Proceedings of the ACM International Conference on Interactive Experiences for TV and Online Video

Abstract

We are very pleased that we can present to you an exciting program for ACM TVX 2015, which has been put together based on many submissions from all around the globe. As the leading international conference for presentation and discussion of research into interactive experiences for online video and TV, the conference brings together international researchers and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines, ranging from human-computer interaction, multimedia engineering and design to media studies, media psychology and sociology, to present and discuss the latest insights in the field. ACM TVX2015 presents research on content production, systems & architectures, interaction technologies & techniques, experience design & evaluation, media studies, empirical methods, data science, business models & marketing and innovation & visions. The call for papers attracted submissions from Asia, Canada, Europe, the United States and South America. Fifty full and short papers were submitted and subjected to a thorough double-blind review process. Each paper was assigned to an Associate Chair (AC) who recruited at least three reviewers per paper and wrote a meta-review summarizing the main points of each review. The review process included a rebuttal period, giving authors the chance to respond to reviewers' comments. During the TPC meeting on March 6, 2015, in Leuven, Belgium, each paper was discussed in depth and the final decision of which papers to accept was made, resulting in a high-quality program of twelve accepted full and short papers and an acceptance rate of 24%. Work in Progress papers were also reviewed by at least three reviewers per paper, of which 13 were accepted (50% acceptance rate) and will be presented as a poster during the conference. Full papers, short papers and Works in Progress are part of the main proceedings and will be included in the ACM Digital Library. In addition to these submissions, there were several other categories that received submissions, resulting in 3 workshops, 3 courses, 6 Doctoral Consortium papers, 9 TVX in Industry presentations, and 13 demos, which are all made available in the adjunct proceedings. Finally, we also encourage attendees to attend the keynote: Empowering storytellers with social media, Jacob Shwirtz (Endemol Beyond USA).
