International Workshop on Human Computer Interaction 2004 (in conjunction with ECCV'2004) WWW: http://skynet.liacs.nl/hci2004/ May 16, 2004, Prague, Czech Republic. DESCRIPTION The interests and goals of HCI include understanding, designing, building and evaluating complex interactive systems involving many people and many technologies. Developments in software and hardware technologies are continuously driving applications in supporting our collaborative and communicative needs as social beings, both at work and at play. At the same time, similar developments are pushing the human-computer interface beyond the desktop and into our pockets, streets and buildings. Developments in mobile, wearable and pervasive communications and computing technologies provide exciting challenges and opportunities for HCI. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the field of computer vision whose work is related to human computer interaction. We are soliciting original contributions that address a wide range of theoretical and application issues in human computer interaction including, but not limited to: * Affective HCI, emotion, motivational aspects * Multimedia data modeling and visualization * Multimodal event detection and recognition * Human motion and gesture recognition * HCI issues in image/video retrieval * Learning aspects in HCI * Input and interactions techniques * Perceptual user interfaces * Wearable and pervasive technologies in HCI IMPORTANT DATES February 1, 2003: Submission of full paper February 23, 2003: Notification of acceptance March 8, 2003: Camera-ready full paper WORKSHOP CHAIRS Nicu Sebe, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Michael Lew, LIACS Media Lab, The Netherlands Thomas Huang, Univ. of illinois at Urbana-Champaign PROGRAM COMMITTEE Kiyo Aizawa, University of Tokyo, Japan Alberto Del Bimbo, University of Florence, Italy Roberto Cipolla, University of Cambridge, UK Ira Cohen, HP Labs, USA Marc Davis, University of California, Berkeley Ashutosh Garg, IBM Research, USA Theo Gevers, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Alan Hanjalic, TU Delft, The Netherlands Alejandro Jaimes, FujiXerox, Japan Jan Nesvadba, Philips Research, The Netherlands Alex Pentland, MIT, USA Rosalind Picard, MIT, USA Stan Sclaroff, Boston University, USA John R.
