25^th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction
(9-13 October 2023)

ICMI 2023 call for tutorial proposals

ACM ICMI 2023 seeks half-day (3-4 hours) tutorial proposals addressing current and emerging topics within the scope of “Science of Multimodal Interactions”.  Tutorials are intended to provide a high-quality learning experience to participants with a varied range of backgrounds. It is expected that tutorials are self-contained.

Prospective organizers should submit a 4-page (maximum) proposal containing the following information:

1. Title
2. Abstract appropriate for possible Web promotion of the Tutorial
3. A short list of the distinctive topics to be addressed
4. Learning objectives (specific and measurable objectives)
5. The targeted audience (student / early stage / advanced researchers, pré-requisite knowledge, field of study)
6. Detailed description of the Tutorial and its relevance to multimodal interaction
7. Outline of the tutorial content with a tentative schedule and its duration
8. Description of the presentation format (number of presenters, interactive sessions, practicals)
9. Accompanying material (repository, references) and equipment, emphasizing any required material from the organization committee (subject to approval)
10. Short biography of the organizers (preferably from multiple institutions) together with their contact information and a list of 1-2 key publications related to the tutorial topic
11. Previous editions: If the tutorial was given before, describe when and where it was given, and if it will be modified for ACM ICMI 2023.

Proposals will be evaluated using the following criteria:

• Importance of the topic and the relevance to ACM ICMI 2023 and its main theme: “Science of Multimodal Interactions”
• Presenters’ experience
• Adequateness of the presentation format to the topic
• Targeted audience interest and impact
• Accessibility and quality of accompanying materials (open access)

Proposals that focus exclusively on the presenters’ own work or commercial presentations are not acceptable.

Unless explicitly mentioned and agreed by the Tutorial chairs, the tutorial organizers will take care of any specific requirements which are related to the tutorial such as specific handouts, mass storages, rights of distribution (material, handouts, etc.), copyrights, etc.

Contact Details

Proposals should be emailed to the ICMI 2023 Tutorial Chairs, Prof. Hatice Gunes and Dr. Guillaume Chanel:  icmi2023-tutorial-chairs@acm.org

Prospective organizers are also encouraged to contact the co-chairs if they have any questions.
