Dear Colleagues,
may I draw your attention to the CfP for a
special issue on INTERACTION WITH SMART OBJECTS
of the new ACM Journal
Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems
The first issue of TIIS is now available for inspection.
The special issue editors would be pleased to receive
your submission (by November 30^th ).
The CfP is attached, the Web version can be found at

Subject: ACM TiiS special issue on Interaction with Smart Objects
Call for Papers
Special Issue of the
ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems
on INTERACTION WITH SMART OBJECTS
Main submission deadline: November 30th, 2011
http://tiis.acm.org/special-issues.html
AIMS AND SCOPE
"Smart objects" refers to the rapidly growing trend of
introducing computing capabilities into everyday objects and
places. Well-known examples range from smart kitchen appliances
and objects (smart coffee machines, smart knives and cutting
boards, ...) to smart meeting rooms and even city-wide
infrastructures. Smart objects are mostly fully functional on
their own, but value is added by capabilities for communication
and distributed reasoning.
While a lot of research has focused on the many technical
challenges involved in implementing smart objects, far less
research has been conducted on the question of how interaction of
users with these objects can be improved, either by leveraging
the intelligence in the objects or by other means. Smart objects
raise unique challenges and opportunities for designing
interaction with intelligent systems: coping with the mostly
limited interaction capabilities, exploiting context information
to provide more natural interaction, helping the user to
understand the behavior and capabilities of the objects ....
This special issue will publish papers that address these issues
from a variety of perspectives. The dimensions listed below
indicate the range of work that is relevant to the special
issue. In case of doubt about the relevance of your topic, please
contact the guest editors.

ABOUT ACM TiiS
TiiS (pronounced "T double-eye S") is a recently founded ACM
journal for research about intelligent systems that people
interact with. The journal's procedures and infrastructure have
been designed to combine the traditional quality and depth of ACM
journals with the efficiency and predictability of the best-run
conferences. Information on the contents of the inaugural issue is
available on the journal's website.
