CALL FOR PAPERS

The Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Agent Technologies and Systems (IJATS) would like to invite you to consider submitting a manuscript for inclusion in this scholarly journal (www.igi-global.com/ijats).

The following describes the mission, the coverage, and the guidelines for submission to IJATS.

MISSION OF IJATS

The mission of IJATS is to disseminate and discuss high quality research on emerging technologies and successful systems based on the agent and multiagent paradigms. It features innovative findings from various fields of science, engineering, and technology. IJATS is an interdisciplinary journal that brings together researchers from academia, industry, and the government to discuss conceptual issues and implementation of issues using the agent approach in solving real-life problems. As a medium of communication among those researchers and practitioners with interest, the journal explores the benefits of the concepts, simulations, constructions, and applications of agency theories beyond disciplinary boundaries.… read more. “Call: International Journal of Agent Technologies and Systems (IJATS)”

Call for Papers: GameDays 2011
Serious Games for Training, Education, Health and Sports
Darmstadt, Germany
September 12-13

The GameDays have been established in 2005 as “Science meets Business” event in the field of Serious Games, taking place on annual basis in Darmstadt, Germany. The principle aim is to bring together academia and industry and to discuss the current trends, grand challenges and potentials of Serious Games for different application domains. Since 2010, the academic part has been emphasized resulting in a first Int’l workshop on Serious Games for Sports and Health with workshop proceedings and a special edition with selected papers in the Int’l Journal for Computer Science in Sport (URL: http://www.iacss.org/index.php?id=30). This year, the spectrum of topics is broadened and the different facets, methods, concepts and effects of game-based learning and training are covered as well.

Scientists and practitioners are cordially invited to present their latest research achievements and best-practice results and to submit full papers (e.g.,… read more. “Call: GameDays 2011 – Serious Games for Training, Education, Health and Sports”

The Symposium for Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization APGV unites researchers in the fields of perception, graphics, and visualization. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas — in particular research in computer graphics and visualization can benefit from and contribute to research in perception.

Our eighth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. This year, APGV 2011 will be co-located with the European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP), the largest European conference on visual perception.… read more. “Call: Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization (APGV 2011)”

Multimodal Systems for Digital Tourism
SICSA Summer School
St Andrews, Scotland, June 27th – July 1, 2011
http://sachi.org.uk/mmi-dt

The focus of this summer school is to introduce a new generation of researchers to the latest research advances in multimodal systems, in the context of applications, services and technologies for tourists (Digital Tourism). Where mobile and desktop applications can rely on eyes down interaction, the tourist aims to keep their eyes up and focussed on the painting, statue, mountain, ski run, castle, loch or other sight before them. In this school we focus on multimodal input and output interfaces, data fusion techniques and hybrid architectures, vision, speech and conversational interfaces, haptic interaction, mobile, tangible and virtual/augmented multimodal UIs, tools and system infrastructure issues for designing interfaces and their evaluation.

We have structured this summer school as a blend of theory and practice.… read more. “Call: SICSA Summer School: Multimodal Systems for Digital Tourism”

Inner movement – the motor dimension of imagination

1-3 December 2011
Faculty of Fine Arts, University College Ghent, Belgium

This conference explores the role of the moving and gesturing body in the imaginative perception of works of art. Bodily resonance with the way a work of art is or has been created or performed is an essential part of much of our aesthetic experience and appreciation. This kind of ‘inner movement’ is part of our experience of a whole range of works of art, from an implicit tracing of the draftsman’s hand in drawings to an embodied listening in audiovisual works or an explicit feeling of co-embodiment in dance or theatre performances. The notion of ‘inner movement’ refers not to the representation of movement in works of art, but to the constitutive and creative dimension of the motor body in the perception of works of art, and more generally, to the motor dimension of imagination.… read more. “Call: Inner Movement – The Motor Dimension of Imagination (conference in Belgium)”
