4th – 6th July 2012 - Berlin, Germany
http://www.euroitv2012.org/

**Call for Short Papers, Posters, Demos, Doctoral Consortium and Industry Cases**
Deadline for submissions: 4th March, 2012

EuroITV is the leading international conference for media and interaction related to video and television. This year's theme of "Bridging People, Places and Platforms" focuses on synergies to support current practice and to explore new perspectives – empowering users to interact with content and each other across localities and across various delivery platforms and media.

Researchers and practitioners from all over the world meet to discuss latest advances on media technology, HCI, systems & technology, media studies, and the content creation community. We invite original, high quality submissions addressing how digital technologies open up new ways of consumption and interaction with rich-media content. Short papers should present mature work, offering a smaller but still significant contribution to interactive television research, and is not intended for presenting preliminary results or work in progress.

This year’s conference consists of three tracks -- each with its own program committee and separate track chairs -- coordinated by two overall program chairs. 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. More details on each track can be found on the website: http://www.euroitv2012.org/

Track 1: Human-Computer Interaction
Track 2: Media, Social and Economic Studies
Track 3: Systems and Enabling Technologies

Key areas considered are:
