Call for Papers
The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction, ICMI 2014,
will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, November 12-16, 2014. ICMI is
the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on
multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces,
and system development. The conference focuses on theoretical and
empirical foundations, component technologies, and combined
multimodal processing techniques that define the field of multimodal
interaction analysis, interface design, and system development. ICMI
2014 will feature a single-track main conference which includes:
keynote speakers, technical full and short papers (including oral
and poster presentations), special sessions, demonstrations,
exhibits and doctoral spotlight papers. The conference will be
preceded by workshops and followed by grand challenges. The
proceedings of ICMI 2014 will be published by ACM as part of their
series of International Conference Proceedings.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Multimodal interaction processing
Machine learning, pattern recognition and signal processing
approaches for the analysis and modeling of multimodal interaction
between people and among the different modalities within people;
adaptation and multimodal input fusion and output generation,
addressing any combination of: vision, gaze, audio, speech,
smell/olfaction, taste, gestures, pen input, haptic and tangible,
bio-signals such as brain, skin conductivity, etc.
Interactive systems and applications
Mobile and ubiquitous systems, automotive and navigation
systems, human-robot and human-virtual agent interaction, virtual
and augmented reality, education, authoring, entertainment,
gaming, telepresence, assistive and prosthetic systems,
brain-computer interfaces, universal access, healthcare, biometry,
intelligent environments, meeting analysis and meeting spaces,
indexing, retrieval and summarization, etc.
Modeling human communication patterns
The modalities and the applications named above lead to a need
for multimodal models of human-human and human-machine
communication, including verbal and nonverbal interaction,
affordances of different modalities, multimodal discourse and
dialogue modeling, modeling of culture as it pertains to
multimodality, long-term multimodal interaction, multimodality in
social and affective interaction, multimodal social signal
processing.
Data, evaluation and standards for multimodal interactive systems
Design issues, principles and best practices and authoring
techniques for human-machine interfaces using any combinations of
input and/or output multiple modalities. Architectures; assessment
techniques and methodologies; corpora; annotation and browsing of
multimodal interactive data; W3C and other standards for
multimodal interaction and interfaces, evaluation techniques for
multimodal systems.
Urban Interactions
Interactions with the city, urban computation, smart cities,
applications to promote energy conservation and healthy
living, interactive public spaces, interactive artworks in the city,
applications for inclusion in metropolitan areas, mobile applications
for interacting with the city, crowdsourcing via urban interactions.
Submissions in these areas are invited for
workshop topics, special session topics, full papers, short papers,
demos, and for the doctoral consortium.
Conference Venue
The conference will be held at Bogazici University Campus in Istanbul.
