CO-LOCATED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW

30TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONSUMER ELECTRONICS 2012

Conference Theme:  Cloud Enhanced Consumer Electronics

 

 Printable Call For Papers Version

 

The International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE), now in its 30th year, is soliciting technical papers for oral and poster presentation at ICCE 2012.

NEW this year:
1. As in past years, authors who wish to submit a full paper to the IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics may submit a two page summary to the ICCE.  Please note that acceptance of  a paper at the ICCE does not guarantee acceptance in the Transactions. Full papers submitted to the Transactions will under go the full review process of the Transactions, which is independent of the ICCE review process.
 
2. Authors who do not intend to submit a full paper to the IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics may submit an extended paper of up to four pages to the conference proceedings. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Explore.
Note: Extended papers published in the ICCE Proceedings are NOT eligible to be published in the IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics.

Authors that are unsure which option to consider should note that the scope of the ICCE is broader than that of the Transactions. Extended papers may be published in the conference proceedings that may not fall with in the scope of the transactions.


3. Authors may select to present a poster.
Authors can select the option of their choice, when they submit their paper proposal. Please note that all paper proposals require a two page abstract.


4. Authors may submit a proposal to demonstrate their research in the conference “Hall Way”. Please contact the General Chair ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or Technical Chair ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you are interested in demonstrating your work in an interactive environment.

The ICCE is the leading Consumer Electronics Conference and has a long history with many of the world’s leading researchers participating. Papers reporting new developments in all areas of consumer electronics are invited, including but not limited to those listed below. This year, papers relating to Cloud Enhanced Consumer Electronics Devices and Services are particularly welcome. Topics around this major theme will be content of  special sessions  and tutorials. ICCE 2012 will start and overlap with the final day of CES (Friday). The Friday program will feature our Conference Keynote and a Review of CES by a number of IEEE technical experts followed by a panel discussion. In addition a number of highly topical invited sessions will feature throughout the day on Friday. A discounted conference rate is available for Friday-only delegates. Keep an eye on our website for further details of the social and partner programs.

 

Additional Conference Sessions: ICCE has always prided itself on covering a broad spectrum of research activity relevant to Consumer Electronics. ICCE 2012 will incorporate 5 parallel conference tracks of Special, Invited and Associated Sessions allowing coverage of even more topics of current interest to the CE professional.

 

Tutorials: are scheduled during the Conference. Brief proposals should be submitted by June 1st, to the Tutorial Chair Dr Michael Zeifman. Proposals must include title, abstract, detailed outline, as well as bio and contact information for the presenter.

 

Social Activities: in addition to a Welcome Reception on Friday evening and our conference lunches which include presentation of the Ibuka award, there will be organized a spectacular “magical” evening event for all participants.

 

INVITED SESSIONS

 

A number of Invited Sessions on topics of current interest to the CE community are being organized and technical papers on related topics are encouraged. Among the proposed topics for ICCE 2012 are:
(i) CE Technology and the Cloud
(ii) 3D Video Acquisition, Processing and Display
(iii) Home & Personal Healthcare
(iv) Green-Home, Intelligent White Goods, Energy-Management
(v) Smart Grid
(vi) Security & Digital Content,  Intellectual Property & Licensing
(vii) Gesture and Expression Recognition in CE Devices
(viii) Automotive Technologies
(ix) Advances and Challenges in HD Device Interconnects
(x) Product Safety relating to Consumer Devices

 

Please check our website for a current list and status updates on these sessions. If you wish to organize or help with any of the above sessions or propose additional sessions please contact the conference chair or technical chair.

 

ASSOCIATED & SPECIAL SESSIONS

 

A selection of the best papers from ICCE are published each year in the IEEE Trans- actions on Consumer Electronics. Following a new tradition the IEEE Consumer Electronic Society arranges Associated Sessions related to their co-sponsored journals and related Societies. Full papers submitted to ICCE for these sessions will be published in the relevant journals subject to the normal peer review process and editorial discretion.

 

IEEE/OSA Journal on Display Technology
(i) 3D Display Technologies
(ii) Low Power / Energy-Efficient Displays
(iii) Emerging Display Technologies (micro-projectors, ebook displays)

 

IEEE Transactions on Haptics
(i) Enabling Technologies for Haptic CE Devices
(ii) Application of Haptics in CE Systems & Devices

 

IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing
(i) Enabling Technologies for Affective UI in CE Devices
(ii) Application of affective methods and workflows in CE Systems & Devices

 

IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games
(i) Gaming Devices Technology
(ii) Gaming Technologies usable for CE Devices, Systems and Services

 

IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development
(i) Real-time interaction, sensors and effectors in Brain-like CE Devices

 

Please note that unsolicited papers submitted to Invited or Associated Sessions must still follow the normal peer-review process. When submitting such papers please mark/ note that your paper is intended for a particular session but also include a second choice. If you have been solicited by a member of the ICCE TPC or Executive Committee to submit a paper please mark it explicitly as “invited”.

 

Besides others a CEA supported Special Session on New Products & Technologies has been planned. Interested contributors are very welcome to get directly in contact with the Conference Chair or Technical Chair.
