A CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

12-13 April
Moving in extended spaces

I’m looking for 3-4 people with interest of working with projections and body-space awareness. Preferably I would like to work with people who have movement background (dance, physical theatre, Mime and alike)

This workshop is built to explore our perception, sensors and movement in spaces that combines projections of another site which has other performers. Projecting another space in the room may create a feeling of an “extension” of the room or a portal to a different site, even more so when there are other people/performers in the other place. The workshop explores the tensions between the projection that functions as an object or as part of the scenography and as spatial bridge which creates a kind of an extension of the room.

This workshop addresses the developing movement in performance to create a link or an extension of space using projections and a live streaming of a different site with other performers.… read more. “Call: Moving in Extended Spaces Workshop”

The 2nd International Conference on Serious Games Development and Applications
19-20 September 2011
Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal

Topics of Interest:

This Conference aims at collecting and disseminating knowledge on serious games technologies, design and development; to provide game designers and interdisciplinary communities with a peer-reviewed forum to discuss the state-of-the-art in serious games research, their ideas and theories, and innovative applications of serious games; to explain cultural, social and scientific phenomena by means of serious games; to concentrate on the interaction between theory and application; to develop new methodologies in various application domains using games technologies; and to explore perspectives of future developments and innovative applications relevant to serious games and related areas. The strong focus of the conference on the application of serious games by organizations implies the strong involvement of industry through the fostering of an environment where all interested stakeholders share knowledge and network with one another.… read more. “Call: 2nd International Conference on Serious Games Development and Applications”

JOURNAL OF AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE AND SMART ENVIRONMENTS

ISSN: 1876-1364
Published by IOS Press

Thematic Issue: A Software Engineering Perspective on Smart Applications for AmI

Deadline for manuscript submission: June 15th, 2011

Background

This thematic issue addresses software engineering perspectives on the design, use and evaluation of Smart Applications for Ambient Intelligence and solicits contributions on recent developments and experiments with such applications in simulated smart environments as well as successful deployments in the real world. Currently, we witness various futuristic application domains that promise smart interaction between humans and computers, with smart objects enabling the internet of things, intelligent transportation systems, and smart grids being some of the more notorious examples receiving a lot of attention nowadays. However, do the advanced computing capabilities of a mobile phone justify calling it a smart-phone? How can software engineering complement artificial intelligence to create smart applications for Ambient Intelligence?… read more. “Call: Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments thematic issue: A Software Engineering Perspective on Smart Applications for AmI”

IEEE CBMS 2011, Bristol England
http://www.cbms2011.org/
Deadline: April 20th 2011
Special Track: “Supporting Collaboration in Healthcare”

The 24th IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS 2011) will be held at the University of the West of England, Bristol, from June 27th to 30th 2011. The conference will provide an international forum for discussing the latest developments in the field of computational medicine, biomedical informatics and related fields. There will be regular and special track sessions with technical contributions reviewed and selected by an international programme committee, as well as keynote talks and tutorials given by leading experts in their fields.

 “Supporting Collaboration in Healthcare”

Healthcare staff are notable in the amount of interaction and mobility exhibited in their work, which often involves synchronous (or asynchronous), coupled, communication and activity, and is sometimes conducted among a distributed team.  The fundamental importance of providing harmonised hospital, social care and community services has also become an identified goal in health and social care. … read more. “Call: “Supporting Collaboration in Healthcare” track of IEEE Computer-Based Medical Systems conference (CBMS 2011)”
