1st Call for submissions to the "ITV in Industry" Track
The EuroITV2009 organizing committee invites practitioners to submit
original contributions from various industry domains (e.g. consumer
electronics, broadcasters, producers, broadband companies, software and
hardware developers, telecom operators). These contributions, in the form
of a one-pager, should address issues regarding interactive television
that are specific to your business and that illustrate interactive
television practices at your company.
The "iTV in Industry" track is targeted towards practitioners and
professionals working in the field of interactive television. The track

All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential
