The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP), formerly known as APGV, aims to further the development of inter-disciplinary research that crosses the boundaries between perception and disciplines such as graphics, visualization, vision, haptics and acoustics. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas and the scope includes applications and algorithms in any area of research that incorporates elements of perception and computer science. LOCATION: USC Institute for Creative Technologies. Co-located with Siggraph 2012 in Los Angeles DATES: 3-4 August 2012.…

IIiX 2012: Fourth Information Interaction in Context Symposium http://iiix2012.org Nijmegen, the Netherlands, August 21-24, 2012 Call for Papers The Information Interaction in Context conference (IIiX) explores the relationships between and within the contexts that affect information retrieval (IR) and information seeking, how these contexts impact information behavior, and how knowledge of information contexts and behaviors improves the design of interactive information systems. The intention of IIiX is to foster an integrated approach to information access by bringing together members of the research communities in information seeking behavior (Behavior Track), user interface design for IR systems (Interface Track),  interactive IR (Interaction…

The Alan Turing Centenary Conference June 22-25, 2012 Manchester, UK http://www.turing100.manchester.ac.uk/ During the twentieth century, a number of thinkers – including Kurt Gödel, von Neumann, and Alan Turing – brought the breadth and depth of vision needed to make a number of key breakthroughs. This was particularly true in the areas of computational science, mathematics, physics, and developmental biology. Important accompanying developments were the building of the first computers; the subsequent use of these computers to simulate human intelligence, the use of mathematics to clarify the limitations and potential of computing machines; the engagement at theoretical and practical levels with…
