The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP) provides an intimate, immersive forum for researchers who combine knowledge, methods, and insights from perception research and computer science disciplines.
This explicitly includes such disciplines as cognitive psychology, perceptual psychology, psychophysics, behavior-analysis, and neuroscience on the perceptual side and computer graphics, computer vision, visualization, and human-computer interfaces on the visual computing side to name just a few!
The interdisciplinary focus of this conference explicitly acknowledges that the various scientific disciplines in perception research and computer science research use different but complementary methods to address fundamentally similar questions. As such, combinations of knowledge, methods, and/or insights from the different fields can help to advance all of the applied perception fields.
Submission Guidelines
Research can be submitted as long paper (up to 8 pages) or as a short paper (up to 4 pages). In all cases, the page limit is EXCLUSIVE of the pages devoted to bibliographic references and appendices. The authors are explicitly encouraged to include a full citation list.
All submissions should follow the general SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. Please submit all papers formatted for a double-blind review. Diagrams and images should be in color where appropriate. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the conference.
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Research that is not accepted as a paper will automatically be considered for the poster session. Authors can, of course, decline to have their work be considered as a poster. There will be a separate call for posters as well.
Possibilities for Journal Publication
Under an agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the ACM Publications Board, the strongest accepted papers will be offered publication as full papers in the ACM journal TAP (instead of appearing in the proceedings). Authors of such special issue papers must agree to present the paper at ACM SAP. As has always been the case, authors of regular ACM SAP papers can still submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate additions. Papers that have been recommended for acceptance in the ACM TAP journal will undergo a second review cycle, during which the authors will revise the paper to address reviewer concerns (similar to conditional acceptances at ACM SIGGRAPH). Please note that TAP referrals are conditional. The TAP reviewers may recommend bringing the paper back to the SAP proceedings if the quality of the revision is inadequate. Therefore, it is very important to incorporate as many reviewer comments as possible into the revision.
The revised paper has to be submitted in TAP format to Manuscript Central and must include a cover letter stating that the submission is for the SAP special issue. The cover letter should also document the list of changes made to the paper to address the reviewer's concerns. Please note that TAP has a 20 page limit INCUDING references. Reformatting, a paper from the SAP format to the TAP format typically adds a few pages. Complete TAP author guidelines and templates are available at tap.acm.org/authors.cfm.
List of Topics
We invite submissions of original work in all areas of applied perception, regardless of sensory modality (vision, haptics, acoustics, proprioception, etc.). The focus of the work can be either perceptual or computational, but each submission must – as always – include elements of both perception and visual computing.
Relevant approaches include:
- Application of perceptual research to any area of computer science, including:
- modeling, rendering, animation;
- virtual environments, characters;
- processing information from artificial sensors;
- representation of data, communication of data;
-
Applications of computer science to any area of perception, such as:
- modeling natural perceptual systems;
- simulating natural perceptual systems;
- systematic study of natural perceptual systems.
