ICMI-PUI 2003 First Call for Papers Fifth International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces November 5-7, 2003 Vancouver, Canada http://icmi.cs.ucsb.edu We're pleased to announce the first call for papers for the upcoming International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI-PUI'03), which will be held Nov. 5-7, 2003 in Vancouver, Canada. This event represents the merger of past Perceptive User Interface Workshops with the previous International Conferences on Multimodal Interfaces initiated in China - which now have joined together to create one annual ACM-sponsored international conference. This conference will present the latest multidisciplinary work on multimodal interfaces, systems and applications. Topics of special interest to the conference include multimodal input and output interfaces, fusion techniques & hybrid architectures, processing of language and action patterns, gaze and vision-based interfaces, speech & conversational interfaces, pen-based interfaces, haptics interfaces, cognitive modeling of users, AI techniques & adaptive multimodal interfaces, multibiometric interfaces, multimodal-multisensor interfaces, interfaces for attentive & intelligent environments, mobile, tangible & virtual/augmented multimodal interfaces, universal access interfaces, and tools & system infrastructure issues for designing multimodal interfaces. Submissions for all categories (full paper, short paper, panel proposal, demo proposal) are due April 21, 2003. See the conference web site, http://icmi.cs.ucsb.edu , for details.
