Call for Paper
The First International Workshop on Multimodal Interactions Analysis of Users a Controlled Environment (MIAUCE) is a satellite event of the Tenth International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI 2008) that will take place in Chania, on the island of Crete, Greece, on October 20-22, 2008.The workshop intends to bring together diversity of international researchers and practitioners who are currently working in the area of multimodal interactions and its applications in multimedia systems. It will explore the advances of multimodal interaction techniques including (but not limited to):
- body move and gesture analysis
- visual field, gaze/fixation estimation
- eye blink detection
- facial expression and emotions
- etc.
The workshop aims to study techniques that capture and analyze multi-modal behaviour in controlled environments. As a result of such analysis, information should be adapted to the user needs and situation. Its goal is to stimulate interest in this field and to create productive synergy among researchers who are working in this fascinating area. Prominent researchers both from academia and industry are invited to attend and show advances in the state-of-the-art in the field. The workshop also aims to study the usage and the effectiveness of the techniques in several applications:
- Security,
- Customized marketing,
- Interactive web TV,
- Etc.
Besides, the workshop aims to investigate the legal and ethical requirements necessary to design systems and applications. We encourage submissions of papers that deal with the social acceptability of these ambient intelligence technologies (multi-modal behaviour capture). The social study would guarantee the success of the multimodal interfaces and their implementations. The workshop is interested in how to formulate recommendations that will be presented to the policy makers (private and public).
