IEEE International Workshop on Human Computer Interaction 2005 (in conjunction with ICCV'2005) http://www.science.uva.nl/~nicu/HCI2005/ October 21, 2005, Beijing, China. 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 July 4, 2005: Submission of full paper August 2, 2005: Notification of acceptance August 15, 2005: Camera-ready full paper PAPER SUBMISSION The authors should email full papers (no longer than 10 pages in the Springer LNCS style in English), to lim@liacs.nl with the following information: (1) Title of paper & short abstract summarizing the main contribution (2) Names and contact info of all authors, also specifying the contact author. (3) The paper in postscript or PDF format. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. The intention is to have the proceedings published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
