International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces
Call for Papers
(Apologies if you receive duplicates)

Following the success of the previous three conferences held in 1996, 1999
and 2000, the fourth International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces
(ICMI'2002) will be held in Pittsburgh, 14-16 October 2002. ICMI'02 brings
multimodal interface researchers, developers and end-users together to
present, demonstrate and discuss their latest work. It will also provide
those interested in multimodal interfaces a unique opportunity to keep
abreast with the latest development in this increasingly important subject.

Multimodal interfaces represent an emerging interdisciplinary research
direction, involving spoken language understanding, natural language
understanding, image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition,
experimental psychology, etc. They aim at efficient, convenient and natural
interaction and communication between computers and human users. Multimodal
interfaces will ultimately enable users to interact with computers using
their everyday skills.

Papers describing original work on all aspects of multimodal interfaces are
solicited.

Topics include but are not limited to the following:
* Perceptual computing models and systems
* Speech recognition and synthesis
* Character and handwriting recognition
* Hand gesture and lip-motion recognition
* Gaze tracking, face detection and facial expression recognition
* Machine translation and multilingual interfaces
* Computer graphics for multimodal interfaces
* Sensors for multimodal interfaces
* Affective computing for HCI
* Distributed HCI
* Multimodal interfaces for the Internet and virtual reality
* Multimodal interfaces for wearable and mobile computing
* Multimodal interfaces for the disabled
* Human factors in multimodal interfaces
* Platforms and tools

S u b m i s s i o n
Papers must be written in English and should be no longer than 6 pages
single spaced, and should use a font no smaller than 10-point. All printed
material must follow the CS press specifications
(http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm) . The title page should
include the title of the paper, an abstract (200-300 words), a list of
keywords, and the authors' contact details (postal and email addresses, fax
and phone numbers). Electronic files should be in PDF or PostScript.

In addition, proposals for demonstrations are encouraged. A 1-2 page
description of the demonstration is required. The template is the same as
for the paper guidelines. (See above)

P u b l i c a t i o n
Papers accepted for presentation at the Conference will be included in the
Proceedings to be published by CS press.
