MMSYM 2015: The 3rd European and the 6th Nordic Symposium on Multimodal Communication
Venue: Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, September 17, 18, 2015

Deadline for papers: May 31 2015

More information at: http://www.mmsym.org

The 3rd European Symposium on Multimodal Communication will be held in Dublin on 17, 18 September 2015.

The symposium provides a forum for researchers from different disciplines who study multimodality in human communication as well as in human-computer interaction. The multimodal communication symposium is organised by the Speech Communication Lab at Trinity College Dublin.

Multimodal communication as a research area is growing rapidly. There is indeed an increased interest in embodied and situated communication – how humans interact with each other using different modalities, as well as how technological artifacts affect communicative activities. Work places as well as school environments, health care and other services increasingly involve complex multimodal communication.… read more. “Call: MMSYM 2015: The 3rd European and the 6th Nordic Symposium on Multimodal Communication”

ICSR 2015: Seventh International Conference on Social Robotics

26^th to 30^th October 2015, Paris, France

http://www.icsoro.org/icsr2015/

The International Conference on Social Robotics brings researchers and practitioners together to report and discuss the latest progress in the field of social robotics. The ICSR conferences focus on the interaction between humans and robots and the integration of robots into our society.

The theme of the 2015 conference is “Individual Differences.”

Robots will improve quality of human life through assistance, enabling for instance independent living or providing support in work-intensive, difficult and possibly complex situations. The conference aims to foster discussion on the development of computational models, robotic embodiments, and behaviour that enable social robots to have an impact on the degree of personalised companionship with humans.

The conference welcomes original contributions describing technically rigorous scientific and philosophical advances in the area of social robotics: Innovative ideas and concepts, new discoveries and improvements, novel applications on the latest fundamental advances in the core technologies that form the backbone of social robotics, distinguished developmental projects, as well as seminal works in aesthetic design, ethics and philosophy, studies on social impact and influence pertaining to social robotics, and its interaction and communication with human beings and its social impact on our society.… read more. “Call: ICSR 2015: Seventh International Conference on Social Robotics”

The Fabrication of Art and Beyond: Making and Inventing in Digital Culture
CHArt 2015 conference, part of the FABRICATION Arts & Humanities Festival
King’s College London, Strand
17 October 2015 (provisional)

Synopses due: Tuesday, 14 April 2015

Art intersects with fabrication. Art as a site of making has been drastically affected by digital and network technologies. The border between being online and offline, if one still exists, has become blurred. This has implications for the ways in which diverse elements are combined to create art. Yet, fabrication also means to devise or construct something new and “more troublingly” to fake and to forge. Does art involve simply the innovation of changes in what is already established by introducing new methods, ideas, or products? Perhaps more radically it should be understood as that which disrupts what previously was or could be known and invites the arrival of what was unforeseen?… read more. “Call: CHArt 2015: The Fabrication of Art and Beyond: Making and Inventing in Digital Culture”
