7th International Conference on Movement and Computing15-17th July, 2020Jersey City, New Jersey, USAhttps://moco20.movementcomputing.org/submissions Website: https://moco20.movementcomputing.org/ This year’s theme is Movement Sensations In collaboration with our hosts, Mana Contemporary, organizing institutions Rutgers University and Stevens Institute of Technology are pleased to announce the seventh international conference on Movement and Computing (MOCO). We would like to invite submissions for paper presentations, performances, workshops and more to the MOCO which will be held 15-17th July 2020 in Jersey City, NJ. Important Dates
Information about previous conferences can be found here. SubmissionsMOCO is open to a wide range of ways to present your work. In addition to papers for oral and poster presentations, we invite submission 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 creative proposals for practice sessions and are open to novel formats. Topics include but are not limited to (bold topics are new this year):
We encourage submission of a wide range of formats, the submission categories are: Papers and posters
The conference is an opportunity to present original research and details of collaborative work. Participants will have the chance to offer a presentation of the results of their research on one of the themes of the conference and to interact with their scientific/artistic peers, in a friendly and constructive environment. All papers submissions must be anonymous and will be peer-reviewed. The proceedings of the MOCO conference are published on the ACM Digital library under the International Conference Proceedings Series. Practice WorksThe term “practice work” refers to practice-based works in the area of movement and computing. These can either be artistically-oriented descriptions/demonstrations of specific performances or systems, or descriptions of a particular computationally-oriented application. We suggest the following as examples of what a practice work might be, but also stress that the list is not exhaustive, the only criteria being excellence of the work and whether it is possible to present the work given the resources, time, and space available to the conference. Suggested practice work topics include:
Practice works may either be submitted for presentation as posters or demos. Poster submissions will detail a specific approach to the practice of movement and computing. Selected posters will be presented at the conference, and an accompanying extended abstract will be published in the conference proceedings. Demo submissions will outline a live demonstration/performance that will take place at the conference. Demos will take place during dedicated sessions at the conference. Performances may be submitted in the Demo category, in which case a dedicated time will be given for the performance (generally up to 10 minutes), however due to the configuration of Mana Contemporary and the conference schedule, Demo performances will take place in a shared gallery space (and not on a proscenium stage). Practitioners submitting in the Demo category will have the option of including an ACM-formatted extended abstract for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Poster Practice Works submissions consist of the following items combined into one pdf document. Please note, all submissions must be anonymous--this includes external media:
Demo Practice Works submissions consist of the following items combined into one pdf document. Please note, all submissions must be anonymous--this includes external media:
Please note that we are an academic conference with a low fee which means we cannot pay for commissioned work or provide any financial compensation to submitters in this category. All accepted submissions will require at least one author to register for the conference. Graduate ConsortiumSubmissions in this category represent an opportunity for graduate students to 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 with other graduate students at a similar stage of their research. Accepted papers will be presented as posters in a dedicated “poster tour” session where authors will have an opportunity to orally present a short elevator pitch to experts in the field. We encourage students to submit a paper even if they are early in their graduate career. Papers should not be longer than 4 pages including references in the appropriate ACM format (see below). The first author must be a current graduate student (at the time of submission). Graduate Consortium papers will be indexed and published in the conference proceedings. Videos and other supplementary materials are welcomed. Students accepted to present their work at the Graduate Consortium must plan to attend it.
