*Call for **Workshops*

The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2017) will be
held in Glasgow, Scotland, during November 13-17, 2017. ICMI is the premier
international conference for multidisciplinary research on multimodal
human-human and human-computer interaction analysis, interface designs, and
system development.

ICMI has developed a tradition of hosting workshops on a day around the
main conference to further foster the mingling and exchanges around new
research, technology, social science models, application and business
opportunities Examples of recent workshops include:

• Workshop on Eye Gaze in Intelligent Human Machine Interaction: Eye-Gaze
and Multimodality
• Workshop on Emotion Representations and Modelling for Human-Computer
Interaction System
• Workshop on Smart Material Interfaces: Another Step to a Material Future
• Workshop on Social Behaviour in Music
• Multimodal, Multi-Party, Real-World Human-Robot Interaction
• Roadmapping the Future of Multimodal Interaction Research including
Business Opportunities and Challenges
• Workshop on Advancements in Social Signal Processing for Multimodal
Interaction
• Workshop on Modeling INTERPERsonal SynchrONy And infLuence INTERPERSONAL
• Workshop on Multimodal Deception Detection

This tradition will continue at ICMI 2017 and the dates of when the
workshops will take place are still to be confirmed. Of interest are
focused workshops on emerging research areas of the main conference topics,
and in particular those favouring multi-disciplinary views around
application areas, business opportunities, or societal challenges. The
format, style, and content of accepted workshops are under the control of
the workshop organizers. Workshops may be of a half-day or one day in
duration. Workshop organizers will be expected to manage the workshop
content, be present to moderate the discussion and panels, invite experts
in the domain, and maintain a website for the workshop. Workshop papers
will be indexed by ACM.


*Submission*

Prospective workshop organizers are invited to submit proposals in PDF
format (max 3 pages).
*Please email proposals to the workshop chairs:*

[UAI] ICMI 2017 Awards - Request for Nominations

2017-05-12 Thread Fatma Meawad
The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) is the
premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal
human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system
development. We are requesting nominations for two awards which will be
presented during ICMI 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland (November 13-17):

   - *Sustained Accomplishment Award:* This award will be given to a senior
   scientist who has made innovative, long-lasting, and influential
   contributions to the field of multimodal interaction, interfaces, and
   systems. The nominee will have demonstrated vision in shaping the field,
   had a sustained record of high-impact research, pioneered one or more
   research directions, and substantially influenced the work of others.
   - *Community Service Award:* This award will be given to scientist who
   has made invaluable social-organizational contributions that have
   collectively had a major impact on improving the ICMI community and its
   annual events. Emphasis will be placed on selecting an individual who has
   made major contributions over a sustained period of five years or longer,
   including ones that have diversified and built the community, expanded
   opportunities for student training and participation, and similarly
   influential contributions.



*Nomination Process:* The deadline for Nominations in both categories is *June
12, 2017*. Nominations may be received from any member of the multimodal
interaction (ICMI) community. Each nomination will include a 500-word
statement regarding the nominee’s relevant contributions, a five-page
resume of the nominee, and the names and contact information of three
members of the ICMI community who are prepared to endorse the nomination if
contacted. Nominations should be emailed to the ICMI Steering Board Chair
(Louis-Philippe Morency, more...@cs.cmu.edu).



*Selection Process:* The 2017 Awards Committee will review nominations for
each award category, determine whether it is appropriate to give an award
for each of the categories, and make a final decision. The Committee might
also determine to give more than one award in a given category. Conflict of
interest procedures prohibit that any members of the Awards Committee be
considered for an award while serving on the committee, or that they
participate in evaluating any candidate with whom they have had significant
professional collaborations or from whom they have received financial
remuneration.



Please feel free to direct any questions directly to Louis-Philippe

The 19th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2017)
will be held in Glasgow, Scotland. ICMI is the premier international forum
for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer
interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference focuses on
theoretical and empirical foundations, component technologies, and combined
multimodal processing techniques that define the field of multimodal
interaction analysis, interface design, and system development.

The ICMI 2017 Demonstrations & Exhibits session is intended to provide a
forum to showcase innovative implementations, systems and technologies
demonstrating new ideas about interactive multimodal interfaces. We
particularly encourage demonstration of interactive and multimodal analysis
systems and sensors. They can also serve to introduce commercial products.



Proposals may be of two types: demonstrations and exhibits. The main
difference is that demonstrations include a short paper (2 pages), which
will be included in ICMI proceedings, while the exhibits only need to
include a short outline (no more than 1 page). We encourage both the
submission of early research prototypes and interesting mature systems. In
addition, authors of accepted regular research papers are invited to
participate in the demonstration sessions as well.



This year will feature a Multimodal Resources track to showcase novel
corpora, annotation tools and schemes. Demonstrations in this track will
benefit from more exposure to visitors, and will allow visitors to interact
with the material.

Demo Submission

A 1-2 page description of the demonstration is required, which must be
submitted electronically through the main ICMI conference management system
(https://precisionconference.com/~icmi). Demo description(s) must be in PDF
format, according to the ACM conference format, of no more than 2 pages in
length including references (template available at:
http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template#aL2). Demo proposals
should include a description with photographs and/or screen captures of the
demonstration and, if possible, the URL of a website where a live version
or video of the proposed demo is available. Please note that the accepted
descriptions will be included in ICMI proceedings.

The selection process is juried (curated) by committee, according to
criteria such as: suitability as a demo, scientific or engineering
feasibility of the proposed demo system, application, or interactivity,
alignment with the conference focus, potential to engage the audience, and
overall quality and presentation of the written proposal. Authors are
encouraged to address such criteria in their proposals (paper submission),
along with preparing the short papers mindful of the quality and rigorous
scientific expectations of an ACM publication.

The curated demo program will be selected from the submitted proposals as
well as invited demos from among full-length papers accepted for
presentation at the conference which the committee deems suitable for
demonstration.

Exhibit Submission

Exhibit proposals should be submitted following the same guidelines,
formatting, and due dates as for demo proposals. The main difference is
that exhibits proposals should be shorter in length (up to one page) and
more suitable for very mature systems (commercial or almost commercial).
Exhibits won't have a paper published in the ICMI 2017 proceedings.

All materials should be prepared in PDF format and submitted through the
ICMI submission system via PCS (https://precisionconference.com/~icmi). The
demo and exhibit paper submissions should not be anonymous. However, all
ACM rules and guidelines related to paper submission should be followed
(e.g. plagiarism, including self-plagiarism).
