The fifth edition of the European Conference on Interactive Television (EuroITV) was organized by CWI (Centrum Voor Wiskunde en Informatica), Amsterdam. Previously, EuroITV was organized by Athens University of Economics and Business (2006), Aalborg University (2005), and Brighton University (2004 and 2003). EuroITV07 was held in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and co-sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).
The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from different regions and diverse disciplines. This volume includes contributions from Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania, with researchers representing disciplines such as media studies, audiovisual design, multimedia, human – computer interaction, and management. This way, the conference tries to develop a common framework for this multi-disciplinary (usability, multimedia, narrative) and new field, interactive television. Because of the multi-disciplinary nature of the field, the conference was held in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group onMultimedia (ACM SIGMM), ACM Special Interest Group on Computer – Human Interaction (ACM SIGCHI), and ACM Special Interest Group on Hypertext, Hypermedia and Web (ACM SIGWEB).
