———————————————————————————————————————
10-12th October, Tempe, Arizona
Arizona State University, USA
Arizona State University [ASU] will host the 2019 the 6th International
Conference on Movement and Computing [MOCO] which is to be held in
Tempe, Arizona.
The MOCO 2019 theme will be Movement Imaginaries. Paper presentations,
panels, performances, demos, workshops on all MOCO-related topics are
welcome. MOCO is an interdisciplinary conference that explores the use
of computational technology to support and understand human movement
practice, as well as movement as a means of interacting with computers.
We welcome submissions with an interdisciplinary understanding of
movement that ranges from biomechanics to embodied cognition and the
phenomenology of bodily experience and identities. We therefore invite
submissions from a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited
to: Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Dance, Artificial
Intelligence, Neuroscience, Sports Science, Machine Learning, Cognitive
Science, Visual Arts, Robotics, Philosophy, Anthropology, Music,
Affective Computing, Games, Healthcare and Animation.
All proposal abstracts for roundtables, panel sessions, contributed
papers, and posters must be submitted by Wednesday, February 27, 2019
(midnight EDT). See http://moco2019.webflow.io/submissions for more information.

Submission
——————————
We would like to invite submissions for paper presentations,
performances, workshops and more to the 6th International Conference on
Movement and Computing (MOCO) which is to be held in Tempe, Arizona.
MOCO is open to a wide range of ways of presenting your work. As well as
papers for oral and poster presentations, we invite submission of a
wide range of practice work such as demos, performances, games, artistic
works and movement workshops (in which participants take part in a
guided movement activity). We encourage submitters to be creative in
proposals for practice sessions and are open to novel formats.
This requires a wide range of computational tasks including modeling,
representation, segmentation, recognition, classification, or generation
of movement information but also an interdisciplinary understanding of
movement that ranges from biomechanics to embodied cognition and the
phenomenology of bodily experience. We therefore invite submissions from
a wide range of disciplines including (but not limited to):
Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Dance, Artificial Intelligence,
Neuroscience, Sports Science, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science,
Visual Arts, Robotics, Philosophy, Anthropology, Music, Affective
Computing, Games, Healthcare and Animation.
————————————
Suggested Topics
————————————
• Expressive movement-based interaction
• Movement analysis and analytics
• Machine learning for movement
• Movement representation

TRACKS
——————————
MOCO is open to a wide range of ways of presenting your work. Besides
papers for oral and poster presentation, we invite submission of
practice works such as demos, performances, games, artistic works and
movement workshops (in which participants take part in a guided movement
activity).
All submissions must be anonymous and will be peer-reviewed.
Accepted contributions will be included in the MOCO proceedings.
Additionally, accepted long and short papers will be indexed and published in ACM digital library.
All submissions must be written in English, in pdf format and submitted online via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=moco2019
Please prepare your submissions in the ACM proceedings format using the templates (in Word and LaTeX) available from http://moco2019.webflow.io/submissions
PAPERS and POSTERS:
Accepted submissions are:
- Long paper with oral presentation (8 pages maximum, including references)
- Short paper with oral presentation (4 pages maximum, including references)
- Extended abstract with poster presentation (6 pages maximum in the extended abstract format, including references)
Authors of papers and posters may submit an accompanying demonstration
proposal in addition to their regular paper or poster submission, by
completing the proposal form for practice works (see items 2 and 3 in
the next section) and sending it along with their submission. Together
with the form, authors have to provide a link to a video about their
work. The proposal form for practice works is mandatory for all paper
and poster submissions including an accompanying demonstration and must
include details about technical set-up and space requirements.
PRACTICE WORKS:
We deliberately use a very open term – “practice work” – to encourage
diverse ideas of what practice in movement and computing is and how such
practice can be presented. We suggest the following as examples of what
a practice work might be, but also stress that the list is not
exhaustive and any types of presentation can be considered, the only
criteria being excellence of the work and whether it is possible to
stage the work given the resources, time and space available to the
conference.
Suggested practice works topics:
* Technology demos
* Performances (e.g., dance, physical performance, music)
* Artworks
* Interactive Installations
* Movement workshops (i.e., a session in which participants engage in movement based activity)
* Games
* Video presentations
Submissions consist of:
1. An extended abstract (2 pages maximum).
2. The proposal form for practice work, including detailed technical
requirements and possible additional information. Forms are available at
https://moco19.movementcomputing.org/submissions.html
3. Supporting media (videos, pictures, audio, and so on), which should
provide an overview of the practical work and details of the practical
and technical requirements for putting the work on (this is very
important to ensure that we can accommodate the work within the
resources of our conference).
Extended abstract for practice work with presentation format to be
suggested by the author for example demonstration, performance, art
work, movement workshop, game or other practice presentation (2 pages
maximum + Demo proposal form). Please note that we are an academic
conference with a low fee which means we cannot pay for commissioned
performances and art work. Also, we cannot guarantee facilities for all
possible sessions, so please give full details of your needs in the
proposal form so we can judge whether it is possible.
Submissions will be by extended abstract (2 pages maximum) and a
proposal form which will give details of the practical requirements for
putting on the work (this is very important to ensure that we can
accommodate the work within the resources of our conference).
Please note that we are an academic conference with a low fee which
means we cannot pay for commissioned performances and art work. Also, we
cannot guarantee facilities for all possible sessions, so please give
full details of your needs in the proposal form so we can judge whether
it is possible.
DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM :
Doctoral papers are an opportunity for PhD students to present their
work in progress on their doctorate, share and develop their research
ideas in a supportive environment and with the participation of experts
in the field. Students will have the opportunity to establish a
community, together with other doctoral students at a similar stage of
their research. Accepted papers will have an oral presentation in a
dedicated session. We encourage students to submit a paper even if they
are early in their doctoral work.
Papers should not be longer than 4 pages including the references. The
first author must be an actual PhD student. Doctoral Consortium papers
will be indexed and published in the ACM digital library. Videos and
other supplementary materials are highly welcomed. Students accepted to
present their work at the Doctoral Consortium must plan to attend it.
DANCE STUDIES ASSOCIATION (DSA) REGISTRATION:
MOCO extends a special invitation to DSA graduate students to apply to
the doctoral consortium. Graduate student presenters will receive
feedback from a wide variety of members of the extended ASU/MOCO
community This is an excellent place to present or propose an MFA thesis
work, or to summarize and reflect on a series of works. Potential
applicants should keep in mind MOCO considers computation broadly; and
may relate to notational, archival projects, performance/installation
works with responsive media systems, or studies relating to dance which
features for example media studies, annotation, or computational
analysis.
As part of this cooperation, and with DSA support, MOCO will waive
registration fees for three Graduate Student DSA member applicants;
those interested in applying for this competitive support will be
provided an opportunity to indicate this on their application.

CONFERENCE LOCATION
————————————
ASU is a massive Research One university, giving the conference access
to a great diversity of programs, practices, and scholars working here.
MOCO at ASU presents a unique opportunity to build upon existing fields
of interests and forge new avenues for research and knowledge creation
that resonate across the arts and sciences and branch into health,
philosophy, education and other application areas that include both
computational techniques and human movement. The range of
interdisciplinary labs and centers and the beautiful October weather
make this an ideal locale for the conference. ASU is located about
fifteen minutes from the Phoenix Airport.
