short papers 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. More details on each
track can be found on the website.
