The Chair of Educaton manages the Education Committee, which works to support computer graphics education and the use of computer graphics in education. Computer graphics education encompasses technical, creative, and developmental studies in curricular areas ranging from computer science to digital arts. The Education Committee undertakes a broad range of projects and activities in support of the CG education community, such as curriculum studies, resources for educators, and SIGGRAPH conference-related activities, including the international, juried SpaceTime Student Competition & Exhibition.

The Chair of Information Services runs the Information Services Committee (ISC) and manages the ACM SIGGRAPH internet infrastructure and works closely with the Communications & Membership Committee to manage content development.  This position also work closely with the ACM Information Services team and manages a paid contractor.

HCITOCH 2018 will be composed of research presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, doctoral consortium, demos, research-in-progress, poster presentations, and parallel sessions.

The works must be submitted following the instructions found on the submission of papers section. All accepted works will be published in the respective conference proceedings (in printed book form, CD/DVD and magazine) by international and prestigious publishing houses in America and Europe:
http://www.ainci.com/HCITOCH-2018/workshop_hcitoch_2018_publications.html

Post-conference publishing Handbook of Research. IGI Global –www.igi-global.com: Hershey, Pennsylvania – USA (Publications have been indexed in a number of prestigious indices such as Thomson Reuters, DBLP, ACM Digital Library, ERIC, and the Australian Education Index).

An academic CD proceedings version –not commercial (distribution in the room), with ISBN and DOI (Blue Herons Editions –www.blueherons.net).

The contributions are will be submitted for indexation by EI Compendex, Thomson Reuters, Scopus, IET Inspec and dblp.Uni-Trie.de.

Very Important! The authors can present more than one paper/demo/poster, etc. with only one registration (maximum 3 contributions) with only one registration (i.e. papers = 18 pages each one of them). More information, here: http://www.ainci.com/HCITOCH-2018/workshop_hcitoch_2018_paper.html

All contributions –papers, workshops, demos, doctoral consortium, research-in-progress, etc., should be of high quality, originality, clarity, significance and impact. In the current international symposium/conference it is demonstrated how with a correct integration among professionals of formal and factual sciences interesting research lines in the following subjects: Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Tourism, Cultural Heritage, Quality Design, Communicability, Internet of Things, Ubiquitous Computing, Collaborative Environments for Natural and Cultural Heritage, Digitization for Conservation, Archaeological Archives with New Technologies and other Computational and Arts Areas are solicited on, but not limited to: (alphabetical order):
http://www.ainci.com/HCITOCH-2018/workshop_hcitoch_2018_topics.html

An extensive listing connotes and reflects the requirement and also skill necessary to find intersection zones of the disciplines among the different domains, fields, and specialities; which at the same time potentially boosts and merges the formerly different scientific views.

All submitted papers, demos, posters, etc., will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted contributions who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their works.

Deadlines:

• Works Submissions: Open. Consequently, as they are received, they will be evaluated. It is a way to speed up the process to make up the final program of the international workshop. In other words, it is not necessary to wait until the deadline to send them for the evaluation.
  • Papers Submissions: July, 3rd – local time in Hawaiian Islands
  • Authors Notification: Two or three weeks after the submission/s
  • Camera-ready, full papers: September, 13th
