The 7th World Multi-Conference on SYSTEMICS, CYBERNETICS AND INFORMATICS (SCI 2003) http://www.iiis.org/sci2003/ July 27-30, 2003 Orlando, Florida (USA), Sheraton World Resort CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL SESSION ON "APPLICATIONS OF CV TECHNIQUES FOR HCI SYSTEMS" A key advantage of computer vision-based interfaces over the classical ones is their transparency from user's perspective. That's it, vision enable computers to perceive the user, to track his movements and actions. Despite recent developments in computer vision techniques and applications, there is still a long way until our environments will be filled with 'smart devices', that will respond at our demands and intentions. The purpose of the current special session is to offer a meeting opportunity for researchers in different applications areas to interact and exchange ideas so that the concepts presented here can be transfered from one application area to another. This special session is intended to cover, but it is not limited to, the following topics: - face localization - gaze and head orientation detection - facial expression recognition - human presence detection - human motion and gesture recognition - activity interpretation - multimodal and perceptual user interfaces - vision-based sensor fusion - scene modeling and understanding Prospective authors are invited to submit a paper (no longer than 6 pages) on any of the above (or related) topics. Authors are highly encouraged to submit electronically a PS or PDF file manuscript (for large files, a compressed version is recomended) to the special session organizer: Bogdan Raducanu ( mailto:b.m.raducanu@tue.nl ) Alternatively, authors may submit a hardcopy version of the manuscript to the following address: B.M. Raducanu, Technical University of Eindhoven - TU/e IPO Bldg - Room 1.32, Den Dolech 2, P.O.
